Kobe "Apologizes" to Kupchak

Kobe held a press conference last week "apologizing" to Lakers GM Mitch Kupchak for comments he has made about him and the organization recently. After listening to what he said, he sounded more remorseful that the comments were leaked on Youtube and not for the comments themselves.

I think he was really thinking...

Mitch, I'm sorry you had to hear my feelings through the internet like that. Those assholes told me they were taking pictures while they were filming me. Who knew phones recorded videos nowdays? These whippersnappers and their gadgets... damn meddling kids.

Anyway, I'm not here to apologize for the comments. I'm just mad they made the internet. Don't get it twisted. You're still a terrible GM who is wasting my prime by acquiring talent meant to do well in the future as opposed to concentrating on current success. Trading for Kwame Brown was an awful move, drafting Bynum was ill-advised, and not trading Bynum for Kidd was downright silly. Smush Parker as our starting point guard? HAHAHAHA. You do know the Lakers aren't in the D-league right? You can get NBA-quality guards if you want to.

I am apologizing, but you're still an idiot. Remember that, ok? I hope we're on the same page now.

Oh, and I still want out, but not to the Bulls. I don't think Scott Skiles and I would get along. He likes ball movement.

Well, make something happen, Mitch! You'll probably fuck it up anyway. Whatever.

Yes, these were the thoughts of the best in the game. He told me so in a video (coming to Youtube soon!).

About this blog...

With apologies to Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken, I need LESS cowbell. In sports commentary, that is.

Yes, this is another sports blog. It's the only thing I know well enough to write about and have people care about the topics. I figure I'm ready to waste time writing my own material rather than waste time reading or commenting on someone else's.

The banging cowbell is a really annoying sound; Phil Jackson could tell you all about it (yeah I'm talkin' about you, Sacramento King fan). Like the cowbell, some people's voices are also annoying, but worse because people can annoy your soul as well as your eardrums.

I can't help responding to the silliness that's so prevalent in sports media and fan opinion. There is too much guilt by accusation and assumption, too little patience to judge, too much condemnation without understanding, too little consideration of facts. This is the cowbell of which I need less (yes, I'm an ardent grammarian. 10th grade English changed my life).

But all that is to be expected from people. It's nothing new. I just try to be a voice of reason and relative objectivity.

Unless the topic concerns the best in the game of basketball, the Black Mamba, the pin cushion of American sports, Kobe Bryant. Readers should know that I will most likely provide support to Kobe for issues pertaining to Kobe. He's a persecuted man who needs more defense (out of the courtroom).

I hope that I'm an interesting read and that many people see what I have to say. And if you do comment, please be respectful. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, so no personal attacks are necessary. Unless you're a Kobe hater.
