Slacker Sports is now on Twitter
Thats right, Slacker Sports is on Twitter as of today (8/28/10). I have so many thoughts and points throughout the day, so I thought I would bring Slacker sports to twitter. Maybe this will help expand Slacker Sports. Over the past year Slacker Sports has had visitors from Spain, Netherlands, Brazil, Canada, and many more countries. Slacker Sports gets visitors from many states as well. For some reason Slacker Sports is a hit in Tennessee. The tag is SlackerSports for Twitter.
Quick Hits
There are a couple of the things that I would like to touch on. The Florida Gators, Chad Ocho Cinco, and Marcus Jordan, the son of Michael Jordan.
Earlier this week the Florida Gators had 2 freshman by the names of Ronald Powell, and Dominque Easley boycott practice. Apparently these 2 highly taunted freshman players were upset at the way they were treated by the coaches on special teams on Monday night. It gets better, these 2 along with Sharif Floyd were center of attention on media day because these 3 highly taunted players made comments that make head coaches cringe. Dominque told the media that Ronald was like Chris Bosh, Sharif is like Dwayne Wade, and I am like Lebron James. Yes, 3 players that are freshman who haven't even played a snap of Division 1 football is comparing themselves to 3 players that are professional athletes and are all-stars. All I have to say is I am thankful that I will never hear something like that out of Iowa City. So Dominque and Ronald got their feelings hurt at practice on monday night, then boycotted practice, and even threatened to transfer. I don't care if you are a highly touted 5 star recruit coming in, last time I checked you are at one of the best programs in the SEC, and country. The head coach has won some titles, they are called National Titles, and he has won everywhere he has been. So for you, who hasn't proven anything yet, to think you are all high and mighty. If my name was Urban Meyer, I would say bye bye, good luck at Central Florida, because nobody is going to want you now, have fun competing for Conference USA titles while us Gators will be playing for National Titles. Urban Meyer did say that "you have 25 new guys and they think they will dominate like they did in high school. They have no idea what is about to hit them".What has happened to these kids? I got yelled at by the coaches, and teammates at times in high school, and I still showed up the next day.
If you ever wanted to know why Michael Jordan's son's will never be NBA stars, I have the answer. Most star athletes have to work hard to get where they are. Some have to work extremely hard because they may not have the same freakish talent. Couple examples, about 8 years ago, you could say Tracy McGrady has the same talent as Kobe Bryant. Differences is Kobe worked harder, found that mental edge, and became a star. McGrady I don't think did anything, but sign contracts for a lot of money. Kobe wanted to win, McGrady seemed find playing for less talented teams for more money. So Marcus Jordan had put on his twitter account that he spent $35,000 in one night at Haze nightclub in Las Vegas. The 19 year old sophomore guard at Central Florida is being investigated by the Nevada Gaming Control Board. Marcus doesn't have to work hard to make the NBA, he is already living like a NBA millionaire. Michael may want to cut back his allowance.
Here is a positive story that nobody will tell you because they only report the bad. Chad Ocho Cinco has his own Cereal that is coming out Sept. 7th at Kroger Grocery Stores and on-line. All proceeds go to Feed The Children program. He may be an ego-maniac, but he is doing something good too.
