The Worst Sport teams in History

Sports team loyalties can be forged during all sorts of situations. You root for the home team, your adopted home team, your college, your high school, your father's favorite team, the franchise that keeps winning, etc. But what do you do if your team is the worst?

That is the question that Buccaneer, Clippers, Houston Texans,Charlotte Bobcat and Memphis Grizzly fans have been facing since the creation of their particular franchise. The Los Angeles Clippers founded in 1971 have only won overall about 36% of their games. The last winning season was in 1981, a crowning achievement for a decade of failure. But the Clippers are not the worst team in sports history. In fact, the Los Angeles Clippers rank number four out of five of the Worst Teams In History, according to Yahoo News reporter Monte Burke.
The worst team in history, is the Memphis Grizzlies. Winning less than a third of games played in their 14 year tenure, the honor may be deserved. Fans blame it on the thrifty management style, or the loss of interest. I just think its a case of the Memphis blues.
Number three on the list is the Houston Texans and their depressing stats are surely that to blame. Their fanbase has suffered, their blog only has about 11 followers.
The Charlotte Bobcats have sunk their claws into spot number two, on the Worst Teams in History list. They are however a fairly new organisation, created about four years ago. A few stars have pledged to help the team out. Michale Jourdan can be seen at the top box quite often. Hopefully through his encouragement the team can raise their dismal stats.
The fifth spot on the list belongs to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Their fans seem to be a little more involved than the Texans,new posts appear quite often and enthusticastically. Maybe next season will be better. We can only hope.

Gym, a poem

The schedule is nothing special, just mat ball and outside days
These pursuits seem to be the range of our activities
I remember when substitutes where a weekly occurrence
Now I remember the illusive Donahue with abhorrence
Rumors abound but we know for sure she's done for the year
Though I know no highschooler can harm me while Gardner is near
Highschoolers are scary,and that is a fact
But I'm almost a freshmen so that isn't quite the appropriate tact
I think the worst part of gym is how we're being graded
I guess its good I've participated
So I'll take these last seven days with a grudging endurance
And hope that the gym program is something we can better finance

17 Again?

Big talent, teenage heart throb-Zac Effron seems recession proof. He also seems a little too mature and talented for the role he plays in 17 Again. The idea for the film is eerily similar to 13 Going On 30 . Here Zac plays Michale O'Donnell a typical middle aged man newly fired from his job, and struggling with a pending divorce and two teenage children.
Effron, though 21 can just about pull off being a 17 year old but the stretch is disconcerting. When reincarnated as his teenage self Mike and his exwife Scarlette have some interesting scenes. I find them just more than a little gross, but the audience around me seemed to find it hilarious.
The dialogue is lacking. The word "dude" is a redundancy of the very worst sort. The characters are only a step ahead of being transparent.
Overall, its a cute flick. Effron fans will undoubtedly agree.

A Movie Reveiw for I Love You, Man

I Love You , Man, is a new breed of comedy. The movie revolves around a "bromance" between the friendly Peter ( Paul Rudd) and Sydney ( Jason Segal). Now, "bromances" are strictly non gay loving interactions between two men. Peter and Sydney go on hilarious "man dates" in which they watch tragic movies and weep over fine wines.
All of this bromancing is not lost on Peter's kind natured fiancee Zooey ( Radisha Jones) and her reactions becoming increasingly paranoid ( and highly amusing).
This movie is a celebration of friendship, emotional men and the situations these men seem to find themselves in! I Love You , Man is a refreshing break from all the tasteless comedies that seem to find themselves in theaters today.I was happy to find that this movie had a real plot. That alone is enough to set it apart.
The only problem I have with this movie is its predictability. However, if you are in the mood for a feel good theater experience, I Love You, Man will not fail to please.

A reveiw of Narrow Stairs, Death Cab for Cutie

With the music industry in shambles , quality in the industry is getting harder to procure. Albums are being picked apart by single hungry DJ's and little deserving talent is showcased appropriately. One of these under appreciated , but unquestionably worthy albums is Death Cab for Cutie's, Narrow Stairs.
Seance being released in May of last year more than a few hits have come from it. The most current of these being Cath. However, I will posses your heart, did just that for many fans of main stream music.
Both tracks fit seamless unto a album crafted both beautifully lyrically and musically. I cannot wait to see what Death Cab for Cutie has left for us.

Michael Jackson disease-becomes epidemic

The iconic Michael Jackson has left more to the world than the 25th anniversary edition of the Thriller DVD. In a recent announcement Jackson’s publicist brought the faded star into the eyes the public again. She explained that Jackson was in the process of becoming a “lecturer” to help the mainstream society accept the “horrible fate” that he and many other celebrities have suffered after “necessary” plastic surgeries. Jackson finally lost his much operated on shnose last June at a red carpet event last June. Since then many of Jackson’s celebrity friends have suffered the same fate. Jessica Simpson and Lindsay Lohan are among some of the victims of poor plastic surgery.
