Frat is gone!!!!

Ding dong the witch is dead!!!!

Here's Jerry's press conference about the firing. I am very glad the Grizz have Jerry at the helm.

The JOW goes to Frat one last time because he refused to play Rudy the other night when I was yelling at him to put him in.

Going through some stuff with the blog that I hope will make it better, but is cutting back on my time to put out content. I promise there will be some new stuff soon.

Fire Fratello Now?

Davis bid is done!!!

Let Jerry do what Jerry can do, Mike.

Grizz win!! Grizz win!!!/ The joy of sausage balls.

Grizz win their sixth game of the year!!! Let Rudy play!!!

Ok, moving on.... Something is really getting on my nerves this afternoon. People keep sending candy to the office as some sort of gift or peace offering or something. Here's what I don't get...

Where the hell are my sausage balls!?!?!?!

Look, I can get candy anytime of the year, but for some reason sausage balls are only acceptable during the Festivus Season. I don't know why and I'm trying to get to the bottom of it, but until then, I WANT SOME DAMN SAUSAGE BALLS!!! It's clearly some of the best damn food God ever invented. Why the hell are people holding out?

I'm out. Go Grizz.

I'm heading to the airport for the annual Grizz road trip. Look for EvilBro, EvilSis, and me at the game Saturday. We'll be the ones cheering for the Grizz, no matter how bad they suck.

I'm giving the Jerkass of the Week to Brian Davis, Mike Heisley and Mike Fratello this week. One for acting like he has $50 million and can buy a NBA team when he can't. One for asking way too much for the team and tying Jerry West's hand so he can't go after A.I. and can't fire the idiot coach. And the last one for not getting the ball to Rudy in positions where he can succeed, not playing Alexander Johnson, not playing at a faster pace, and generally being an all around jerkass.

That is all. Go Grizz!!! Go model Christmas Parties!!! Go get drunk!!!

Iverson.

I decided to give my take on the Iverson situation. It's simple I want him and we can't get him. We can't get him because we have a terrible ownership situation where the current owner seems to believe that the current buyer is going to get approved by the NBA although it is apparent to everyone the buyer can't come up with the money. This is costing the Grizzlies Allen Iverson and a chance to be a relevant team in the NBA.

I talked with JPinto about this the other day and he got all upset and said "You want to trade Pau?" Well, no I don't, and that is what is so great. We don't have to. If we would trade Eddie Jones, Hakim Warrick, and a top five protected pick I'd bet we'd have Iverson here tomorrow. But we can't because there isn't an owner that can sign off on paying the guy twenty million dollars over the next two years. I'd trade anyone not named Gasol, Gay or Lowry for him.

I know you folks think this is weird, but his is actually upsetting me.

Why you ask? Well, because I went to the Grizz game on Saturday and there were maybe 14,000 folks there. I'm going tonight and there will be less. How many folks do you think would be there if Allen Iverson was playing everynight? How many jerseys would he sell?

Then the question comes up of whether or not he would help us win. First of all, if we don't fix the attendance problem it won't matter if we win, because we'll be winning somewhere else. Second of all, it is almost impossible for him not to help us win. We need someone who can score. He is the leading scorer in the league. Of course he'd help. He wouldn't make us a contender, but he'd help.

In synopsis... get 'er done.

Competitive JOW.

It was a wild week for Jerkasses this week...
You first have to look at jerkass coach John Calapari. This jerkass says he doesn't want to play Tennessee anymore. Well, I see why. National program my ass. (Note to EvilBlog readers: I will return to rooting for the Tigers next week, this week I am still gloating.)

Next we have the University of Alabama. Here's the thing, a few years ago you got stuck with Mike Shula because you couldn't find a better guy. This year you fire Mike Shula and you end up with...?????????? I have no idea. Get a clue. No one wants to coach you.

Next we have the Ws. These guys are jerkasses anyway, but this week they got exposed as a joke. Turns out why they were calling everyone defeatocrats and cut and runners, they were considering... well... cutting and running. Jerkass.

But the winner is the New York Post. This is just ridiculous. Wake up and smell the coffee gents. Bush lost the war. It's over. It's time for kids to stop getting killed because of his mistakes.

Have a great weekend. Go Grizz!!! Go get drunk!!!

Rocky Top, bitch!!!

Sorry for the prolonged inactivity. Extremely busy at work and still don't have internet at the new casa (don't ask). Anyway, the University of Tennessee Basketball Volunteers (BRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE!!!) are taking on the University of We won a game ten years ago tonight, and I couldn't be more pumped. For those of you not from Memphis, or who don't live in Memphis currently, let me try to explain something. I went to Tennessee. I root for Tennessee in any and everything they do.

I wouldn't think this is so hard to understand, but apparently it is. I've had people asking me all week who I'm rooting for. Who am I rooting for? Do you think I only have orange pants for football season? NO!!! I'm not one of those types. I went to UT!!! I'll root for the Tigers any other game they play, but as long as they are playing Tennessee they will be referred to as the University of We won a game ten years ago and that is that.


Go Vols!!

Some links of note.

Chris Sheridan on the Grizz situation.

The NBA on the Grizz situation.

Remember when people who said things like this were called cut and runners?

Does anyone need more proof that Republicans value wealth over work? Sorry, guys, you're going to have to earn that check.

And last, but certainly not least, what the hell does a brother got to do to get censured around here?

That's all for now, but I should be back in full force tomorrow.

Morning ramblings.

First of all, the Big Woo's little Woo was born early this morning. Everybody give a big woo to that.

In honor of the Big Woo I need to write something about baseball. I know most of you folks don't care about baseball, but me and Big Woo's relationship is built on the fact that we both love baseball... well that and we like drinking. Anyway, my question is what the hell is going on with baseball? Gary Matthews, Jr. and Juan Pierre have both signed deals paying them $10 million a year. Soriano just signed a deal that will pay him $18 million when he is 39 years old!!! I can't wait till next year when the owners blame the players for salaries being so high. See more here.

On that note, I would like to thank the Cardinals for keeping some sanity right now. They've made two modest signings, bringing back former Redbird Adam Kennedy and signing Kip Wells to a one year deal. Granted, the Cardinals may break the bank and sign Jason Schmidt, but at least it would be for Jason Schmidt, someone that has a track record of being dominant, not Gary Matthews.

Anyway, congratulations to Big Woo and go Cards.

Be back later with my thoughts on the Grizz ownership issue and the Jerkass of the Week.
