SINKING WINNING BASKET AGAINST RAPTORS!

Notice how excited the Toronto Raptor Crowd is?

Tuesday February 14 ~ Valentine’s Day (great gift for basketball fans)

Against the Raptors, infront of a sold out crowd, Lin, ball in his hands, game on the line, counted down the seconds before drains a game-winning three-pointer with 0.5 seconds left.  Knicks sixth straight win since Linsanity began.

“I just wanted to make sure I got a good shot at the end of the clock,” he said on the television broadcast afterwards. “Jose Calderon backed up a half a step and I thought that was a good look for me.”

Lin created interest in Toronto on a weeknight in February.

If not for Linsanity, I would not have watched the game!

Jeremy Lin Quotes:

“I was only 5-3. Luckily I grew. Maybe I was meant to be a basketball player.”

“I have a job again, yesss!’

 ”Coach D’Antoni is an absolute offensive genius,” said Lin, whose 38 points represented half his season total from 29 games last year for Golden State. “He makes us look good.”

“I don’t think anyone, including myself, saw this coming,” Lin told The Times.

“My whole thing as I try to live my life is have fun, explore your opportunities, your dreams, find something you’re passionate about, and then just go after it,” Lin said. “And I think that’s true for kids whether they play basketball, or they want to do whatever they want to do. So, hopefully, I can be an inspiration to them.”

Quotes about Jeremy Lin

• “I was like, ‘Wow, he had 25 in one game and everybody was going crazy.’ New York media, you know? And then it happened two more times and I was like, ‘Oh, yeah, it’s good. It’s good.’ … Looking from the outside in, everybody’s pretty happy for him. It’s good to see something special for the first time.” ~  Metta World Peace — Ron Artest

• So rare, so improbable. Everyone stayed inside the Garden, listened to Lin’s on-court interview over the Garden sound system. M-V-P, they chanted. M-V-P.People stayed in seats, screaming, yelling, snapping photos. Out there, all alone, those gangly arms, that baby face…well, Lin hardly looks the part.That’s the beauty of him, of this story. That nothing is how it’s supposed to be, how we’ve ever witnessed a star burst onto the scene. ~ Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo

• I didn’t know he could dunk,” teammate Tyson Chandler told The Times. “When he’s going in for it, I go: ‘No, Jeremy! Just lay the ball up.’ And all of a sudden he dunks it.”

• He’s the type of guy who should wear leather pants.” – Metta World Peace — Ron Artest”

  Just call him Linderella 

  “Linderella story of the year,” O’Neal 

Jeremy Lin is the sensational point guard ( 6 feet three inches tall) who is sparking the NY Knicks of the National Basketball Association

No athletic scholarship out of high school

Harvard-educated

Jeremy Lin Harvard Stats

Lin finished his Harvard career as the first player in the history of the Ivy League to record at least 1,450 points (1,483), 450 rebounds (487), 400 assists (406) and 200 steals (225).

Undrafted

Signed, but later dropped, by the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets without getting much of a chance to play, he was bought by the Knicks as a reserve point guard to help put their first choice through his paces.

The first American-born Asian player in the NBA since Wataru Misaka donned the orange and blue with the Knicks in 1947-48

Ratings on MSG network are up since Lin joined the lineup, and the NBA said some of its Asian TV partners have added Knicks games to their broadcast schedules so fans can see the league’s first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent.

Is very religious ~ like Tim Tebow!

Plays like Steve Nash

From wikipedia:

Lin had a career night on February 4, 2012, when he scored 25 points, grabbed 5 rebounds, and dished out 7 assists (against only 1 turnover) in a 99-92 Knicks victory over the Nets. The statistics for points, rebounds, and assists were all career highs for Lin. After the game, Knick coach Mike D’Antoni, while being interviewed by the MSG Network, said Lin has a point-guard mentality and “a rhyme and a reason for what he is doing out there”^[79]. In the subsequent game against the Utah Jazz, Lin had 28 points and eight assists, new career highs.^[80] On February 10, 2012, Lin scored a new career high 38 points and had seven assists, leading the Knicks in their victory over the Los Angeles Lakers with a score of 92–85.^[81] He scored 89 points in his first three career starts, the most by any player since the merger between the American Basketball Association (ABA) and the NBA in 1976-77.^[82]

Jeremy Lin slept on NY Knicks teammate Landry Fields’ couch before he became famous!

He will be able to afford a FEW couches of his own, now!

Football Jokes, NFL, Super Bowl

“Football is a game played with arms, legs and shoulders but mostly from the neck up.” 

 Knute Rockne 

Super Bowl XLVI  (46) February 5, 2012 

New York Giants & New England Patriots

Congratulations to the GIANTS! 21- 17

SUPER BOWL CHAMPS

Princess, the star Camel of New Jersey’s Popcorn Park Zoo, has correctly picked the winner of five of the last six Super Bowls. She went 14 and 6 predicting regular season and playoff games this year, and has a lifetime record of 88-51.

Her pick this year: The New York Giants.

Stare at the picture to see the best optical illusion ever.

Just for fun

I know it’s a long stretch, but I’m sticking my neck out and picking the Patriots!

 Wonder who Madonna picks?

If I spend money for a Super Bowl ticket ~ “Do I get to have sex with Madonna?”  David Letterman

Letterman read “Questions to Ask Yourself Before Spending $16,000 on a Super Bowl Ticket” on Tuesday’s edition of his late-night talk show.
The list read as follows –

10. “Do they have anything in the more affordable $15,000 range?”

9. “Have I recently divorced eitherKobe Bryant or Tiger Woods?” 

8. “Can I afford it after spending $12,000 on a Pro Bowl ticket?”

7. “Isn’t this why the rest of the world hates us?”

6. “Would it make more sense to watch at home and spend the 16 grand on snacks?”

5. “Before I spend the money, how’s Gronkowski’s ankle?”

4. “For $4,000 an hour, couldn’t I get a really good hooker?”

3. “If I’ve got 16 grand, should I buy the Mets?”

2. “Will I forever be known as ‘the ass [expletive] who spent $16,000 on a Super Bowl ticket?’”

1. “Do I get to have sex with Madonna?” 

Well, say, this (football) beats croquet. There’s more go about it!
- quoted in “Mark Twain at Football Game,” New York World, Sunday November 18, 1900

According to a poll, 43% of Americans thought God helped Tim Tebow win football games.  But many of them also resented it because that meant God was sitting at home watching football while they were at church. 

Joe Biden was at a Democratic fundraiser last week in San Francisco and he said, “The Giants are on the way to the Super Bowl.”  After getting jeered he said he made a mistake because the San Francisco baseball team is the Giants.  Who would have thought Biden would ever get confused?  Anyway, since the subject was football it is appropriate that he stuck his foot in his mouth.

SUPER BOWL SUNDAY is the number one

SNACK DAY in the United States.

Not a good day to start a diet or maintain a diet.

Companies are spending a fortune in

The Battle For Your Stomach

Just sit back and enjoy a SUPER BOWL of:

chili, chips, dip, chicken wings,

processed sliced meat or pizza

Scroll over the picture for their names!

New York state bakery named Coccadotts Cake Shop is selling a combination of cornbread and bleau cheese frosting — with a big ol’ chicken wing on top. Said Rachel Coca-Dott, owner of the bakery in Colonie near Albany:

I was thinking about the Super Bowl. What goes with the Super Bowl but chicken wings? And I said, ‘Oh, a chicken wing cupcake, Rachel?’ And I tried five or six recipes and the last recipe when I was ready to call it quits I think we kinda nailed it on it.

In the Patriots initial media session, Patriots head coach Bill Belichick, made a good attempt to get the Indianapolis home town fans on his side when he mentioned the Patriots’ loss to the rival Colts in 2009.

“I never had too much hospitality here until I went for it on fourth-and-2,” Belichick quipped. “Since then, I’ve been greeted in a lot more friendly manner than I was in the past.”

A ball boy made an incredible catch during the Australian Open Tennis match between Federer and Nadal. I’ll have to check the stats, but I think that grab gives the kid the same number of receptions that Green Bay Packers receivers had in the playoffs.

Where do hungry football players play? In the Supper Bowl.

A: Cheerios belongs in a bowl.

Superbowl Commitment…
… A young man was very excited because he just won a ticket to the Super Bowl. His excitement lessened as he realized his seat was in the back of the stadium. As he searched the rows ahead of him for a better seat, he found an empty one right next to the field.
He approached the man sitting next to the empty seat and asked if it was taken.
The man replied, “No.”
Amazed the young man asked, “How could someone pass up a seat like this?”
The older gentleman responded, “That’s my wife’s seat. We’ve been to every Super Bowl together since the day we were married but she has passed away.”
“Oh, how sad,” the man said. “I’m sorry to hear that, but couldn’t you find a friend or relative to come with you?”
“No,” the man said, “They’re all at the funeral.”

Albert Einstein arrives at a party and introduces himself to the first person he sees and asks, “What is your IQ?”
The man answers “241.”
“That is wonderful!,” says Albert. “We will talk about the Grand Unification Theory and the mysteries of the Universe. We will have much to discuss!” Next Albert introduces himself to a woman and asks, “What is your IQ?”
The lady answers, “144.”
“That is great!,” responds Albert. “We can discuss politics and current affairs. We will have much to discuss!”
Albert goes to another person and asks, “What is your IQ?”
The man answers, “51.”
Albert responds, “How ’bout them Packers?”

The Cheesehead teacher and Little Johnny

“A first grade teacher explains to her class that she is a Cheesehead.
She asks her students to raise their hands if they are Cheeseheads too.
No one really knowing what a Cheesehead was, but wanting to be like their teacher, their hands explode into the air like flashy fireworks.
There is, however, one exception. A boy named Little Johnny who has not gone along with the crowd. The teacher asks him why he has decided to be different.
“Because I’m not a Cheesehead.”

“Then”, asks the teacher, “What are you?”
“Why, I’m a proud Steeler Fan,” boasts Little Johnny.
The teacher is a little perturbed now, her face slightly red. She asks Little Johnny why he is a rebel.
“Well, my mom and dad are Steeler Fans, so I’m a Steeler Fan too.”
The teacher is now angry. “That’s no reason,” she says loudly. “What if your mom was a moron, and your dad was a moron. What would you be then?”
A pause, and a smile. “Then,” says Little Johnny, “I’d be a Cheesehead”.”

“The city of Pittsburgh is on top of the sports world. To remain there, they’ll have to sell the Pirates”

“The Steelers are keeping the natural grass on their field so that the offensive line has something to graze on.”

Next Season
The Seven Dwarfs were marching through the forest one day they fell in a deep, dark ravine. Snow White, who was following along, peered over the edge of the steep chasm and called out to the fallen dwarfs. From the depths of the dark hole a voice returned, “The Panthers are Super Bowl contenders.”Snow White thought to herself, “Thank God… at least Dopey’s survived!”

London Summer Olympics 2012 Jokes, Humor and Funny Quotes

Organizers of the 2012 London Summer Olympics were feeling buoyant

— as the Olympic rings floated down the Thames

to mark the final days before the Games start.

The 2012 Summer Olympic Games,

officially known as the Games of the XXX Olympiad,

are scheduled to take place in

London, United Kingdom, from 27th July to 12th August 2012.

After the 2012 London Summer Olympics Logo was released,  the silly design was the object of so much scorn that organizers were desperate to avoid similar criticism when they unveiled the mascots for the Games on Wednesday. The mascots, Wenlock and Mandeville, helped London 2012 organizers realized their goal. The criticism of the mascots won’t be similar to the complaints about the logo.

No, they’ll be much, much worse.

The mascots have one eye which is a camera lens to see the world and yellow lights on tops of their heads are an homage to London taxicabs.

Pretty weird!

I’ve heard that they have had to devise another way to start the races at the London summer olympics. This is necessary to prevent numerous false starts because the sound of the starting pistol will be indistinguishable from the ambient sounds coming from outside the stadium.

• At the Olympic Games, Rhoda meets a man carrying an eight-foot-long metal stick.

  ‘Excuse me,’ says Rhoda to the man. ‘Are you a pole vaulter?’

  ‘No,”‘ says the man, ‘I’m German, but how did you know my name is Walter?’

  ***

  What a horrific dilemma this could be. The men’s 100-metre sprint final and men’s tennis final fall on the same day, Aug. 5, at the London Olympics. If forced, which of those would you choose to miss: Usain Bolt possibly becoming the first man since Carl Lewis to win the 100 dash at consecutive games or Novak Djokovic perhaps putting a golden sheen on what promises to be another astounding year? No problem, the 100 metre race only takes 10 seconds or less!!!

***

Chairman of the London 2012 organising committee, Lord Coe, jokes that if diver Tom Daley wins Olympic gold next year they may name the new aquatics centre after the 17 year-old.

• Where did some of these Winter Olympics events come from? Like the luge. How is sliding down a mountain on a cafeteria tray a sport?

  ***

  A lot of looting and theft occurred during the recent London riots, with one of the more shocking photos being that of a looter running off with one of the London 2012 Olympic rings!

   Dressage commentator: “This is really a lovely horse and I speak from personal experience since I once mounted her mother.”

   Paul Hamm, Gymnast: “I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.”

   Boxing Analyst: “Sure there have been injuries,and even some deaths in boxing, but none of them really that serious.”

  Softball announcer: “If history repeats itself, I should think we can expect the same thing again.”

   Basketball analyst: “He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn’t like it. In fact you can see it all over their faces.”

  It’s the 2012 Olympics. The final of the Hammer Throw event is shaping up for an exciting finish. It’s all come down to a Russian military officer, an American farmer and an unemployed Scouser.

  The Russian throws first: 85 metres, just short of the world record.

  Interviewed after the event he said, “My grandfather was in the military, my father was in the military and I am in the military. This gives me strength and discipline.”

  Then the American throws: 88 metres, breaking the world record.

  Interviewed after the event he said, “My grandfather was a farmer, my father was a farmer and I am a farmer. This gives me strength and discipline.”

  The Scouser saunters up to the nets, gobs at the TV cameras and slings the hammer 95 metres, breaking the world record and winning gold for Great Britain.

  Interviewed after the event he said, “My grandfather was unemployed, my father was unemployed and both said to me, ‘If anyone ever puts a hammer in your hand, throw it as far as you friggin can’.”

TEBOW TIME ~ Religion and Sports

RELIGION, SPORTS AND POLITICS  ~ the most popular topics in America! This is especially true during the silly season of American politics and NFL Playoffs.

Was God on Tim Tebow’s side

in the land of the Patriots Saturday

when his team took on New England in the NFC playoffs?

Apparently not!

Tebow needed more than a few

 Immaculate Receptions

if he was going to defeat the Patriots

The game between the Denver Brocos and the New England Patriots is likely to be the most-watched NFL playoff contest in history, as America’s choir boy Tim Tebow faced Tom Brady, the playboy powerhouse.

UPDATE:

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow takes his helmet off following an NFL divisional playoff football game against the New England Patriots Saturday, Jan. 14, 2012, in Foxborough, Mass.

The Patriots defeated the Broncos 45-10. 

Tim Tebow ~ favourite Bible passage is John 3:16,

threw for 316 yards,

31.6 yards per pass and

had an overtime with a TV rating of 31.6

“When we place our dependence in God, we are unencumbered, and we have no worry. . . .This confidence, this sureness of action, is both contagious and an aid to the perfect action. The rest is in the hands of God — and this is the same God, gentlemen, who has won all of His battles up to now.” VINCE LOMBARDI 1964

Commenting on athletes and religious displays a few year ago: “It’s just plain silly,” said Dan Barker, 55, a minister turned atheist, and a spokesman for the 5,300-member Freedom from Religion Foundation. “When you throw a football and you pray, do the laws of nature change? Does the elliptical curve of the ball through the air suddenly swerve, or what? Is God blessing you for winning and is God cursing the other team for losing? Just the arrogance of that; it’s one thing to be happy and thankful, but to put it on religion, it’s so uncivil, because everybody has different religions.”

If you are a deeply religious football player (or any athlete) and your team loses, do you say, “Thank you, lord, for letting us lose.”?

I believe Tebow may be an exceptional person, but I don’t believe God wants him to win more than he does any other athlete. But it’s an argument that can never be won.

Tim Tebow ~ one of the most fascinating Modern Day Americans!

Tim Tebow ~ the most popular athlete in America

Tim Tebow ~ lots of time to try to improve in the off season

Tim Tebow ~ should be a GOP / Republican Candidate!

The 24 Absolute Laws of Golf

.

LAW 1:
No matter how bad your last shot was, you should have Inner Peace knowing that a shittier one is yet to come. This law does not expire on the 18th hole, since it has the supernatural tendency to extend over the course of a tournament, a summer and, eventually, a lifetime.

LAW 2:
Your best round of golf will be followed almost immediately by your worst round ever. The probability of the latter increases with the number of people you tell about the former.

LAW 3:
Brand new golf balls are water-magnetic. Though this cannot be proven in the lab, it is a known fact that the more expensive the golf ball, the greater its attraction to water. Expensive clubs have been known to be partly made with this most unusual natural alloy.

LAW 4:
Golf balls never bounce off of trees back into play. If one does, the tree is breaking a law of the universe and should be cut down.

LAW 5:
The higher a golfer’s handicap, the more qualified he deems himself as an instructor.

LAW 6:
A golfer hitting into your group will always be bigger than anyone in your group. Likewise, a group you accidentally hit into will consist of a football player, a professional wrestler, a convicted murderer and an IRS agent — or some similar combination.

LAW 7:
All 3-woods are demon-possessed. Your Mother in Law does not come close.

LAW 8:
Golf balls from the same “sleeve” tend to follow one another, particularly out of bounds or into the water. See LAW 3.

LAW 9:
The last three holes of a round will automatically adjust your score to what it really should be.

LAW 10:
Golf should be given up at least twice per month.

LAW 11:
All vows taken on a golf course shall be valid only until the sunset.

LAW 12:
Since bad shots come in groups of three, your fourth consecutive bad shot is really the beginning of the next group of three.

LAW 13:
If it isn’t broke, try changing your grip.

LAW 14:
It’s surprisingly easy to hole a 50-foot putt when you lie 8.

LAW 15:
Counting on your opponent to inform you when he breaks a rule is like expecting him to make fun of his own haircut.
LAW 16:
Nonchalant putts count the same as chalant putts.

LAW 17:
It’s not a gimme if you’re still 4 feet away.

LAW 18:
The shortest distance between any two points on a golf course is a straight line that passes directly through the center of a very large tree.

LAW 19:
You can hit a 2-acre fairway 10% of the time, and a 2-inch branch 90% of the time.

LAW 20:
Every Time a golfer makes a birdie, he must subsequently make a double or triple bogey to restore the fundamental equilibrium of the universe.

LAW 21:
If you want to hit a 7-iron as far as Tiger Woods does, simply try to use it to lay up just short of a water hazard.

LAW 22:
There are two things you can learn by stopping your backswing at the top and checking the position of your hands: how many hands you have, and which one is wearing the glove.

LAW 23:
A ball you can see in the rough from 50 yards away is not yours.

LAW 24:
Don’t buy a putter until you’ve had a chance to throw it.

Bonus:

It’s hard to putt in snow.
