Guys, Nothing Is Funny To Derek Anderson!

The Arizona Cardinals got embarrassed by Jason Comack's 49ers on Monday Night Football, 27-6. Cardinals quarterback, Derek Anderson, or "Danderson" as I like to call him, went 16/35 with 196 yards 0 TD and 1 INT. Stellar numbers by his standards this season, but we all know, he is an awful QB. Anyways, down 18 in the 4th quarter, ESPN cameras showed Anderson and one of his offensive lineman smiling about something. Well, during the post-game press conference, a reporter asked him, why they were laughing, and "Danderson" FLIPPED OUT.

In all honesty, I find it to be a dumb question, but Anderson's reaction to this is just so priceless. The persistent denial by Derek is just hilarious. Who cares why you were smiling or laughing...the fact is you were, so don't act dumb. It just adds to your ineptitude.

Bee-Tee-Dubz, this is our 1,400 post. GET AT US!

Derrick Rose Sons Tyreke Evans

Here's a clip of tonight's Chicago Bulls/Sacramento Kings game. Late in the 4th quarter, Derrick Rose puts on a straight nasty crossover on Tyreke Evans. Check it!

Last year when we did Off The Glass, Max Caster, Ryan Pettys and myself had a debate on who the quickest point guard in the game was. A few good names were thrown in the mix: Rondo, Westbrook, Paul, Deron Williams. But I defended Rose to the death and the play above does me justice. Craziness I tell you!

Another guard we talked about was Brandon Jennings. Here's a ridiculous (RZA voice) move he put on Stephen Curry earlier this month. However, he loses some points because he couldn't finish the play.

I'm done for the night like Tyreke's ankles. Be kind to one another...

Well Don't YOU Look Dumb Now...

Three posts in three hours? Can someone say electric?! I caught this off of Bill Simmons' twitter but had to post it for all of ya'll. The Miami Heat are at an abysmal 8-7 and are the mockery of the NBA right now. Dwayne Wade is hurt, Bosh is a shooting guard in a power forward's body, and Lebron can't figure out how many minutes he wants to play. Back in July, Da LeBatard went on his radio show and glorified the move of adding James and Bosh to the roster. Here it is...

I mean how can you live this down? The multiple penis references is also a bit head-scratching (no pun intended). I'm not sure what's better, this or his Jets rant after the Baltimore loss. He's not looking so good on either one now.

Kanye Being Kanye

Non-sports related post here. Kanye West threw an album release concert for his fans at the Bowery Ballroom this week. After he rocked the stage and brought out some of his friends. He ended with this 9 minute rant. It's awesome and 100% Kanye.

CBS Feature on Chris Henry

If you saw our twitter timeline earlier in the day, you would have saw me tweeting about the CBS Feature on Chris Henry that was run during the pre-game before the Patriots/Lions game. Considering the spirit of Thanksgiving, it was the most opportune time to run the feature, which showed Henry's mother meeting all of the recipients of her son's organs after he passed away for the first time. It was honestly one of the most touching segments I have seen in quite some time. James Brown, the host of the pre-game show couldn't even speak afterwards and had to let Boomer take over to send the show to commercial. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

-Matt Soldano

Happy Thanksgiving!

The folks here at WCWP Sports want to wish all of our listeners, readers, and loyal followers a very happy Thanksgiving. We're all very fortunate for the things we have in life so let's take a moment to be grateful for everything in our lives. The Sportswire will be on hiatus for a day but Max and I will be back on Friday at 6pm with Jets/Bengals reaction and of course Seth Rosenthal to talk Knicks. Enjoy the football games tomorrow but mostly enjoy the time spent with your family and friends.

-Matt Soldano

Fan Up!

Max and I talked about this for a bit on tonight's Sportswire. The Miami Heat, you know the same team, with Lebron James, Dwayne Wade, and Chris Bosh (although he sucks), currently rank 5th in NBA Attendance. The best part, Cleveland is still showing their support, ranking 2nd in attendance only behind Chicago. To address this issue, the Miami Heat have introduced the "Fan Up" campaign: an ad to convince the people of Miami to attend Heat games and actually stay for them. Here's the poster:

And now, the even more embarrassing video:

It's pretty miraculous how terrible both of these ads are. It's bad enough when the team that has been knighted a dynasty for the next 5-7 years can't fill up the stadium. But when you get on your knees and make ridiculous posters to plea for fan support, you're on a whole different level.

I'm pretty much left speechless at this point so I think I'm going to sign off...

So long Sierra Mist

Yesterday the Yankees traded away Juan Miranda for A-ball pitcher Scott Allen. This is not loss as at all for the Yankees considering they have both Tex and Swisher who could play first base and if they ever needed an emergency first basemen they could always look to Jorge Posada. The Yankees get back a very young arm, that has a decent curve ball, for the whole scouting report check out River Ave Blues.

I will always remember Miranda for his two walk offs, one a hit in 2009 the other a walk in 2010. But I always felt he looked like Ruben Sierra, thus earning him the nick name Sierra Mist. Check it out for yourself..

Like a Bosh

While some around WCWP have gone and traded for Chris Bosh in fantasy Basketball,the Heat are probably wishing they never picked him up.

What Would Landry Do?

Listen to Landry Fields' postgame comments after the crushing loss to Denver last night. He scores 21 points and grabs 15 boards and he pretty much takes the blame for the loss.



That was very landry of you, Landry.

The message I'm trying to convey to the WCWP Sports staff is to try to be landry. To improve the department, we all must become landrier. So every time we have there is a dilemma or conflict, we ask, 'What would Landry do?'

This is from last night. Jimmy Fallon (as Neil Young) and Bruce Springsteen do Willow Smith's "Whip My Hair" justice with this acoustic rendition:

"We Are Not Your Whores, You Are Not Our Pimps!"

Monday Night Football sent me into a near-coma after I was winning by 57 points in fantasy football against Patrick Creighton. He had Michael Vick and scored 62 points. I lost the matchup and my dignity all in one night.

However, any ranting or raving that is perfectly executed is always awesome in my book. Chad Dukes from 106.7 The FAN in D.C. went on the most incredible 12 minute rant about Monday's game. It's long...but you must hear it all. Lavar Arrington is trying to soothe Chad, but he had about as much luck as the Skins had on Monday.

No need to apologize Chad! You're my favorite dude in D.C. after John Wall and his dougie!

-Matt Soldano

Chad is Wayyy Too Pumped...

Here is a video taken from practice at Miami Dolphins site this past week. Chad Pennington was named starting quarterback this week versus Tennessee. As anyone can imagine, Chad was pretty psyched for the opportunity. But who would have thought he'd react like this. Cue up Slim Shady!

Let's run through the possibilities of what he could be either thinking or shouting right after the video cuts off:

1.) "LET'S FU**ING START!!!"

2.) "COME ON GUYS! STOP STRETCHING!"

3.) "I'M RELEVANT AGAIN!!!!!"

4.) "CHAD VS. RANDY: BATTLE FOR MARSHALL!"

5.) "CHEDDAR BOB!!!"

6.) "YO HENNE YOU'RE PAPA DOC NOW, SUCKA!!"

2010-2011 Miami Heat Introduction

Since I am a man of dignity unlike other people I know, coughnickmalonecough, all the credit in the world goes to Mike Tramontozzi for showing me this video. Here is the 2010-2011 Miami Heat Player Introduction, as seen on the jumbotron at home games. This is seriously the most pathetic ish I have ever seen...

I mean guys who look totally lost in this video? Mike Miller, Juwan Howard, and Jerry Stackhouse. In that order...

What does Jorge Posada think of DHing?

Seems safe to say that Posada still thinks he can catch, but stats show otherwise. Earlier this week Jorge's wife Laura tweeted that Posada will be the DH all next season, other news outlets had reported similar things. It makes the most sense that at this time the Yankees use Jesus Montero and add a defense minded catcher as a free agent.

Who Gave This Guy A Job?

Here's an oldie but a goodie for all you funksters out there. Being a part of the media family, I found this interview to be even more enticing. Some guy from KJEE was interviewing Sam Cassell, then of the Los Angeles Clippers. We all know Cassell is the most handsome gentlemen on planet Earth. In fact, he's down-right alien. Things didn't start off so well and they certainly didn't end well.

The song the interviewer is referring to is "Kiss of Death remix" by Jadakiss featuring Cassidy. The Cassell punchline happens around the 1:50 mark. Cass also manages to name-drop Drew Bledsoe, the Expos, and the Sixers all in his verse. He's essentially the Philly version of The Game.

But better than any interview or punch-line, the greatest thing ever related to Sam Cassell is the following picture:

Who could improve the Yanks

Now I was not signed away from this blog because I was a free agent, just everyday life taking me away. Since my last post MLB free agency has started up. Its obvious that the Yanks will go after Cliff Lee and will most likely get him, but here are a few other free agents the Yanks should take a look at..

Juan Uribe: For the last three months I have been telling anyone who will listen to me the Yanks should sign Uribe. After the last two seasons of watching Ramiro Pena attempt to bat, I think its time to cut ties. Sure Pena could field at all infield spots, but so can Uribe. In fact Uribe will bring enough offense that the Yanks can rest Jeter or A-Rod and not have to worry about a huge drop of in production. Uribe also has had clutch hits in the 2005 and 2010 World Series so if your thinking postseason 2011 already he would be a great fit. The issue could be that he would be getting contract offers to start elsewhere so the Yanks would have to throw a few extra dollars at him.

Chris Young: Not the D-Backs centerfielder, but the Padres pitcher. The 6'10 righty is coming off a season filled with injuries but had a nice run from 2006-2008. If Young could remain healthy he could make for a great back of the end starter or even long reliever. The issue could be that he has expressed interest in returning to San Diego and has had injury issues the last few seasons.

Jake Westbrook: Another possible end of the rotation guy, but would want too much money and has been an injury concern in the past. The upside is he has pitched the American League before.

Miguel Olivo : Sure he does not take pitches but that's not the point, hes a catcher that can actually throw runners out. With Posada likely taking a larger role as DH and Jesus Montero still just 21 and not the best defensively, the move makes sense.

J.C. Romero: Brian Cashman has already said that he wants to add another lefty reliever, and Romero held lefties to a .217 batting average last season, and .215 over his career. The issue is that he walks way too many batters.

Randy Winn: The Yanks are going to have to replace Damon somehow..oh wait this is 2010? Never mind...


So their you have it some potential free agents that can help the Yanks. All have flaws as its been noted, but that's because of a weak free agent class. The pitching is laughable after Cliff Lee, and the Yanks don't really need to add another big bat. So the main goal should be, sign Lee.

John Wall Will Teach You How To Dougie

We've seen many athletes do the "Dougie" but no one has pulled it off quite like Washington Wizards rookie John Wall. In tonight's home opener, Wall was introduced last and taught everyone in D.C. how to Dougie.

Oh, by the way. Wall finished the game with 29 points, 13 assists, and 9 steals, as the Wizards knocked off the Sixers in overtime. Straight up beast.

ESPN Commercial Featuring Gallinari

I saw this over at Posting and Toasting:




Is it just me or is Gallo a natural? Brilliant performance by the Rooster.

Only thing I'd want different is his supporting cast. Really? Jon Barry and Carlos Boozer? Could they have picked two worse looking dudes? Looking at it from a positive view, their appearances make Dani look even more like a hunk.

I like it!!!

Honestly, this has filled my Knicks quota for the night with the Garden being asbestos ridden.

Big Sean ft. Chiddy Bang - Too Fake [Video]

Matt Soldano played this for me today. I like the track a lot. Xaphoon did his usual make-an-indie-sample-sound-incredible thing. All around good song from some up and coming artists.

Enjoy.
