The end of an era

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!

As im sure you all know the Lakers have fallen from their perch and no one out there is happier than i am =)

I do have to be honest though, this playoff season i didnt watch any of their games....like none lol

BUT thats because i have a theory...the past few years that i have watched the lakers games religiously waiting for them to lose.....they never did. After thinking about it for a while i figured they were winning because i was watching.

So i took it upon myself this year to test my theory, i didnt watch any games and BAM they lost!....sooooo all of you can thank me for the lakers losing, im sure if i would have watched even one game they would have won....and you know....that would be terrible. Instead of you having a happy blogger i would have been PISSED and this post would have been completely different.

The most AMAZING thing about the whole lakers losing is the way they went out......IN A SWEEP!

Say it with me SWEEEEEEEEEEEEP! =D

I couldnt be happier.

If you look at if for what it really is, for the past 3 years the playoffs and championships have been ran by the lakers and the celtics and for the first time in what can seem like forever for any NBA fan.....there is change in the air.

*Takes a deep breath*

It smells so sweet!

"You wont be on our shit"

Thats what Champion sports apparel is saying to Steeler's running back Rashard Mendenhall.

But why??

Apparently Champion has kicked Mendenhall from representing their clothing line due to.....get this ....TWITTER!

Thats right TWITTER. Mendenhall has been let go as one of Champions spokesman because a few days ago he tweeted about bin laden, how people were celebrating and that maybe..JUST MAYBE the government was lying about some things. But you know....thats crazy who would ever think such things *side eye* Anywho after seeing that...they kicked him the the curb


Today Champion released a statement to USA Today saying:

Champion is a strong supporter of the government's efforts to fight terrorism and is very appreciative of the dedication and commitment of the U.S. Armed Forces. Earlier this week, Rashard Mendenhall(notes), who endorses Champion products, expressed personal comments and opinions regarding Osama bin Laden and the September 11 terrorist attacks that were inconsistent with the values of the Champion brand and with which we strongly disagreed. In light of these comments, Champion was obliged to conduct a business assessment to determine whether Mr. Mendenhall could continue to effectively communicate on behalf of and represent Champion with consumers. While we respect Mr. Mendenhall's right to express sincere thoughts regarding potentially controversial topics, we no longer believe that Mr. Mendenhall can appropriately represent Champion and we have notified Mr. Mendenhall that we are ending our business relationship. Champion has appreciated its association with Mr. Mendenhall during his early professional football career and found him to be a dedicated and conscientious young athlete. We sincerely wish him all the best.

ok so i  can look at this two ways....

1) The last time i checked people have the freedom of speech and can say whatever the hell they want and all Mendenhall did was exercise that right. *throws fist in the air* more power to you my chocolate brother FIGHT THE POWER! Lol

2) But....what people fail to realize is there is a consequence to anything you say...especially if your in the public eye...and hold a contract as some companies spokesperson. If what you say does not go along with popular opinion, the companies brand or....fucks with their image..you best believe you will be out of there QUICK and if your a sports star there are PLENTY who can replace you. Mendenhall should have been thinking.

*shrugs* looks like Mr. Mendenhall will be pulling a Beyonce and going to the left to the left lol.

So as Champion does image clean up, Mendenhall calculates hes new yearly income without this endorsement and we yawn at this topic by tomorrow...because lets be honest on a scale of one to ten this is a two unless you saw the tweet first hand no one will care by lunch time .

Heating it up

Two games in and the Miami Heat are trying to make a statement.

With back to back wins under their belt it seems at though the Heat are on the fast track to knocking the Celtics out of the playoffs...but could it really be that simple?

I cant imagine the Celtics getting sweeped or going out without a fight. Honestly i don't even think that team know the definition of "broom".

Looking at the whole situation I cant say that Miami is just getting lucky because they do have the skills to make this happen but with both games scores ending with the teams only a few points from each other its clear that given a little more time those games could have went either way.

Now if there was a blow out involved i may have been prone to say that Miami has this down.

But as basketball fans we all know the playoffs breed comebacks.

More than anything Msairmaxnheels will be keeping their eye on this match up.

Stay tuned for updates

Miami vs. Boston



Game 1 - Miami 99, Boston 90


Game 2 - Miami 102, Boston 91


Over All Prediction: Boston

Maaaaaaan Fuck the playoffs

....Im just saying

Look there is no secret that Msairmaxnheels is #TEAMORLANDOMAGIC and yes i am a tad bitter that they got knocked out by the Hawks...i mean lets be honest, most people forget the hawks are even a team. (I know i do) BUT i know that theres nothing to worry about because the Bulls will give them the business.

Although i feel like there may be an upset in this semi final round (yes im saying the Bulls may be knocked out by the Hawks trust me, i didnt want to say it but im sayin it)

Anywho moving on.

The fact that the Heat made it to the semi finals is NOT a shocker....i mean come on they shelled out enough cash to make the super team they had better of made it to some part of the playoffs.

Will they beat the Celtics? For the love of god i hope so (but thats only because i hate the Celtics)

But let me stop being petty and  look at this skill wise. Miami has the heart and the skill to go all the way but so do the Celtics thats why they are both in the playoffs. The difference between the Celtics and the Heat is that above all else the Celtics are finishers which cant be said about all NBA teams. So for right now though i would LOVE for Miami to take out Boston out. Im going to give this win to Boston.

As for the west coast semi finals i almost feel as though there is no reason to even speak on it. We all know at the end of the day none of this really matters the Lakers will make it to the finals. *shrugs*.......eh but give me a few days...maybe ill speak on it.

Long of the short......as of right now...FUCK THE PLAYOFFS
