Kobe Bryant Wins 2010 Finals MVP

Posted on June 17, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Filed under: Celtics , Lakers , NBA Finals He may not have won the regular season MVP. But as the 2009-10 season drew to a close, Kobe Bryant was the last superstar left standing. And while tonight may not have been his most scintillating performance ever, Bryant did what he had to, leading his team to the NBA title over the Boston Celtics . That’s why, for the second time in as many postseasons, the Lakers are taking home the Larry O’Brien trophy and Kobe hoisted the Bill Russell Award, better known as the NBA Finals MVP. The game that clinched the title for Bryant and the Lakers was hard fought and often ugly. Bryant wasn’t exactly his usual high-scoring self, going for 23 points on 6 for 24 shooting. In keeping with the gritty game, though, he did pull down 15 boards — much as, earlier in the playoffs, Kobe put up higher-than-usual assist totals when his team needed to get together on offense.

USC-Hawaii Still On For College Football’s Opening Weekend

Posted on June 17, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Among the weirder penalties levied in USC’s general direction by the Committee On Infractions was the elimination of their 13th regular-season game, which was actually the season opener at Hawaii. Some background on why this is possible in the first place: The Sept. 2 game at Aloha Stadium was in doubt because sanctions levied against USC last week prevented exemptions from the current 12-game NCAA limit. A 1955 bylaw known as the “Hawaii Exemption” permits visiting teams to play one game more than the NCAA maximum if traveling to Hawaii. The rule was established to allow teams to schedule an extra home game to recoup lost revenue from traveling outside the continental 48. It’s Hawaii, however, that would have really suffered the hit to the wallet here with the loss of a home contest, and the NCAA has agreed to push the docking of a 13th game back a year : “We want to thank the committee for granting this relief,” said Todd Dickey, USC’s senior vice president for administration. “It recognizes the serious financial impacts game cancellation would have had to the university and state of Hawaii, as well as the fans and supporters of USC who have already made travel arrangements.” Yes, won’t someone think of the fans with the means to jet off to the islands to watch their team administer a bloodbath? Or of the certain four-letter sports network that stood to lose the nightcap of its opening-day coverage bonanza? The reality is the estimated million-dollar payday is one Hawaii’s cash-strapped athletic department could ill afford to lose. Coincidentally, “a million” is also the number of offensive yards the Trojans are expected to record in Honolulu. (Thank you!)

Scotty Lago Leaves Vancouver Olympics After Racy Photo Controversy

Posted on February 21, 2010 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Snowboarder Scotty Lago bolted the Winter Olympics after a racy photo surfaced of him inviting girls to kiss his bronze medal. While it hung around his waist. The third-place finisher in the men’s halfpipe snowboarding event voluntarily left after the risque photos of a woman kissing and biting his … medal surfaced. The 22-year-old free spirit was snapped with his bronze medal around his waist and the hardware hung over his groin area on a public street late Thursday. Pretty rad display all around. A second shot showed a woman biting the medal, but this time Scotty Lago held it up by the logo on his Team USA T-shirt. Hey, a dude’s gotta celebrate . KISS OFF: Snowboarder Scotty Lago is in hot water with the U.S. Olympic Committee and Snowboard Association after inviting the ladies to kiss deez bronze medalz . In response to the controversy, Lago apologized to the U.S. Olympic Committee and the U.S. Ski and Snowboard Association, which required its athletes to attend a special program prior to the games to avoid potential PR nightmares. That was time well spent! Association President and CEO Bill Marolt said: “Scotty Lago is a great athlete, but with that talent comes a responsibility of proper conduct, and his involvement in this situation is not acceptable.” “With that said, Scotty realizes that his conduct was inappropriate. He has formally apologized and also made a decision to leave Vancouver today.” Reports say his “voluntary” departure was prompted by an ultimatum from the U.S. Olympic Committee: say you’re sorry and go or we kick you out. No further action against the Seabrook, N.H. native appears likely. In other Olympics news, how about those Lindsey Vonn photos ?! Hot damn!

An amendment that would prevent the government from working with contractors who deny victims of sexual assault the right to bring their case in court has survived attempts to dull its impact and seems poised to become law. The Senate Committee on Appropriation passed, on Tuesday, a defense appropriations bill that included the “anti-rape” amendment introduced by Sen.
