LA Clippers - "BallHoggin"

I'm watchin SportsCenter and realize that the Clippers (who just got Blake Griffin for a small forward position; and is an offensive threat) are looking to pick up Allen Iverson from the Detroit Pistons.

I know the whole backlog of drama where Iverson feels he deserves a superstar paycheck but hasn't given superstar production. On top of this, he has to start wherever he plays. High risk-high reward type person. Almost like a T.O. So thinking that the Clippers are making a smart move in looking to him...

I think the team has a handful of offensive weapons. Now can they share to score? That is ultimately the question that has to be answered per this situation. Baron Davis pretty much runs point and plays at a high pace. A pace that their big investment (Blake Griffin) can hang with. Allen Iverson can hang with this pace, but the problem is......Blake; Can Score. Baron; Can Score. Now.... Iverson; Can Score. I'm not sure if I'm seeing this in the wrong light....

But the Clippers are making great moves to become relevant on the west coast. But..... stacking your team with offensive weapons can end up having you look like the Warriors which are in northern california. A.k.a. The same state (is this becoming the west coast style? concerning the suns played at a high pace, the warriors and even the trailblazers and hornets.)

Have the Clippers ultimately produced to be a left coast competitor for the playoffs in 2010, but lacks post-up ability? I'm interested in watching the Clippers, especially if they pick up Allen Iverson being that they are a heavy Offensive team now.

Pujols is a god d*mn Beast!

Good god.

I love that his name is "The Machine" because his english is so broken. But without a doubt, I think he's amazing. I really hope his name isn't on the list that A-Rod's on. That gives us true hope comparing to the Pujols and McGuire era.

The Machine gets it done and is a good man. That's ultimately what true American Baseball Culture is about.

Damn Padres

So I'm watching Sportscenter on mute....

Someone from the SF Giants just got his record and it was during a beating of my San Diego Padres.

Effers!!

Weight Classes (MMA)

As I sit and ponder... I realize the purpose to speak on something important in MMA... Weight Classes.


I feel that the UFC made their own weight classes on a broad scale of what was fitting for the moment. Is this true information, No. I honestly do not know. But I do however believe in balance.

With the influence of the UFC, I believe they should rebuild their weight classes.

In my opinion the weight classes for the Zuffa Family should follow:

UFC
155 - LightWeight
165 - Welterweight
175 - Heavy Welterweight
185 - Middleweight
195 - Heavy Middleweight
205 - Light Heavyweight
225 - Heavyweight

WEC
105 - Super Flyweight
115 - Flyweight
125 - Light Bantamweight
135 - Bantamweight
145 - Featherweight
265 - Cruiserweight

I also feel that if Zuffa was to market towards the Female MMA culture, they should do so on WEC and not UFC.
