The NBA

I know there are a lot of haters out there about the NBA and how "boring" it is compared to NCAA ball and March Madness.  For the most part I would have to agree with you.  March Madness is awesome and the excitement is through the roof.  But I am here to play devils advocate for the NBA and stick up for these old men and their lac luster style of play.  If you have been watching any of the NBA playoffs this year you have seen some excellent games with the greatest basketball players on the planet. 
One has to really appreciate the way experienced teams play and the way they win not only games but championships.  Take the Celtics for instance, at the beginning of their series with the Orlando Magic nobody thought they would win.  The Magic have more talent, are younger, and have better all around athletes.  But you have to look deeper why Boston is going to win this series and get to another championship series.  They are essentially taking Dwight Howard out of his game and making his teammates step up and beat them... which they are not doing.  Taking star players out of the a equation is what teams strive to do all the time...Example...Look at the Detroit Pistons in the 80's against the great Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls.  The Pistons and their crafty veterans took Jordan out of his game and it took him and the Bulls years to get past them in the playoffs.
Switching gears a bit...I am a huge Suns fan at heart and obviously find them to be (along with Cleveland) the most exciting team to watch by leaps and bounds.  Watching Steve Nash operate on the floor and make all of his teammates better is priceless.  Just had to throw in my 2 cents there.
So to the people that hate on the NBA, don't be so quick to judge.  Learn about the players, understand the technique and style of play, then you should be able to appreciate what they do and the format they do it in.  On the other hand you will probably never catch me watching the Washington Wizards vs the Toronto Raptors any time soon.
In closing David Stern should give a huge thank you and bonus check to the individuals and players that truly represent the NBA and make it what it is today.  Steve Nash, Grant Hill, Dewayne Wade, Tim Duncan, Lebron James, Chris Paul, the list goes on obviously, my point being if the league didn't have these star players representing the NBA and what it should stand for there would be no league at all.

The rating system

OK guys, a lot has been said about rating girls 1-10 on "the scale" or "the rating system.  This means if you get rated a 1 and you are a chick, just kill yourself now because you have no shot at life.  I know that sounds a little harsh, but hey I never claimed to be nice, just honest.  On the other hand if a man lets you know that you are a 10 on his scale then you probably are Jessica Alba, Marissa Miller, Megan Fox or someone extremely attractive and should come over to my house immediately.  Chances are you know you are attractive and act like it, therefore making us like you less.  Tip ladies...don't do that, it makes you lose half a point.  We know that you know you are hot, just pretend you don't already know.
That being said I have found that most men's scales are a little out of whack.  Too many men rate girls on an unrealistic scale and give them way too high of score.  I know some guys are just trying to be nice, but it throws off the scale, so don't do it.  A good way to test your rating system is to confirm with your friends and see what they rate a woman both of you are familiar with.  If you are more than 2 points off from one another, one of your ratings scales need to be adjusted asap.  You can do this anywhere, at the mall, at a bar, walking down the street, whatever.  Most girls won't even know what you are talking about but use caution if they are in range to hear you.  Some girls know the rating system and if you yell out 5 and your friend yells out 4, you might get a slap to the dome or at least a dirty look. 
So bottom line do not overrate females on the scale it is bad for both male and female.
And don't forget females, feel free to rate your men as well, honesty is always the best policy. 
Oh and a cool book you should def read if not buy and is one of my BIBLES is I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell by Tucker Max.  Trust me its worth the 10 bucks!

so let me clear a few things up right away

So unless you live under a bridge in Tucson you probably have heard about the whole Tiger Woods / Jesse James / Ben Rothlisberger scandals in the news. And before you flip out and say what a bad person each of them are let me explain to you how a males mind and brain work. It is the the MALE DNA to spread seed and fornicate with as many women as possible. Example...say you are at a bar with some friends enjoying some adult beverages when a couple of attractive ladies sit down and notice that you are a professional athlete or celebrity. One thing leads to another and they would love to escort you to the nearest hotel, backseat, or alley. These ladies are obviously DG's (dirty girls) but hey... whatever.

My point is that it is not only the males fault. These DG's are to blame as well. These ladies know what kind of men they are dealing with, they know that they are married or in relationships, but they just don't care.

I am not saying to cheat on your wife/girlfriend/whatever, thats not the point. The point is if you are a female and you get into a relationship with a celebrity, know what to expect. Women are going to be throwing themselves all over them so just expect it. Little hint ladies...if you do what is expected of you at home and in the bedroom, there is no reason for us to stray. So in lue of me probably being one of the only people sticking up for these guys, here are some pics of them in the limelight. I am partial to the last pic myself.
