Chris Culliver isn't the smartest guy.

Most guys don't go to the NFL because they are intellectuals. This, however, is just plain careless and stupid. It's one thing to have your own views and another to just know when to not talk. The video doesn't really need to much explanation so I'll just post it and save you the reading. The irony of him playing for San Franciso is also quite hilarious.

All Hail the Scalabrine.

Every sports fan sits around some times wondering how a particular individual plays professional sports for a living. I myself am guilty of accusing professional athletes of stealing money. For example, every time Udonis Haslem takes a jumper these days I hold my breath just hoping it hits the rim. However, none of these athletes have been loved like Brian Scalabrine. By loved I mean loved on the internet.

Known as the "White Mamba" on internet message boards, Scalabrine has built up a reputation as being known as the nice guy who just happens to play basketball. After an 11 year career with the Nets, Celtics and Bulls he called it quits. He even won a championship with the Celtics in 2008. Never starting more than nine games in his career, people began to wonder how the White Mamba was able to put together such a long career and bank over 15 million dollars in the process

Well, Scalabrine had enough and challenged five local self proclaimed street "ballers" to a 1-on-1 challenge sponsored by a local radio station. How did he do? Well, he gave up as many baskets as games he played. Five. Two games were shut outs. Winning every game easily. 

After every game Scalabrine talked about how "good" these guys were and how some may have some promising careers and game. Sorry Brian, but if these guys can't beat a career 10th man, they might need to look at other opportunities.

The "Scallenge"

No one cares anymore, Lance.

Why Miamians should root for Nick Saban tonight...

"Grass is blue, the sky is red
and I will not be
the next head coach at
Alabama." - Nick Saban

If you live in Miami or are a Dolphins fan, you likely aren't a big fan of Nick Saban. The Alabama head coach will be playing for his fourth college national title tonight, his third with Alabama, against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Surely, there will be some misguided Miami folk still wishing for the professional destruction of Nick Saban. Who can blame them? Especially after the now infamous, "I guess I have to say it, I'm not going to be the Alabama coach." Saban went on to meet with Alabama officials on January 1st, 2007, after ending the Dolphins season with a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. On January 4th, 2007, Saban was officially introduced as the Crimson Tide's new coach.
Pretty hard to like someone after they blatantly lie to you, but it's time to let go. Nick Saban already has multiple BCS national championships and will likely play for more.

Win or lose tonight, he will likely go down as one of the best college coaches of all time. The Dolphins seem to be headed in the right direction (finally) with Joe Philbin in as head coach and Ryan Tannehill showing promise.
So why even bother rooting against him against another enemy? That's right, I said enemy.

The infamous 1988 fumble that never was.
Cost the Hurricanes a national title
that year.

If you are from Miami, you likely are also a fan of the Miami Hurricanes. If you root against Nick Saban tonight, you are rooting for the team and the school that called your guys convicts. They painted themselves as the good guys, riding around on their moral high horse and labeled you the bad when they likely had just as many bad apples.Not to mention the straight beat down they put on the Hurricanes earlier this year to the tune of 41-3 in Chicago.

Just think about it like this Miami fans, when was the last time the Hurricanes won a national title? 2001.  Do you really want Notre Dame to be able to say that they have the most recent title AND that they won it on your field? I hate to say it but **SIGH** Roll Tide.
