Luck Runs Out for Lucky

Lucky is no more! Sources report that the Boston Celtics and Damon Blust (formerly "Lucky") have split up. They say that he apparently missed a few team appearances or something. If you ask me, I think someone in the Celtics organization is an avid follower of 3DWaB, read my post about how Lucky is not lucky, and then came to the realization that he really does suck at life.

This is the best news I've heard all day.

People Who Should NOT Be Fired: Micah Grimes

Micah Grimes, the coach of the girls' basketball team that owned an opponent 100-0 recently, was fired because of how he handled the blowout victory. In an open letter responding to his coaching performance, Grimes writes...

"We started the game off with a full-court press. After 3 minutes into play, we had already reached a 25-0 lead. Like any rational thinking coach would do, I immediately stopped the full-court press, dropped into a 2-3 zone defense, and started subbing in my 3 bench players. This strategy continued for the rest of the game and allowed the Dallas Academy players to get the ball up the court for a chance to score. The second half started with a score of 59-0. Seeing that we would win by too wide of a margin, running down the clock was the only logical course of action left. Contrary to the articles, there were only a total of four 3 point baskets made; three is the first quarter, and only 1 in the 3rd quarter. I continued to sub in bench players, play zone defense, and run the clock for the rest of the game."

This sounds like a good coach who unfortunately played a school that doesn't deserve to have a team. Fire that coach. 100-0? You could have me and my buddies play the Celtics and I guarantee we don't lose that bad.

Oh, and icing on the cake. The girls who LOST - featured on every major news network and are now national heroes.

People Who Should Be Fired: Cliff Stearns

Stearns, a Republican from Ocala, wrote to U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday asking her to move votes scheduled for Thursday evening and Friday so House members from Florida and Oklahoma can go to the Bowl Championship Series national title game.

Stearns wrote, “As you may be aware, on Thursday January 8, the University of Florida and the University of Oklahoma will play for the national football championship. Members of the Florida and Oklahoma delegations have expressed interest in attending the game as the congressional schedule allows. However, votes are currently scheduled to continue into Thursday night and Friday afternoon. We ask that you move these votes to either Wednesday and/or Thursday morning to allow Members to attend this historic game.”

Seriously? I mean, I'm a pretty big sports fan and I've even skipped work for a celebratory parade or two in my day. But you're a congressman in the US House of Representatives and during one of the worst economic periods in our country's history, you want two days off so you can watch a college football game?? Thankfully, the House Speaker denied his request. I mean, this is like asking your mom to skip two days of high school during finals week. Of course the answer is no. Cliff Stearns should be fired for even asking.
