TMV: Things That Are Pissing Me Off

What’s good, y’all? I decided to pop in and get some stuff off my chest…

This whole “pregnant man” thing bothers me to no end. I am not being judgemental, because I feel that people should do and be with whoever makes them happy…but why label him as a “pregnant man?” I know he took hormones, had surgeries, but he kept his female organs so he could carry a child…doesn’t that still make him a female? I guess I just have a problem with the label…

What the hell is wrong with Shaq? I love Shaq…have loved him since he came out of Louisiana State University and was drafted to Orlando. Loved him when he went to Los Angeles and took his side during all of that Kobe shit…and when he went to Miami, hated Kobe because he seemed to. But now? It seems as though he can’t let shit go. I know Shaq has a good heart (don’t ask me how I know…I just know) and I know that he is a good person, but like Stephen A. Smith said this morning, he is in jeopardy of damaging his legacy with this bullshit if he doesn’t bury it. Why does he feel the need to keep bringing it up? I know that when you feel like you’ve been wronged, it’s hard to ignore it. But dude…it’s been years! Shaq, baby…throw that shit away!

LeBron on the other hand says that he’s not ruling out leaving Cleveland after his contract expires. I hope that he doesn’t, and my feelings would be a little mixed if he did. I mean, on one hand, loyalty only gets you so far (Kevin Garnett)…on the other hand, Cleveland is his home…bump that. Bron, go get you a ring, baby! You deserve it! If they can’t bring it to you, you must go and find it.

Huge fail…

Why the hell would you even play with an animal like that?

Shaq definitely needs to let it go. He's lost his job and credibility with all the ranting.

I'm not up on Shaq's ranting, but I bet any news will do to keep you in the spotlight! :roll:

Yes, this "man having a baby" story is tired and overhyped. They are acting like a Mike had a baby.

And that snake....ARGH, my chest hurts. I feel like Fred Sanford. I showed my son and when the video was over he sitting there stilling waiting and said, "What?"

Urban Thought

Ask he/she what they want to be labeled. I'm saddened by the fact that it's news. I'm sure they want to get on with their lives and do their thing. But they put their business out in the street so I cannot say anything else to that.

Shaq is a big kid. He is acting like a big cry baby. Hopefully he'll find something else to occupy his time and mind and drop what ever bitterness is consuming him.

What is loyalty? Sometimes we forget that basketball is his job. Like most of us, if we aren't being fulfilled at our current place of employment we start to look elsewhere for more money and more reward.

I can't address the basketball I'm a basketball illiterate. the ma with baby thing is ridiculous. When a man really has a baby call me.

Good point about the pregnant man thing. The reason they are referring to her as a man because it's a hotter news story... it sells more papers, gets bigger ratings, etc.

I'm starting to wonder about Shaq. On one hand, he says he'd like to return to the Lakers once his contract with Phoenix is up. Then he blames the problems he had with Kobe on Laker coach Phil Jackson. I doubt if Phil is leaving the Lakers anytime soon so why throw the man who may be your future coach under the bus?

The best chance for LeBron to win a ring is if he leaves the Cavs. There is talk that Joe Dumars has plans to bring him to Detroit. That would be sweet!
