Original post from TPIC: Friday Sports Roundup
First off, let’s congratulate the Golden State Warriors for re-signing the new face of their Franchise, Mr. Monta Ellis. Baron who? Mr. Ellis just got one of the highest raises in NBA history, making about $770,000 last year to making over $11 million next year.
Now let’s hope the Warriors can re-sign Andris Biedrins as well. He wants money, and the Warriors are the only team who can give him the money, maybe roughly in the 6-year, $48 million range. However, sources said that some Russian teams are offering him more. Andris Biedrins, please don’t pull a Josh Childress.
Happy 44th Birthday to our favorite ex-Giant Barry Bonds. He turned 44 yesterday, and his birthday present was FREEDOM, at least for now. The Giants celebrated for him with Matt Cain throwing a complete game 4-hit shutout, and the Giants beating the Nationals 1-0, proving that the Giants don’t need Bonds’ steroid-injected homers, if only it was for a couple games against one of the worst teams in baseball. With the Giants being the 4th worst team in baseball, they’re able to sweep the ABSOLUTE worst teams, the Washington Nationals. The others, the San Diego Padres and the Seattle Mariners. Congratulations Giants, you’re not the worst team…yet.
Jimmy Rollins, the reigning NL MVP, the Alameda, CA native. What’s he doing on this blog? I put him here today because I believe he had the best excuse yesterday for making to his baseball game on time.
The Phillies are in a 3-team battle with the New York Mets and the Florida Marlins for 1st place in the NL East. Every game counts from now on. Rollins wasn’t in the lineup because he was stuck in traffic. Way to take one for the team, Jimmy. I guess if you’re the MVP, you can do whatever you want. That’s why your team lost. That’s why you get a ball in your face.
This coming Sunday, the San Jose Sabercats will once again become Arena Bowl Champions in Arena Bowl XXII. 4th time in 7 years or something like that. They’re unstoppable. It doesn’t matter who their opponents are. So don’t forget, Sunday. Watch it, or don’t, it doesn’t matter. We already know the results. I’m too lazy to look up the time, or channel. Too bad.
L.A. Sparks vs. Detroit Shock in an all-out brawl. You women are crazy. Who do you think you are? First you dunk, now you fight. What’s going on?! And suspensions? Slow down, WNBA, 4 entire games? That’s ridiculous. Ron Artest only got suspended for like the entire season, but man, that’s 4 HUUUUUUUUGE games here for what’s her name from the Detroit Shock!! I am definitely SHOCKED!!!
That about does it for our Friday Sports Roundup. Peace out and have a safe weekend!
