Eli Manning sets goal to throw only 12 interceptions this season

10_Eli_ManningNEW YORK – After announcing his upcoming participation in Saturday’s preseason game, Eli aimed to give his fans a glimpse of hope and relief. Manning says he plans to bring down his interceptions this season to a max of 12.

“I know i throw too many interceptions as it is already. I don’t have to read the newspapers to figure it out. I know i can’t turn this thing around over night but I will set goals each year and hopefully 5 years from now I can bring it down to 10.” Manning has suffered criticism since day 1 and has been in his brother, Peyton Manning’s, shadow for quite some time. After winning the superbowl a few years back, Manning’s career has seen an upwards turn of events but his interceptions have still haunted him.

Coach Coughlin has worked dearly with Manning to decrease his interception totals by employing strategies of having his wide receivers play defense while Manning is throwing. Some staff have even branched out to Peyton Manning to help coach his brother. “Only time will tell if our practices have worked toward this goal” said the Giants’ quarterbacks coach. Giants play their first game at 1pm EST on Sunday Sep. 12th.

Rajon Rondo volunteers to withdraw from team USA after being threatened to make a free throw

rondoATHENS – Rajon Rondo announced his departure from the team USA roster recently and it came as a shock to just about everyone involved in the tournament. Several teammates remained mum during their interviews about why Rondo left. Coach K was also timid but he had to disspell rumors that there was confrontation in the locker room due to Rondo’s attitude.

“It was a tough decision on making the final cuts, so i decided the point guards had to have a simple free throw contest, and the person to make the least free throws will end up being cut.” Staff had said Rondo started throwing a fit because of the contest and decided not to participate in it at all. Players said he was so bad at free throws that he decided he was a goner for sure. “Now we know why we called him the Shaq of point guards. At first he took it as a complement and would beat his chest, but he finally got the hang of it after he missed his 10th freethrow in a row during practice.”

Coach K claims he only suggested that because he wanted it to be a fair competition without anyone getting physically hurt. Rondo could not be reached for comment, but his agent spoke on his behalf saying he is in shooting camp right now back in the U.S.

New Collective Bargaining Agreement may be decided on pickup game between owners and players

nba_logoNEW YORK – In the latest meeting between the players’ union and the owners, there wasn’t much dialogue being exchanged but one message was clear by both sides, nobody wanted an NBA lockout. Just like the last time there was an NBA lockout, the league is flourished with young talent and promising current/future all-stars. This time however, the latest meeting featured three of the league’s biggest stars in Lebron, Wade and Carmelo Anthony who tagged along with Chris Paul to the meeting in New York.

According to local reports, the meeting wasn’t a harsh one, as there was no tension however some witnesses beg to differ. Sources say that at the sighting of Lebron, Wade and Carmelo, an owner immediately exclaimed that he’s not intimidated by their presence. It may have been laughed off in the beginning but that statement set the tone through out the meeting. Unfortunately, an agreement wasn’t in place at the end of the meeting, but the players union considered an offer by a couple of the disgruntled owners.

It hasn’t been confirmed but there have been rumblings about the current Nets and Houston Rockets owners being advocates of proposing a 5 on 5 game between the owners and the players. Again, it was shrugged off but the tension in the room killed the comedy and the stern look on the faces of the owners would make the greatest skeptic believe this was a real proposal. The players union responded that they will take the offer into consideration and get back with them at the next meeting. As both sides left the facility, an owner playfully took a basketball that was used as a display prop and shot it towards the other display prop which was a basketball hoop. Needless to say, the owner missed as the ball crashed thru the glass window on the 8th floor of the building they were in, landing on an innocent bystander’s head in the process.

We’ll cover this story as more developments occur.

seriously what are you thinking?..

playing in the NBA is not just a hoop session anymore.. it’s your job now.. you’re now a commodity for a major franchise.. i’m sure none of that makes sense to you.. but you’re digging yourself a deep hole here and it’s absolutley not necessary..

what if someone accidentally cut in front of you not seeing you..

wreck happens.. your legs are taken out.. you’re of no more value to the kings.. your career’s ruined.. hey.. you’d be lucky even if you’re not dead..
