Chris Bosh Says Rick Ross’ Welcome To Miami Is ‘Cool’

‘They didn’t have any problem expressing their opinions of their want for us down there,’ Miami Heat’s Bosh says. By Shaheem Reid Chris Bosh Photo: MTV News Oh, you crazy Vinny Chase. You wait until you’re over 30 years old before you decide to start riding the white horse. And we’re not talking about the kind of stallion the Lone Ranger gallops in on either. Last night on HBO’s “Entourage,” the lead character had a wild party with loud music and a bunch of friends. And one of the guests in attendance was none other than Chris Bosh of the Miami Heat. The All-Star was playing it cool, chilling by the bar, saying what’s up to Turtle. “It’s funny, you watch the show, you see how it’s going. I don’t know how it’s going to be ‘Hey yo Chris. How is it going?’ but the setting is in Vince’s house, at a party,” Bosh explained last week in New York. “It’s regular. I brought the nice, wholesome vibe to the party … I brought all the chocolate milk.” Bosh was joking about the milk part. He just became a spokesman for the “Got Milk?” campaign, promoting awareness to the children that chocolate milk is healthy (“It’s good fuel for you after workouts as far as putting back proteins and carbs is concerned,” he said). Bosh also just finished a documentary that takes us through the journey of his free-agency period, when he left the Toronto Raptors for the Miami Heat, and said that acting is something he could see himself venturing into in the future if the opportunity presents itself. “That’s always something that I’m very interested in. I love movies, I love TV shows,” he said. “That’s something I want to get into eventually. You never know what you like until you try it.” The Heat start the season in October and Bosh, along with his other superstar teammates Dwyane Wade and LeBron James, has already been embraced by the city, especially the hip-hop community. “They didn’t have any problem expressing their opinions of their want for us down there,” Bosh said of rap luminaries such as DJ Khaled and Rick Ross being a part of the welcome wagon. “After ‘the Decision,’ it was known we were going down there. Somebody told me they saw Rick Ross on the Internet saying he was so excited about basketball, and he just had a album come out. I think it’s cool that everybody’s excited about us down there.”

Embattled Weigel Calls Sources of Criticism of His Ideology ‘Partisan Anti-Media Groups’

At this point, we all know the Dave Weigel saga, which is as a so-called blogger for The Washington Post, he made some disparaging remarks about the people he covered as a conservative beat blogger. That eventually led to his resignation at the Post and he addressed it on CNN’s July 4 “Reliable Sources.” Weigel was asked by host Howard Kurtz if in this day and age it was “an uncomfortable fit” for someone to have a lot of opinions and still be a blogger. And according to Weigel, there was despite attacks from what he called “partisan anti-media groups.” “I think there’s room for it. I mean, but I think it’s going to be the source of a lot of attacks from, you know, partisan anti-media groups who just want to score points against mainstream media organizations, ” Weigel said. “So, people have to be ready for that. You have to be ready to defend your opinions.” Newsbusters and the Media Research Center have documented Weigel’s missteps during his brief stint at the Post and even prior to the leaked Journolist e-mails , so it’s not clear if he’s referring to us, but it’s certainly a possibility. Still as a member of the fourth estate, Weigel doesn’t believe he should have to defend his biases, if they’re in private. “I don’t think you should have to defend the opinions you have in private, because people are — every day, you know, people who are in this town are exchanging private opinions,” he continued. “They would not broadcast them. They say things at dinner parties with lots of people around that they would not want out. You shouldn’t have to say — you shouldn’t have to explain that away. But you should be allowed to say I’m a blogger with these opinions and I’m breaking news, my readers know what they’re getting when they read this website. I think that’s perfectly defensible just for me in a different publication.”
