Yesterday’s highly anticipated start to the 2011 – 2012 NBA season brought as much Yuletide cheer to basketball fans watching the five game marathon on TNT, ABC and ESPN as a shovel full of coal in a Christmas stocking hanging from the fireplace.
Following an abbreviated pre-season due to a protracted labor negotiation, yesterday’s games were definitely not pretty. In a league touted as the place where “amazing happens,” little if anything witnessed by TV viewers came close to qualifying as amazing.
Let’s face it. Teams weren’t ready, play was sloppy, guys aren’t in shape and pandering sportscasters made excuses for the lackluster play.
The 5 bill of games resembled lumps of coal in a Christmas stocking rather than glittering gifts basketball fans had eagerly anticipated.
Here’s my list of the Top Ten Lumps of Christmas Coal from yesterday’s day long basketball coverage:
Lump #1 – the old, slow-footed, out-of-sync Boston Celtics playing without star Paul Pierce that barely resembled a perrenial NBA elite team.
Lump #2 – the older, slower-footed, more out-of-sync Dallas Mavericks, starting this season without stars Tyson Chandler and J.J. Barea from last year’s championship squad, struggled and played poorly on the same day the team unfurled its 2010 – 2011 NBA Championship banner before the game.
Lump #3 – the young, fleet-footed and anxiously anticipated new kids on the block in Southern California, the LA Clippers, should have appeared during prime time rather than nearing midnight so East Coast viewers could enjoy “Lob City” before calling it a day.
Lump #4 – Lamar Odom, the NBA’s “original Mrs. Kardashian” (sorry, Kris!) and normally mellow former Los Angeles Laker, got booted out of his first game as a Mav. Not even the cantankerous Mark Cuban could support such inexcusable behavior, Christmas Day or not.
Lump #5 – Kevin Garnett, always a trash talking instigator but never a fighter, should get his come-uppence later this week by facing a fine and possible suspension for foolishly swinging at New York Knicks’ Billy Walker following Garnett’s missed game winning shot at Madison Square Garden.
Lump #6 – Lebron James’ James Harden impersonation or whatever you call his new beard. Why would this extraordinarily talented, oft-maligned and misunderstood NBA superstar subject himself to future media lampooning and disparagement by sporting such unnecessary facial hair.
Lump #7 – Dwight Howard, a major distraction to his very own team for pining to be traded out of Orlando as the new season starts, once again demonstrated little leadership and less offensive skill against a superior OKC Thunder squad.
Lump #8 – Shaq, an unmitigated disaster in his debut as TNT’s new basketball talking head. Inarticulate and nervous behind the TNT desk, the Big Fella looked terribly uncomfortable in the broadcast booth and needs to be operating freestyle away from the set to best utilize his insight and talent.
Lump #9 – Kobe Bryant, arguably the game’s best finisher, enjoyed an earlier than expected Christmas dinner when Chicago Bulls’ forward Luol Deng stuffed his potential game winning shot down his throat following Kobe’s eighth turnover that led to Derrick Rose’s game winner with 4 seconds left.
Lump #10 – ABC and ESPN announcers constantly made excuses for yesterday’s consistently below average play while shamelessly pandering to an angry, agitated Kobe Bryant on Christmas Day. On a holiday when family and faithfulness were being collectively celebrated, the network could have easily interviewed and reported on a more deserving – and better behaved - family man.
The overall play in the 5 bill Christmas Day coverage fell way short of NBA fans’ expectations yesterday. Kinda like when an adoring wife expects to be “amazed” by a diamond ring from Tiffany’s jewelers and what “happens” instead is she’s surprised by a cubic zirconia from Walmart.
However, despite those Christmas clumps of coal we witnessed yesterday, what did arise for basketball fans is what should become this NBA season’s glimmering diamond – the Miami Heat. Without the hype, minus the fanfare and missing last year’s bravado, King James and company impressed all NBA viewers with their easy dismantling of the last year’s champ, the Dallas Mavericks.
Yes, the Heat should gleam as the NBA’s diamond this year while causing fear and leaving lumps (though not necessarily of coal) in the throats of all would be challengers for the 2012 NBA Championship in June.

“Sports has the power to change the world.”
So says 1993 Nobel Peace Prize recipient and former South African President Nelson Mandela, who uttered the words many have lauded as the most poignant sports quote ever. But the famous quote, intended to extol the virtues of sports as an agent for moral integrity and positive social change, is of late coming under attack and demonstrating just how powerful sports can be to the contrary, at least here in America.
Recent reports of sordid behavior from star athletes, sports icons, trusted coaches and storied institutions have sullied the public’s perception and caused many to mutter that sports also has the power to change the world…..for the worse.
Recent scandals in the news include home run king Barry Bonds’ sentencing on a perjury conviction, Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd’s arrest on drug trafficking, University of Notre Dame’s beloved football icon Rudy Ruettiger’s $382,000+ settlement with the SEC for bilking investors, MLB MVP Ryan Braun’s charge of using performance enhancing drugs and LA Lakers Kobe Bryant’s divorce due to serial adultery claims.
If the above run in negative sports news wasn’t enough, sports fans’ belief in Mandela’s moral mantra and social ideals was challenged further by disclosures that former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky and former Syracuse University assistant basketball coach Bernie Fine were using their sports positions to engage in sexual dominance over unsuspecting, innocent children.
Certainly, this was not the kind of activity that Nelson Mandela had in mind when quoting his inspiring words. Perhaps most shocking to America’s sports fan base was the growing understanding that the college coaches’ repeated sexual acts upon youth were perpetrated at well-known academic institutions. That the environs of two of America’s respected universities could be involved in a sexual “power play” upon young children and that one of them, namely Jo Pa’s legendary Penn State, could cover, knowingly, for their pedophile coach went beyond the pale. The result was shock, outrage and devastation to a loyal American population that considers sports a national past time, passion and point of pride.
Who could deny that the pain Sandusky and Fine have wrought upon their alleged innocent victims won’t endure for a lifetime? And who can state with certainty that other highly regarded academic institutions aren’t turning blind eyes to the power of sports to impact society in more degrading ways?
Yes. Sports has the power to change the world. But at least in America, where sports entitles one to privilege, access, opportunity . . . and, not to mention, blind eyes, Nelson Mandela’s words are taking on a whole new meaning and sports at all levels will forever find itself under the microscope as a result of the heinous acts of only a select few.
Let’s all hope that the rush of recent disclosures in America’s world of sports cause society at large and those in positions of authority to exercise power to restore Mandela’s quote back to its original meaning and change the world for good.

NBA all star center Dwight Howard continues his “long and whining road” with the Orlando Magic.
Though eligible to opt out of his current contract with the Magic in July 2012, Howard yesterday reiterated his request to be traded to either the Dallas Mavericks, the New Jersey Nets or the Los Angeles Lakers.
Speculation surrounding Howard’s pending free agency started several years ago at the same time the Magic announced plans to construct the dazzling new Amway Center, a world class sports and entertainment venue.
Magic management hoped that Howard would both mature physically and emotionally as well as officially make Orlando his permanent NBA home by signing with the team before July 2012.
However, Howard’s on-again, off-again trade requests are growing tiresome and annoying to Central Florida fans who had immediately embraced him as a fresh-faced teen-ager the Orlando franchise drafted as the league’s number one pick in 2004.
Orlando Magic fans will soon discover that Howard’s idea of a future NBA home apparently doesn’t include the Amway Center or their smaller market city synonymous with Disney World – even though many NBA insiders believe that though now 26 years-old, the personally immature and fickle Howard is best suited for the tepid Mickey Mouse oriented environment of the Magic Kingdom then the searing spotlight of the Big Apple, Big D or Hollywood.
Howard’s physical development on the court has been overwhelmingly positive as the reigning NBA Defensive Player of the Year now boasts the NBA’s most chiseled physique, while emerging as the league’s most dominant defensive force.
However, his lack of demonstrable leadership and poise on the court, his penchant for petty bickering with team officials off the court and his glaring liability from the free throw line during key games have all led the complaining Howard down his current ”long and whining road” of basketball relationships; namely with:
* Orlando Magic coach Stan Van Gundy who has openly feuded with the NBA All Pro and has voiced his frustration concerning Howard’s immaturity and lack of leadership.
* Magic General Manager Otis Smith with whom Howard has childishly engaged in games off-court tit for tat.
* NBA referees who whistled the easily irritated number 12 for a league leading 18 technical fouls during the 2010 / 2011 season. And, now with:
* loyal Orlando Magic fans who have painfully now heard D12 publicly confess that he’s done all he possibly can in Orlando, well, er, maybe, except make free throws. Howard’s woeful career free throw shooting costs his team points and will always make him a part of opposing team’s “Hack-a-Shaq” strategy during crunch time of key games.
Yes, Dwight Howard may be one of the NBA’s top talents and most engaging players. However, this self-proclaimed basketball Superman (much to Shaq’s chagrin) needs to mature fast, measure his words, listen to his coach, make nice with his GM and NBA officials and, most importantly, make free throws.
Otherwise, NBA fans will continue hearing him whine, and his road to an NBA title will be far longer and much more winding… whether it’ll be in Orlando, Dallas, Los Angeles or Brooklyn.

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison’s recent Lol tweet is no laughing matter.
Harrison tweeted Lol or “laugh out loud” in response to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell suspending him from the Steelers’ upcoming Monday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Harrison’s suspension stemmed from the four time Pro Bowler’s vicious helmet – to – facemask hit on Cleveland Brown’s QB Colt McCoy last Thursday night. Clobbering McCoy marked the fifth time in three years that the NFL cited Harrison for an illegal hit on an opposing quarterback. In addition, the NFL has previously fined the outspoken Harrison twice for unnecessary roughness.
Harrison will miss a $73,529 pay day for his one game suspension; however, he certainly won’t miss any media attention. The intimidating Harrison’s questionable on-field play and his immature off-field three letter tweet will continue being the focus of sports talk shows, bar room banter and blogs until Monday’s Steelers – 49ers kick-off on ESPN.
ESPN’s Michael Wilbon eloquently stated on PTI last night that “there’s a new order and a new rule” and Harrison needs to understand that the NFL is adamant about enhancing player safety by enacting new reforms to mitigate injuries and guard against concussions.
However, Harrison’s casual attitude about the suspension and mocking comments about the Commissioner have alienated him with some NFL fans and most league officials for not taking the NFL’s push for player safety more seriously. Commissioner Goodell is justified in suspending Harrison and hitting him hard in his wallet for his dangerous play.
And, if Harrison doesn’t heed the new safety rules once he returns from a one week hiatus, expect the Commissioner to hammer him harder than any steel girder in an old Pittsburgh mill and more forcefully than any hit the Steelers linebacker could possibly ever inflict on a football field.
If James Harrison continues straddling the line between clean and dirty play on the football field and mocking the NFL’s new player safety rules, I doubt that this Steelers linebacker will be laughing at all as he watches future NFL games from the comfort of his living room or in a neighborhood bar.

To best understand the woeful state of the fractured NBA labor negotiations is to envision a tattered net clinging to a bent rim, barely bolted to a shattered backboard, teetering over a littered, slippery floor in an unlit, abandoned gymnasium.
Not a pretty metaphor, but a poignant picture nonetheless of the painstakingly protracted labor talks between the NBA and its locked-out players.
Commissioner David Stern and NBA team owners have adopted a hard line approach. They have locked out the NBA players with the intent of negotiating a more favorable collective bargaining agreement for themselves in order to return the league and its teams to profitability.
Stern and team owners are purposed to correct the league’s current bloated and broken basketball business model to the chagrin of wildly overpaid point guards, power forwards and centers who possess little business acumen, limited or no workforce experience and who are equally deluded into believing they are actually entitled to the extravagant salaries they are paid.
Commissioner Stern and NBA team owners have reached an impasse with the NBA players’ union and have canceled all games through the end of November. Players have fired back at Stern and the owners, calling them liars and dictators and rankling basketball fans everywhere, especially me.
My personal angst, birthed out of this tiresome stalemate, has already gone a full 48 minutes and is now headed into overtime. My basketball cup of indignation is now fully directed at the players because I don’t believe the players have a legitimate pivot foot to stand on.
For NBA players to bemoan their current plight while averaging nearly $5M per year is unconscionable. It’s greedy, selfish and outright insulting – both to fans as well as NBA team and arena employees like ushers, parking attendants, statisticians, ball boys, maintenance and ticket office office workers, etc. who rely on income that will now be lost due to the lockout.
Too many of the NBA players over value their worth and have no comprehension of how out of balance their bloated compensation is compared to their overall contribution to society, especially during recessionary times like these.
The NBA’s most recent BRI (basketball related income) offer of 50% – 50% is an excessive gift, and the players, their equally greedy agents and certainly NBA players’ union chief Billy Hunter would be foolish to reject it.
The NBA business model with its incongruous salaries needs to be repaired, and the NBA must remedy its league operations by running the league and each team like any successful, cost-conscious corporation. David Stern and the NBA should glean from the brilliant business minds of former successful corporate titans like GE’s Jack Welch, Chrysler’s Lee Iacocca and Godfather’s Herman Cain who enacted cost-cutting measures and restored order and profitability to the struggling companies they inherited and then methodically and successfully turned around.
Here are my suggestions to get the players back on the court where skeptical and irritated fans like me will once again support them:
To streamline its financially strapped league, Stern should enforce an R.I.F. like any reasonable corporation. Yes, a reduction in force. No NBA roster needs 15 players. Reduce it to 12 or 13 max and dress 10 or 11 tops. The hoops world pipeline is teeming with rich, available talent in the NBA D-league as well as overseas. Make it more challenging to get to the Show. The increased competition will produce better players and subsequently, a better NBA product. And, money will have been saved.
To strengthen its overall position as a respected, sought after place of employment, impose minimum qualifications for new NBA players – like a four year college degree. Not only would such a requirement validate the importance of an education in our nation, it would also mature and better equip athletes who will eventually earn exorbitant amounts of money as NBA players. The extra years in college should also mitigate the sad money management exhibited by far too many of their NBA predecessors.
To improve the financial solvency of the league, institute performance-based compensation. Immediately reduce, then hard cap, NBA salaries to more reasonable levels but tie lucrative incentives to measurable individual performance and, more importantly, improved team goals. Quite simply, make the players earn their money and attach the carrot of the team’s cumulative success to the players’ pay plan.
To better equip players for the future and help them transition into the “real” workplace after they’ve hung up their high tops, raise the rim, I mean the bar. Defer the players’ income and tie it to compliance with the law and some measure of public service. Instill in the players a pride and a responsibility to serve those, namely the fans, who have paid handsomely to buy their jerseys and watch them play. Players need to know how privileged they are and how molly-coddled they’ve been, and that with that privilege comes responsibility even after they’ve retired off the court.
To best serve the players, teach them fiduciary and social responsibility during the playing days and as a prerequisite to lace ‘em up. The NBA needs more retirees like Magic Johnson, David Robinson and Kevin Johnson who have flourished in their post basketball days and not retired athletic role models like Lenny Dykstra, Marc Brunell and Shawn Kemp.
I don’t want to miss an NBA season because of this current NBA labor stalemate, but I strongly support Commissioner Stern and the NBA team owners for their stance.
Like the tattered net dangling from the bent rim, barely bolted to the shattered backboard in the unlit, abandoned gym, the NBA labor negotiations may continue to hang on before a resolution is reached.
However, my hope is that Stern and the NBA owners hold fast to their position and that players capitulate to a plan that will strengthen the financially beleaguered league and best position them to be role models for adoring kids everywhere.
Let it be said of the NBA’s future: this is a place where “amazing continues to happen!”

As we welcome Trick or Treaters to our home before this evening’s Monday Night Football game between the San Diego Chargers and Kansas City Chiefs, it’s only fitting that I share my top 10 frightening moments of the 2011 NFL season.
How scary, down right eerie, troubling and annoying would it be:
10. if the Washington Redskins offensive line (after allowing nine sacks yesterday to an average Buffalo Bills defensive front) fails to improve by next week. Then, Rex Grossman would be back as the starter in D.C. because current QB John Beck would probably be physically unable to perform.
9. if Kim Kardashian married then quickly filed for divorced against an NFL tight end, running back or corner back instead of a currently unemployed, marginal NBA power forward. Then, football fans would be even more ridiculously exposed to the beautifully inane reality television personality than they already are.
8. if more NFL centers hiked the football like the Philadelphia Eagles’ Jason Kelce. Then, more NFL injuries would likely occur, especially among those players diving into a scrum to retrieve fumbles resulting from the centers’ errant hikes.
7. if Rex Ryan, silent during the New York Jets bye-week, makes up for lost time by preparing his team for a divisional game in Buffalo against the Bills in a more outrageously annoying, bombastic manner. Then, all football fans will be reaching for the Tylenol.
6. if the hopeless Indianapolis Colts continued believing that the sad state of their demise has only to do with Peyton Manning’s injury. Then, a complete coaching and management overall would be due in Indy at the end of the season.
5. if a desperate NFL team actually signs the mercurial and oft irritating 37 year-old Terrell Owens, and football fans are forced to listen his tiresome bravado again. Then, that team gets what it deserves, but loyal football fans certainly won’t.
4. if grizzled ol’ number four Brett Favre considers un-retiring again. Then, oh no, dear God, we pray! Please no!
3. if the Philadelphia Eagles, fresh off a pounding of the Dallas Cowboys last night, awoke from their nightmarish funk earlier this 2011 season. Then, talk of a football Dream Team wouldn’t have been so easily dismissed as it was in mocking fashion after the first few weeks of this year’s campaign.
2. if Tim Tebow, after flailing as a starter again yesterday, miraculously led the Denver Broncos to another improbable comeback victory against the Detroit Lions. Then, who would ESPN’s Merrill Hodge, Keyshawn Johnson, Chris Carter and Tom Johnson have to bash?
1. if the NFLPA was as intractible and unrealistic as its greedy NBA counterpart. Then, we would have missed the first seven weeks of an incredibly exciting, wildly unpredicatible and highly entertaining 2011 NFL season.
Enjoy tonight’s game. Keep the kids safe. And go for the Almond Joys or Snickers!

Diss his unneeded, scruffy beard…and no one will argue with you.
Question the likelihood of his leading the Stanford Cardinal to a BCS national championship after receiving the Heisman Trophy…and many naysayers may support your supposition.
But, claim that Andrew Luck is over-rated and should not be regarded as the likely 2012 #1 overall NFL draft pick because he doesn’t play in the SEC…and most football fans, players, scouts and coaches will quickly challenge your claim, question your intelligence and remind you of your sketchy qualifications in making such a ridiculous proclamation.
Yesterday, substitute San Francisco 49ers DE Ricky Jean Francois charged that Stanford QB Andrew Luck is no JaMarcus Russell, a former fabulous college player at LSU and the 2007 #1 overall NFL draft pick of the Oakland Raiders. Francois stated that Luck lacks the top pick talent of his former LSU teammate, who unfortunately flamed out as a pro with the Raiders and never lived up to his amazing potential.
Humm. Not as good as JaMarcus Russell? Oh, really, Ricky? Are you claiming to be the paragon of virtue and bastion of realized football potential that qualify you to judge? And, is it because you watched JaMarcus Russell from the sidelines as an LSU bench warmer in 2007 when you should have been out on the field as the next coming of Glenn Dorsey?
Yes, you are eminently qualified to comment on unrealistic expectations and unrealized potential – YOURS – which were woefully hampered at LSU. Nagging injuries, academic problems , an NCAA suspension for cheating and not to mention an acrimonious relationship with your coach, ironically, for unflattering comments about another highly celebrated, media darling QB by the name of Tim Tebow, contributed to your draft stock plummeting from round one to round seven in 2009.
Okay, Ricky, it’s now time to curb your comical off-field criticism of the Stanford Cardinal QB, and concentrate on harassing rival quarterbacks better… on the field…as your meager one NFL career sack of SEC and non-SEC quarterbacks suggests.

It’s time for HBO Sports to “get real” with Bryant Gumbel.
Last night the veteran HBO Real Sports host capriciously clucked about NBA Commissioner David Stern’s current handling of the NBA labor negotiations, likening him to a modern plantation owner who treated NBA men as if they were his boys.
However, HBO Sports has yet to respond to the brouhaha that Gumbel’s totally unrealistic, insensitive historical comparisons and reckless rant have caused.
What a travesty to compare one man’s role (i.e. Stern’s) in the work stoppage of a professional sports league to the past participation of callous slave owners who rarely allowed their subjugated slaves to stop working at all.
What an egregious insult to equate the multi-million dollar wage disputes of today’s NBA players with the dour working conditions of indentured black men who never had the opportunity to dispute earnings they never received.
What careless commentary to compare the current NBA players’ supposed plight with the actual, documented and horrific circumstances many of their ancestors experienced and who could never have comprehended the staggering wealth, celebrity adoration, limitless education opportunities and unfettered influence today’s black athlete enjoys.
Shame on Bryant Gumbel for invoking unwarranted slavery references in an NBA labor negotiation where the average player earns $4.7M per year, receives only the finest in available health care and is molly-coddled beyond any 1800′s plantation worker’s wildest imagination.
Shame on the cocksure Gumbel for undervaluing and underestimating hundreds of intelligent, industrious and socially-conscious NBA basketball players by categorizing them as David Stern’s “boys” or “hired hands.”
Will Gumbel ultimately apologize for his inexcusable grousing?
If not, perhaps it’s time for HBO to “get real” with Bryant Gumbel.

For years many fans of the National Football League have dubbed the NFL as the “No Fun League” for the ponderous restrictions the commissioner’s office has placed on its players, coaches and teams.
However, yesterday’s predictably mundane, obligatory coaches’ post-game handshake following the Detroit Lions’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers, which could have easily escalated into an ugly brawl, infused fun and laughter into every NFL football fan’s weekend analysis of the near fisticuffs on Ford Field.
As soon as time expired in his surging 49ers’ victory over the previously unbeaten Detroit Lions, overzealous 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh raced across the Ford Field’s synthetic turf like he’d just won Powerball. Harbaugh greeted the Lions’ coach Jim Schwartz, barely bottling his own raw emotions, and exuberantly clasped the rival coach’s hand. Then it happened. Innocently – though forcefully – Harbaugh slapped Schwartz on the back, as if in a dismissive manner.
The surprised Schwartz immediately took exception to Harbaugh’s slap and comically chased after the 49ers’ first year coach, bumping him and shouting at him before he exited the field.
Eyeing the rival coaches’ immaturish behavior, a portly personality in a suit, tie and glasses intervened before more shouting, accusations and potential punches could be exchanged. A media circus quickly descended on the two coaches who looked ready to square off right in the Ford Field endzone like 11-year-olds would in the center of a middle school playground.
Lions and 49er players then entered into the fomenting fracas, some foolishly taking off their helmets instead of strapping them on as a Motor City melee seemed certain to ensue.
Fortunately, calmer heads prevailed and the knuckleheaded behavior of the two head coaches and players was diffused. . . . only to be ignited, repeatedly reported, and exhaustively analyzed by just about every sports media outlet on the planet. FOX, NBC, CBS and ESPN all focused frenzied attention on the Harbaugh-Schwartz altercation and football bloggers everywhere feasted on the NFL’s first brouhaha of the season. By Sunday evening, football fans all learned of the “fight” like it was the reincarnation of Ali v. Frazier’s Thrilla in Manilla.
Yesterday’s immature post-game clash between two successful professional football coaches, who should have known and done better, could have sparked a seriously ugly brawl.
However, Harbaugh’s silly slap on the back, followed by Schwartz’s glacier like chase of the 49er coach, furnished football fans with enough fodder, fun and laughter for the coming week, but is certain to be addressed and disciplined today, and rightfully so, by the unofficial czar of the No Fun League, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell.
