Random Shots

-so Allen Iverson has decided to come out of (a one week) retirement to rejoin the 76ers ... way to sabatoge my fantasy team AI (I currently hold Andre Iguodala and Samuel Dalembert) ... if it does indeed turn out as I'm forecasting, my hate for him will rise to LeBron James levels ... never really been a fan of AI anyway, because I'm partial to winning ... and please nobody bring up his MVP/Finals year, he needed a late season trade for a prime Dikembe Mutombo to get that done ...

-in the aftermath of Tiger Woods' highly publicized car crash, reports are surfacing of alleged infidelities ... a wealthy, elite level athlete accused of stepping outside his marriage ... really?!?!

-based on reports from ESPN and Yahoo's boxing sites, Floyd Mayweather Jr. has agreed to a fight with Manny Pacquiao, the only thing left is for Pacman to give his seal of approval ... I must say I'm shocked ... what's it been? not even a week of negotiations ... I guess the dollar signs kicked some common sense into Money May ... it's true what they say "money talks" ...

-in what was supposed to be a tune-up fight leading to an overdue rematch with Bernard Hopkins, Roy Jones Jr. was KO'd in the First Round by Danny Green of all people ... like I said on Twitter and Facebook, how the mighty have fallen SMH ... it's just so sad to see a legend go out like this, something that's become all too common in boxing ...

what's up with J-Smooth?

-I'm not one that can play video games by myself for more than half an hour, no matter how good the game is ... it's been no different when playing Punch-Out!! and New Super Mario Bros. Wii ... since getting each game, I've probably spent a total of under 90 minutes on each ... and in Punch Out, I'm closing in on completing "Title Defense Mode", while in Mario Bros., I've already reached World 8 ... this is a message directed to an individual in particular, who's making his homecoming soon and recently challenged me in Street Fighter 4, under-estimating my skills will be your undoing, LOL ...

-finally, I'm currently in the middle of a competition amongst a couple members of the familia, The D-Mac 6-Pack Challenge ... the name of the competition should be self-explanatory ... the end-date is the day before my sister's wedding next July ... all the losers pool together to buy the winner (the one with the best abs) a big meal of their choosing from any restaurant ... at this point, I only have two serious competitors ... I'll say two things ... one: to my competition, start planning a trip to Jollibee and 7/11 into your schedules ... two: this is a thoroughbred race, unless certain individuals decide to grow some juevos, my little ponies out there should stay on the farm ...
