15 Minutes of Fame – Oilers draft and Kobe Bryant’s fine

Monday, April 18th, 2011

 This week, the guys talk about the Edmonton Oilers and the fact that they won the first overall pick in the 2011 NHL entry draft. They go over four possible candidates who may be picked by the Oilers.

Then, in the GABBYs – On the good side: The New Jersey Devils go from laughing stock to relatively respectable, the National Hockey League sticks to their guns on suspensions, and Edmonton Oilers Jordan Eberle and Devyn Dubnyk are going to the world championships.

On the bad side: Detroit Pistons Charlie Villanueva acts like a child on the court, Texas Rangers outfieler Josh Hamilton breaks his arm, and the Colombian soccer player who kicked an owl upgrades to kicking someone in the chest. HONORABLE MENTION: Kobe Bryant gets $100,000 fine.

In Quick Hits: Now that the NHL playoffs are underway, who does Kerrzy think can make it all the way?

The Hoop & The Harm: Charlie V flips out, Wafer Whiffer

“Heat of the Moment”

Losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers will drive a man to do crazy things, it seems.

The Detroit Pistons witnessed that first hand on Monday night when forward Charlie Villanueva completely lost the plot with just under six minutes to go in his team’s final home game of the regular season. Now, when I say he “lost the plot,” I mean it – responding to an elbow earlier in the game, Charlie V hit Cleveland’s Ryan Hollins with a “subtle jab to the groin” as Detroit Free Press writer Vince Ellis described it.

After being ushered away from the ensuing scrum, Villanueva tried to sneak his way back over to confront Hollins, but was dragged away once again by a teammate and a member of the coaching staff. It turns out it’s just not that easy for a 6-foot-11, 232-pound guy to be sneaky! (After the jump: Video of the altercation, plus a brutal Dunk Fail!) (more…)

Cavaliers shock the Heat

In the NBA upset of the year, the Cleveland Cavaliers defeated the Miami Heat 102-90.

Yes folks, the same Miami Heat with LeBron James (former Cavalier), Chris Bosh (former Raptor) and Dwyane Wade.

You don’t have to be a basketball fan to love the result in this one!

Cleveland at 15-58 knocked off Miami at 51-23. Boomshockalockalocka!

I would just like to know if there will be a one hour documentary now produced by LeBron James himself on why the Heat were so brutal tonight? If he is interested in the anysportanytime staff in writing the script, I would be more than happy to.

Congrats to J.J. Hickson (21 points, 12 rebounds), Anthony Parker (20 points), Ryan Hollins (13 points), Baron Davis (10 points, 7 assists) and Ramon Sessions (11 points, 6 rebounds) for winning their biggest game of the year!
