****I was planning on writing the first ever game notes from an NFL contest on the SKO site today, but since the Dolphins played like the NFL's equivalent to the Oklahoma City Thunder yesterday, I've decided to play out my experience in images. Enjoy. I will have game notes later today on the Heat/Nets game from Saturday night, which was a more enjoyable experience.****
Welcome
Over the course of human history, greatness has melded together at one time or another, creating fused unity that can sometimes be history changing. Bonnie & Clyde, The Beatles, Marvin & Tammy, Earth, Wind & Fire, Michael & Scottie, Biggie & Tupac, Shaq & Kobe, Paris & Nicole! Now, the 21st century welcomes the next great movement to rewrite the history books and change the rules. It's us, ya'll. Ain't no stoppin' us now.

Cheryl will offer “A Sistah’s Point of View” (ASPOV) to this madness, because as you will read over the next few months, it will be needed. I see connections, like Haley Joel Osment sees dead people. Connections between modern sports, culture, politics, race and racialization, art and dance, religion and myth. I will try to point these out without being too esoteric or dogmatic (but if I am, sue me). But what you can always expect is that I will be open, honest, and often catty. (That was an awfully un-feminist thing to say, huh?)”

White Hot Eboy, or just plain E, is a polarizing figure. On the SLAM site, the place of his e-origin, Eboy seems to move between love for his regular foils to sheer unbridled hate for his detractors. Here in this blogventure, look for Eboy to speak on basketball in all forms, movies, tv, politics, sports in general and anything else that he can throw his opinion at. Besides, he's legally obligated to be truthful and forthright, so stay ready, an E-storm is brewing.

TADOne
TADOne, or just plain TAD, is quite possibly the most sane member of this blog group, although, that is not saying much. My sarcasm, or just plain lack of empathy, has been known to reach epic levels of true disdain. Because of this, I have a love of binge drinking and mindless humor. Therapy is good.
Tariq
I am a sensitive, delicate soul. I use sarcasm and cynicism as self-defense mechanisms, douchebag. I do this to protect my faberge-egg-like psyche. If only I could increase my self-confidence, maybe then I could achieve a moment of sincerity. But I can't. So instead I have to be content with writing sublime pieces which delve into the realms of basketball, football (American), football (real), literature, religion, The Legend of Zelda and Reese's Pieces. I may even occassionally shed some insight into the complexities of the human condition. No promises, though.
My turn-ons are non-smokers and world peace. My turn-offs include crystal meth and springtime.

You may (though most likely don't) know me as commenter H to the izzo from SLAMonline.I will no longer answer to that moniker-ever.I'm retiring only to return again,but this won't be no Linkin Park collaboration.My list of lifetime achievements include being the second most foreign member.The youngest member,the least educated member.I roughly rank as the 3rd most white member and am three time Vodka chugging champion in my district.I intend to prove that basketball opinion and having little else better to do are a dangerous mix.I am usually wrong and am possessed by the ghost of Charles Oakley's right fist.

Hopefully you didn't get hit in the head from an errant Pennington throw.
Shit, I wish I would have.....would have made the afternoon painless.
Less painless you mean?
And I will drive to Florida tonight and let you slaughter me in a ball game if you indeed tell me that is YOUR son in that pic of the kid saluting his #1 team.
I wish it would have been.
Reminds me of Texas Stadium's last game. Just replace Chad with Romo. Sorry, E.
The Dolphins are a comical team like the globetrotters right?
I have to say that the kid flippin' the bird was not taken at the game last night. Hate to blow your cover, E.
What gave it away,Moose?Was it the Dutch soccer jersey?
Yeah, on second glance . . . but also the fact that it's been my desktop backround for the last three years kinda did it in.
I'm a Charger/49er fan with an affinity towards the Eagles. If San Diego become the first 4-8 team to end up in the SuperBowl, I will be pleased. I am, however, wary of Pittsburgh.
I REALLY hope we have a Chargers/Eagles SuperBowl.
By the way, the Arizona Cardinals are the most baffling team I've ever seen. They put together impressive wins and then get blown out 98-0 in the New England snow.
New England Patriots! Matt Cassell! Woo-Hoo!
Sam Cas...!, oh wait.
Oh well, balls for everyone!
Why was the stadium empty though? I thought that the Domino's were the new GS Warriors?
Ps- I dont follow the NFL, but I like watching guys sack the QB- (for moose 'sometimes I cant even belive its legal')- so I will go for whichever team loves to kill the QB the most. Who would that be?
I've always liked the name of the Jacksonville Jaguars? Eh.
Tariq- Is that even possible? 98-0? I honestly dont know if you're joking.
Hursty:
I think the best at sacking the QB are the Steelers. Tennessee and Baltimore are pretty good too. And Joey Porter from Eboy's Dolphins is a beast. Oh, and Julius Peppers from Carolina. (Demarcus Ware from Dallas is awesome, but the Cowboys suck and didn't make the playoffs).
And no, it wasn't 98-0. I think it was 47-0 (seriously).
P.S.
the Jags were AWFUL this season. But I like Maurice Jones-Drew.
Moose, no cover needed, just pulled the little guy from Google Images and used his angered look and proper hand gesture as my feelings around the 3rd quarter.
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTHERS
PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTHERS.
But Ed Reed is my favorite player in the NFL. That man needs a team of doctors to find a cure for the sickness that has taken over his body and turned him into a monster that eats picks for breakfast.
Ed Reed....The U. Nuff said.
So who should I go for? I won't go for the Steelers cos theres a team in the NRL who used to be called the Steelers- they were always the evil, ball/dick groping bastards who lost, but nobody wanted to play them because they were so dirty.
Hursty: Philadelphia. B. Long will tell you otherwise, but the Eagles have been my side team (sometimes number one team) for years now, and you'll love Dawkins, Westbrook, McNabb, Jackson . . . Fly Eagles, fly!
No one really thinks the Eagles are beating the Giants do they? Seriously? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's hillarious.
Well, the Eagles ARE a division opponent who know the Giants in and out and always play them tough. I'm thinking the game is going to be very close and will come down to the final minutes. I still think the Giants will win, but the Eagles are playing some good football right now. I just want to see a great game.
How does it feel to want?
Hi Eboy. Cool coïncidence (to me anyway): That (very old, but very cool) picture of the kid Feyenoord fan also ran today in the free newspaper that they hand out to trainpassengers in Holland. The article was dedicated to the comeback of "flipping the bird" in sports (mostly soccer). Also known as the "obscene gestures" that i read about when I see an NBA player fined.
E, my girl is a diehard Giants fan (from Jersey incidentally) so i'll be sorta rooting for the GMen to win. But if you don't think this will be a close game or a good game, then I think you are highly mistaken.
Hisham, long time no see.....good to see you. TAD, 28-13. Book that shit.
Hmmmm. Friendly wager?
Whatever floats it, kid. You ain't getting 15 in a bet, though.
Oh, I wasn't trying to bet who would win. However, I would like to bet you the final score will be within a touchdown.
I'm good with that. It will be more than 7.
Cool. We can each do a post or something that the other person wants us to do if we wrong. Deal?
LOL. I spose that means I'm going with Philly...unless someone throws in ther 2 cents as to why I should go for the Dolphins etc.
TAD- good luck with your girl (*saw facebook*).
My 'LOL' was actually in reference to tad/eboy, but whatever.
Deal......and yeah, TAD's loving a Jersey Girl......I can only guess that two years of my constant Jersey ways in my comments made him choose wisely.
E, I did live in Delaware about 11 years, thru high school and such. I'm not a newbie to Jersey. I know ya'll are a$$holes. Reagardless, i've known said lady for 6 years, so your personal intrusion the last 2 would have actually probably turned me off if I didn't already know better.
Oh, and yeah, I suppose we have a deal.
And yeah, thanks Hursty.
Whatever......Delaware is the asshole to the armpit that is Jersey....you're just mad that I'm "The Catalyst" to your love story. :)
Oh yeah, get your mind and your fingers right for the subject I'll have you writing about.
Is that why you moved to South Florida?
I heard a funny quote last week saying that Detroit is America's asshole and Baltimore is the taint.
That is all.
So AR, what is Cork in relation to Ireland?
TAD:The Peoples Republic,we even have a website to prove this.
SO?! Detroit has....um....errr....uhhhhh...let me get back to you on that.
So the bet is, I win if the Giants win by more than 7 and you win if the Eagles win or lose by less than7? Correct?
That is correct, my good man.
Oh, that meant you E. Sorry.
New stuff on hibachi!
Just as a comparison, last playoffs, Eli was like Michael, today, he was like Kobe against the Celts in the Finals. Big redneck loser.
Kobe had a 35 point game in the Finals E. Which one are you talking about? :) :)
Eli did nut up. However, his receivers did drop a couple of big catches. I'd be just as upset at that kicker missing two field goals.
08-09 Giants=07-08 Lakers.
Eboy:IS your middle name 'kneejerk'?
Uhm.........sure, if the Giants were playing next week that might be accurate.
