497...Happy Holiday;MoreBadNews For King James

Not LeBron, the other one.

Specifically today is the 319th anniversary of the Battle of the Boyne, a bad day for King James VII and II [he was king, er, King, of England and Ireland as the 2 and Scotland as the 7] and a good day for Syracuse's own William of Orange, also known as William III.

The Blue and Orange, Protestants, beat the Roman Catholics and that was about it, eh?

The great victory is celebrated to this very day especially in in Northern Ireland, where some Protestants remember it as the great victory over Catholics that resulted in the sovereignty of Parliament and the Protestant monarchy.

It is also commemorated in other parts of the world including here in Ontario although not at the level it was previously to the end of World War II.

Still, any excuse to party is an excuse to party.

Give 'er.

496...King James Gets Dunked On

Then confiscates the tape. And as his hometown paper, The Cleveland Plain-Dealer, says, that is some serious bullsh't.

What happened was Xaxier University dunk machine Jordan Crawford threw one down on LeBron James in Akron earlier this week and two handed facial scrub was caught on video by a free-lancer named Ryan Miller. Front page news for true.

Bill Livingston in the Plain-Dealer says slow down a bit because right after it happened "... [LeBron] James spoke to a Nike bigwig, then the videos Miller and another unnamed videographer had shot were confiscated. Videotaping supposedly wasn't allowed at the session, which involved pick-up games between a team made up of James, Cavs rookies and substitutes vs. one of college players. But no one said anything about not taping until..." the King was crowned.

380...NBA, Jacko and Farrah

Quite a day Thursday, Farrah Fawcett dies, Michael Jackson passes and the NBA draft.

Overshadowing it all were the trades of Vince Carter from Jersey to Orlando and Shaq moving in beside LeBron in Cleveland.

I was also saddened when, for the zillionth consecutive year I was overlooked in the draft.
