TWO THUMBS UP, FOUR THUMBS DOWN TUESDAY!

Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing the little life’s pleasures that make me jump for joy and the terrible, awful things I want to spit on.

Two Things that earned my love:

1. This:

2.  Forest Park St. Patrick’s Day Parade:

Headed back home to the burbs Saturday for a little “tune-up game” before the Chicago St. Paddy's parade next Saturday.

Four things that earned my scorn:

1. Ray Allen Be Flopping:

I haven’t seen acting like that out of Allen since he played Jesus Shuttlesworth in He Got Game.  JJ Barea is 5’11, 175 pounds soaking wet to your 6’5, 215.  Barea’s right, you’re a pussy for that move.

2. Joe Flacco: 

Will Brinson @willbrinson

Joe Flacco on what he's going to do with all his new money: "Just gonna look at it I guess."

6:39 PM - 04 Mar 13

Waka Flocka Flacco is a lot of things, interesting is not one of them.

3. Hardcore Hockey Fans:  So Stephen A. Smith enraged Puck enthusiasits everywhere when he compared the Chicago Blackshawks 19-0-3 mark against the Miami Heat’s 14 game win-streak...

I mean were you really expecting solid Hockey insight from a network that has pretty much written off the sports since losing it’s TV deal with the NHL?  If so, were you really expecting that insight to come from Stephen A. Smith!?  You know he was just there to piss you off right?  Mission Accomplished.

4. Kobe Bryant: Black Mamba says he would have smacked Thunder Forward Serge Ibaka in the mouth had Ibaka Judo Chopped his groin the way he did Blake Griffin Sunday…

Really? Just like you handled Chris Childs back in the day, right Kobe?

Great player.  Not a tough guy though.  Now his wife on the other hand...
