MOCK IT ON UP!!!

Yet, another installment... enjoy...

1. Portland- GREG ODEN C OHIO STATE
I used to “not be sold” on Greg Oden. Well… those days are GONE. On and off the court… he’s coming FOR THAT NUMBER ONE SPOT!!!

2. Seattle- KEVIN DURANT PG/SG/SF/PF/C TEXAS
In a draft where you just can’t lose in the top 2… Seattle gets a super-sharp talent to go along with Ray Allen and… um…

3. Atlanta- AL HORFORD PF/C FLORIDA
BPA… So what If they have 9 other Forwards on their roster.

4. Memphis- MIKE CONLEY JR. PG OHIO STATE
Start crying, Pau. You’re still playing Center.

5. Boston- YI JIANILAN PF CHINA
Great PR move for an awful team. Trade the farm for Kobe Bryant, pre-draft, or get a bargain in Paul Pierce before the trade deadline?

6. Milwaukee- JEFF GREEN F GEORGETOWn
He does everything well, already… and to think… Georgetown didn’t utilize his full potential in their Princeton style offense. Watch out, Cavs…

7. Minnesota- COREY BREWER G/F FLORIDA

No offense. Plenty of defense. No ego. The anti-Ricky Davis.

8. Charlotte- BRANDaN WRIGHT PF UNIVERISTY OF NORTH CAROLINA

He can step in those 44 games Emeka Okafur misses… plus it’s the homer pick. His familiarity will mask his lack of offensive arsenal, until his game develops.

9. Chicago- SPENCER HAWES C WASHINGTON

Fans claim to be a post presence away from the Finals? We’ll see.

10. Sacramento- JOAKIM NOAH F/C FLORIDA

He’ll bring… offense? No. Defense… Eh… not really, but he’ll bring plenty of energy to a re-building franchise.

11. Atlanta- ACIE LAW IV PG TEXAS A & M

Trust me… passing on Conley wasn’t a bad move. Law will lead this team to the playoffs… IN 07-08. Write it down. Quote it. Tattoo it on your arm.

12. Philadelphia- AL THORNTON F FLORIDA STATE

He’ll bring maturity, poise and athleticism. Their young core is shaping up well.

13. New Orleans- NICK YOUNG SG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNA

If Mohawks are going to be in style… it’ll be in New Orleans.

14. LA Clippers- JAVARIS CRITTENTON PG GEORGIA TECH

Sometimes… you have to draft for need and not potential. The Clippers need to win games, before Elton Brand can opt out next season. Crittenton can help.

15. Detroit- THADDEUS YOUNG G/F GEORGIA TECH

Cleveland exposed their lack of young depth… especially in the backcourt.

16. Washington - DERRICK BYARS SG VANDERBILT

He’s ready to contribute right away. Sadly, this rookie will immediately become their best perimeter defender from the day he signs a contract.

17. New Jersey- JULIAN WRIGHT F KANSAS

Remember when the Wizards passed on PG Marcus Williams, and the Nets struck gold when they selected him? DeJa Vu? I think so…

18. Golden State- RODNEY STUCKEY G EASTERN WASHINGTON

He is the perfect compliment to Baron Davis.

19. LA Lakers- MORRIS ALMOND SG RICE

He can do it all on the offensive end. After being the go-to guy at Rice, he’ll have to learn to be the 6th option, behind Kobe, Kobe, Kobe, Kobe aaaaaand... Odom.

20. Miami- JASON SMITH PF COLORADO STATE

They signed Antoine Walker. They have to be interested in this 7 footer, who’s in love with the jump shot.

21. Philadelphia- RUDY FERNANDEZ SG SPAIN

Tough competitor. Once he adds weight and strength, he’ll be a more than capable back-up SG, behind Andre Iguodala.

22. Charlotte- MARCO BELINELLI SG ITALY

Okay, so Michael Jordan couldn’t co-exist with Rip Hamilton in Washington, well he could surely use him in CHA. Why not take a taller, stronger version of Rip?

23. New York- DAEQUAN COOK G OHIO STATE

They’ve stated they’ll take a ‘chance’ and someone they can ‘wait a year for’. Cook is talented, but you’ll surely have to wait for him to put it all together.

24. Phoenix- TIAGO SPLITTER C BRAZIL

They can afford to wait a year.

25. Utah- ARRON AFFLALO SG UCLA

Meet the key to playoff success… selfless, consistent players.

26. Houston - JOSH MCROBERTS PF DUKE

Someone will take a chance on him. He’s mildly athletic, but isn’t consistent. He ought to be the straw that breaks T-Mac’s already injury-laden back…

27. Detroit- GABE PRUITT PG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA

How long will Lindsey Hunter play?

28. San Antonio- JARED DUDLEY F BOSTON COLLEGE

Another talented, hard-working player is added to their roster. The rich get richer!!!

29. Phoenix- DEMETRIS NICHOLS SF SYRACUSE

Flat-out scorer and the measurable numbers to be a lock down defender at the 2-3… and even 4. He’s a real sleeper.

30. Philadelphia- KYRYLO FESENKO C UKRAINE

He’ll surprise a lot of people… Give him a year to prepare for the NBA’s physical style of play and demanding schedule, and he’s going to be a huge addition to the Sixers.

NBA Mock Database

And ANOTHER one...

BIG FOOT!!! NOW IN SEATTLE!!!

3. Atlanta- MIKE CONLEY PG OHIO STATE
Look. They can’t possibly have another need for a FORWARD.

4. Memphis- AL HORFORD PF/C FLORIDA
Start crying, Pau. You’re still playing Center.

5. Boston- YI JIANILAN PF CHINA
Great PR move for an awful team. Trade the farm for Kobe Bryant, pre-draft, or get a bargain in Paul Pierce before the trade deadline?

6. Milwaukee- BRANDON WRIGHT PF UNIVERISTY OF NORTH CAROLINA
He has a long reach... and that's what this pick is; A long reach.

7. Minnesota- COREY BREWER G/F FLORIDA
No offense. Plenty of defense. No ego. The anti-Ricky Davis.

8. Charlotte- JOAKIM NOAH PF FLORIDA
He can step in those 44 games Emeka Okafur misses.

9. Chicago- SPENCER HAWES C WASHINGTON
Fans claim to be a post presence away from the Finals? We’ll see.

10. Sacramento- JULIAN WRIGHT F KANSAS
Think about this… Does Artest stay in any one place for long?
Keep thinking…
Exactly… Now onto the rest of the lottery...

11. Atlanta- AL THORNTON F FLORIDA STATE
Harrington? Thornton? Whatever… they got Conley.

12. Philadelphia- JASON SMITH PF COLORADO
They need a PF and penguin arms is the pick.

13. New Orleans- NICK YOUNG SG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Whom they wish JR Smith would have been…

14. LA Clippers- ACIE LAW IV PG TEXAS A&M
Cassell? Livingston? GET ELTON BRAND RELIABLE HELP!!!

15. Detroit- THADDEUS YOUNG G/F GEORGIA TECH
Cleveland exposed their lack of young depth… especially in the backcourt.
16. Washington - JEFF GREEN F GEORGETOWN
He knows the Princeton offense. He’s local. He’s a steal.

17. New Jersey- SEAN WILLIAMS F/C BOSTON COLLEGE
How’s the weed in Jersey?

18. Golden State- MORRIS ALMOND G/F RICE
With Baron Davis… he’ll be averaging 20 plus, in no time.
19. LA Lakers- DERRICK BYARS G/F VANDERBILT
Toughness… shooting… maturity… He wants to be the man, and he just may be, if Kobe keeps crying.

20. Miami- JAVARIS CRITTENTON PG GEORGIA TECH
Gary Payton and Jason Williams are motivated, no longer.

21. Philadelphia- RODNEY STUCKEY G EASTERN WASHINGTON
Instant offense.

22. Charlotte- RUDY FERNANDEZ SG SPAIN
SG problems are almost fixed, now.

23. New York- DAEQUAN COOK G OHIO STATE
They’ve stated they’ll take a ‘chance’ and someone they can ‘wait a year for’. Cook is talented, but you’ll surely have to wait for him to put it all together.

24. Phoenix- TIAGO SPLITTER C BRAZIL
They can afford to wait a year.

25. Utah- MARCO BELINELLI SG ITALY
Utah’s out in Europe… Spendin’ EUROoooooooooo’s

26. Houston - ARRON AFFLALO SG UCLA
Think Shane Battier at the 2… with a deadly mid-range game. Wipe your tears away, T-Mac.

27. Detroit- GABE PRUITT PG UNIVERISTY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
Forget about Chauncey Billups... How long will Lindsey Hunter play?

28. San Antonio- JARED DUDLEY F BOSTON COLLEGE
His intensity and tenacity will make for a good Sports Illustrated NBA Finals Champions Special Offer! Feature…

29. Phoenix- MARCUS WILLIAMS G ARIZONA
They never really did replace Joe Johnson… They don’t here, but at least they tried.

30. Philadelphia- AARON GRAY C PITTSBURGH
He’s 7’2”? That makes him worth a shot with the last pick of the draft.

Colt Brennan: I can't win the Heisman

Hawaii superstar QB Colt Brennan has come out and claimed that under no circumstance can he win this upcoming season's Heisman trophy. Colt sees his teams super soft schedule as the reason why.

But is that the reason why?

Or is Colt beginning to realize what we knew all along?



He is a system QB.

Colt Brennan, Timmy Chang, Chad Owens, Ashley Lelie. What do these names have in common?

Yeah, they all went to Hawaii. And they all are busts at the NFL level.

Because no one throws it 70 times a game in the big leagues. Here's to you waking up, Colt.

Dolphins Players Rect to Tedd Ginn

I swear I dont hate Ted Ginn. But its too funny and interesting to see all the reaction to taking Gimpy at 9 overall. News out of Miami is that Dolpins players are not happy about Cam Camerons first selection, and see the fact that they traded for Trent Green as a sign that there was a evident QB problem, with no solution, and they still passed on Quinn. Whats that old saying? If you dont have a franchise signalcaller you must pick one? Better hope Cleo doesn't turn out to be a Lemon, or this will blow up soon as Trent Green is put out of commission with another injury.

More Ted Ginn Lovers

Check this out, more candid reaction from Dolphins fans. Bahahaha.

My Dog Mike Vick!

Why "My Dog" Mike Vick must come up big this season:

1. The Dog Fighting Allegations

Its been a turbulent offseason for Mr. Vick and Roger Codell has made it clear that he is not playing this season. After suspending PacMan Jones for being involved with a few incidents he was never formally charged for, Vick could be looking at worst if he is charged for felony dog fighting. He might only play 8 or so games this season, so he needs to come up big in those games.

2. Coach Petrino in the A Town

Mike gets one year to audition for a long term role with his new coach. If after a year this marriage does not work, dont be surprised if Vick is released or traded, and Brian Brohm ends up reuniting with Coach Petrino after the 2008 NFL Draft.

3. Playoffs?! Who's talking about PLAYOFFS?!

The Falcons have too much talent (outside of those horrible recievers) to be missing the playoffs like the did last year. Vick was drafted #1 and is supposed to have the type of talent that can transcend his team to the big game, like he almost did a few years ago. Warrick Dunn and Alge Crumpler are not getting any younger, and this team could be broken up if it doesn't work this year.

And this photo just came up on Google when I was searching for pics, I just had to include it...

1st NBA MOCK... Won't be the last.

1. Portland- Greg Oden C Ohio State
They get the best player in the draft… Centers this good are a rarity.
2. Seattle- Kevin Durant G/F Texas
I can promise two things in this NBA offseason... Rashard Lewis will be gone. Rashard Lewis will not be missed.
3. Atlanta- Mike Conley Jr. PG Ohio State
Chris Paul… Deron Williams… Yeah, the Hawks passed on them, forcing them to reach for Mr. Conley Jr.
4. Memphis- Brandan Wright PF UNC
Stop whining Pau. You get an ultra-talented PF to help carry the load.
5. Boston- Al Horford PF/C Florida
Yes. More power-forward depth!!!
6. Milwaukee- Yi Jianlian PF China
He’s tall and can shoot. Sounds like Charlie V, but expect a swap with Boston.
7. Minnesota- Joakim Noah PF Florida
Time to prepare for life after Kevin Garnett… or at least someone who can help KG on the defensive end.
8. Charlotte- Corey Brewer G/F Florida
Time to prepare for life after Gerald Wallace…
9. Chicago- Julian Wright F Kansas
He’s athletic with a nice mid-range game. Outside of 15 ft??? BEN! GET THE REBOUND!!! Seriously…No post player is worthy of this spot…
10. Sacramento- Jeff Green F Georgetown
A steal at this point… Artest is unpredictable. Green is predictable. He’s predictably consistent; never mind the Ohio State game. FLUKE!!! FLUKE, I SAY!!!
11. Atlanta- Spencer Hawes C Washington
Oh, how bad I want to give them a swingman or undersized PF… but they get wiser and get their PG and C of the future, through one draft…
12. Philadelphia- Al Thornton PF Florida State
His aggressiveness and drive is what this teams needs.
13. New Orleans- Nick Young G USC
Aside from Paul and Peja ‘I might be healthy this year’ Stojakovic, the Hornets have little backcourt depth. Young is the player they hoped JR Smith would be.
14. LA Clippers- Rudy Fernandez G Spain
No storybook ending… the hometown kid, Young, is picked at 13, and the Clippers get themselves a crafty SG who’s athletic, can shoot the 3, and has never sported a Mohawk… to my knowledge.
15. Detroit- Acie Law IV PG Texas A&M
Billups may stay or Billups may go… Lindsey Hunter WILL NOT get any younger.
16. Washington - Marc Gasol C Spain
They ALWAYS go for need and Brendan Haywood has cried all his tears away… they get a center who actually has… *GASP* POST SKILLS??!?!?!
17. New Jersey- Jason Smith F/C Colorado
Boone dunks. Smith shoots. Hmm… if only they would have retained Kenyon Martin…
18. Golden State- Thaddeus Young G/F Georgia Tech
Ultra-talent. Ultra-steal. He’ll flourish in their up-tempo- ‘Hey, 4 wings and a point guard ain’t so bad!!!’ style of offense…
19. LA Lakers- Arron Afflalo SG UCLA
Call it a reach, but Afflalo is tough, mentally and physically. He can defend, and shoot!!! Kobe will surprised to see a Laker, without the number 24, make a shot.
20. Miami- Javaris Crittenton PG Georgia Tech
Gary Payton and Jason Williams got their rings… maybe that’s why their play has been less than inspired.
21. Philadelphia- Rodney Stuckey G Eastern Washington
Instant offense, with solid defense. Can play the 1 or 2, so he’ll get on the floor at some point.
22. Charlotte- Derrick Byars SG Vanderbilt
He can do it all… But more importantly, he’ll knock down the shots they thought Adam Morrison would have.
23. Chicago- Josh McRoberts PF Duke
They get their post player… and that much closer to a ring.
24. Phoenix- Tiago Splitter F/C Brazil
Probably a steal at so late… finally, Amare… Duncan will abuse someone else, after Splitter plays in EURO for one more season.
25. Utah- Morris Almond SG Rice
Don’t be surprised to see him making big shots on their way to the Western Conference finals (They still have no chance against the Spurs)
26. Houston - Daequan Cook SG Ohio State
Who do you select here that helps T-Mac advance in the playoffs? Eh… Cook is worth a shot. He and Luther Head will have to provide points off the bench.
27. Detroit- Sean Williams C Boston College
What’s the best way to control a troublesome, yet talented black male athlete? Put him around proven winners and a respected white coach. Ask Rasheed Wallace and Randy Moss. Heeeeeeeeeeeeeey… I’m just SAYIN!!!
28. San Antonio- Marco Belinelli SG Italy
They don’t have needs. The rich just get richer.
29. Phoenix- Marcus Williams SG Arizona State
Here’s a guy who doesn’t do anything exceptionally well, but he fills the stat sheet. He’ll get a chance to shine in Phoenix. Now, they can stop feeling the loss of Joe Johnson.
30. Philadelphia- Aaron Gray C Pittsburgh
Roy Hibbert threw everyone a curveball, but the Sixers get a C who’s bigger than most NBA centers… and he has nice range on his shot.

I Dont Hate Ted Ginn... But These People Do

Checkout this video from the 2007 NFL Draft where Dolphin fans thought they were going to select Brady Quinn, the Quarterback from Notre Dame.. only to select Tedd Ginn, the Wide Reciever from Ohio State! Remember these are the same Florida fans that saw Tedd Ginn get injured on the opening play of the National Championship against their Gators!
