The Word According To J. HOVA

Regarding: LeBron teases Knicks, Nets fans

In response to:
LeBron teases Knicks, Nets fans
During his tour of Manhattan, LeBron James had fun teasing Knicks and Nets fans yesterday about the prospect of playing in the Big Apple in 2010 when he becomes a free agent. When asked his favorite city, King James listed New York No. 1. But when asked his favorite borough, James said Brooklyn, where the Nets plan to open shop in 2010. Knicks president Donnie Walsh's every move is designed to make sure they are enough under the cap to go after James as a free agent. The hiring of the popular D'Antoni was done partly to entice King James. The Nets are in better position for now after dealing Richard Jefferson Thursday and with minority owner Jay-Z one of James' best friends.

Regarding: St. John's coach on hot seat

In response to:
St. John's coach on hot seat
St. John's is 10-16 after Saturday's 30-point loss at Duke, and a dialogue about the program's future is percolating. In high school gyms, on the talk-radio airwaves and among St. John's most loyal and influential supporters, the question is asked whether the school will stick with Norm Roberts or make a change. A determination probably is still weeks away and the value of Roberts' successes and failures will be measured by the university president, the Rev. Donald J. Harrington, and athletic director, Chris Monasch.

Pryor Engagement

O.K., you can guess by my title what I am going to be talking about here. You guessed it, Terrelle Pryor. As we all know, he has decided to delay signing with a school and has until April 1 to make up his mind. The sad thing about this is that he has left himself open to criticism from the press, and internet bulletin boards like this one. The reason why I say sad is that he's just a kid. He's a child, and apparently a very confused one. This is a big decision. For those on this site who are old enough to be in college, attended college, or graduated from college the decision on where you are going to spend the next four years of your life is a huge one. I will speak for myself, and tell you that it took me weeks of going back and forth over my acceptance letters before I finally decided upon the school. I didn't regret my decision, and there is no need for Terrelle to regret his.

Megalomania: NFL Style

Megalomania (according to Wikipedia) is defined as a psychopathological condition characterized by delusions of wealth, power, genius, or omnipotence. This term is also defined as delusions of grandeur. Those who are megalomanics are often manic and paranoid. Well, what does this have to do with sports you might ask? This week we have seen two owners in the National Football League display their megalomaniac ways at the expense of their teams.

Attorney accuses Pacman of punch
The NFL has indicated Commissioner Roger Goodell intends to review the status of Pacman Jones after the Pro Bowl on Feb. 10. Goodell could be looking at a player facing a new criminal charge. Attorney Wanda S. Jackson alleges the suspended Titans cornerback sucker-punched her at an Atlanta strip club Jan. 3 and is seeking an arrest warrant. A judge will review Jackson's application Feb. 8 and determine whether a warrant will be issued, a Fulton County, Ga., Magistrate Court official said. Jackson told police she was at Body Tap strip club handling a divorce case that involved Jones, who is not married, and suffered a bruise around her left eye during the alleged altercation.
