FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-GOTTA MAKE THE NBA!!!


All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY.

MONDAY

-Did you have a good Memorial Day weekend?  Doesn't matter because notorious beer goblin Rob Gronkowski had a better one...
The summer of Gronk is just getting started.

-I love tic-tac-toe.  If there was a better way to kill time and annoy your younger sibling on road trips as a kid, I don't want to know it.   

Meet Blake and Reed, these guys are really not good at tic-tac toe...
Somewhere out there, David Blatt is wondering how these fuckboys got ahold of his playbook.

TUESDAY

-Colin Kaepernick's hashtag of choice is #7tormscoming which is uncreative and stupid as fuck.  Today thought it wold be cute to use it in reference to the flash floods turning Houston into an aquarium. 
Way to be an insensitive prick.  Besides, he's already doing $126 Million Dollars worth of damage to the Bay Area already just by suiting up.

-The Cavs finished off the carcass that was the Atlanta Hawks and LeBron took to the cold tub with the squad to celebrate!
Hold the fuck on there Kendrick Perkins...
Only played five minutes so why the ice bags??????  This why teammates in previous stops don't invite you anywhere weirdo.

WEDNESDAY

-BRUH...
Yeah...someone at FIFA is going to fucking jail for this shit.  It really may be time to seriously consider boycotting World Cup.

- "WE TAKE WHAT WE WANT AND AFTER WE TAKE LEX LUGER AND THE GIANT, WE WANT THE GOLD SUCKA!  HULK HOGAN, WE COMIN' FOR YOU NIGGA!"

THURSDAY

-Jerry Jones out here still living man...despite the whole marriage and large family thing of course.
If good teams like the Cowboys would just nut up, this could all be on Hard Knocks but noooooo...instead I gotta watch JJ Watt buy charities and his mom shit.

But fuck all that shit right now...
The worst kept secret in the NBA was revealed Thursday as the Chicago Bulls fired head coach Tom Thibodeau.  You're Facebook feed and Twitter lines are probably over saturated with hot takes and support/disdain for Thibs so I'm going to hit you with five quick facts about Tommy Thibs and the Chicago Bulls.

1.  THIBS IS NBA LOVIE SMITH:  The man is a brilliant defensive taskmaster but his arrogance in regards to his coaching staff and offensive strategy (or lack of) really fucked him during his time in Chicago.  Thibodeau's offensive sets pretty much consist of Derrick Rose or Jimmy Butler resorting to panic hero ball as the shot clock winds down.

2.  HE HELPED JIMMY BUTLER BY DEFAULT:  Thibodeau wants to win BAD.  Whether it's an NBA championship, a playoff game or a Tuesday night contest in Charlotte.  The downside to the last part is that he'll run his trusted players into the ground, giving no room for development of young players.  Unless of course, said reliable vets go down with injury.  Make no mistake about it, Jimmy Butler may still be on the bench if Luol Deng hadn't of died then traded away in 2014.

3.  JOHN PAXSON IS AN ASSHOLE TOO:  Let me ask you a question:  After Butler and Derrick Rose, who's the last athletic wing player the Bulls signed or drafted?  Paxton loves players from winning programs but sometimes you need that crazy asshole who's not afraid to just drive the baseline and put his nuts on somebody's head.

4.  JERRY REINSDORF IS PETTY:  Seriously, I get if you don't want him in your organization anymore but they slandered the fuck out of the man on his way out.

5. IT'S STILL A PLAYER'S LEAGUE:  Coaching helps, but talent trumps all and it's no more apparent than this year's Finals.  David Blatt or Steve Kerr really strike you as brilliant coaching minds?

-Someone allowed to Adrian Peterson to tweet without supervision today and the results were what you'd expect:











I'm pretty sure a lot more people would be feeling AP if he wasn't scheduled to make $12 million plus this season.  Adrian...

FRIDAY

-The Panda's Friends aka Metta World Peace aka Ron Artest is still out here WYLIN...picking up FIVE fouls in one minute during an Italian league playoff game.
Never stop being crazy Panda World Artest.


WEEKEND WATCH!
What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or something better...

SEE SAN ANDREAS!

The Rock has taken on Jungles, Jason Statham, Drug Dealers, Volcanos and Stone Cold Steve Austin but is he ready for an Earthquake?  I guess?

WATCH HOCKEY!

A pair of Game 7s in both the Eastern and Western conference finals.  Don't have a heart attack.

GO TO A WEDDING!
It's the season for cake, booze, awful dancing and love!

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!
Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-Out to the Bartender of Comedy Renaldo Rey!
R.I.P.

It's Friday, do the whip and have a drink.  Where's Lips Manlis?

PRO ATHLETES AND SEX, RANKED!

It's good to be Bryce Harper right now.

The star 22 year-old outfielder for the Nationals (and destroyer of fastballs) has been on a tear so far this season, batting .338 with 14 home runs and 37 RBIs.

Kid is shining!  So naturally, the question was going to be posed sooner or later and this past Sunday, one of my homeboys put it out there...

"How much sex do you think that guy has in a typical week?"

More than Cristiano Ronaldo?  Russ Wilson?  Patrick Kane?  Clayton Kershaw?

Does a player's position in the big five (Football, Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, Hockey) have a role in how much they get laid?

Of course it does!

So after much debate, here's a ranking of who can just stroll into the bar and have their choice of postgame nookie and who's stuck low-key hitting up Tinder like Jets Tackle Breno Giacomini.

1. Quarterback

2. Starting Pitcher

3. Centre (Soccer)

4. Wide Receiver

5. Centre (Hockey)

6. First Baseman/Designated Hitter

7. Running Back

8. Shortstop

9. Point Guard

10. Striker/Winger (Soccer)

11. Wing (Hockey)

12. Shooting Guard

13. Outfielders

14. Goalie (Soccer)

15. Tight End

16.  Small Forward

17. Third Baseman

18. Linebackers

19. Second Baseman

20. Center (Basketball)

FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY-HOW MANY TIMES!


All the stories you know, and ones you don’t, but should. Welcome to FULL CIRCLE FRIDAY.

MONDAY

-On on hand, this is the dumbest fucking controversy I've ever seen in the world of the sports.

on the other, look at this dude....
Yeah, sit down little bitch.  You play in a division with the Dolphins, Bills and Jets...Patriots will be fine.

Besides, we all know Bellichick will find find a way to make Jimmy Garroppolo (GuapPOLO?) look like the second coming then trade him for that 1st and 4th rounder he lost in the first place.


-Part of Wrigley Field's iconic bleachers reopened Monday night following construction and the type of people that populate them wasted no time getting back to form...
What an asshat.

TUESDAY

- Guys, If you've yet to meet Warriors sideline reporter Roslyn Gold-Onwude, it's too late...
Harrison "Black Falcon" Barnes already has his eyes on her.  The look says it all...how many Jagged Edge songs are going through his head right now?

That's a man ready to risk it all for love; take her out, pay her bills, give her the ring, the money, the car, the house, ALL OF IT!

-Adrian Beltre hit his 399th dinger.  Adrian Beltre hates when people touch his head.  So what does best friend Elvis Andrus do to celebrate with his bro?

I get the same way when people touch my shoulders, naturally, a couple of my friends think it's hilarious...until the day I kill them.

WEDNESDAY

-Alexander Ovechkin guaranteed a game 7 Capitals victory over the Rangers.  Well about that...

Poor Ovie, you're the most underachieving league MVP I've ever seen.  Do svidanya until next season my dude.

-When you're trying to d-up in a playoff game but then you hear the words "Cash Money records taking over for the 99 and 2000's"
Harrison Barnes really is having a rough week.  First he gets caught in Sahara thirst-mode, then Courtney Lee crosses him so bad, he ends up like Jean-Claude Van Damme in Bloodsport...

THURSDAY

-Hey Pittsburgh Penguins!
You just got your asses kicked by a bunch of goddamn nerds.  NERDS!!!!  STAY IN YOUR LANE!!!!

But fuck all that shit right now...fuck it all!
I didn't believe in the 2014-2015 Bulls.  I spent all season doubting them.  Too inconsistent offensively and surprisingly soft defensively for a Tom Thibodeau coached team.

 I told myself Cleveland has LeBron and that dude is on another level compared to anyone on Chicago's roster.

I was ridiculed for this thinking.  I was scolded for not being a "true fan" and that I NEVER give Chicago teams any credit.

I was told the Bulls are a TEAM with great depth and LeBron can't guard everyone.  I was told that 34 year-old Pau Gasol would be a difference maker come playoffs.  I was told to just wait until Derrick Rose gets to the playoffs...I didn't buy any of it.

Then a shitty but opportunistic event occurred...
All of a sudden, optimism!

Best team win of the season in game 1, Derrick Rose's biggest moment since 2010 in game 3 and the Bulls had a chance!  

The Red, White and Black Kool-Aid was once against presented in front of me and the situation was too tempting not to grab a glass...or two...or three!

Then reality kicked in and the best player on the planet showed exactly why he is every bit deserving of that title in Games 4 and 5.

Meanwhile, the Bulls reverted back to exactly what they've always been over the course of Thibodeau's tenure in Chicago: a regular season team.

Derrick Rose and Jimmy Butler are not enough to win a championship.  Mike Dunleavy is a streak shooter.  Aaron Brooks is turnover prone.  Kirk Hinrich is dead.  Taj Gibson was out of control and Joakim Noah is an embarrassment.  

Even Niko Mitotic, who I championed for more minutes showed exactly why Thibs kept him buried on the bench to start the series.

Throughout this series, people have compared the Bulls to the 90's Knicks, Cavs or Pacers....well I got news for you, the Bulls aren't any of those teams and the idea of them being on the same level of any is disrespectful.

Those were good, potentially great-ass Basketball teams who never won it all because the best player of all time imposed his will and  decided he wouldn't let them take HIS shine.

Team I saw last night in game 6 quit on their coach at halftime!

LeBron James has now wiped the Bulls out four times and was so relaxed about it, he let JR Smith and Matthew fucking Dellavedova get in on the gangbang!  That was humiliating!

There is a talent gap on the Chicago Bulls.  I know it.  Gar Foreman and John Paxson know it.  Thibodeau (too little, too late) knows it and now the fans must finally admit it as well.  I hated what I watched last night.  I've never been more disappointed by a team.

Funny, I thought NBA hell would be a lot warmer than this.

-Speaking of getting your ass kicked...

Soccer fans are the Florida residents of Sports.

FRIDAY

-At least one Bull won yesterday....

WEEKEND WATCH!
What you should be doing this weekend if you know, you’re not drunk or something better...

SEE MAD MAX: FURY ROAD!

Original Mad Max director George Miller rebooted his post-apocalyptic masterpiece and it could be the surprise hit of the summer.

SEE PITCH PERFECT 2!

The first was well-written and funny.  Let's see how they fuck it up!

WATCH THE NHL CONFERENCE FINALS!
Rangers-Lightening.  Blackhawks-Ducks.  Oh it's about to be lit!

FRIDAY SHOUT-OUT!
Recognizing whomever the hell I want!

Shout-Out to the Philadelphia 76ers!
Philly was hot-garbage this season but their design team gets kudos for their new alternate logo.  Ballin' Ben Franklin looks like he'll turn your ankles into pretzels, hit a buzzer-beating 16-footer, then steal your girl when he's done!


I'm out to spread some more Bulls hate.  "You Devil Log!"
