LaRon Landry is a Monster- Enough Said.


Looks like Landry's injury stricken past seasons hasn't kept him from getting ridiculously huge. Landry has always been some sort of man-beast but it seems that he has taken it to a extreme new level. LaRon recently posted pictures of his new "I eat small children" size via his twitter account. But here's the deal bro, Your huge and its obvious you need a shirt that's not made for normal humans. Yes it makes your freakish size look 100% more terrifying but com'on man there's no way that shirt feels comfortable. All's i wanna know is what went through his mind when he decided to pass on NFL doctor recommend surgery and get freakishly huge.


"Fuck surgery, Ill just get super jacked and then no one will care my Achilles is shredded."
"I'm in the fucking gym 35 hours a day 10 days a week. My workout?  Fucking chest and arms everyday, do you see any other equipment behind me?."
I'm impressed he was able to snap a picture with gloves on, you know how those touch screens are.

Obviously when he posted these pictures he was thinking "I'm jacked and I'm the fucking man" and whoever in the NFL is thinking of picking up the soon-to-be free agent might wanna think of moving him to linebacker and goodluck finding pads that fit this beast.
If the NFL doesn't work out there's always the Incredible Hulk's stunt double.

Iverson's "Answer" to money problems.

Iversons Turkey Debute playing for Cola Turka
Allen Iverson the once a great player amongst the NBA, has fallen into some financial troubles since his retirement. Its been reported for several weeks now that he has been trying to gain basketball offers, in order to pay off the $850,000 he owes due to his "Iced" out jewelry. Hes obvious searching for money fast, having already a postion on an El Salvador team and another back in the the NBAs D leagues.
Its gotten so bad that an indoor soccer (yes we said soccer) has extended an insubstantial offer. Heres the Official press release:


"The Rochester Lancers, of the MISL's top level of pro indoor soccer, today announced a contract offer to former NBA star, Allen Iverson.
The Rochester Lancers host two remaining regular season home games to conclude their season.  The offer stands at $20,000 per game, with a bonus of $5,000 per goal scored, win bonuses, and merchandise bonuses.  There are over 12 goals scored on average per game.
'Allen Iverson is one of the premier athletes of our time," said Rich Randall, Vice President of the Rochester Lancers.  "With his athleticism and competitive hunger, I think he can be a great fit with our team and fans as we make an important playoff push, while also driving interest to an exciting, growing sport."
If accepted, the Lancers have also offered to host his friends and family through the duration of his stay.  With the per-game pay and bonuses, this offer will come close to the offer (per game) set by Turkish basketball team, Besiktas and ultimately keeping him the United States."


This brings up the age old question, Can Iverson play soccer? yes he possess elite quickness and toughness which if he didn't live his hole life already could've been trained to be one of the greats in the MLS. But people those are all "would've, and What-ifs" and cant change the past to see which Allen could've been better.


Anyone withe marketing knowhow would instantly see what this offer is. Its a publicity stunt to get a minor sports league trying to gain a foothold in the attention of the general sporting community. They want to use his name and what he used to be to make some money off of it. Their aim is to exploite the falling atlete in his time of need and exploite his name to get tickets sales.


Love or hate A.I. hes still one of the most important athletes of the past 25 years. and its sad that a man who once held so much swag, captivated millions over the NBA career can be turned into the punchline. He's fallen on bad times that the lifestyle put him in, but hes not perfect, and he is not a player that should be mocked. Show the man some respect for being the icon he once was, and for the man hes trying to become again, he deserves just aleast that.

Linsanity sweeps the Asian Nation

Completely unknown several weeks ago, the 23 year old point-guard, Jeremy Lin, is making a name for himself  as the Asian sensation. Lin, a Harvard grad, found himself without a team after the NBA-draft. However stardom finally came when the "Linsanity" swept the nation February 4th. Lin's number 17 jersey has been flying off the shelves ever since being sold at every corner of Chinatown, every shop in Hong Kong, and every sweat-shop in Taiwan.Stores cant keep him stocked.
Lin's story is more then just jersey, ticket and basketball sales. Lin has given Asian Americans something to look forward too now that Yao Ming has hung up his dunks. However the argument has begun between China and Taiwan over who the phenomenon represents in Asia-Land. Taiwan has had "emperor-Lin" on every newspaper and broadcasts all his games on every TV. Asia has found a hero.
Lin is definitely a different player in the NBA, which is predominantly dunked over by the African-American athletes with a few Caucasian players being average in things like passing and 3-point shots. Lin sits at a 6'2 200lbs which is very shy of the NBA average of 6'7, 230lb players. Lin looks like the typical little Asian man running between freakishly huge men.
It will be an interesting ride watching the Linsanity sweep the world. I myself will be jumping on the Lin bandwagon and seeing where this takes us. #Linning

"Linsanity" the song, makes your ears bleed
