Video of the Day: ESPN Staffer Says What Everyone Outside Thinks on an ESPN Show

Hahahahaha!

This is easily the highlight of the day. A great way to wrap up what's otherwise been a crappy week.

We and many, many other blogs have often called out the folks at ESPN for an "East Coast bias" or in some cases just picking favorites or creating stories where stories don't exist.

And guess, what. One of their own called them out on it. On one of their own TV shows.

Watch what happens on the lame ESPN show called "Numbers Never Lie". (Yeah, we've never watched it either)

Anyway, filling in today was ESPN radio host and ESPN Women writer Sarah Spain who was on the panel with Michael Smith and Jorge Something or other.

For some reason, the subject of the show became Carmelo Anthony and the New York Knicks. A team not in the playoffs and who had a crappy season. Yet the two male co-hosts could only talk about what the Knicks could do if they were in the playoffs.

That opening was all Spain had to hear. She tore into the pair and into ESPN's "East Coast Bias" saying they'd rather talk about a New York team out of the playoffs than any of the teams in the playoffs. And that nobody cares about the Knicks right now, we can talk about them when we talk about NEXT season.

And she's right. Nobody outside the Northeastern U.S cares right now. Nobody.

Watch and smile like we did.

Carmelo Goes For 62 At MSG

((HT: MSG/NBA))

Carmelo Anthony had a bit of a busy night...

37 in the first half...that ended this way...


And ended this way...


62 points for a record at MSG beating Kobe Bryant and Bernard King...
Well, actually... it ended this way... postgame interviews are like that...


As his 62 was half of the Knicks output in a 125-96 win over Charlotte...
Anthony was the only Knick to shoot attempts in double figures in both field goals and free throws... as a matter of fact, JR Smith was the only other Knick to shoot a free throw...

Just one...

ICYMI: Carmelo Anthony being investigated for being stupid

The NBA is looking into a Monday night incident after the Boston Celtics/New York Knicks game involving Carmelo Anthony and Kevin Garnett.

Anthony appears to have tracked Garnett down after the game and went screaming after him  underneath the stands, near the Celtics team bus at Madison Square Garden.

The act was said to be payback for a double tech called on the duo during the 4th quarter of the game won by the Celtics 102-96.

As the game ended, rather than take part in the post-game handshake, Anthony made a beeline for the locker room and waited to pounce.

The two were separated before any punches were thrown, but there was a bit of a chaotic scrum under the stands.

The NBA is investigating the incident and don't be surprised if more than one person loses a few dollars and maybe a game or two.

Carmelo Cheap-Shotted In Argentina Game

The men's basketball team was well on its way to plowing Argentina...

The 42-17 margin in the third quarter was the decider...
But it wasn't the score that got the guys fired up...
It's what happened at the end of the quarter that wasn't Luis Scola's fault...
((HT: IOC/NBCSN/youtube))


The HQ completely understands the desire to kick ass...

"Nobody takes cheap shots like that," Anthony said at Tuesday's practice. "That was a cheap shot. He got one, he took it, he got away with it. There's nothing we can do about it."

Argentinian guard Facundo Campazzo said after the game he apologized to Kobe Bryant but not to Anthony, because Chris Paul hadn't apologized for punching him earlier in the game.

Well, that should settle it...

Haha! Carmelo Anthony scares fans at Wax Museum

Apparently New York Knicks forward Carmelo Anthony warrants a wax figure at the famous Madame Tussauds Museum in New York.

Really?

Anthony spent some time yesterday at the Museum...basically messing with fans as they walked by.

Without getting into the debate as to whether or not he is worthy of being immortalized (he's not), we give you the video, because really, it's kind of funny, though we might add 'Melo needs to work a bit on his timing.
