I don’t think y’all understand how much I hate having to defend BARRY BONDS. I wish this Federal indictment were handed down to someone that I love in sports like say CHARLES BARKLEY, or KEN GRIFFEY Jr. I would have said DWIGHT GOODEN or DARRYL STRAWBERRY, but knowing those two fuck ups a Federal indictment might be the thing that keeps them from killing themselves.

BARRY BONDS is far from being one of my favorite baseball players of all time, but his singular journey against the Federal government, Major League Baseball and their media subordinates has turned him into the PAUL ROBESON of the new millenium. No offense to PAUL ROBESON. Times have certainly changed in that you have to find your voices of dissent that fight persecution in some odd places.

The latter half of 2007 hass been a banner year for negroes receiving Federal dockets. T.I. certainly deserved to get pinched for buying up Blackwater USA’s back order armaments, and MICHAEL VICK had the nerve to be messing around with one of the white Jesus’ favorite animals. Can you imagine what kind of shit he would have been in had he been sponsoring something like dolphin fights? In BARRY BONDS case you are seeing the result of over four years of investigation. WTF is going on here people?!

You mean to tell me that the Federal government has allocated four years to the staffing of an investigation into why BARRY BONDS now looks like a bobblehead doll? So while I am going broke over here paying for a war overseas, or some other corporate welfare, the Federal government has been pissing away money to tell us that BARRY BONDS lied under oath when questioned about whether or not he knowingly ingested steroids? I’m at a loss as to why I would even give a fuck, especially four years worth of giving a fuck.

Oh, right, baseball. The hallowed records. The sanctity of the sport. In the internets we have a saying… GTFOH! This is that getback shit that BARRY BONDS thought he was above. This is that shit that America reserves for people like MIKE TYSON and O.J. SIMPSON. I hate the fact that its BARRY BONDS going through the crime of unforgivable Blackness. I wish it were some other Black dude that I truly loved. And this is why BARRY doesn’t stand a chance.

Starting backcourt for the NYC Has-Beens…

I don’t suppose STEPHON MARBURY was ever briefed on the code of the streets because this week he decided to do something most people would say isn’t Hip-Hop. MARBURY threatened to dish the dirt on the New York Knicks coach ISAIAH THOMAS if THOMAS benched him because of his lackluster play.

Nevermind the fact the MARBURY is past his prime as a top tier pointguard in the NBA. I think its ridiculous that he would try to hijack his position with this team right after the ALLAN HOUSTON situation where the Knicks were forced to pay out a contract for an obvious burger bum. STEPHON should have more respect for the team, and the city of New York. Take your ass to Italy already.

The New York Knicks begin every season with a plate full of hope from the free agents acquired and the development of some of their younger talent. We fans don’t expect to contend for a championship unless every All-Star from around the league is kidnapped by aliens from outerspace. Being a New York Knick is more about having pride in your uniform. For chrissakes, STEPHON MARBURY wears the same number as one of the most hardbody players to ever wear a Knicks jersey. JOHN STARKS was the hustler’s posterchild, and MARBURY does all Knicks fans a tremendouis disservice by wearing that jersey number and being a lazy bum.

I hope that the Knicks are able to deal him to some other team before the new year so that we can get on with the business of playing basketball the New York Knicks way. Six years ago I was one of the fans that felt STEPHON MARBURY was given a bad rap from around the league, but now I see that I let my NYCentric mindset cloud my better judgement. Where there’s smoke there’s usually fire, but in the case of STEPHON MARBURY the fire has already been too smoked out. Maybe the Brooklyn Nets can use a mascot after their arena is completed. Until then I wouldn’t mind if MARBURY wore #3 for Lottomatica Roma.

Memo to MARBURY: Snitching in Italy is frowned upon seriously. Peep the Godfather series.

** UPDATE: To all my Knick Fans, stop by Rock The Dub and politely tell Khal to kiss your asses.
