Boogie Always Flops: A Lesson on Physics

Let's talk about DeMarcus Cousins, big guy right? Time to dive straight to the point, Boogie isn't fooling anyone with his flops.

March 23rd, 2019 (Jose Carlos Fajardo/Bay Area News Group).

DeMarcus Cousins Stats:
Height: 6'11"
Weight: 269 lbs
Girth: Big ol' dude

Basically, the guy is a beefcake. According to Psych Guides, the average NBA player weighs 222.04lbs (Body Image 2019, Psych Guides). With this information we can deduce that Boogie weighs well above average for the NBA. Because he weighs a lot more than the average player, he should get the message that no one is fooled by his flops. It's just basic physics. If Boogie bumps into someone and falls over, the odds that he himself should fall are slim. Sure, he could just be slipping on the basketball court. If that's the case, he needs new shoes because blatantly flailing like a ballerina isn't going to improve any ref's call. Boogie, you need to get the message, stop flopping, you aren't going to push a foul in your favor on these refs.

Saturdays are for the Bees

We as humanity have not given bees enough credit. Without those boys we would most certainly die. In order to protect our humble bumble bros, we need more signs like this.

Sure Saturday's may be for the boys, but they can also be for the bees as well. Frat bros can celebrate both being hung over on a Sunday as well as repping life to those who keep them alive in the first place. A couple years back I performed my first rescue as a lifeguard on a bee, and of my three total rescues, saving that bee was my best rescue. I am sure that the humans I saved would agree as well. A bee's life is important because with every bumble boy saved, a flower can be pollinated, and faith can be restored in the future of humanity.

Next time you see a bee, wish it well and don't kill it, because if you do, you're putting your own life at risk.

Kevin Durant isn't Playing in the Finals, Face it America.


Achilles or lower calf injury, Kevin Durant is not playing in the finals. You heard it here, probably not first though. The Warriors have been playing the media since Kevin hurt himself. Is this a ploy to confuse the Raptor's game plan? If so, it hasn't been working.



With the series at 3-1, Raptors leading, the Warriors really need to scramble in order to make this next win. The Warriors also do not have home court advantage putting them in an extra crappy situation. Maybe they can pull through and make the Raptors blow a 3-1 lead rather than them this time, but there has not been much improvement in game play since game one, especially because Klay Thompson isn't playing as well. If this series has taught us something, Steph can't just be a one-man show.

With the every game of the finals, Durant has been questionable to play until the day before or day of they announce that he will not be playing. Of course this happened to game 5 as well, which is airing tomorrow June 10th. Durant could be overcompensating his heel/calf injury to make himself feel more important to the team, and if that's his plan, it's working. His injury must be "heeled" enough for him to not be wearing an ankle brace, and if there is a game 6, maybe the warriors will make it to game seven with a Durant comeback. This is highly unlikely, because without Kevin Durant in game 5, there will be no game six, period. The questionability for game five leads me to believe that he is not playing, due to history of these NBA Finals, therefore, the Raptors are winning in 5.

Is Tom Brady Retiring? His Nth Allegation.

After browsing through my usual facebook feed, I passed by a post by Tom Brady that quoted Jay-Z (Rest In Peace Nicole Curran due to the Beyhive debacle).

"Treat my first like my last, and my last like my first!" This begs the everlasting question... is Tom Brady retiring next year?

After some research, I had found no journalistic perspective on this take probably due to the fact that this question comes up every other month. However, when Brady does eventually retire, who is going to take his place?

I was hopeful to have Jimmy Garoppolo as the quarterback to take Tom's place, however due to being traded to the Niners, that idea is no longer promising. My premonition is that Bill Belichick is scheming up a plan for a new QB. The Patriots will have 14 draft picks in the 2020 NFL Draft, and Bill Belichick must be looking out for his next QB. Either that, or he is thinking about taking his benched QBs out for a spin.

Tom Brady just came out saying that he would love to play until 45 but this next year is his "most important year" (Today, June 9th 2019). Obviously because Tom is a machine, he may be able to make it that long, but why is he so set on this year being the most important of his career. Surely retirement could be a possibility. Without Rob Gronkowski, Tom will have to push further to try and get his seventh ring. Yes, the Patriots have Julian Edelman who is a beast and a half (some of that having to do with speeding up his recovery process with 'roids), however is the current team enough for them to secure their next ring? If they do not secure a 7th ring, is Tom Brady not going to retire until he gets it? If they don't win Super Bowl LIV, is Belichick going to search for that new quarterback, or post-pone it until Tom decides to retire. Looks like we are just going to have to see what this next season brings Brady, Bill and the Patriots.
