This tiger is kind of stupid. the dog is a lot better. you can make him fly. I like that i changed my song from the Beatles to The Game. I mean they're basically the same, right? And know i have the video (bottom of the page) so I'm just HELLA  sick.

The Kings suck. They need so much more. Their window has definately closed and i feel bad for Mike Bibby cuz i like him. And their defense is one of the most pathetic things i've ever seen.

I heart Barry Bonds.

I want summer to start. F midterms and finals for that matter.

I'm really hungry. It is Cinco de Mayo (did i spell that right?...FYI, i'm 50% mexican...Sweet) and Pippin is having music and good food. Supposedly.

What I believe
By Thomas Quigley (inspired by Scoop Jackson)

With a push from ESPN columnist Scoop Jackson I’ve decided to find myself. Right now I’m running on three or four hours of sleep (I’m not quite sure because of the damn daylight savings time) and I’m in a plane on my way back to Irvine. For some strange reason in my biology I’m incapable of taking a nap when running on less than five hours of sleep; yes, that’s my curse. Anyways, with seven extra bags of honey roasted peanuts by my side for energy and a glass of ginger ale (for my nauseous stomach) and a mix of the Garden State Soundtrack, Howie Day and Frankie J playing in my ear I begin my quest to define who I am by stating what I believe.

I believe in the healing power of a marathon length solitaire session Vegas style.

I believe in love at first sight even if my love doesn’t.

I believe the nation is obese because of a lack of self-control and a willingness by parents to please their children.

I believe in God.

I believe religion is overrated.

I believe if Ashley Simpson can become famous there is hope for us all

I believe Brittany Spears is one of the worst singers I’ve ever heard with a record deal.

I believe if Brittany Spears was on American Idol she wouldn’t make it into the top 30.

I believe American Idol is the biggest waste of an hour possible.

I believe I have watched American Idol religiously since it began.

I believe Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa saved baseball.

I believe Mark McGuire and Sammy Sosa ruined baseball.

I believe Barry Bonds is the best baseball player of all time. Bar none.

I believe Muhammad Ali was, and will, be the greatest sports figure ever.

I believe if Muhammad Ali was an athlete today we would shun him and criticize him and belittle him.

I believe music and sports are the two things that can unite nations.

I believe studying is overrated.

I believe in the importance of an education.

I believe the most important things a kid learns in high school happen outside of any classroom.

I believe in the immense power of parental love.

I believe soccer will never become a top American sport. But it will continue to be the world’s sport.

I believe in helping others who are less fortunate than you. I believe the welfare structure in this country needs to be reformed. Desperately.

I believe I love the OC

I believe I hated the OC two years ago.

I believe Morgan Freeman is one the best actors. Ever. I believe he should not have won
an Oscar for Million Dollar Baby. He should have won one for Shawshank Redemption

I believe Clint Eastwood has become one of the best directors of all time.

I believe Mystic River and Million Dollar Baby are two of the best movies of all time from top to bottom.

I believe everyone should have the right to marry regardless of sexual preference.

I believe every President since Kennedy has used a war for personal reasons.

I believe there is still an enormous amount of racism (conscious or sub-conscious) in the U.S.

I believe white-america will always be the standard.

I believe women will always be a little worse off then minorities.

I believe there will never be an African-American commissioner in American sports.

I believe Michael Jackson is the greatest entertainer of all time and is largely misunderstood. I believe he brings most of the trouble upon himself.

I believe Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame.

I believe NHL playoffs are the most intense and passionate 60 minutes in sports.

I believe Biggie and Tupac are the greatest rappers of all time.

I believe Eminem is a better lyricist then either one of them.

I believe Survivor needs to go away.

I believe there should be a sports network for women.

I believe watching (and playing) Texas Hold ‘Em is more addictive than crack or crystal meth.

I believe there is not a better friend in the world than your dog.

I believe Jon Stewart is one of the smartest and funniest men alive.

I believe Randy Johnson will look even taller and lengthier in Yankee pinstripes.

I believe Red Sox-Yankees is the best rivalry in sports right now.

I believe you can be in love with sports.

I believe sports will never love you back.

I believe being in love is the best high in the world.

I believe when I marry someone I hope they have the courage to pull the plug on me if I have been a vegetable for 15 years.

I believe Marriage has been taken for granted.

I believe Remember the Titans and Rocky 4 are the best sport movies of all time.

I believe Forest Gump is the best movies of all time.

I believe most people won’t finish reading this once they start.

I believe with the right marketing Basketball could become the most popular sport in the world.

I believe there should be no asterix next to any record in any sport. Let those who wish to remember it remember it and those who wish to forget it forget it. Got it?

I believe we can all change the world.

I believe laughter is the best medicine.

I believe Mos Def is an underrated entertainer.

I believe Mos Def when he says, “A life without knowledge is Death in disguise”

I believe I have much more to learn.

I believe I’m only 19 and have much more to live.

This is an article by Scoop Jackson who is now working for ESPN.com. I really liked it and I thought he has some very interesting and unique views. Enjoy

 

By Scoop Jackson
Page 2

They asked me to intro self. To take 900 words to explain I.

Well, first off – I is not that important. I am just a writer from Slam, XXL, NBA and Nike who found his way into ESPN's backdoor. Lucked up. Spit a few verbs, convinced 'em that Stephen A. wasn't the only one.

So instead of wasting space on Page 2 ducking my own sic, I figured if I told you some of the things I believe in, that would give you a better idea of what I intend to flip once a week for the Worldwide Leader. Because it ain't where you at; it's where you coming from that matters. Right?

***** ***** *****

I believe Allen Iverson is the best player in the game.

I believe Tim Duncan, Kevin Garnett, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are better than him.

I believe Minnesota should have traded Randy Moss ... last year.

I believe Ty Willingham deserved to get fired, but Notre Dame was subliminally anti-ethnic in the way they did it.

I believe there should be a women's sports network.

Chris Andersen
Somebody stop this man before he dunks again.
I believe most athletes cheat on their wives and girlfriends.

I believe owners cheat more.

I believe Biggie's "Either you sling rock or got a wicked jump shot" is the best sports lyric ever.

I believe Chris Andersen should be banned from all dunk contests.

I believe there will never be an African-American commissioner in professional sports.

I believe throwbacks will never go out of style.

I believe every word Barry Bonds said in his press conference.

I believe that steroids can't make you hit .370 ... twice!

I believe LIVESTRONG wristbands are cool, but a Rolex Oyster Perpetual Daytona is much cooler.

I believe Muhammad Ali is more significant than Jackie Robinson.

I believe Sean John shoulda got the NBA merchandising deal instead of Reebok.

I believe Phil Knight is the most powerful man in sports next to Wes Wesley.

Muhammad Ali
"I am STILL the greatest." Just ask Scoop.
I believe fans are oftentimes more arrogant than the players.

I believe GMs win championships, but destroy dynasties.

I believe in Michelle Wie.

I believed Phil Taylor of SI when he told me I'd never write for them because my style was too player-friendly.

I believe a positive word has much more impact than a negative one.

I believe Danny Fortson, Troy Hudson and Spree need someone to tell them the truth about their hairstyles.

I believe Roger Federer might be the best – not greatest – tennis player we will ever see.

I believe Roy Jones Jr. needs to stay outta the ring.

I believe "Cornbread, Earl and Me" and "The Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars and Motor Kings" are the greatest sports movies of all time.

Bingo Long Traveling All-Stars
Don't be bringing that weak 'Hoosiers' stuff in here.
I believe in college academics more than college athletics.

I believe college athletes should get paid. A lot.

I believe anyone who tries to mix sports and hip hop doesn't know the difference between ballers and ballers. Get it?

I believe someone in professional sports will come out.

I believe white men can jump, they just choose to pay others to do it for them.

I believe marketing has ruined sports.

I believe marketing is the best thing to ever happen to sports.

I believe it's hypocritical for alcohol companies to sponsor NASCAR drivers.

I believe PS2s and Xboxes do more damage to athletes than bad coaching.

I believe Santa Claus got booed in Philly for a reason.

I believe Eva Longoria should have been in the MNF skit.

I believe if T.O. was white, he'd be a national hero.

I believe no one should pull for a team just because it's from their hometown.

I believe John Chaney needs to call it quits.

I believe the NHL will never recover.

I believe the NBA will not learn from the NHL.

I believe you should not have to stand for the national anthem if you do not want to.

I believe sense of humor is the true lost art in sports.

I believe Pete Rose should be in the HOF. (It isn't like he was the only one gambling – he just was the one who got caught).

I believe the greatest rivalry in sports is not Red Sox/Yankees, UNC/Duke, Ali/Frazier or Borg/McEnroe; it's Pat Summitt/Geno Auriemma.

I believe Kobe got railroaded but he put himself in that position.

Vince Carter
It's an age-old NBA rule: Get out of Toronto, become a new man.
I believe Vince Carter and TMac had reason to "dog it" in Toronto and Orlando.

I believe if Cowboy Troy got a chance to perform during halftime of the NBA All-Star Game, Pastor Troy should get the same op next year in Houston.

I believe the New England Patriots stopped believing in themselves and won their last Super Bowl.

I believe what Rush Limbaugh said was true – stupid, but true.

I believe all baseball records pre-1950 should have asterisks by them because the Negro Leagues were not able to compete.

I believe Ali Moe should be in the League.

I believe every time you hear "first black" in sports, it's an affirmation that racism in sports still exists.

I believe Ron Artest ...

I believe Dave Chappelle should host the next ESPYs.

I believe golf is more addictive than crack or crystal meth.

I believe there is only one No. 36 in basketball, and it's not Rasheed Wallace. It's Meadowlark Lemon.

I believe there is crying in baseball.

I believe The National Sports Daily should come back.

I believe hitting major league pitching is the hardest thing to do in sports.

I believe Shaq is better than Wilt was.

I believe in Pedro Martinez.

I believe if Dan Gilbert were black, with his college-days criminal gambling arrest, he never would have been allowed to purchase the Cavaliers – or any other NBA team.

I believe I will never be on "The Sports Reporters."

Santa Claus
Punk got just what he deserved in Philly
I believe Air Force 1s are overrated. I believe I have more than 100 pairs.

I believe USC with Mike Williams would have beat all but five NFL teams.

I believe there will be another Michael Jordan, but there will never be another Larry Bird.

I believe until she has a child, Serena Williams is the sexiest female athlete alive.

I believe Chauncey Billups has the most beautiful wife in the NBA.

I believe "It's not sports, it's ESPN" sounds better than HBO's slogan.

I believe Donald Young Jr. is someone you need to know right now.

I believe basketball is the metaphor for life.

I believe, in the words of Ice Cube, I'll be the n----- you'll love to hate.

I believe this is only the beginning ...

Dang!!! It's been awhile since i've updated this bad boy. However, I haven't quit yet as many of my friends are doing. Moreover, I have been changing the songs (because I think that's fun) so if you are unlike me and actually go to the sites instead of the little update page then you would know that. Break was fun, but it went by really really fast. School is cool. My dad's 50th b-day is this weekend so i'm going home....On a cool note, I jumped a flight of stairs on a scooter today by the library. I really have nothing to say. I was going to write in this thing and vent my frustrations about apathy a week ago but then i didn't care. I hope everything is going well with everyone. and Ps. Check out the songs.

Much love

Thomas
