Manu Ginoseli

Last night I actually watched the San Antonio Spurs play. And I quickly discovered why I do not watch that team. Booooring. The fact that they were playing Shaquille O'Neal could not get me excited. A Shaq alley-oop got me pumped for a second (I searched YouTube for a video of it, with no success). But then Manu Gi"nose"li flopped... on the offensive end. He jumped into Dorell Wright trying to draw the foul on a jump shot, and was thankfully called for an offensive foul.

I had hoped it would be posted on YouTube this morning but it has not surfaced. In my search I found an awesome video of Manu flopping:

Yes, that was Ken Jennings of Jeopardy! fame. I watched that video 30 times in a row.

Happy Thursday. No more scotch for me. Okay, maybe just a little bit.

The Art of Flopping

I do not understand why soccer players flop like crazy. I did not do it was as a kid, nor did my trainers/coaches teach us how to flop. Where do they pick up the techniques and when to flop?

Anyway, some players jump at the opportunity to showcase their acting skills. Take this video for example. It is a freak accident in a South African soccer match in which advertisement boards fly across the field. Yes, I saw a couple players that were hit, but there were double the amount of players on the ground who were not hit.

See for yourself:


How embarrassing... you are a grown ass man and rolling around acting like you are hurt. How the hell do professional soccer players get such hot women?

Flip "Flop" Hooray

Ho! Flopping in sports can be funny. I hated when Vlade Divac did it against the Lakers. I despise it when Manu "Big Nose" Ginobili does it against any team. I love it when a soccer player goes over the top with their acting skills. I hate it when that same soccer player gets carried off on a stretcher, then jumps back onto his feet when they are about to leave the field.

This is my boy Baron Davis. Ex-UCLA Bruin, current baller, Los Angeles loved. He can dunk in Andre Kirilenko's face, but for some reason, cannot take a touch from Mehmet Okur.

Hollywood represent. Seems like his actor and actress friends have rubbed off on him.

Mark my words, next time I am in a soccer/basketball league, I am going to flop like crazy.
