Time to flip BCS upside down

So by now yuo've heard that the BCS crew did absolutely nothing and guaranteed we will not see a playoff. No big surprise, they are making too much money to mess around with the system.

Since fans will never stop watching and attending bowl games in a show of solidarity and support for a real playoff system, I have a new idea.

How about all seniors and underclassmen declaring for the draft refuse to play in bowl games. If they care about their sport and the integrity of the game they way I did when I played sports competitively, they would be happy to walk away from one game.

This only has to happen once to show the BCS the current system is unacceptable and they will change the process. Anyone already on their way out of school has nothing to lose.

The lack of a legitimate national champion is as big a problem for me as the unregulated use of steroids in professional sports. Both reduce sport to a less than honest endeavor and make it nothing but mere entertainment.

Is it good enough for a division 1A or professional athlete to be on the same level as a WWE wrestler? I say no, I hope they agree.

Baltimore cop roughs up child and deserves to be fired

Found a link to this article on skatedaily.net

there is a video on youtube showing a cop putting a 14 year old kid in a headlock, throwing him to the ground, and berating him.

This cop was suspended with pay! He deserves to be fired!

Go to the Baltimore PD website and send a complaint to the public affairs office. This cannot be tolerated. You know this guy has treated a lot of people like this because he thinks his badge gives him the right. I am so glad he finally got caught.

All Star voting as big a joke as anticipated

The NBA posted the first results from the All Star Ballots today and no big surprise, a lot of players getting votes dont deserve to be where they are.

Jerry Stackhouse beating out Baron Davis?

Dampier more votes than Biedrins? Damper misses 95% of the layups that Biedrins turns into dunks.

Get off your butts and vote, and tell all your friends to vote. Vote the players that deserve it, not the person who had the best poster 2 years ago, or the player who lives closest to you.

Skateboarding is doomed to retarded websites

Take a quick look at the link....there are 1300 skateboarding related domain names currently up for auction at godaddy.com

99% of them appear to be selected by jerks who are looking to get lucky and sell for a profit. This is nothing new, and it is certainly not unique to skateboarding, but it is depressing none the less because there are so many potential domain names that will never be used.

Our sport currently has very few good websites worth viewing and lags behind other sports with equal amounts of participants because corporations are not putting the same money into their online presence.

The cybersquatters are basically taking the most common terms people want to type in and holdign them hostage from our sport. The kid who wants to build an awesome website will build it with some crazy name no one will ever type in. The small business who wants to do the same may walk away from the idea because the domain name they want is taken or being held hostage for a ridiculous amount of money.

Maybe someone out there can tell me where capitalism and the nuturing of growing cultures can coexist in this world.

Thrasher posts Marc Johnson interview

I love the honesty and openmindedness skateboarders offer in interviews. You can almost never get that from athletes in other pro sports where image is everything so the kids in timbuktu keep buying your shoes.

Even if Marc was totally full of shit during this interview, a lot more intersting than anything Melo or Steve Nash would have said.

If you love basketball, you have to check out these pictures courtesy of NBA.com  

This guy has taken some great pictures over the years. Imagine being there for all these moments. He has not only watched the league become what it is today, he documented it from his own perspective. What an honor!
