" DENIED TWICE! "

" DAMN!!!! FIRST NO RING! THEN NO JOB! "

As if it couldn't get worst for NY Knicks legend Patrick who was recently rumored to be interviewing for the Michael's Jordan's Charlotte Bobcats. From their fierce battles against Patrick's Knicks and Michael's Bulls were the best rivalries in the in NBA past. But Micheal has won 6 titles and Patrick? Well not one! But wait, It gets worst! Patrick was a clear favorite to win the head coach vacancy left by the last coach who was fired (Paul Silas) who lead the Bobcats to their worst franchise record 7-59.

And then, the Charlotte Bobcats President of Basketball Operations Rod Higgins says the team will hire a new head coach within the next couple of weeks, but it won't be Patrick Ewing.Higgins said that owner Michael Jordan informed Ewing that the team plans to hire someone other than him to replace Paul Silas. Exactly who that is remains to be seen.Higgins says ''Patrick has a lot of great qualities as a coach and he will one day be a head coach.''The Bobcats have interviewed eight candidates for the job and plan to talk with more in the next week or so. Once they conclude that process, they'll narrow the list down to the final few candidates who will then meet with Jordan face-to-face before a final decision is made.

Wait! there might be a light at the end of the story and it's called KARMA! Last night Micheal's Bobcats were denied themselves losing the NBA draft lottery to the New Orleans Hornets who are gauranteed to pick the 2012 #1 pick in the draft. Sorry Patrick, we will keep rooting for you to get a head coaching job soon!

" SHOULD HE KEEP IT? OR NOT? "

"JUSTIN COMBS IS UNDER SCRUTINY OVER BEING AWARDED $54,000 IN SCHOLARSHIP MONEY"

Rap star and business entrepreneur Sean "Diddy" Combs is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. So, why was his son given a full athletic scholarship to UCLA? School officials are defending that decision.

The 5'9", 170-lb 18-year-old cornerback graduated from the all-male Iona Preparatory School in New Rochelle, New York last week and is set to enroll in UCLA on June 24. "Athletic scholarships are awarded to students strictly on the basis of their athletic and academic ability, and not on a student's financial need," UCLA said in a statement. According to the school, its athletic scholarships are entirely funded by athletic department ticket sales, corporate partnerships, media contacts and private donations from supporters.
UCLA officials said the university awards about 285 full athletic scholarships every year to outstanding student athletes. The Combs family has not issued a comment.

Combs, who also served as a backup quarterback, also received offers to play football for other colleges such as the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Tennessee Tech University. He announced in early 2011 that he was committing to the Bruins, adding that he would be closer to his father. The merit-based full athletic scholarship covers annual tuition and fees, as well as room and board. Its $54,000 sum matches what an out-of-state student residing on campus would pay annually. A California resident living in a dorm at UCLA pays about $31,902 a year. The Combs family has not issued a comment.

SO IF HE EARNED IT SHOULDN'T HE KEEP IT? OR GIVE IT BACK???

" LIKE THIS!!! " THUGS POST CRIME RANTS ON FACEBOOK LEADS TO ARREST

HOW STUPID COULD YOU BE?

The Brooklyn DA's office and NYPD revealed that they arrested 14 members of a "violent Crown Heights gang known as the Brower Boys. The suspects, the youngest of whom is 13, would break into apartments and, in one case, they raped a woman during a home invasion. They were discovered thanks to their Facebook bragging. Police Commissioner Ray Kelly says, “Although some were as young as 13, the Brower Boys were old hands at burglaries and worse victimizing neighbors, but making the mistake of fighting over the proceeds on Facebook, which led keen NYPD Anti-Crime officers in the 77th Precinct to monitor and arrest them." More specifically, the Daily News reports one suspect wrote, "It's break-in day on the avenue," on Facebook and "The dopey burglars apparently didn’t clam up after two other Brooklyn gangs were busted for touting their exploits on Twitter and other sites. Some even joked they could be targets." Kelly said, "They talked about the possibility of the Brower Boys being next and they signed their messages with LOL, laughing out loud." Police captured video of the gang breaking in

"BREAST FEEDING MILITARY MOM'S MORAL OBLIGATION OR CONTROVERSY HYPE?"

WILL THIS BE A COMMON TREND IN THE U.S. MILITARY OR IN AMERICA PERIOD?

So has anyone seen the Time magazine cover of a 26 year old mom breating feeding her 3 year old son? So I havea question? "Are moms in America taking a a new approach in nursing their kids in public?" on recent article featured in Today (MSNBC) features military women breating feeding their children in their uniforms. These photos have spark a national outrage amongst many Americans. So is this "fair" or "unfair" these women who are public figures making the right decision to breast feed their child in public and possibly facing a ton of criticism for their moral acts. So who will follow these brave women? Public Librarians? Female Postal Carriers? Or will the next time anyone is walking down the street and see a female police officer pull out one of her breast to feed her child  in the back of a police car should we see it as a normal act or frown upon viewing such act? I will let you be the judge?

 "PLAID'ING IT FOR THE SUMMER TIME"

So ladies as the summer swiftly approaches different types of styles will come into this season of fashion for the season of summer. But one fashion style will be sure to make a lot of headway is "Plaid" , which used to be soley worn by those who lived in the deep south (Tennessee, Alabama Texas) are now bring the plaid fashion crazy up to the northern cities (New York, Philly, Chicago) to make it the latest urban fashion craze for women. Plaid shirts can be worn with mostly anything from fitted jeans, leggings, short shorts, or even capri's. A basic look to this style is to wear it as comfortable as you can perferably with jeans along with a pair of sexy wedges, sneakers, heels or even boots depending if you want to get your "Daisy Dukes" on?! I've also seen women that will wear this style of shirt with a more fitted look to the office with a nice pair of slacks and heels. The Plaid style a fashion that was and still commonly worn by men, and now is being heavily favored by women these days.

THE SKINNY ON SKINNY JEANS

WHAT IS TOO SKINNY FOR YOU?

The debate will rage on as to whether or not skinny jeans are healthy for women or men? I Know I love to see women like Halle, Kim, Sofia, and Amber in some nice pair of "skinny jeans" In an article posted in the ny daily news notes that this dilema can have a long term effects on person male or female. Doctors suggest that wearing skinny jeans too much might cause nerve damage in the later future and anyone who experience should consider getting rid  of the sooner than later. But the jeans business this is big money and you can't go anywhere in the city and not see a skinny jean sale in H&M, The Gap, Forever 21, Express and other fashion stores. But who knows maybe one day we will wake up and the skinny jean fad will just magiaclly disappear or maybe not! Who knows if this fad will ever go away? or will it be a remaining fad for years to come?

"TEAM BREEZY vs. TEAM LEGEND"

CHRIS BROWN URGES HIS FANS TO STOP SENDING DEATH THREATS TO JOHN LEGEND'S FIANCE CHRISSY TEIGEN.

Chris Brown has called for a cease-fire after his fans bombarded model Chrissy Teigen with death threats following her criticism of the singer at Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards. Teigen, a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model and fiancee of singer John Legend, sparked fury amongst Brown’s fans, who call themselves “Team Breezy,” after she took a jab at the singer’s lip-synced performance. "So excited to see Chris Brown! I love loud and surprising background fits of rage I can hear from the audience!" she tweeted, before adding: “Why sing when you can dance?”

Teigen’s comments were enough to enrage Brown’s passionate fan base, who flooded the model with a flurry of malicious expletive-laden and threatening tweets.“I'm so disturbed. I am not picking on anyone or telling ANYONE to hate the dude,” Teigen  wrote. “I've had comments ranging from "kill yourself you stupid H-" to "gold digging c--t" "get a f---ing job", etc. because I don't like him?”

"Reallllly makes me sad that 99% of the most disturbing comments come from young girls," the model pointed out. “You guys are too young for this shit. too f---ing young. how you can even form these sentences at someone you don't know makes me so sad,” she continued.
The magnitude of the messages reached an all-time high by Tuesday when Brown took to Twitter to urge his fans to stop the harassment."Team Breezy! Lets stop sending death threats!" Brown wrote. "I know y'all bout that life but it's the wrong message! Ur turning haters into victims!"
He added, "And that only furthers their pointless existence!"

Legend also logged onto the social networking site to defend his fiance, writing: "Personally, I don't think @chrissyteigen's existence is pointless. Nor anyone else who dares criticize a performance."
“Every artist has to be ok with the fact that some people won't like their work. All critics aren't 'haters.' "
"And don't ever tell me to put my 'b---h on a leash,' " he added, referencing the messages he received from Brown’s angry fans. "She's a grown woman with her own mind and her own opinions and this is not 1950.”

" RESPECT FOR THE ANSWER! "

ALLEN IVERSON MAKES AN EMOTIONAL RETURN TO PHILLY FOR GAME 6!

Allen Iverson presented the Game Ball at the Celtics-Sixers Game 6 Showdown and  received a heartfelt ovation from the fans. Maybe some good ol’ AI Magic rubbed off, as the Sixers won and forced a Game 7 with the Celtics. Iverson cupped his hand to his ear and received the loudest ovation of the night. He watched the game from a suite and his eyes watered up when he was shown later in the game on the big screen as the crowd, thousands wearing a No. 3 jersey, went wild and chanted, ”MVP!” Iverson posted on Twitter, ”You can always come home again!!!”

A more revealing moment came during a second-quarter interview with Lisa Salters on ESPN’s telecast.
Asked if he was retired, Iverson told Salters:“I’m not using that word. I wanna play basketball so bad. The way it is right now, I’ve accepted the fact [the NBA] may not happen, but I still want to play basketball. If I can get an opportunity to where it’s gonna make me happy at the end of my career, I’ll take that opportunity.”

ASTON MARTIN DBS (007 CASINO ROYALE EDITION)

As Aston Martin is getting ready for a big finale of the DBS line with its DBS Ultimate model, German tuning house Anderson Germany is launching their own version of the modern classic. Inspired by none other than Her Majesty’s secret agent, James Bond 007, Anderson Germany utilized the DBS Platinum Grey Edition as the base and created the DBS Casion Royale.  Fitted with a fine-tuned ECU and premium exhaust system, the upgrade boosted power output from 510 horsepower to 564 horsepower. But the most distinguishable feature is matte black exterior finish, contrasted by semi-glossy accents in grey throughout the body. ANDERSON GERMANY then paired off the design perfectly with a set of  21-inch five-spoke wheels in black. Interior upgrades include carbon fiber accents along with leather upholstery with bronze stitching.

If you are looking for a DBS that will stand out from the rest and just landed with a few thousand shares of Facebook stocks, you should get in contact with Anderson Germany to place an order today.

BROOKLYN NETS BARCLAY ARENA ALMOST COMPLETED!

From outside it may look like a spacecraft of outter space landed in the middle of Brooklyn, to others it looks like an enmorous steel structure of an arena that is hardly complete. But that is hardly the truth. The tranformation of this arena has taken shape almost overnight. I've seen this project of the new Brooklyn Nets arena transform right infront of my eyes, because I work literaly right across the street. Everyday I come into work and see another added demension to this master piece of art that will be home of Jay-Z's Brooklyn Nets starting in November 2012. This arena will change the colture of Brooklyn forever. So here are some pictures of the almost complete stadium (inside and out) call it what you want.

 I call it HOME!
