Orlando Magic head coach Brian Hill was fined $25,000 by the NBA after he criticized the officiating in a 85-90 loss to the Jazz. He claimed that they would have won had they gotten the last minute foul calls that they deserved, and that he was disappointed that the game wasn’t decided by the players. NO, THE GAME WAS DECIDED WHEN YOUR TEAM REMEMBERED THAT THE ONLY “MAGIC” THIS FRANCHISE CAN PERFORM IS MAKING A PLAYER’S CAREER DISAPPEAR….
Boston Red Sox pitcher David Wells said that he does not want Barry Bonds to pass Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list, which Bonds only needs 7 to do. Wells acknowledged Bond’s baseball ability but also said Barry should “be a man and come out and say that he did it” if he used steroids….If you’re guilty and you got caught, come clean. I think you can get a lot more respect from people than [by] lying”. YEAH, TAKE A TIP FROM DAVID WELLS…DIDN’T YOU SEE HOW MUCH RESPECT HE GOT WHEN HE ADMITTED THAT HE WAS DRUNK WHEN HE PITCHED A PERFECT GAME?
The first ever NASCAR Hall of Fame will be located in Charlotte, ending a long-standing race between 4 cities hoping to get that building. The $107.5 million hall is expected to be open in 2009 and is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of visitors. WOW, WHAT A VACATION THAT WOULD BE….”HEY KIDS, WOULDN’T YOU LOVE TO GO SEE A GARAGE?!?” YAY!!!!!
One day after suffering a stroke, Hall of Famer Kirby Puckett died at age 45. The 10-time all-star led the Minnesota Twins to two World Series titles in 1987 and 1991. Puckett’s career was cut short when he was diagnosed with glaucoma in his right eye, which caused him to lose his sight in that eye. He was a career .318 hitter and 6-time Gold Glove winner in centerfield. SAY WHAT YOU WANT ABOUT HIS OFF THE FIELD REPUTATION, BUT THIS GUY WAS ONE HELL OF A PLAYER, AND PLAYED WITH ENTHUSIASM THAT YOU DON’T SEE MUCH ANYMORE…
Kobe Bryant became the youngest player in NBA history to score 16,000 points on Friday night at 27 years and 192 days. He beat Wilt Chamberlain by 4 days. Just two months earlier became the youngest player in NBA history to score 15,000 points. IRONICALLY, KOBE IS ON PACE TO BE THE SLOWEST PERSON IN NBA HISTORY TO REACH ANY SORT OF MILESTONE FOR ASSISTS…
Under the guidance of trock Fucked Sports is back, giving you the scoop on the latest bullshit to hit the sports community.
Chicago Cubs pitcher Kerry Wood will have minor surgery on his right knee on Tuesday, this is just another seemingly-routine injury for the 28 year-old. He was not expected to be ready at the start of the season to begin with, and has been working on getting healthy after surgery on his right shoulder in late August. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? FOR HOW MUCH MONEY THE CUBS HAVE INVESTED IN THIS GUY, THEY’RE GETTING SOME PRETTY SHITTY LUMBER…
Two girls invited Red Sox General Manager Theo Epstein to their high school prom, but he decided not to escort them. Epstein apparently met the girls while down in Florida, and they went to the Red Sox training facility bearing signs that read “Will you go to the prom with me?” SORRY LADIES, NO SUCH LUCK….BUT HEY, I KNOW A GUY NAMED KOBE WHO MIGHT JUST DO IT!
The NFL has apparently come to a deadlock with the extension of the collective bargaining agreement just days before free agency is set to start. If the deal is not extended, this would be the last year with a salary cap, so agents and team officials want to know how to structure contracts. COME ON PEOPLE, WORK OUT A DEAL!!! THESE ATHLETES HAVE WIVES AND GIRLFRIENDS ON THE SIDE TO SUPPORT!!!
Commissioner Paul Taglibue has called a meeting for Thursday, the main sticking point seems to be the percentage of revenues that will be allotted to the players. HOW CAN YOU EXPECT MICHAEL VICK TO BE THE MOST OVERPAID PLAYER IN THE LEAGUE IF YOU DON’T HAMMER OUT A DEAL?!?
