The Deuce will be changing soon. No more dog poo background, its time for something new. We might even have ourselves a nifty logo at the top instead of the text we have now. Things are a changin.
We are going to try to keep the color scheme the same and we’re going to have 3 columns instead of the 2 we currently have in an effort to clean up the page a bit. Does anyone have any suggestions, comments, wishes, or hate they want to get off their chest before the redesign is complete? Leave a comment, let the Deuce know what’s on your mind.
The over/under on total wins for the Washington Wizards is 40 games. FOURTY GAMES?? You kidding me? How is a team that finished 42-40 in the 2005-06 season and 41-41 last season (with a TON of injuries) predicted to win less than 40 games? Gilbert, Caron and Antawn must be licking their chops if they know about this…and if I had access to an online gambling site I would be too. While we’re here, here is one homer’s look at the Wizards roster for the year. I dont see how this team doesnt win 41 games…maybe because its all offense and no defense, i dunno.
G. Arenas – Easily one of the top 5 scorers in the league A. Blatche – Finally figuring it all out, very talented all around player C. Butler – Easily one of the top 40 players in the league A. Daniels – Quality veteran bench player B. Haywood – Needs to produce more with Etan out A. Jamison – Getting old, but just shoots more and more from outside R. Mason - Young bench scoring, not much else D. McGuire - Rookie unknown, could be an great defender O. Pecherov - Essentially a rookie, can score and rebound off bench D.Songaila – Experienced scorer, good size and outside shot D. Stevenson – Experienced defender, can score when he gets the chance E.Thomas – Done for the year with bad heart N. Young - Rookie, but can score in bunches, will be big off bench
Scientists at SUNY Stony Brook have found that by putting mice on a platform that buzzes at a low frequency for 15 minutes a day, five days a week, for 15 weeks, they have 27 percent less fat than mice that did not stand on the platform — and correspondingly more bone.
“Bone is notorious for ‘use it or lose it,’” Dr. Rubin said. “Astronauts lose 2 percent of their bone a month. People lose 2 percent a decade after age 35. Then you look at the other side of the equation. Professional tennis players have 35 percent more bone in their playing arm. What is it about mechanical signals that makes Roger Federer’s arm so big?”
Apparently this vibration triggers those mechanical signals to grow more bone instead of storing fat in the marrow. The caution is that they don’t know if it works in humans yet and maybe it will work to well and cause too much bone growth.
Some answers may come from the federal clinical trial, which will include 200 elderly people in assisted living.
…and maybe Barry Bonds. Which NFL or MLB team will be the first to invest in this so that their players never break their bones again? Patriots with their mad genius coach, Redskins with their bottomless money pit owner? Sure, we’re about 10 steps away from players becoming Wolverine with bones laced in metal, but super boned athletes would be one hell of a way to never see players get hurt because of a broken bone. Sign Ken Griffey up right away.
If blog hater Sam Smith is right, Kobe Bryant might need to load up on Dockers and start wearing his work ID around his neck even when he’s not at work.
Smith reports that Kobe Bryant could move to the Washington Wizards with Agent Zero moving the other way. Most seem to think that a move to the Bulls is inevitable but an unnamed GM familiar with the Bryant talks thinks a Lakers-Wizards trade could happen.
This seems like a long shot as a one for one trade would be highly unlikely. Smith notes that the Lakers would also want a power forward which the Wizards don’t have. Bryant also has a no-trade clause and hasn’t expressed any interest in going to DC.
Arenas is talking about opting out of his contract after this season. He’s from Los Angeles and has become a star, one of the league’s highest-scoring players and an engaging personality who would embrace the Hollywood scene. He would meet the Lakers’ demands for an All-Star player if they trade Bryant.
On the other hand, Bryant would find it hard to go from hanging at Teddy’s to kicking it with the douchebags at Lauriol Plaza. I just don’t see Kobe dropping $21,000 on jello shots at Millie and Al’s. However the upside for Vanessa Bryant would be the less rapetastic nature of the city. No worries about Kobe getting into trouble for that anymore.
The only fraud that was committed was me thinking that I knew what it was like… that I really understood what it was like to be married, and I really didn’t.
The assclown says not so fast my friend. The other fraud was fronting like you were a Tenneesee fan when you are really a Florida fan.
The only thing worse than being a loser is being a two time loser. We’re not ones to make fun of family strife … unless sports are involved. Kenny Chesney bought into the Renee Zellweger hype and lost. Instead of learning his lesson, he decided to double up and go all in on Tim Tebow. The Georgia Bulldogs would like to thank Chesney for his interest in the Florida Gators and wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors. The Tennessee Vols wish he was never born.
Such talk began in March after Chesney performed in Gainesville, Fla., the home of the University of Florida Gators, one of the University of Tennessee’s fiercest Southeastern Conference rivals. At a concert there, Gator football fans came up on stage and put their team’s helmet on Chesney’s head.
With the helmet firmly in place, Chesney continued to entertain the crowd, who loved the sight of seeing their favorite country music star wearing the symbol of their pride.
Local fan anger was raised again in September when Chesney attended this year’s Vols-Gator game in Gainesville, which the Vols lost, 59-20. There, he was spotted mingling with Florida supporters and seen posing for photographs with cheerleaders and the mascot for the Gators.
Chesney’s lifetime loyalty to the Vols is being questioned by Tenneesee fans who are furious about his fraternization with other SEC past and present greats like the ol’ ballcoach Steve Spurrier.
“He’s been to a lot of shows,” Chesney said. “So if anybody sees me and Steve down on the sidelines, me saying ‘hi’ (to him), don’t ask for my head on Monday morning on WIVK.”
At least he’s not rubbing shoulders with original Judas Nick Saban.
Joey Chestnut is on a mission this year, his mission is to bring all the competitive eating trophies back to the good ole US of A. In July, Chestnut won the Nathan’s Hot Dog eating contest, crushing his wounded opponent Takeru Kobayashi. On Sunday, Chestnut did it again. Joey Chestnut ate 103 sliders in 8 minutes at the Krystal Burgers Square Off, beating Kobayashi’s previous record of 97 set last year and pocketing a cool $10,000. Unfortunately, Kobayashi was unable to attend this year’s competition due to lingering pain in his jaw. Sucker.
Lets take a look at ALL of Chestnut’s gastronomical (ouch i know) records:
8.6 pounds Tempura Deep Fried Aspargus Spears in 10 min 7.5 lbs Buffalo Chicken Wings in 12 min 182 chicken wings in 30 min 47 grilled cheese sandwiches in 10 min 212 chicken and vegetable gyoza in 10 min 6 lbs, 5 oz horseshoe sandwiches in 12 min 66 Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs and Buns in 12 min 118 Jalapeno Poppers in 10 min 4.82 lbs Pizza Hut P’Zones in 6 min 8.4 pounds pork rib meat in 12 min 9 Pounds, 6 Ounces Smoked, Pulled Pork in 10 min 45 pulled pork sandwiches in 10 min 22.5 Waffle House Waffles (8 oz.) in 10 min
…and now this. Way to go Joey Chestnut. You are a true American hero. USA! USA! USA!
