What they're saying...

Let's start off with what we're saying. As of this post, the Mavericks are one game away from eliminating the defending champion San Antonio Spurs. The Clippers have the Suns on their heels after evening their series at two. Lebron and the Cavs have also fought back to even Steven with the Pistons. Considering that we at 120 fearlessly forcasted the Spurs blowing out the Mavericks, the Suns destroying the Clips, and the Pistons sweeping the Cavs, we're right on track maintaining our reputation as being full of shit.

Now, back to people who might know what they're talking about... or not for that matter.

Thunder Dan "I have the coolest nickname in NBA history" Majerle told Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period that Charles Barkley's estimate of losing 10 million bucks gambling was a tad light. I think that’s being real conservative, because he lost about $5 million to (Danny) Ainge and I in shootarounds….When he left Phoenix, my income took a big hit.

Our Take: That reminds me of the time I lost 8 million to Shaq in a free throw shooting contest...

If you look up the phrase, "a few sandwiches short of a picnic," you're likely to see a picture of legendary stuntman Evel Knievel somewhere nearby. Under the heading of the pot calling the kettle black, Knievel said This guy is nuts. about Joe Reed, a motorcyle stunt man who wants to attempt clearing the Snake River Canyon in Twin Falls, Idaho on his bike.

Our Take: Knievel would know. He failed when he attempted the same stunt. His parachute deployed early and he plummeted to his death at the bottom of the canyon. Supposedly he survived with only scrapes and bruises, but let's get real. Throw 1000 people of that same cliff and let me know how many survive. Whoever is claiming to be Knievel now has to be some sort of demonic reincarnation. It reminds me about the time Todd unsuccesfully tried to fjord a two-foot puddle in the Macy's parking lot...

From Rasheed Wallace, There's no way in hell they beat us in a series. Apparently, there wasn't a way in hell Cleveland was gonna win game 4 either. Judging by the accuracy of Wallace's statements, we at 120 might try to recruit him when his playing days are done.

Brokeback Sports: What the hell is happening here. Arsenal and Barcelona face off this week in soccer's Champions League final, arguably the most prestigious match in club soccer. Arsenal's brilliant striker Thierry Henry has been rumored to be leaving Arsenal for Barcelona after the season. Barcelona's own super striker Samuel Eto'o likes the possibility. I talk to Titi over the phone all the time. Titi? RaRa??? What....the....@#$%!!!

Black and White: As a fan, you either love baseball, hate baseball, are indifferent to baseball, are sort of a baseball fan, watch only the playoffs.... never mind. There are really only two types of baseball players. Those who love the game and those who make a living at it. A few days ago, Phillies center fielder Aaron Rowand made the most courageous catch, if not the best, in baseball history. On the dead run, Rowand snared a long fly ball while simultaneously crashing face first into the wall, shattering his nose and fracturing bones around his eye socket. Mere days later, Braves first baseman Adam Laroche turned a routine grounder to first base into an infield single when he decided to turn his back to home plate and slowly jog over to touch the base. Meanwhile, a hustling Nick Johnson, running full tilt, beat the meandering Laroche by an eyelash. Money says there isn't a Braves fan who wanted to do to Laroche's face what the wall did to Rowands.

More Rowand: Rowand had the.... I don't know if pleasure is the right word.... of watching his incredible catch on the highlight shows from his hospital bed. Asked if it was difficult, he responded with, Not really. I hurt worse when it happened. Not sure why I found that funny but...

More Laroche: Laroche admittedly has ADD, (Attention Deficit Disorder) but refuses to blame the disorder for his bonehead play. Great. Admit that you're a lazy pile. Way to win the fans over.

In closing, it's time for another fearless forecast. Barry Bonds will hit his record-tying home run some time this season. Yup. You can bet the farm. There is only so long that the likes of Taylor Buchholtz and Jae Seo can shut him down.... although the likes of them have held the struggling slugger to one hit in his last 22 at bats. Oh, how (awesome it is to watch the) mighty fall. Thanks for stopping by and having a shot of 120 Proof.
