Me vs. Zach Randolph (the Fox13 story)

Me vs. Zach Randolph in the XBox Showdown (a photo history)

      I came into the matchup feeling fantastic about my chances. While Zach Randolph is an NBA player, and NBA players are great at XBOX, I figured that with an 8 week old baby girl that is keeping him up at night that he probably had not had much time to play the game this year. I was having to play with the Pistons, while Zach was playing with the Grizzlies.

     Before we even start the game he is going into all of these screens I have never even seen and switching all of these settings so quickly that I don't even know what is happening. I am rattled.

What is he changing? Why have I never seen these screens? I have played the game many times, so what have I not been doing that I should have been?

We start the game and I am holding my own. In fact, I am starting to think that I have vastly overrated how good an NBA player is at games like this. I get to halftime with the score 22-22, and Ben Gordon has not even gone off yet. I am in good shape. Grizzlies backup point guard Marcus Williams has come in to watch and starts talking. "I am too nice at this game." "Nobody has ever beat me at this game." These are the types of quotes coming from Marcus. He watches the game almost in disgust and I wonder to myself how awesome he must be.

We start the third quarter and I am keeping the game close, the biggest lead is 2 or 3 pts at any given time.

In the middle of the quarter Ben Gordon shoots a 3 and the ball comes flying off the rim - Chris Wilcox climbs up the back of Hasheem Thabeet and slams it down on his head.  I go ballastic, Randolph is stunned..

The third quarter ended with me down by 6 after a I took a few bad shots and did not get back on defense.  I start blaming the players.  How could Joe Dumars put together this roster?  Why is the frontcourt of the Pistons total bologna?  How am I going to be able to comeback in the 4th qtr?  Why don't I know about the screens and settings Zach was messing with earlier?  I am dejected heading into the final frame...

The first pass I make, simply trying get the ball in, is stolen.  Layup.  I am down 8.  We are only playing 3 minute quarters so I need to hurry up and get back in this game.  Ben Gordon 3 after Ben Gordon 3 after Ben Gordon 3.  I need it.  Brick, brick, brick.  Ben Gordon misses every friggin shot he takes and I score a grand total of 4 pts in the fourth quarter.  I am crushed.  I lose 50-36.  I curse the names of Joe Dumars, and Ben Gordon, and secret screens of which I am unaware.  I am a loser.  The picture says it all...

Philanthropy (The Picks)

Alabama -14.5 over Tenn (now down to 14)

Call the EMT's, Vinnie Verno is in a coma

Keep in mind that there is no way on earth that Arizona St. should have even had the ball. Horrifying clock management by Steve Sarkisian led to ASU getting the ball back in the first place, and then Vinnie sits with his +6.5 and watches this...

Sonny Vaccaro tells another story (The Audio)

The weekly segment with Sonny Vaccaro has recently featured quite a few fascinating stories. This week he told the story of how shoe companies (he) got into the business of paying college coaches, how that all started, and how schools became sponsored by Nike, or Adidas, etc. At one point I do not speak for 11 minutes. He is instant offense. Watch out for a few language slips as the audio here does not have a delay. Check it.

Vinnie Verno has seen the light

Vinnie Verno has never faced the kind of adversity that he has faced this year. He has been defeated in literally every single way possible. So tonight he took the time to evaluate every single pick that has been made the entire season, and what he found was a very powerful reason that the season has been so rough on him. There is a reason for the season. The bad news is that the season has been an abomination. The good news is the problem is extremely easy to correct, winning is on the way, and we have a billion games left to make us trillions. Vinnie has seen the light, and a bad day has turned into a beautiful day. Explanation will come in the next Vinnie segment. Fortunes are on the horizon. Fortunes!

Philanthropy (The Picks)

Central Michigan -7.5 over Buffalo

Tulsa -17 over Rice

Vegas messed with the bull, and now they get the horns. Fear not my friends, Vinnie Verno brings the heat this week. Make millions....

South Florida -24.5 over WKU- WKU is the worst team in the world. Line should be 40+.

UNC -4 over UCONN- Donald Brown is gone. QB stinks. UNC bombed them last yr. Now they just have to win by 5. Give me Butchie.

USC -6.5 over Ohio St.- This is just insulting. We have seen this movie a milion times.

Air Force +3.5 over Minnesota- Minn. is bologna. They have not beaten a good team in years, and they won't this week. Triple-option dog.

Kansas -12.5 over Utep- Down in the west Texas town of El Paso I fell in love with the mexican girl... and then built her a mansion because of this mortal lock pick. Infinity Stars pick.

Allen Iverson on the show (The Audio)

Allen Iverson on The Chris Vernon Show (9-10-09)

A.I. comin to Memphis

Allen Iverson is going to become a Grizzly. Iverson is one of the few true household names in the NBA. LeBron, Kobe, Shaq, Iverson... that is the list. The Grizzlies are getting killed in the national media for the move, but that is because many in the media have made the massive error of using logic in their analysis.

In order to understand the Grizzlies you need to think of how the Spurs front office (or whatever very credible organization) would run the team if they were in charge, and then imagine the opposite.

You have to go into every transaction the Grizzlies make with that understanding, and then you just hope the move has a chance at working out and makes for a more entertaining product.

Iverson fits the bill. I love it, but I had long ago given up hope that they had some kind of cohesive plan to build a championship level team in the future. I am just rooting for people to be interested in the team again, and this will certainly help (at least for a year).

Vinnie Verno and "The Promise"

Vinnie Verno came out of the gate with a dreadful 1-4 week. The message to Vegas is clear... they messed with the bull, and now they will get the horns. Watch out, because Vinnie Verno is gonna get the lights turned off in that town. In honor of Tim Tebow...

The Promise

“To the fans and everybody in Vinnie Verno Nation, I’m sorry. I’m extremely sorry. We were hoping for an undefeated season. That was my goal, something Vinnie Verno has never done here.”
“I promise you one thing, a lot of good will come out of this. You will never see any handicapper in the entire country pick as hard as I will pick the rest of the season. You will never see someone push the rest of Vinnie Verno Nation as hard as I will push everybody the rest of the season.”
“You will never see a man pick games harder than I will the rest of the season.”
“God Bless.”

Vinnie Verno (9-5-09)

His new song. Possibly his most absurd ever, but the audience speaks and the audience voted they loved it. Here it is...

Memphis/Ole Miss Song

Philanthropy (The Picks), with audio

Vinnie Verno is back for season number 2 after going a documented 63% last year. This is my way of giving back to you, the community. Let's get it....

Oklahoma -22 over BYU-- if Max Hall does not come out of this with brain damage it should count as a win.

Western Kentucky +30 over Tenn.-- come on, 30? might have taken this at 3pts. the coach is a bozo, in his first game. first game bozo rule applies.

Alabama -6.5 over V Tech-- when vtech plays an SEC team, they lose. go look it up. let me tell you the story of Tyrod Taylor... he stinks.. the end.

Maryland +21 over California-- Pac-10 overrated as usual. Maryland won straight up last year and now they lose by 3tds? the maryland qb is not great, but has played well in big spots.

Georgia +5.5 over Oklahoma St. -- Oklahoma State beats crappy teams, not good ones. Too hyped. Richt does not lose on road. Get money like T Boone.

Have a good weekend.

The Great Paulus (Part 2)

I wrote a blog post in 2007 called "The Great Paulus" (you can read it HERE). I then, a year later, felt like I had just won the Super Bowl when Gary Parrish wrote THIS. Gary finally saw the greatness I had been preaching to him for years.

Paulus ended his basketball career at the end of last season, but that is not where the story ends. He will be the starting QB at Syracuse this Saturday when the Orange open the season at home against Minnesota. I am praying he is not terrible. Oh, who am I kidding? There is no way he is gonna be terrible. Get ready for The Great Paulus part 2 (football edition). The Devil wears Orange. My shirt should be here by the weekend. Keep hatin.

Perfect

The report came out tonight that Michael Vick is going to be playing for the Eagles. Thank goodness. The team I dislike the most signs the convicted felon. Philadelphia has the fans with the least amount of class (see: cheering when Michael Irvin laid motionless on the turf), and now they have the biggest creepo in the league. The perfect marriage as far as I am concerned.

Teflon Don makes us officially Memphis

It took some years, but we finally became certified this weekend when I got this song in my inbox. I have always felt like we were nothing in Memphis until someone rapped about us. Memphis rapper Teflon Don (check him on itunes) did a song about the show. Watch out, it's a club-banger. Represent.

Oh No! National media is on to us!

Tom Ziller (who writes for the AOL Fanhouse) has been very good to the Grizzlies in the past. He has been one of the few national media members that have defended the Grizzlies. But Ziller, much like anyone with a brain, has seen what the Grizzlies are up to. Defenders of the way Heisley runs this team have gone from looking like homers to looking like lunatics. Ziller writes...

Hooray! The Grizzlies make money!

When the team was winning, the team lost money.
When the team is the worst in the NBA over the last three years, they have found a way to make money. Who cares about becoming a national laughingstock?
What great motivation to become a legitimate franchise that wins games and puts a great product on the floor.
Party at the moon tower.
This is great. Now when I argue with my friends of other NBA teams I will always be able to trump them. I can just say, "oh yeah, well my team is in the black!" Check mate.
I have been a sports fan my entire life and have never known how much money has been made or lost by my favorite teams. I have never cared.
I don't know any other sports fan that has ever cared about how much money their team made or lost.
