Final Four Picks Tonight

UCLA v. Florida- The Gators are the heavy favorite in this game but I wouldn't be surprised if UCLA pulls of the upset for two reasons. The first one being that Ben Howland is one master of a coach at UCLA and will have a game plan that will put the Briuns in position to win the game. The second reason being that the Gators will be distracted by head coach Billy Donovan's in(decision) to leave the program for more money at the University of Kentucky or with the Miami Heat.

Prediction: UCLA 61 Florida 56

Georgetown v. Ohio State- This game will have a battle of giants between Roy Hibbard and Greg Oden. The big men should cancel each other out so look for the guards to decide this guy. Ohio State's Mike Connelly Jr. is a difference maker. If Georgetown can't stop him then look for the Buckeyes to roll.

Prediction Georgetown 67 Ohio State 64

Kobe Scores 50 for 4th straight game

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant scored 50 points for the fourth consecutive game on Friday night against the New Orleans Hornets. Bryant is only the second player in NBA history to accomplish the task. The other player to do it being the immortal Wilt 'The Stilt' Chamberlain. Wilt holds the record with seven straight 50 pointers.

On a side note the Lakers won the game 111-105 over the Hornets. It was the first time this year that L.A. has beaten N.O. The Lakers have won all four games during Bryant's streak and now have a record of 37-32.

Kobe's Points By Opponent

• March 23, 2007, New Orleans Hornets (31-38), 50 points
• March 22, 2007, Memphis Grizzlies (17-52), 60 points
• March 18, 2007, Minnesota Timberwolves (29-38), 50 points
  
• March 16, 2007, Portland Trailblazers (29-40), 65 points

The combined record of these four teams is 106-168 (0.387%) but who is looking at that. Kobe will have a chance to make it five in a row on Sunday night against the Golden State Warriors.

John Brady...the Devil Dancing in the Pale Moonlight

First, let me explain the name. JohnBrady'sFatCheeks is a moniker esteeming Louisiana's resident #1 gentleman, John Brady (top right), men's basketball coach at LSU. Brady has a set of delightfully rotund jowls, giving many fans of rival SEC teams some rather lewd verbal ammunition, if you're picking up what we're laying down. Now, I'm not the type to go there - especially for a human role model such as John Brady. I think Brady's jowls are quite cute, in fact - and apparently so did former stripper-turned-workout-tycoon Misty Champagne, Brady's wife (top left). Brady's cheeks are so cute, that he even recently turned down a cheek-modeling contract from Revlon.

Brady's facial expression (top right) is par for the course. In this case he's most likely inviting an official to a benefit dinner at Brady's house for cancer research. Again, this guy's a humanitarian. The world is a better place because he is here. Hurricane Katrina blazed over the Gulf as a category-5 monster, but Brady intervened just before its New Orleans impact to reduce it to a category-4. Humanitarian....of Biblical proportions.

You should model your life after John Brady. No, really, you should.

Kobe Bryant Suspended for Intentional Elbow to Face

Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant has been suspended by the NBA office for a flailing elbow on his follow through that caught Minnesota Timberwolves guard Marko Jaric in the nose. Check out the video here. It is the second time Bryant has been suspended for hitting a player in the face this year. Earlier this year he was suspended for doing the same thing to Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs.

Last season Bryant was suspended for two games for clotheslining Mike Miller of the Memphis Grizzlies. At least he didn't grab Jaric by the neck and bend him over a hotel chair. Be sure to check out Kobe and the 666 Connection.

David Beckham Injures Knee in Match

The $250 million dollar man David Beckham injured his right knee during a match with Getafe. Beckham was playing for Spain's Madrid team.

Beckham appeared to sustain the problem midway through the second half of the Primera Liga match, after mishitting a cross and then running into the advertising hoardings behind the goal.He stayed on the pitch for a while seemingly in a bid to run the injury off but, with no apparent improvement, he was substituted with Antonio Cassano taking his place.

This is a major blow to both Madrid and Beckham. The team is facing two tough away matches next week. Beckham had recently signed a $250 million dollar contract to play for MLS's Los Angeles Galaxy. Healthy portions of the contract revolve around endorsements and a percentage of merchandise sales.

The injury to the knee looks to be very serious. The best scenario has him able to play in six weeks and the worst being a torn ACL which would put him out of action for about a year.

Pacman Jones Criminal Rap Sheet

Adam ‘Pacman’ Jones is the poster child for everything that is wrong with the NFL. NFL teams continue to draft thugs and convicts without regarding for their moral character or criminal record. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell is considering a proposal where NFL players will be kicked out of the league after three strikes.

Here is a rap sheet look at all of Pacman’s brushes with the law since joining the NFL’s Tennessee Titans:

July 13, 2005- Arrested and charged with assault and felony vandalism after a nightclub altercation. This began Pacman Jones NFL rap sheet. He already had a lengthy one from high school and college.

September 5, 2005- Adam was invited to attend the Nashville Sports Council Kickoff Luncheon. Jones went off on a verbal tirade while being told to wait for his car after the event. He then refused to tip the valet service.

October 2005- State of West Virginia filed a petition stating that Jones had not been contacting his probation officer and that he had not reported his July 2005 arrest. The judge extended the probation for just 90 days.

March 23, 2006- Charged with marijuana possession in Fayetteville, Georgia. He went on to claim that he knew how to beat the NFL’s drug test.

August 25, 2006- Arrested for disorderly conduct and public intoxication after being ordered by the cops to leave a Murfreesboro night club several times. Jones claimed a woman stole his wallet. The woman claimed that Jones spat on her. The judge in the case gave Pacman six months probation and told him to stay away from the club.

October 26, 2006- Jones was issued a citation for misdemeanor assault after a female student from Tennessee State University claimed that Jones spit in her face at a Nashville night club.

Feburary 19, 2007- The facts are disputed and no charges have been made yet, but Jones was in the middle of a fight and shooting at a strip club in Las Vegas that left one man paralyzed and two more wounded. The fight broke out after Jones showered strippers on stage with $81,000 dollars. The club owner claims Jones was beating a strippers head against the bar while claiming to kill one of the club’s employees.

The above time line doesn’t include his sentence of one year in prison for a bar fight in Morgantown, West Virginia while in college. The sentence was later suspended in exchange for two years of probation (because he is a really good football player).

Here is a look at the options the Tennessee Titans have if they decide to cut Pacman Jones. He doesn’t only need to be cut, but Jones needs to serve some time. He has been given preferential treatment his entire life because he is good at playing football.
