King's Court Vol. I

Well I guess I’ll start by introducing myself. My name is King Kaine (my literary name; I’m not letting you fools get mad at my opinion and try to google my info…lol) and welcome to King’s Court. From time to time, I will write articles not only to show support for the excellent and driven creators of TazSports.blogspot.com, but also to share my opinion on certain issues, including, but not limited to sports. My stance is mostly one of fairness and common sense (and not Tim James’ version either). My opinion also does not reflect the opinion of this website. The fact is, the creator of said website is a close friend of mine, but we sometimes have differing opinions. And rest assured I won’t be afraid to air them publicly in this forum (Though don’t expect me to win many, as he does edit my submissions..lol).



This post will be relatively short, as I really just want to introduce myself. In coming articles, I will touch on the NBA finals (the Lakers will win), the upcoming NFL Season as well as Fantasy Football Rankings (No representation is made that the quality of ranking services to be performed is greater then the quality of rankings performed by others. C’mon it’s fantasy football…aside from the basic premise that ‘you never know’, throw in injuries, and you really can’t call it), Politics (Yes I Am), and in general, whatever pisses me off.



At the end of each column, I will also give you who I perceive to be the King/Queen of the week. This selection will be based on who, in my view, has exhibited the characteristics fit for a king/queen. These actions will include, but are not limited to: sports related feats, community service, leadership, compassion, and good deeds in general.



King of the week = Rajon Rondo – the Boston Celtics point guard, for putting together 2 back to back postseasons, that will allow me to mention him in the same breath as Deron, CP3, Nash, and Rose. And trust me, I’d rather have him before 3 others on the list. Yeah I said it.



I will also give the “Kick Rocks” award each week to a very special person. Someone who needs love and a hug…I’m not doing either, but I can very well “put them on blast”. I’m not going to explain what the requirements are, but if you stick around long enough, you will know. This weeks’ winner was too easy….



Kick Rocks Award = Rand Paul and his supporters in Kentucky. Who are trying their damnedest to turn the clock back to 1964.

Till next time,

The King has spoken.

Since a particular Franchise meeting/ supplemental Fantasy Football League draft, a select few owners (one distinctly) have been thinking that perhaps the League was spared in '09 as a result of such a poor draft. Many would find it rather difficult to win one game with this draft.

Round

   5       Antonio Bryant

   7       Donnie Avery

   8       Derrick Ward

   9       Joey Galloway

  11      Domenik Hixon

Adjustments as well as the playoffs were made despite this atrocious draft in key picks. Imagine if the owner's draft was halfway decent, to be demonstrated in 2010. The League will indeed have their hands full, without doubt.

Cin City

The sun is setting. The sky is cambridge, blending to a reddish- orange just over the horizon on the way home. The cooler in the trunk is full of ice and sea life. Four minnow- sized brim, caught by your neighbor and childhood friend, are mixed in with the six mullet your brother caught. He's worn out, asleep in the passenger seat. They were no competition for your eleven brown trouts and three carps, all oil free. Life is good. One last stop to refill the gas tank and pick up a twelve pack and chips will suffice. Arriving at the gas station, you proceed to get out of the car when suddenly a .38 revolver is pointed at your head. "You know what it is! Break yourself!"

Monday night will be forever etched in the mind of St. Louis Rams fourth- round draft pick, wide receiver, Marshawn "Mardy" Gilyard. Returning from a fishing trip with his brother and bodyguard, Gilyard was robbed at gunpoint at a gas station near the University of Cincinnati campus.

"I had that thing pointed at my head," the Cincy graduate told police. "I could have been paralyzed or brain dead or killed."

The two armed robbers got away with $300 in cash and jewelry said to be worth around $1,000. The 6'0" 187 pound native of Bunnell, Florida was truly batting a thousand Monday night, as he has his entire life, including a promising NFL career before him.
