The Hose

Worst Sports Moves Ever

Lost in the hoopla of Shaq and Kobe’s divorce is the fact that the NJ Nets traded Kenyon Martin for 3 lottery protected draft picks.  Now I recognize that real story here is Shaq/Kobe revealing that the true source of their issues over the last couple of years is their on again off again love affair but I just can’t seem to care. What I am interested in is the deranged, stuttering maniac from my home state. The self professed “Bad Ass Yellow Boy” is the heart and soul of the NJ Nets and now he’s gone and the Nets are going to be horrible and it sucks. Yes he has a temper problem, and that stuttering jag is unnerving, and he has no jump shot and his knees suck. But he’s the fifth or sixth most intimidating guy in the NBA. Guys like Antoine Walker and Jermaine O’neal shit their pants when they see K-Mart coming.
 
This Bruce Ratner guy is a complete clown. Not only is he a fundamentally evil corporate stooge but he needs to make everything about that. Who buys a sports team and tries to run it like a business. He should meet the guy who owns the Texas Rangers, Tom Hicks, that guy made his money in LBOs and he runs his freaking team like it’s a monopoly game. Sports teams are big boy toys you dumb f*ck! Why don’t you focus on what you do best, displacing the working class of the five boroughs with his luxury high rises and other offensive crap. Jeez I hate this guy.
 
Having said all that, I think the NY Jets absolutely deserve a Manhattan stadium and their owner, Woody Johnson is a spectacular human being.
 
The most unnerving thing about the Lakers trade is the only guy they got back was Lamar Odom and the Goods, though a great player is a mess. That guy, in his eyes, it says that he’s one terse comment away from doing coke lines off a fifty year old tranny prostitute’s belly.
