Leave it to Pepsi and their billion dollar advertising budget to come up with an awesome, but totally un original new ad campaign. During the NBA Finals on Thursday I saw an interesting new commercial that I originally thought was just Greg Oden playing a pickup game. Then after a few seconds, when the player didn’t suffer a season ending injury I realized it couldn’t be Oden. That...

Feeling kind of confident after my Thunder in 6 prediction came true as well as my James v. Durant forecast. Before picking the winner of this years NBA Finals, I wanted to be sure to explore WHY I believe it will unfold the way it does. In my estimation the NBA is completely rigged barring injury. There is a reason everyone thinks that the Pacquiao fight, the NBA Lottery and the WWE are fixed… They are. At some point you...

My initial predictions in this series proved inaccurate as most of my official predictions are. My NBA Draft preview wasn’t even named accurately as it was actually an NBA Draft Lottery preview. It was more just me posting some pictures and saying what everyone already knew without discussing shit about the other 59 players that will be picked on a date I don’t even know. My Heat v. Celts preview probably would have been accurate as it is happening exactly as I expected so of course I didn’t even write it. All of that being said, I have now watched all of these games and have...

Woke up to a text message from Clinton Jortis about my not writing anymore. Here is the deal Jortscenter faithful. I am on a pretty sweet poker heater, my boss has been prepping me to hopefully take on a promotion at work, some Asian girls were naked during a ping pong playing cookout I attended yesterday and I also need to do laundry. So we are clear, all of these things trump writing for my unpaid website. That being said, there have been a number of topics that have come up lately that I probably should be writing about. I will attempt to get a few of them on wax today or tomorrow, and go...

Wow, remember a really long time ago when I bemoaned my bad luck in being a huge Royals fan? That article was written before I watched the Cleveland Cavaliers mail it in this evening. That article was written before I realized maybe Kansas City doesn’t have it that bad. The Royals won a ring in 1985. Cleveland hasn’t won shit since 1964. Cleveland is on a really depressing run. The Browns were bad ass in the 80′s and couldn’t get it done? Then the Indians had all the talent in the world and crapped the bed. Now, they have an absolute freak of nature who should be completely...

LeBron James named NBA MVP. I feel like this is kind of obvious. The Cleveland Cavaliers were completely unremarkable during my entire lifetime. Other than Mark Price making a lot of free throws, and Craig Ehlo doing the stop, drop and roll drill as Michael Jordan jumps up after that shot, their entire existence barely if ever registered. Now, they are in the Finals they have Shaq, their arena has a nickname… They are an actual viable entertaining NBA product, I would say the fact that one 23 year old person is responsible for making an entire city relevant definitely makes him the...
