THE LAKERS BLACK MAMBA DRAMA - In games, Kobe Bryant would often disregard the set offense completely to experiment with his own one-on-one moves, incensing the normally calm Phil Jackson. Bryant managed to test Jackson's patience enough that the "Zen Master" even demanded that Bryant be traded

LeBron James is the only current player that qualified for this very special lineup

Sports Notes - MEDIA HITS NFL BELOW THE BELT- September, 2014
ENOUGH ALREADY!!! - American media is having a field day stirring up trouble and being the judge and jury of the National Football League (NFL) and its stars while ignoring more important issues such as Israel illegal annexation of more Palestinian land. Ray Rice and Adrian Peterson are presently the most prominent subjects who have been sentenced by the media without a trial in the American legal system. Is this about boosting television ratings while destroying lives?

BAD BOY, BAD BOY, WHATCHA GONNA DO? - The debate goes on but one thing is certain, without a doubt Luis Suarez has topped Dennis Rodman as being the most controversial athlete in the world.

Sports Notes - LOUIS VAN GAAL ATTACKS ENGLISH MEDIA - May, 2014
VAN GAAL IS NOT WARM & FUZZY - Netherlands's national team manager Louis Van Gaal is not going to be the warm and fuzzy type as is the English media darling Jose Mourinho.

Sports Notes - MOYES (DOA) WAS DEAD ON ARRIVAL - April, 2014
THE DEVIL DIDN'T MAKE THEM DO IT… POOR RESULTS DID - David Moyes task was overwhelming taking over a position that was commanded for 27 years by Alex Ferguson who many consider the best football manager ever.

The writing was on the wall that Moyes was doomed from the start since he didn't bleed Man U RED

Sports Notes - JACKSON (Phil) BACK IN ACTION - March, 2014
JACKSON's ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS - Phil Jackson, now New York Knicks president of basketball operations, is an NBA legend in his own time. He is the leagues winningest coach.

When one is looking for a winner then look for Phil Jackson

BRONCOS??? DAY WAS MUGGED - Who-da thunk it meaning the thrashing that the Seattle Seahawks gave the Denver Broncos in a 43-8 Super Bowl result?

Sports Notes - JOSE (Mourinho) WHAT'S THE MATA? - January, 2014
WHERE IS THE LOVE? - Is Jose Mourinho going through an aging process? Why can't he get along with Iker Casillas, Cristiano Ronaldo and Juan Mata? Is this about power or tough love? Yea…. WHERE IS THE LOVE??? Is Mourinho a tough task master or is he becoming a power driven cantankerous old man? Problems with players first arose with Iker Casillas then Cristiano Ronaldo and most recently Juan Mata. Is Mourinho spot on or has he lost the plot?

Sports Notes SPECIAL - IT'S BEAT DOWN DENNIS RODMAN TIME … AGAIN - Part 1 - January, 2014
DENNIS RODMAN… THE PEACEABLE MAN - Here we go again! It's BEAT DOWN Dennis Rodman time again. Rodman can't win as he tries to do something US government officials can't….. COMMUNICATE. Rodman's escapades in visiting North Korea have brought him nothing but anguish. His efforts may be unappreciated but he has proved that he has more balls (pun intended) than the American government. As he speaks it is clear that Rodman is not a wordsmith but his actions show how chicken $#!t the American government officials and the Western media are. It raises the question is America really the LAND OF THE BRAVE?
