Show of Hands: Who Still Thinks Monkey King Is Undeserving
At the beginning of the season, there was little buzz about Sun Yue, the new Laker guard known as the “Chinese Magic Johnson.” By the All-Star break, Sun fell to fourth on L.A.’s point guard depth chart behind Derek Fisher, Jordan Farmar and first-year Laker Girl Jessica. Indeed, he’s become a forgotten man on an NBA Champion squad full of superstars and top-shelf role players. Or so most fans think. Sidelines sat down with the Monkey King himself (and M.K.’s translator), amidst all the hubbub of being an NBA champion, for a telling interview in which he discusses Matchbox 20, championship prep and why he’s clearly as deserving of a ring as anyone else.
Mercury Falling, LifeLock Rising, pt. 2
By now it’s no longer big news that LifeLock will be sponsoring the Phoenix Mercury, placing their name and logo boldly across the players’ fronts, leaving no room for things of lesser importance such as the city the team resides in or the team’s actual name. I hope they thought long and hard about this and how they’ve doomed themselves to become known as the LifeLock Mercury from this point on. But it’s not all bad to accept the sponsorship and ride them as far as they’ll take you, which is why I gave the Eastern Conference teams some suggestions of who they might want to hit up as a better alternative to batting their lashes and asking daddy for a loan. Or selling candy bars door to door.
MMA Fighter Shimmies Down Weight Classes In Hopes of Shimmying Out Jail Window
Middleweight Lee Murray (8-2-1), best known for beating up light heavyweight Tito Ortiz in a 2002 London street brawl (unsanctioned of course, this ain’t “Rocky V“), has been holed up in a Moroccan prison for over a year on drug charges. For most, that would be the end of a wild story. For Murray, it’s the middle. Last week, the mixed martial artist of five years, was found attempting a jailbreak in what is likely just Murray’s next chapter, not final chapter.
Fuzzy Math: Does A Pens/Steelers Combo Outweigh BucStink?
My keyboard doesn’t have a “make living in Pittsburgh a bearable experience despite the” button, so you’ll just have to deal with the “>” sign. Anyone know the keyboard shortcut for that symbol?
