Younger Curry Moving On
The Life & Times of Buddy W.
I know I know, last minute, but I was watching college basketball and forgot about it until I saw the list of stories I have in my room about ten minutes ago. So here it is and the picture you see above is actually from the night your about to read about. Enjoy.
Final Four

UConn Going to Detroit

Oklahoma Rolls, As Does Louisville
'Cuse fell to Oklahoma 84-71 but the games was not that close, sorry Kyle. Blake Griffin dominated the paint while Tony Crocker dominated the outside game connecting for six 3-pointers. Griffin had 30pts and 14rebs and Crocker went off for 28-points. Jonny Flynn scored 22pts and handed out 6asts for the Orange.
Sweet 16. 103-64. Are you kidding me? Why did Arizona even show up? Louisville torched the Wildcats connecting on 14 3-pointers on the night. Earl Clark led Louisville with 19pts and 9rebs while Terrence Williams had 14pts, 7rebs, and 6asts. Chase Budinger had 22pts for Zona and Jordan Hill had 14 and 11 boards.

Is This Bitch Serious!?
Yes, that is Rihanna and yes those are guns tattooed on her. There is also one more on her rib cage. I don't know what this means for her, but she probably should've just got real ones. But then again she'd probably be in jail with T.I.. Kinda weird but whatevers clever.
Fock Yeah!
According to Fox News:
The cast of “Little Fockers” — sequel to “Meet the Fockers” — has been set for an early July start date. This means everyone — Ben Stiller, Robert DeNiro, Teri Polo, Owen Wilson, Blythe Danner. It also means Dustin Hoffman and Barbra Streisand, who played Stiller’s parents in chapter two are being paged for the next edition. The title suggests more than one baby for Stiller and Polo’s characters.

Davidson Done, Is Curry?
St. Mary's knocked off the Wildcats tonight in their NIT showdown. Now the big question is, was the last we'll see of Steph Curry in a Davidson uniform? St. Mary's won the game tonight 80-68 led by Patty Mills' 23 points and 10 assists. Curry seemed to be the only hungry player on his team tonight going for 26 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Only one other Davidson player was in double figures with 10 points. The nation's leading scorer has to decide now if he wants to come back next year and try to make another run into the NCAA Tourney or throw his name into the NBA draft where he is most likely to be a lottery pick. After making a deep run in the tourney last year, some say Curry wants another go at it. Also, Steph being an active student in the Davidson community off the basketball court might weigh in his decision to stay for his senior year. I'd love to see him stay one more year and make a run at the NCAA Tourney and all-time NCAA scoring record held by Pistol Pete. If he does stay for his final year he's going to have to find some help if the team wants to be successful in the tourney.

The Life & Times of Buddy W
This ladies and gentleman is top notch Buddy W right here. This is a sent in story written by Jordan's brother. Thank you for the story, I appreciate it and I'm sure all the Buddy W fans do as well.
There are few things more important in deciding which college to attend than the overnight visit. In the early spring of 2006 Jordan visited the University of New Hampshire.
When a prospective freshmen embarks on an overnight visit of a college or university there is usually only one thing on his or her mind: partying. Jordan was similar in this respect. He would be spending Saturday night with his older brother as well as his brother’s friend Sean from college and Sean’s girlfriend. With upperclassmen guiding him, Jordan would soon be on his way to a blackout.
Natural Ice is one of those beers that seem like a well reasoned idea while one is standing in the liquor store. Economically, it cannot be beat. Each can proffers 5.9% alcohol by volume, and a thirty rack costs roughly $14. If you want to get very drunk for very cheap, look no further. However, there is a corollary. Natty Ice tastes as if it is brewed with cigarettes, and will wake you up at 8 am with a splitting headache as well as horrific vomiting. All ye enchanted by the siren Natty Ice, steer clear. You will invariably end up on the rocks.
The night began in an innocuous UNH dorm room. Guys pounded natty ice, in an effort to get well lubricated before heading out for the night. Girls furiously drinking colorful vodka drinks so sugary and diluted they were completely devoid of an alcoholic after taste. Someone received a call about a party at an apartment. The group drunkenly assembled and headed out.
Upon entering the apartment Jordan and his brother each locked eyes on the Beirut table. They called first game and went to work. Growing up on the Cape, Jordan and his brother experienced plenty of practice in the ways of Beirut. The first couple opponents were quickly dispatched with efficiency. The next few offered small challenges but no one at the party had threatened the team’s hegemony. It was at this time that the natty ice was taking its hold.
Winning in Beirut is a double edged sword. When you win, beer and praise are heaped upon you. But as you continue to win you miss out on the party. You drink far more than you would normally otherwise. If you are playing with a beer brewed by the devil himself you are sure to lose in the end.
Finally some real competition; Jordan and his brother were pitted against UNH juniors both of which looked like they started for the football team. The game was close and as such tensions ran high. Jordan, full of liquid courage called out his opponents for reaching too far across the table. His accusations were met with resistance. Quickly the situation spiraled out of control. Jordan turned to his brother and loudly proclaimed, “Dude, just tell me that I could fuck this kid up.” His brother just shook his head. “I would kick the shit out of him,” Jordan expounded. Turns out Jordan’s enemy was training for UFC. “I think we should get the fuck out of here,” said Jordan’s brother, the voice of reason.
On the way back to the dorms, a quick stop was made to Durham House of Pizza. Formally the home of dollar slices. Fuck $1.50 slices, but that is another story. Jordan and his brother quickly devolved into drunken stupors that resulted in more of the pizza ending up on the floor than eaten.
Outside Congreve Hall Jordan was hit hard by natty ice. He vomited violently all over a bench outside the building. Sources have revealed that the vomit stain remained through the end of the school year.
Eventually, Jordan was brought inside to the bathroom where his brother took care of him. Sean and his girlfriend returned to her room to sleep. Somewhere in the alcoholic haze, Jordan’s brother decided it would be a good idea to leave Jordan in the bathroom by himself. No good decisions are ever considered with a brain operating on Natty Ice.
Sometime in the night Sean was roused from his sleep and he decided to check on Jordan and his brother. He returned to the bathroom where he had left the two and found only Jordan still throwing up and looking worse for wear. Sean, like a saint, cleaned Jordan up and got him a change of clothes. Understandably, he was pissed off to find his friend soundly asleep on the futon when he returned to his girlfriend’s room. He put Jordan to sleep and hoped that the worst was over.
At 7 am three tired souls were awaken to the sound of liquid hitting plastic. Jordan had woken up and began pissing in the room’s trash can. Whether he was still blacked out or simply too lazy to go to the bathroom, no one knows.
After all that, Jordan still had to go to a UNH accepted students orientation at 8 am. He got dressed, was given directions to the orientation and sent away. His brother and Sean watched him cross the lawn to the academic building from the comfort of the dorm room. “He’ll be fine,” Jordan’s brother assured Sean.
The phone rang. “Where the hell is Jordan? The orientation’s almost over he’s nowhere to be found.”
“Shit.”

GOOD Music
I just watched a live streaming video of a GOOD Music concert on Kanye's Blog. Pretty damn good besides when Kanye was singing "Good Life" then forgot what song he was doing and jumped into "RoboCop" I believe it was. He just laughed it off and moved on, but overall it was good. Other performers on stage with Kanye were Kid Cudi, Mr. Hudson, Big Sean, Common, Tony Williams, 88-Keys, Consequence, Fonzworth Bentley and more. Hudson, Cudi, Sean and Consequence all have albums coming out this year. It will be the first threes debut albums so look out for those.
Still Dancing
So what if I had Wake in my final four, I got every game right today and tomorrow looks very promising for me. UNC, UConn, Oklahoma, Purdue, Gonzaga, Duke, Villanova, and Memphis were all winners today and move on to the sweet 16.
Bill Walker
He's Back
KG played in his second game back tonight and the C's have won both contests. He scored 10 points in each game in limited action. The Celts dominated the Grizz tonight winning 105-87. Glenn Davis had a career high with 24 points off the bench and Ray Allen chipped in with 20. The C's lost six of 11 games while Garnett was out, but now I think the Green Machine will get back into their groove and make a run for the number one seed in the East.

Manyy's tight hamstring is keeping him out of the Dodgers lineup but not this pitch for DirecTV. Manny hit five of eight pitches including one rocket shot that went straight towards a crowd.
CCBL Clubs May Call on Soares
Barack-etology
Some of his picks seem pretty suspect but we'll see what happens. I've switched my bracket around probably 20 times and I'm still not sure if I like it. Morehead State won last night so they've got a first round match-up with Louisville. First round games start tomorrow, let the maddness begin!

The Life & Times of Buddy W
On this night I'm going to tell you about I was actually there with Jordan and some other friends. This is a throwback story that took place during our sophomore year in high school. I hope you enjoy. Oh by the way, how appropriate this is the 200th post.
We all started the night at the Cranberry Harvest Festival playing all the lame carney games and what not. Hunter was with us and was picking a fight with the carney working the basketball game because he said Hunter couldn't shoot anymore because he had already made one. But Hunter had already spent more money trying to win a second time so asked for his money back. Obviously the carney won this battle and wouldn't give him any money but Hunter went to another game and won a giant tooth brush and threw it at the carney and told him to scrub his yellow teeth. Anyway, once we got bored with that Jordan, Hunter, Jared, Packy and I walked to Packy's house to have some drinks. We arrived at Packy's house and Hunter, Jared, Packy and I started drinking some beers. Jordan obviously was not satisfied with the beers we had and just drank straight vodka. No one else wanted any vodka so Jordan knew he had it to himself and drank that shit like a new born baby being breast fed. After we got some drinks in us we walked back to the fair and met up with some other friends. This is where Jordan starts feeling it, but he engages in a full length conversation with Pat Malone anyway. Once he finishes is talk we decide we have to get him home and walk back to Packy's house again. While we're there his mom comes home so we have Jordan wait outside and he just lays in the driveway for a bit while we all get ready to leave. Jordan is clearly blackout now and we're all just trying to get over to Hunter's to get his car and get him home. So once we're at Hunter's we first need Jordan's keys because obviously he can't drive. Buddy starts being a hard ass and won't hand over the keys so first Jared throws a punch to his stomach but he still won't hang them over so then Hunter hits him in the face. Once we finally get the keys away from him we have to figure out who's going to drive his car back to his house. Somehow I get chosen to drive, mind you I don't even have my permit yet. So I back the car out of the driveway then turn it around and we decide that this probably isn't the best idea. So if I'm not mistaken I believe Haley ends up driving and Jared follows us in his car so he can drive us home afterwards. Just another night Jordan does not remember, one of many. Good night ladies and gentlemen. Good night.
Selection Sunday
Get your brackets ready tonight cause it's selection sunday. By the looks of the conference tourneys there will be a ton of upsets and some teams left out that you may think were deserving of a bid. I'm still pulling for UConn all the way.

Wade Goes For 50
Wade nearly went for a triple-double today scoring a blistering 50 points, grabbing 10 rebounds and handing out nine assists. The Heat won in triple overtime defeating the Utah Jazz 140-129. Today Wade became the Miami Heat's all-time leading scorer passing the legendary Alonzo Mourning. Wade said after the game "Just another day at the office"... lets just give him the trophy now. MVP! MVP! MVP!

Six Overtimes, Who Woulda Thunk It?
What the fuck just happened? 'Cuse played a hell of a game I'll give 'em that but I'll still say UConn owned that game all the way and should've won. Six overtimes? Are you shitting me? 127-117, what an upset. First of all I'd just like to say after regulation was winding down I said it'd go into overtime then at the end of the first overtime I said it would go to six overtimes. Kyle and Jordan can both vouch for me they heard it and sure enough it went six OT's. The Orange better be giving Andy Rautins hand jobs non-stop all night till he falls asleep tonight cause he saved their asses with clutch three after clutch three. Johnny Flynn played a great game and Paul Harris sucked balls as he couldn't find the rim to save his life, but he still managed to score 29 and pul down 22 boards. That man missed at least two dunks and four lay-ups in the overtimes that would've put his team in position to win much earlier. OH! Eric Devendorf is a bitch. A.J. Price and Stanley Robinson played big for the Huskies scoring 33 and 28 respectively. Five Huskies had double figure rebounds as UConn grabbed 13 more boards then the Orangeman. A total of eight players between the two teams fouled out and they put up a combined 209 field goal attempts and there weren't enough beers in Kyle's house to get us through the third OT. UConn seemed to have the game in each of the first five OT's but 'Cuse always found a way to scratch back in and tie the game. Syracuse did not lead in any of the overtimes until Rautins made a three off the tip in the sixth and final OT. Devendorf made a shot at the end of regulation that looked liked it gave the Orange the win but after review it showed he held on to it .01 seconds too long. Devenfaggot has shown in these past two games that he runs his mouth way too much, dude is a straight punk. Flynn played an amazing 67 minutes and will suit up again tonight as the 'Cuse will take on West Virgina at 9pm. I guess its pretty fitting that an epic game like this would be played at MSG. At least Pitt lost tonight too. I've got WVU as a lock to win tonight. Let's get it!!!

The Life & Times of Buddy W.
Hopefully this will stop the hate mail I've been getting from all you Buddy lovers. I didn't realize how much all you guys really enjoy these. Anyways... your welcome...
Buddy starts of this night enjoying some 151 Ice at Vardakis' house. This was just some pre-gaming before hitting the Hookers Ball with some friends. While Jordan is at the Ball he decides to steal some champagne with Ripa and Juice then go off and drink it in the woods. When Buddy gets back inside he borrows a wrist band so he can snag a cold beer from the bar. As he turns around in joy he drops his beer but is way too disheartened to get another one. Now Jordan is off to his next location of the night which just so happens to be a Chatham party. Police come once and some kids tell Jordan and Ripa to stay in this one room, Chris gets pissed and makes that phone call that is good for no one but himself and his friends. Thats right he called his brothers. The Ripa's arrive and a big fight nearly breaks out but the police are back and Jordan dips into the woods to hide. Buddy is now in the woods too drunk to stand hiding from the police. After they leave Jordan gets out of the woods a little late as all of his friends had also left. Nevin talks them into coming back for their drunken friend and they get Jordan and take him home. Two days later Buddy is covered in poison ivy, yes from hiding in the woods. Now Jordan is starting off his career at Babson with a very sweet rash and another eventful story to tell.

Asher Roth
John Mayer Steps Into Hip-Hop
Short clip of John Mayer making a beat. After he listened to Kanye's 808's and Heartbreak he said he was inspired and is now dipping into a new genre.
Flash for President!
Up till these past nine games I've been in favor of Kobe going back-to-back with the MVP award. Even though Kobe has actually been raising his numbers game by game how can Wade not get this award. Sure his team is roughly a 500 ball club put this guys has been playing out of his mind. On the season he's averaging 30ppg, 8apg, 5rpg, 2stls and a block. Last night he had 48 and 12 and hit the game winning shot as time expired in the second overtime of a dog fight with Chicago. Yeah yeah yeah LeBron this LeBron that I just don't see as him the MVP yeah his numbers are top notch but if Wade doesn't get it I'd say it's Kobe. If Steve fucking Nash can go back-to-back I don't see how the best player in the world can't. As for now thought I'm pulling for Flash, I mean he is keeping my fantasy squad in first place.
Sooo Fresh
Busy day so I haven't had a lot of time to post shiiit, but I did see some stuff that I'll post later tonight or tomorrow.
Stay Fresh motherfuckers.

Home Stretch
Today the C's fought back from a 22-point deficit but couldn't get the home court win as they fell to the Magic 86-79. Ray Allen put up 32pts and nine rebounds and Paul scored 16pts to go with his 8rebs. Starbury got the start today and only scored four points in 20 minutes of action.
Common & Serena
Am I the only one who didn't know Common and Serena Williams were dating. The first news I hear are rumors that they could be getting married soon.
