Avery Johnson Fired

Posted in Coaches Getting Fired, NBA on April 30, 2008 by Beast Mode

So apparently I can predict the future.  Avery Johnson and the Dallas Mavericks decided to part ways today.  I mean I knew he was going to be fired…but this quick (maybe it did go down like this)?  Cuban could have at least shown the man a little respect and given him a week.  But we all know that that isn’t Mark Cuban’s way.  So who is the best coach for this team now?  If D’Antoni is fired like it is reported, I can see him being the perfect fit for this team.  I mean they were the Suns before the Suns were the Suns.  You get what I am saying?

The Bills Drafted Some Interesting Characters On Day 2

Posted in Buffalo Bills, NFL, NFL Draft, Videos with tags , , , on April 30, 2008 by Beast Mode

As you can probably tell by the name of the blog, Beast Mode being Marshawn Lynch’s nickname, I am a Buffalo Bills fan.  And with the draft having concluded last weekend, I already have two late round picks that I hope make the team this year, and I have video to back this claim up.

  • Overall Pick #147: LB Alvin “Ace” Bowen – Compliance Linebacker

 

  • Overall Pick #224: WR Steve Johnson – Freestyle Rapper

 

Now both players should be making the 53 man roster, and put him with Bills’ RB Marshawn Lynch, the possibilities are endless.

 

I think that this team has the potential of being the NFL’s version of the Washington Wizards.  The cheeky fun side of the Washington Wizards that is.  Not the “LeBron is overrated…lets hurt him…I support dogfighting” part of the Washington Wizards.  You got the blogging star of the team (Gilbert Arenas – Marshawn Lynch), and the two young guys (Nick Young & Dominic McGuire – Alvin Bowen & Steve Johnson).  Lets only hope the results are the same (making the playoffs – the Bills haven’t done that since 1999). 

The Adventures Of Mark & Avery: The Firing

Avery & Mark

Mavericks’ Locker Room – 15 minutes after loss

Mark:  Hey Avery, what’s up?

Avery:  Eh nothing much, just trying to regroup after this playoff loss.

Mark:  Shouldn’t you be used to this by now?

Avery:  What?

Mark:  Nothing.  I need to talk to you.

Avery: What up?

Mark:  Hold on a second, I have to get all of these silly bloggers out of here.

Avery:  This must be serious.

Mark:  It is…ummm…Avery I am going to  have to fire you.  So I guess you should gather up your stuff.

Avery:  Are you serious?  This is so sudden!

Mark:  Really Avery…I mean you convince me to trade for Jason Kidd, and your team has been playing like crap ever since!

Jason Kidd Bike

Avery:  Well you can’t blame all of this on me…it’s not my fault if Josh Howard is high all of the time!

Mark:  I think it is.  What about that players only practice yesterday.

Avery:  Well…

Mark:  That’s what I thought!

Avery:  Yeah…well…you sucked on Dancing With The Stars!

Mark Cuban Dancing With The Stars

Mark:  That may be true…but tell me I didn’t look damn sexy.

Avery:  …I can’t, you looked fabulous.

(In case you are not sure, this did not actually happen.  Imagine if it did though…it would have been awesome!)

Point of this?  Well, I think Avery Johnson is going to be fired.  In part, because the team has started to tune him out, but mainly because this is the third straight year in which a Mavericks team that should have one their respective series (Yes they were a 7 seed this year, but nobody was giving New Orleans a shot until after game 1) lost.

Despite what the name of the blog and the header make you want to believe, this blog is not about or run by Marshawn Lynch.  He (His nickname) is merely the namesake of this blog.  So what is Beast Mode?  This is going to be a sports blog (yes, another one).  Now I am new to this whole blogging scene, but seeing all these professional athletes with blogs, I figure I can do this.  I mean, I am just like them…minus the whole athleticism thing, the fame, the fans, the money…you know what, I am just depressing myself.  Anyway stay tuned as there should be some interesting things posted here.  Oh and just for fun, my inspiration:
