One bad bad MAN to some bad bad little MEN....you got to earn your keep!!! Sends a strong message to kids

ESPN.com Article Link

We can all agree that any man that can leg press the equivalent to a car basically can fairly be called a bad bad man. And when that bad man has kids, often he's going to be teaching them how to get swolllll when the time comes. For now, he's teaching more life lessons it seems with this story.

When James Harrison found out his two boys received trophies for participation in the league he was quick to offer praise and say he's ALWAYS proud of his kids and will always continue to be, however, he firmly believes in everything in life is better if you earn it. 

Something along the lines of if you work for your allowance you'll be that much more careful about spending it, if it's just handed to you, then you really won't grow up with any concept of hard work or how to go about earning money.


HERE IS THE EXACT QUOTE MADE BY THE STEELERS LINEBACKER

I came home to find out that my boys received two trophies for nothing, participation trophies! While I am very proud of my boys for everything they do and will encourage them till the day I die, these trophies will be given back until they EARN a real trophy. I'm sorry I'm not sorry for believing that everything in life should be earned and I'm not about to raise two boys to be men by making them believe that they are entitled to something just because they tried their best...cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better...not cry and whine until somebody gives you something to shut u up and keep you happy. #harrisonfamilyvalues

Carolina may not recruit the top ranked class every year but they often play like a top ranked team EVERY YEAR

ESPN.GO North Carolina Tar Heels Roster Link

While Roy Williams and the North Carolina Tar Heels may not be recruiting yearly at the historic level John Calipari is over at Kentucky, they seem to hang on to their talent for 2-3 years as opposed to one and done's.  This year the Tar Heels bring back all three top 50 ranked freshmen from last years class. 

Justin Jackson has greatly improved his range and his confidence continues to grow with every game and the competitive summer league action at the UNC courts from pros will only help him blossom.  Theo Pinson has worked hard on his strength and conditioning and will be a force to be reckoned with as he slashes to the basket absorbing fouls and making free throws. Nate Britt's ball handling has only gotten better and better throughout last season and this summer. His handle has become just another high level weapon he possesses at his disposal.

The two incoming freshmen Kenny Williams and Luke Maye will have to crack a deep lineup to see the court but particularly Williams seems ready to make the jump to the next level with the pedigree of his NBA father and instruction from Roy and his staff,


Who's your pick to with the ACC???? Will Duke shine again with another top recruiting class or will Roy have the upper hand  because of his teams experience???

Stan Wawrinka talking tough after Nick Kyrgios takes it below the belt

ESPN.com tennis article

During his tennis match against fourth ranked Stan Wawrinka Australian Nick Kyrgios was heard on a court microphone saying his friend and fellow Aussie Thanasi Kokkinakis who played mixed doubles with Stan's girlfriend 19 yo Donna Vekic, had slept with her. Tennis is one of those sports that prides itself of sportsmanship, somewhat similar to golf. The fines seem minuscule compared to what we are used to hearing for numbers in football and basketball but Kyrgios was fined both a $10,000 for "verbal abuse" and another $2500 for unsportsmanlike conduct.

Alright, while the comment was crude, I have to admit, this whole hubub over an insult is kinda irritating to me....Think about all of the horrible atrocities going on in the world today, Genocide and rape going on across parts of Africa, the alarming treatment of Muslim women in some cultures, children forced to work by the time they can walk basically across Asia....COME ON PPL GET A DAMN GRIP!!!!!


Stan, I get it, you have to stand up for your girlfriend, otherwise you ain't gonna be hittin that for a whileeeeee. Now, the story does't get into when the kid actually slept with his girlfriend supposedly. I assume they are inferring that she cheated on him, but that's not anywhere in the reporting as far as I can see.

So ppl, what's the deal? What do you think should happen to Krygios? Is Stan right to be demanding such severe punishment for words he couldn't even hear if not or those court-side mics???
