June 25 Houston Sports FaF Smear

Draft night!

If we haven’t pushed the shameless self-promotion angle too far yet (and we have), this will do it. Tonight Fourth and Fifty will proudly bring you a live blog for the 2009 NBA Draft. This may well be the worst draft in years, which will make things all the more interesting. Who will bring the funk with his suit and tie? Whose overweight mom will break down sobbing and almost lose her church hat? Who will pout like Stevie Franchise and then immediately demand a trade? Who will condescendingly pat David Stern on the head?

We’ll start the blog about 20 minutes before the first pick and update after every pick. We attempted to do this for the NFL draft, which would have been much more reasonable with its 10 minutes between each selection, but then someone had to go and have a wedding shower and throw the whole thing off. Tonight there is nothing, and TRG means NOTHING, that will stop us from doing the draft blog. Well, maybe one thing: watching dancing to hip hop sport media videos:

Here are your local Houston Sports Updates…

ASTROS: Lost to Royals 4-3 in 11. Bad, bad loss.  

TEXANS: Since we got ourselves a Steve Slaton mini-streak, here you go. I hope this Slaton streak turns into the Jim Rome Rex streak, which someone is still bitter about not being interviewed.

IRAN: Getting their democracy on, kind of. Seriously, this is exciting and dangerous stuff. Take 5 minutes off from being a knucklehead (I’m including myself here) and educate yourself on something that actually matters. Thanks to Goldfish for bringing a ray of light to this dark place. There is only one way to settle the election conflict, the way we did it here in America:

ROCKETS: Back to sportz. Yao’s foot isn’t healing. I for one am worried sick. NBA note: Shaq was traded to the Cavs for cap relief. Unless you think Big Ben Wallace is going to be an integral cog in the Suns machine next year. Can anyone say fire sale? I don’t like teams pandering to players like this – this was a “satiate LeBron (no homo)” move, and it Shaq really any better than Big Z? Players aren’t necessarily good talent evaluators. I guess the Cavs didn’t really give anything up, so it is a no-lose bet. Back to the Rox –  Rockets.com reader mock draft. The voice of the people is the voice of God. Joey Dorsey story – I really hope we’ll see some Thuggish Ruggish Joey this year. He went all Joey Porter last year and got teed up in a game he wasn’t even dressed for. What’s up with Joeys actin’ a fool, dog? We should have real news soon enough.

COOGS: Fooseball tickets on sale. That guy in the picture on the far right side looks familiar…
