Kirilenko doubles as Utah’s bracketologist


The Utah Jazz know a thing or two about pro hoops, after all they are one of the top teams in a vicious Western Conference. But it looks like the guys could really use a refresher course in College Basketball 101.

Like most coworkers, the Jazz got together and set up a March Madness pool for bragging rights and probably a nice chunk of change. So, who has the cleanest bracket on the team after all but four teams have been eliminated you ask. Why, Andrei Kirilenko of course.

I’m telling you,” Kirilenko said, “I filled out my brackets in, like, 30 seconds.

If a Russian dominating the team’s tourney pool isn’t strange enough for you, then what do you think about Jazz sophomore C.J. Miles claiming that he doesn’t even care about bracketology. Now, that’s just sad. But guard Derek Fisher can’t get over the fact that Ivan Drago is winning the team’s pool.

That’s proof that there’s no science to the whole thing. I’m like tied for eighth or ninth or something like that. I’m so far removed from college basketball. Other than the big schools, I don’t even know half these schools.

And then you always have the problem with that guy in the office that fills out multiple brackets and then brags about getting one right.

This is my first time to participate with the Jazz and, personally, I think you should only be able to submit one bracket,” Fisher said. “But people around here, you can submit, like, four, five or six brackets. That doesn’t make any sense to me. So of course you can end up in first place because at some point, one of your brackets is going to be good. But if you just have to pick one bracket, which I did because I’m a man of (integrity), you’re tied for ninth.

Sounds to us like somebody is a lil’ bitter.

Carlos Boozer sues Prince for making his house too purple



Before Prince f’d it all up

Boozer is renting out his Hollywood mansion to Prince for eight months at $70,000 per month. That’s not a typo.  Carlos Boozer makes more off Prince in rent in a month than most people make in a year.  

Money aside, Prince doesn’t seem to be the best tenant.  He added purple striping, the Prince symbol, and “3121” to the exterior of the house; he cut a large hole in the wall; and he installed plumbing and piping in downstairs bedroom for water transfer for beauty salon chairs.

Only Prince would install beauty salon chairs in a house he’s renting. Boozer wants Prince to fix all the unauthorized home improvements of leave within 3 days.  

I am convinced now that Prince is a messenger from   God and this is punishment to Boozer for screwing over a blind man.

Andrei Kirilenko is a lucky man



Best NBA wife ever

I was listening to KNBR this morning when Rod Brooks mentioned that Kirilenko’s wife gives him a hall pass one night a year to sleep with another woman. “As long as I know about it, it’s not cheating.” Those Kirilenkos really have adapted well to this living in Utah business.

However, Andrei claims that he doesn’t want to take advantage of his get out of jail free card. Smart move, Andrei, as long as she doesn’t know you used up the card, it doesn’t matter. And if you ever get caught, just say “oh, I told you about that woman….”

Ironically, the couple appeared in a PSA produced by the NBA that stressed HIV/Aids prevention through safe sex, living drug-free, and monogamy.
