Flip Saunders was fired today by the Detroit Pistons. Joe Dumars who is the president of basketball operations for Detroit stated, “It’s time for a new voice to lead our team.” In Flip’s three seasons, the Pistons were 176-70 in the regular season and 30-21 in the playoffs. The problem was the Pistons fell short all three years in the playoffs by losing in the Eastern Conference Finals. Has anyone in management with the Pistons thought about the fact the Pistons are getting OLD and might be past their prime? Good luck to whoever takes the reigns next!

Last month we wrote about the Kobe jumping a car video and how cool we thought it was overall. Obviously it wasn’t a real video, but a sweet viral marketing idea nonetheless. Well, Kobe is back at it again and this time he is with the Jackass crew and is jumping over a pool of snakes. Enjoy the video clip!

I’m sure a lot of you heard about The Wynn casino in Vegas going after Charles Barkley last week for a 400,000 marker they loaned him many months ago. If not the Wynn went very public with their intentions to collect their money and this enraged Barkley to say the least. Barkley said this was all a misunderstanding and quickly paid the debt. It is well known that Barkley is a huge gambler and he has even admitted to losing over $10 million over the years. Well, it seems this latest incident has made a huge impact on his life because Barkley announced tonight on his TNT show that he is done with gambling. He apologized to friends, family, etc for this latest incident and is committed to quit gambling. I am a huge Barkley fan and I have met and hung out with him person so I wish him the best because it is extremely hard to stop something you have been doing for so many years!
