Soooo. What's up Ballhypers? Seen any good movies lately? Spiderman 3? What?! That's out already?? Where have I been! Um.. well, I guess we should get back to reviewing this week's best top stories... What's that? Pirates of the Carribbean is coming out too? AND Transformers??? Geez, will the NBA Playoffs end so I can catch these flicks! Sports, sheesh, so inconsiderate!

-- Seemingly eons ago, but still happened this within this past week: B. Diddy's jam on AK 47. Ah, those Warriors, what fantasic joy ride. Thanks Dubs! Oh and Jason: P-I-C-T-U-R-E-S!!

-- Surely, the big NBA story, by a mile is obviously Paul Shirley's new book... er... No? Well, I guess it could be that whole "Robert Horry/Suns/Spurs/Amare/Diaw/David (I AM THE LAW!) Stern" clusterf@#% that NBA fans have been subjected to for the entire week.

-- Just to comment on the above a bit: it effin' sucks.

-- Okay, I'm not the bestest NFL person in the world (I learn everything I need to know about football from Friday Night Lights), but Brett Favre didn't retire yet? I was so sure that happened, like 5 years ago!

-- Speaking of non-retirements: I love how old school video game nostalgia gets bloggers all synched up! My common nostalgic goto blogging specialty? Whale Hunting. So next time there's a seal hunting story involving the NBA, I'll be all up in there

-- Ichiro might leave Seattle? Well, could you kindly take the fake hospital Seattle Grace from the tv show Grey's Anatomy with you? Because damn son, that finale last night was weak as hell. "I'm free"?? What the hell? (Another growing theme I notice around the male sports bloggers---it's not that we watch the show, but we actually like admitting to it... I'm not weird I swear!)

-- Amazing double entendre headlines. I'd like you double YOUR entendre! Ripping-Off-Scrubs-FIVE!
