Denver Nuggets Trade Away Marcus Camby

The Denver Nuggets have traded away Marcus Camby for a future 2nd round pick in the draft to the Los Angeles Clippers.

As a Nuggets fan, I don't feel good about this at all. Trade away the only defensive star player you have on your team?? The Nuggets are known for all offense and no defense. Now with this trade and losing Eduardo Najera we are pretty much toast next season.

Maybe I am missing something, but this seems like a huge loss for the Denver Nuggets.

Name that NBA Team!

The Seattle Supersonics are moving to Oklahoma City. They are not allowed to use team colors or the Supersonic name. I started wondering what would be a good name for this Oklahoma City team. Here are a few possibilities I came up with:

We all know Oklahoma City has lots of bad weather. So there are the weather choices : Oklahoma City Tornadoes, Oklahoma City Twisters, Oklahoma City Thunder and the Oklahoma City Lightning.

With what they went through with the bombing back in 1995, I like the team name Oklahoma City United. Like the soccer team Manchester United.

They are also known for oil and cowboys: Oklahoma City Gunners, Oklahoma City Ramblers, Oklahoma City Stockaders, Oklahoma City Outlaws and the Oklahoma City Oilers.

Then there is the funny team name: the Oklahoma City Slickers.

Vote on what you think should win as the team name or send me a few team names of your own.

Chicago Cubs Trade for Rich Harden!

The Chicago Cubs just acquired Rich Harden from the A's for four players. If this guy can stay healthy he just might be the pitcher we needed to go with Zambrano and this team will be a serious contender for the World Series. Holy Moly, I can't believe it! Would have preferred Sabathia, but this will work. Rock on Cubbies!

Forrest Griffin vs Rampage Jackson: WTF???

Ok, I love Forrest Griffin. I love his heart, the man does not stop. So of course, when I heard he was going to fight Rampage for the title, I ordered it up on Pay Per View this past weekend. Invited over my MMA buddies, Joyce, Jimmy and William.

I ordered the high definition version so we could see every little detail. A case of beer and two pizzas later, it was time for the big fight. I was so nervous for Forrest that my stomach hurt. I was screaming and yelling and going crazy. Then they announced Forrest as the winner and new champion. I am not really sure how I feel about this. As I said earlier, I love Forrest BUT I wanted him to win it clearly, with either a submission or a knockout. To have it go to a decision was just not good. The fight was so very close. Forrest looked like his face has been smashed into a tree about 1000 times and Rampage looked like he had not been in a fight at all. I don't know about this...I mean to take the belt away from Rampage for a fight that was so close doesn't seem to make any sense to me.

I watched it a 2nd time on Monday night and felt a little bit better about Forrest's win but somewhere in the back of my mind I am wondering if this was a fixed fight. Everyone love's Forrest. He is the underdog we all cheer for. It makes for a great story for him to upset Rampage and take the title but I think it will be interesting when it comes time for him to defend the title. I hope he will be able to squeak out another victory and prove me wrong.
