The Dirty Mack All-Stars Pt.1

I was doing some thinking after listening to a segment on the radio about r&b singers that did a lot of dirt. What do I mean by "dirt?" Actions that are deemed as despicable and just down right wrong as two left shoes. I'm talkin about blatantly singing about doing the things a chick's boyfriend won't do. Stealing a dude's girl from under him. Things like that. At the same time, though, he doesn't necessarily HAVE to have done those things. He just needs to have the potential to do so.

What sport, though, would the Dirty Mack All-Stars play, though? Football is too physical and they all have to work as a unit. A Dirty Mack has no problem blocking another dude's action so there's no way they can work together. Basketball would end up being nothing more than a poorly orchestrated street ball match-up with everybody trying to one-up each other. So what sport would they play? I'd probably say baseball.

Why baseball? Baseball is a team sport that still requires everybody to play as individuals to a certain extent. Sure, on defense they all have to work together. At the same time, though, they can still choose whether or not they want to impact the game or not. Plus it's easier to think of 9 guys as opposed to 11 or 12.

In Pt. 2 I'll reveal my list. In the meantime feel free to debate who you think should be on the team.

PLAYOFFS!!!!

So the NBA playoffs have begun and what's happened? U-P-S-E-T-S!!! UPSETS!!! It's a good thing, though. We've finally gotten to the point where nobody's getting blown out and the lower seed can hang with the higher seeds. This is a good thing, right? Of course it is! Sweeps have become kinda cliche. To me there is nothing more exciting than either a game 7 or seeing an upset.
