To quote the quirky Woody Paige, "Why do I always have to straight you guys out?"
I forgive Rhys for he knows not what he does. I know where he's coming from. I was in his shoes long, long ago, in a time called 2003. A time before Boston won championships left and right. I know how it feels to support a loser team filled with lovable losers. It's cool. Cleveland is the new Boston circa 1918-2003. Emotions are high. Rhys has never known what it feels like to support a winning team. Give it time, Rhys. You'll get there. At least he never had a curse on his team. Always hold out for the Browns, right Rhys? All you need is hope. And change. It worked out for Obama. I don't see how it won't work out for "Believeland". That's all they have left, isn't it, belief.
Doucet trying to be all cool advertising and what not. Let me go a step further. Get at that new single, "Dizzy". Hottest track for summer '09. Hands down. http://www.zshare.net/audio/604371574b125d21/
And another thing. I'm above blog disrespect. I don't partake in such shenanigans. I'm more mature than that. I won't stoop down to their level. I won't fight back against Rhys. I've been through worse.
I'm not even going to respond to Gabbie. Even though she didn't make a post that was relevant or made sense, it was still cute. Especially her little crush on Zac Effron.

Screw You Juan
It's Doucet.
I have no current beef with you, but I feel like blog disrespect is what's hot on the streets... the E-streets. Na'mean young? Earl.
Last night, LeBroom showed me that he had a little bit of talent in the 4th. Of course, he's no Dirk or Kobe but he did show a wee bit o' promise. If only his team didn't suck balls in the playoffs, ha-ha to you.
I personally enjoyed how Dwight Howard went Juggernaut in OT and demolished the puny defenders of Cleveland.
Other than that, screw the Nuggets.

Fuck you Juan
Alright, Juan. You have awakened the sleeping bear. This is Rhys, dammit. I will apologize later for this but I'm in a tense mood under the certain circumstances.
So I stayed up into the depths of night to watch my beloved Cavs instill hope throughout the whole game. Throughout LeBron's free throws, throughout Dwight Howard's mild domination as he fouled every big close to him but the refs neglected to call his 6th foul. I even had hope when LeBron hit the fadeaway 3 as Orlando systematically hit free throws in overtime. I even thought the last chance shot with 3 seconds left was going in. I couldn't sleep afterwards because of dissappointment and anger.
Now to Juan. I usually brush off your petty Cleveland biased remarks coming from a moderately blind Boston fan. But hey, it was just a simple request for equal representation for Reggie, Gabbie, and myself. You didn't have to throw that LeBron in a Knicks or Jets jersey. That crossed the line my friend. Hey at least KG got some bonding time with Tom Brady being injured. I really wish Boston beat Orlando, so then last night would have marked a Cleveland sweep. But I digress.
All I can hope for is for Cleveland to take care of business at home, and Howard pick up another technical so he is out when the series goes back to Orlando. Then Cavs win 7 at home again.
And readers enjoy!

YO GUEST WRITER UP IN THIS JOINT!
hello all you readers out there! im not completely convinced that there are actually any of you.. but juanton told me that his page has over 300 hits, so i guess i should believe him for now.
anywho, so im gabbie. i am the 4th (and COOLEST) member of the sports corna', and the only female member i might add. and i have fought to be accepted by my male comrades, even earning provisional manmenship!
enough about me. lets talk about peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. man... those are the shit. do you like crunchy or smooth peanut butter? personally, i like smooth because its much easier to spread on the bread. i usually go for extra jelly because too much peanut butter dries out the sandwich and makes it stick to the roof of your mouth. and with a tall glass of milk... DELICIOUS! the all american sandwich.
now before i wrap this up i have to mention my hubby, zac efron. when i cuddle up under the fuzzy blanket that has his face printed on it, brush my teeth with the toothbrush that displays his figure, or write in my 3 zac notebooks, i just feel so content. one day he will kick that skeez vanessa hudgens to the curb and i will move in on my territory. until then, i guess i will just have to settle for writing in this blog.
UPDATE: juanton pacheco is a dirty rotten liar and this has only received 203 hits.... most of which were probably from him refreshing the page

I'm Back Like Blink-182
I'm holding off the steroids post for a later time. I'm still working on it. In the mean while, let me bring up one of the better bands in the past decade: blink-182. Probably the main reason why I'm holding off on the steroids post is because blink-182 is pretty much the only thing I have going for me currently. The release of their tour dates is seriously the only think keeping me sane right now. By the way, blink-182 serves as great release therapy whenever you're feeling down, especially songs off Take Your Pants Off And Jacket. Well actually every blink-182 album offers good release therapy, but that's besides the point. This really isn't the time nor place to express bitterness. It's like I'm turning into Doucet when it comes to being bitter. I guess it's not that bad.
Back to blink-182. From a talent standpoint, the facts are the facts, they kinda suck. They're so way they will ever be on the level of Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, or any of the other greats in the rock world. But still, they're easily one of my favorite bands.
Why?
They speak the truth. Although simplistic, many of their songs hit home. When you're feeling blue and in the dumps, they have songs for that: Don't Tell Me That It's Over, Dammit, Adam's Song. Those songs speak to me whenever I feel like shit. In all honestly, it's easier to relate to this kind of stuff than a stairway to heaven. When you need a few laughs, they certainly have that covered: What's My Age Again?, Family Reunion, and the always awesome Blew Job. They have songs that will leave your sides aching from laughing so hard.
I grew up on blink-182. They're the first band I got into. They're were a mainstay in my young life. The trio of Mark, Tom, and Travis will always be a part of my life. I can see myself 80 years old in a wheelchair still rocking out to Peggie Sue and Anthem, Pt. 2.
Despite the hardships of life and the way life twists and turns around your high expectations, music will always be there. Blink-182 will always be there, even if they were to break up again. Summer 2009 is quickly approaching and you can certainly expect to see me at a few concerts during the upcoming rising temperature of the summer. Many things in life haven't shaped up in ways that I've planned or expected, but Summer 2009 with blink-182 is the exception. I plan and expect for this tour to be the best time of my life, hands down. Of all the things that I've lived and experienced so far, blink-182 reunited and going on tour tops every single one of them by far.
And for your listening pleasure, the return of blink-182. By the way, this song is really hitting home. Well, I guess this is growing up.

Lots of Plugs, Lots Of Music
It's good to see that Brett Favre reads my blog. How do I know this? He followed my advice. As of right now, I resend my statement that inferred Brett Favre is childish. In this moment in time, I believe Brett Favre when he said that he is staying retired. At this very second, I feel Brett Favre is the best quarterback ever. For today, Brett Favre is retired.
On to what really matters right now: new subject matter. New material has been few and far between lately. I've been really struggling to create a blog based around some current shenanigans. The entertainment world has been slacking the past few weeks. Is this a good thing? For once it's not. In a time where I was hoping that Miley Cyrus might get pregnant or Lindsay Lohan would get charged with possession of a mountain of cocaine, Kiefer Sutherland is charged for headbutting. Really? Is this the best that I can do with right now? I really need to start watching The Soup again. This is pathetic. The best I can do right now is something with Miss California. Yeah...about that...
How about music?
I was talking to Randall. Before I go any further, I told him that I was going to plug his candidacy for Prom King, and here it goes: Vote Randall for Prom King! This dude is a genuinely great dude. He has an amazing sense of humor and word on the street is that he is a wizard on the dance floor. Randall deserves to be Prom King and will destroy the competition. Since apparently Tha Sports Corna isn't on the same level yet as 38pitches.com or blogmaverick.com, I can still do this sort of plug. But yea, back to music. I was talking to Randall when he brought up a great point: Top 40 music sucks.
I looked at the top songs on iTunes. More specifically, I concentrated on the top 40. I know it's not the same as the official Top 40 but it's more up to date. Don't get me wrong, pop music is cool. I understand that such music is created and targets to appeal to as many people as possible. What I don't understand is how people's taste in music sucks. Why do people still listen to Soulja Boy? The dude has 2 songs in iTunes top 20 songs!?!? The dude has no flow. I just can't wrap my head around how Soulja Boy is ahead of better talented rappers such as T.I. or Biz Markie. Soulja Boy can't tell a story like Biz Markie can.
At first glance it might look that Green Day might be a nice change in pace with the Top 40. Wrong. Green Day has released some nice stuff in the past but their newest single "Know Your Enemy" is so overplayed in the sports world. I swear, I can't watch any sporting event without hearing "Know Your Enemy" as a transition from game to commercial, or vice-versa. The thing that annoys me the most is that the song sounds eerily similar to another Green Day song "Jesus of Suburbia" with a poppy mix fused into it. That's just wrong. Green Day reminds me of Brett Favre.
I feel that music today has hit a small lull, kind of like a weak draft class in the NFL, NBA, etc. With music recently, there isn't a particular song or artist that I can see being remember in the long term for their great ability, talent, and superstardom. That's how I judge a draft class, by the legacy the people in that draft class leave. You look at the 2009 NFL Draft Class, and overall, it is nothing special. You look at the 1974 Pittsburgh Steelers Draft Class. Legendary. Hall of Famers left and right drafted that year. I haven't seen a large amount of "Hall of Fame" songs or artists lately.
But it's always nice to have a few guilty pleasure songs.
I feel the need to have at top 5 right now. Something about music.
Send some ideas for a top 5 in a future post. I'm trying to get the readers more involved. Questions and email, like a mailbag of some sorts would also work. I'm still messing around with the blog, seeing what works, what doesn't work. Let's add more of a personal touch to the list of random topics to hit and discuss, eventually. Not like anyone would care about what goes on.
Final shots.

- Celtics v. Magic. Game 3. Prediction: Celtics in a close one. Win by 5, if that.
- Some how I'll bring myself to catch some Red Sox vs. Rays series. Rematch of the 2008 ALCS. Which reminds me, I need to do a steroids post. Why is it only baseball getting caught? I'll discuss that.
- I'm in a mood for promotion. Look out for an up and coming blog: Da Info Line. By the way: Adi, you owe me for this. The well established Step Ya Blog Game Up is always a good read.
- I'd add a personal touch for the end. Exactly one week to prom. It's going to be vicious. I'm so pumped! All white tux = official. A great date doesn't hurt either =]

Myself
When I say something is happening, I deliver. I bring to you 1/3 of "Tha Sports Corna": Rhys. Give it up for his blog debut.
I am Rhys. Most of the time, I am awake, the rest of the time, I am asleep.
I am mildly offended by the lack of representation of Doucet's and mine fanhood/paraphanelia. I don't know how to spell paraphanalia.
But ya, let me break down my city: LeBron. Not only does he lead our basketball team to supremacy, he gives hope to football team. But with ManKok we already have hope.
But anyways, random shit.
This is actually myself.

Back In Purple?
Time to start off, with an apology. So there has been some backlash concerning our guest writer a few posts back. It is difficult to fathom the hate I've been getting. And it wasn't even about Reggie, it was about how I apparently bashed him. The people actually responded positively to him. People felt I might have been a bit too harsh with some of my comments and I listened. My comments regarding Dirk Nowitzki were unnecessary and uncalled for. Saying that Doucet raps better than he writes was just wrong of me. His rapping and writing is on the same level. Those "Editor's Notes" throughout the post were...Who am I kidding? Those were funny. Did I go over the line? Possibly. But you have to admit, it incites a few chuckles in people. I'm pretty sure I covered all the bases with that.
It's safe to say that the whole "Summer of Favre" soap opera annoyed the crap out of America last year. Well apparently someone signed Brett Favre to do a sequel of the "Summer of Favre". We're doomed to relive this whole thing again. It's not so bad this year. The sequel of "Summer of Favre" is one of the few exceptions where the sequel is better than the original, like Spider-Man 2. This year there's the revenge factor. (Insert evil revenge music here.)
Seriously, Brett Favre must have a serious vendetta against Green Bay. You would think that a Super Bowl Champion would have tougher skin than this. Brett, come one, you left the Packers out to dry last year. You more than anyone should know that the quarterback position is the most vital position in sports, let alone football. Winners in the National Football League have stability under center. Without a quarterback, you're going nowhere. Look at San Francisco. Alex Smith wasn't the answer and it set back the franchise a few years. Right across the Bay in Oakland, they haven't had a decent soul leading the offense since Rich Gannon. The Raiders can only hope to become a .500 team by 2020 at this point. Then you have your Steelers. Big Ben might not be the most prolific quarterback out there. He's nowhere from being the smartest guy out there. He's certainly not flashy, but he gets the job done. You can count on him. 2 rings. Brett, understand that the NFL is a business. If you weren't going to be reliable to the organization and surround the team with question marks, there was no point to keep you around. And plus, it was about time they put Rodgers in. The world saw that he could play.
And the whole revenge factor. Not to say that it's going to make the Brett Favre sage interest, because it is, but it is also childish. Let things go. The NFC North is full of childish quarterbacks: Jay Cutler acted as childish as Brett did before being traded to Chicago, Matt Stafford is a rookie, making him a child in NFL years, and Sage Rosenfels has the quarterbacking ability of a young child. Well, at least Brett would fit right in back in the NFC North.
This is a way to end the post for today. Is it bad that I can't stop watching this? Rick Ankiel goes hard. At least he didn't suffer any serious injury.

God Hates Boston
So, there's a lot to get to, and little time. Let's get it started with the lead off topic for today.
Guest writers.
Because of Doucet, I have had countless hits on the blog. And by countless I mean somewhere between 20-30. And by Doucet I mean myself because I gave the dude a chance. Through my math, I have singlehandedly increased the traffic to the blog by 33%. Great progress, if I do say so myself.
Really. I'm glad that people are attracted to such a great gimmick as guest writers. Like I said before, we'll get some guest writers from time to time. We'll see where this takes us.
Celtics.
I'm not one to brag but I did see this coming. The Bulls are a good team, don't get me wrong. They have most of the parts of becoming a yearly playoff team. They have a talented point guard in Rose. I saw the guy in a few games last year, and he cleared showcased his talent then, and he did it now. I wouldn't say that Rose carried the Bulls throughout this series but there's no way the Bulls would have made it past 4 games without him. As far as the others on the roster go, Gordan was always underrated. By default, he's exceeding expectations. He's still a talented player. I still feel he can step up to the next level.
This one is to Joakim Noah. You are soft. Don't try and act tough by fouling Rondo. I understand you might have felt the need to retaliate and I'm cool with that. Don't try and act hard though. You are not clutch. You have been overrated since your days at Florida. You don't have the leadership intangibles to be a successful big man.
And now to Round 2. I'm holding out hope for a Round 2 upset of the Magic. Yeah, if the Celtics win, it's an upset. I'm flipping between Caps/Pens and Magic/Celtics, and the Celtics are playing surprisingly sluggish. They are wasting too much energy keeping up with the Magic's shooting game. It's just not going to happen. As paradoxical as it sounds, the Green would have a better chance of pounding the Magic in the paint; they would conserve more energy doing this. Even if they never went to a single overtime against the Bulls, playing 7 games just takes such a toil on the human body. And the Celtics just have something about them that most teams don't. They put the most effort into minute of every game.
It's nearing towards the end of the 3rd quarter. 74-55, Magic. This is what happens when you try to complete in a shoot-off against the Magic. Advantage Magic. No doubt about it. I'm actually surprised that it is this close. It doesn't help that the TNT commentators are trying to give me false hope.
Hockey.
I can never say that I am a huge hockey fanatic. I probably won't ever be one. I've always had great respect for the game, regardless. The Caps/Pens rivalry, well okay, the Ovechkin, Crosby rivalry is helping me get deeper into the game. These past two games between Washington and Pittsburgh have been excellent, a treat to watch. The play by these two teams have been out of this world. And the save by Varlamov! I have no words to describe that.
And the Celtics are still giving me false hope. 82-73 Magic, 8:25 left. Keep in mind that Stan Van Gundy is the coach for the Magic. This would explain the semi-collapse. When you put it that way...the Celtics have a slight chance to beat Van Gundy. Who am I kidding? Magic 1-0. No doubt.
Back to hockey.
This may sound blasphemous but Ovechkin/Crosby is the second coming of Bird/Magic. On a side note, I've heard people call it Bird/Magic and Magic/Bird but I've never heard anyone mention Crosby/Ovechkin, only Ovechkin/Crosby. They are both skilled players, and from an outsider's perspective, respect both of them. I give Ovechkin the edge. He's a better shooter, and more charismatic. Crosby reminds me of A-Fraud. Not the cheating, just the personality. Crosby polarizes people more than Ovechkin. Plus, I feel Alex the Great is a better nickname than Sid the Kid. I call him Ovie though. It sounds cool.
The Celtics are down 6? Why must they toy with me. Too good to be true.
Down 4 with 1:43 and counting!?!? Is there a specific reason why God likes to mess with Boston, not the Celtics, just Boston in general.
The flu.
Swine flu is a farce. People need to stop freaking out. I understand the viruses are scary. But the media just needs to chill the hell down. Not that big of a deal, but a great source of jokes. I mean, I was running out of Britney Spears material. In all honestly, calm down. Even if the Swine Flu lived up to the hype, think about it in a good way: there would be a better chance of Bin Laden dying, if he isn't already dead. The only bigger bust out there than the swine flu is Ryan Leaf. Yeah, that Ryan Leaf.
God hates Boston and I hate JJ Redick. Okay, not true, he's too bad of a basketball player for me to hate him.
Did I just hear Dwight Howard say he came up with his wrestling name: Black Magic? I'm stopping hear. No way to top that.
Guest writers.
Because of Doucet, I have had countless hits on the blog. And by countless I mean somewhere between 20-30. And by Doucet I mean myself because I gave the dude a chance. Through my math, I have singlehandedly increased the traffic to the blog by 33%. Great progress, if I do say so myself.
Really. I'm glad that people are attracted to such a great gimmick as guest writers. Like I said before, we'll get some guest writers from time to time. We'll see where this takes us.
Celtics.
I'm not one to brag but I did see this coming. The Bulls are a good team, don't get me wrong. They have most of the parts of becoming a yearly playoff team. They have a talented point guard in Rose. I saw the guy in a few games last year, and he cleared showcased his talent then, and he did it now. I wouldn't say that Rose carried the Bulls throughout this series but there's no way the Bulls would have made it past 4 games without him. As far as the others on the roster go, Gordan was always underrated. By default, he's exceeding expectations. He's still a talented player. I still feel he can step up to the next level.
This one is to Joakim Noah. You are soft. Don't try and act tough by fouling Rondo. I understand you might have felt the need to retaliate and I'm cool with that. Don't try and act hard though. You are not clutch. You have been overrated since your days at Florida. You don't have the leadership intangibles to be a successful big man.
And now to Round 2. I'm holding out hope for a Round 2 upset of the Magic. Yeah, if the Celtics win, it's an upset. I'm flipping between Caps/Pens and Magic/Celtics, and the Celtics are playing surprisingly sluggish. They are wasting too much energy keeping up with the Magic's shooting game. It's just not going to happen. As paradoxical as it sounds, the Green would have a better chance of pounding the Magic in the paint; they would conserve more energy doing this. Even if they never went to a single overtime against the Bulls, playing 7 games just takes such a toil on the human body. And the Celtics just have something about them that most teams don't. They put the most effort into minute of every game.
It's nearing towards the end of the 3rd quarter. 74-55, Magic. This is what happens when you try to complete in a shoot-off against the Magic. Advantage Magic. No doubt about it. I'm actually surprised that it is this close. It doesn't help that the TNT commentators are trying to give me false hope.
Hockey.
I can never say that I am a huge hockey fanatic. I probably won't ever be one. I've always had great respect for the game, regardless. The Caps/Pens rivalry, well okay, the Ovechkin, Crosby rivalry is helping me get deeper into the game. These past two games between Washington and Pittsburgh have been excellent, a treat to watch. The play by these two teams have been out of this world. And the save by Varlamov! I have no words to describe that.
And the Celtics are still giving me false hope. 82-73 Magic, 8:25 left. Keep in mind that Stan Van Gundy is the coach for the Magic. This would explain the semi-collapse. When you put it that way...the Celtics have a slight chance to beat Van Gundy. Who am I kidding? Magic 1-0. No doubt.
Back to hockey.
This may sound blasphemous but Ovechkin/Crosby is the second coming of Bird/Magic. On a side note, I've heard people call it Bird/Magic and Magic/Bird but I've never heard anyone mention Crosby/Ovechkin, only Ovechkin/Crosby. They are both skilled players, and from an outsider's perspective, respect both of them. I give Ovechkin the edge. He's a better shooter, and more charismatic. Crosby reminds me of A-Fraud. Not the cheating, just the personality. Crosby polarizes people more than Ovechkin. Plus, I feel Alex the Great is a better nickname than Sid the Kid. I call him Ovie though. It sounds cool.
The Celtics are down 6? Why must they toy with me. Too good to be true.
Down 4 with 1:43 and counting!?!? Is there a specific reason why God likes to mess with Boston, not the Celtics, just Boston in general.
The flu.
Swine flu is a farce. People need to stop freaking out. I understand the viruses are scary. But the media just needs to chill the hell down. Not that big of a deal, but a great source of jokes. I mean, I was running out of Britney Spears material. In all honestly, calm down. Even if the Swine Flu lived up to the hype, think about it in a good way: there would be a better chance of Bin Laden dying, if he isn't already dead. The only bigger bust out there than the swine flu is Ryan Leaf. Yeah, that Ryan Leaf.

Famous First Words
For those who don't know, the concept of "Tha Sports Corna" it was created by yours truly along with two other guys: Reggie Doucet and Rhys Tucker. Since I didn't tell them right off the bat about using "Tha Sports Corna" name for the blog, I kind of owe it to them to guest post on the blog. It's not like they had a choice anyway. Who else but the internet would want to listen to these two talk about the Mavs and the Cavs. Both these fools are always bitter about their sports lives.
Seriously though, both of these guys are genuinely good people. They know what they're talking about. Look out for the occasional guest post from Doucet and Rhys.
And with the first guest post in "Sports Corna" history, allow me to introduce you to a guy who needs no introduction. The man, the myth, the legend:Doucet . Rhys has his hands tied at the moment and I don't want Doucet thinking I'm a racist. We'll try to get Rhys in by the next post, hopefully.
With no further delay...what I'm I thinking? I need to say a few words before handing it off.
So,
Hello, America.. and rest of the internets. My name is Reggie, but you can call me Doucet (Dew-Set). I'd say I'm a pretty avid sports fan these days so from time to time, I'll guest post in order to put a lil 'flava' into this blog. (Editor's Note: This blog puts a lil 'flava' into Doucet).
Back to the title, fuck the celts' and the bulls. (Editor's Note: No homo).
This series makes me want to throw up more than... Iunno... watching someone else throw up.
I hate it. Two suck-ass teams suckin ass on the court for a whole game sucks to watch, but when they come to multiple overtimes in these suck-ass games... I feel like renouncing the sport as a whole.
One overtime, ok, sure... good game. But when a series has 3+, clearly there's some suck-assedness going around.
No shutouts like in a regular series, nope.
I put money stating that whoever makes it past this series get raped in the next round. (Editor's Note: Similar to what Dwyane Wade did to Dallas in the 2006 NBA Finals).
That is all.

- I want to say the Joakim Noah is a punk. He got lucky. He's soft.
- Chicago isn't clutch. They're a young team. All of the overtimes in the world won't prepare them for Game 7. Game 7 is always a different animal to conquer. It's like none other in the sporting world. The only thing that can give you the slight edge in Game 7 is experience. Advantage Celtics. Other than that, you never know what will happen.
- Dirk Nowitzki is soft. Even more soft than Joakim Noah. At least Noah knows how to win.
- Matt Ryan>Pat White
