I have given birth to Coop's Sports Scoop

Okay, I'm looking for an outlet. I'm watching the Lakers-Spurs game right now on TNT, and I need to vent. I'm a huge Lakers fan, and I hate the Spurs. Hate is actually putting it nicely. I have no one to turn to. I need my son to grow up fast and begin to appreciate basketball. The Spurs are bad for basketball. They play an ugly brand of ball. Wait...what in the world is Craig Sager wearing? Who dresses him? There are SEA SHELLS on his tie. The best part is that Phil Jackson can't keep a strait face during his interview with Sager. Sager must have bought his suit from the Bass Pro Shop. I have all these negative thoughts going through my head, and I need to post them. It will be part of my repentance process. I'll post them as they come to me.

Brent Barry meet rebound. Rebound meet Brent Barry. Wow, Brent Barry just grabbed his first rebound of the season. I can't wait until Brent retires and joins his brother Jon in the broadcast booth. Maybe they can promote their dad's Better Basketball videos. Can you think of two players more undeserving of NBA championship rings than Brent Barry and Jacque Vaughn? Jacque, less donuts...more jumpshots. I can't wait to see how big his butt gets after he retires.

Why isn't Mr. Longaria playing? Tony, Tony, Tony. How long will Eva and Tony's marriage last? Seriously, she's a desperate housewife. He was born in France. I give it two years. I wanted so badly to compare the length of their marriage to the amount of time France lasted in WWII. Wait, I guess I just did. Wave the white flag Tony.

Manu Ginobili just held a Laker and got away with it. Surprise, surprise. He'd make a great offensive lineman for the Denver Broncos! The only other player in the NBA who gets away with more holding than Ginobilli is Bruce Bowen. I'm telling you, the Spurs are playing the wrong sport. They could have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. Speaking of Bowen...when did he learn how to dribble and use his left hand.

Noooooooooooooooo! Strike up the circus music...Vladimir Radmanovic has the ball. Wait, he just shot it at the wrong hoop. He is a space cadet. Phil refers to Vladi as "My Favorite Martian."

Bowen just hit another shot. Are you kidding me? Bowen is having the game of his life. Wipe that ugly grin off your face. I want to pluck that little mustache off his face with my wife's tweezers.

Laker guard Jordan Farmar wore a mic for tonight's game as a part of NBA Heritage Week. Oh, the things I could type right now. TNT showed a little segment on the evolution of player's shorts, and of course they showed John Stockton with his tiny little shorts. Memories. It was great. Do you think Stockton would have allowed TNT to mic him up? No way! How does the mic thing work? Where would you clip a mic on a player? Jockstrap? That would be my guess. Probably not the best idea. Farmar was begging for the ball during the entire game.

Matt Bonner plays in the NBA. Yes, you read that correctly. Matt Bonner is an NBA player. What's happened to this league? He's got to be the first redhead in the league since Bill Walton. Throw it down big fella.

Movie trailer update. Alien vs. Predator 2 is coming out on Christmas. Perfect. I'm speechless. Do people actually watch this garbage? I guess this is the second coming of King Kong vs. Godzilla.

Grab the popcorn and soda...your feature presentation is about to begin...Another Spur Temper Tantrum...Bowen just threw his arms up in the air and stomped his feet. Hilarious! I'm trying to come up with a better description but can't find the words. It's just something you needed to see. My three-year-old would be proud. Stop crying Spurs. Thank goodness the biggest cry baby is out tonight...Tiny Tim Duncan.

Are you kidding me? Andrew Bynum just got thrown out. Just once I want to see a ref get tossed from a game.

Lakers hang on for their fourth consecutive victory. Things are good in Lakerland. Kobe just called a press conference to declare he's happy in Los Angeles. . . and that "My guys and I -- we have such a tight bond." Sure. My guys? As long as they're passing you the ball and getting out of the way. The Kobe drama continues. Check your local listings for time and day. Please feel free to post your comments on my current topic or anything you'd like to bring up in the world of sports.
