Stay tuned for college basketball write ups coming soon.
By the way, did anyone see the Wisconsin/Ohio State game yesterday? Great game. Too bad the Badgers couldn't pull off the win.
Also, what about the Atlanta Thrashers?? They were doing so well but have now lost 8 out of 11 games! Dang.

Falcons Player "Allegedly" Kills Girlfriend's Dog
La SportsChica has been away from the blog due to moving. Let me just say for the record: La Chica ain't moving again!
In my absence from cable and news (well, sporting news), I am just now reading about the most recent professional athlete's display of poor judgement, pure stupidity and, most important of all, inhumanity. The article below was taken from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's website. It is the story of Atlanta Falcon, Jonathan Babinueaux; he is accused of killing his girlfriend's dog.
At the risk of offending a lot of people who do not deserve to be offended, what is wrong with these worthless, hood rat, excuses for human beings? First it was Ron Artest starving his dog and now this guy killing a dog. Honestly, there's not much else I can say without going into a lot of offensive expletives that will certainly get me into trouble with some civil liberties agencies. Not that they read my blog but one never knows. So, judge for yourself as I go and express my true opinions on a more private stage:
Police: Falcons player killed dogGirlfriend's pet died of blunt force trauma to head, officials say
By George ChidiThe Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionPublished on: 02/21/07
Atlanta Falcons player Jonathan Babineaux killed his girlfriend's dog Sunday night, leading to his arrest on a charge of felony cruelty to animals, Gwinnett County police said Tuesday.
Babineaux, 25, of Lawrenceville called his live-in girlfriend, Blair Anderson, at the movies Sunday evening, where she had gone after they had a verbal argument, police said. Babineaux told her she needed to come home to check on her 1 1/2-year-old pit bull mix, Kilo.
Anderson, 24, told police she found the dog in "severe physical distress." She bundled the dog and drove to the Animal Emergency Center of Gwinnett near Lawrenceville. The dog vomited blood in the car and was pronounced dead at the hospital. The center summoned police.
Babineaux, a 6-foot-2, 286-pound defensive lineman, denied harming the dog when officers asked what happened, police said.
"Babineaux's accounts of what happened was inconsistent with the limited physical information provided by the Animal Emergency Center of Gwinnett," Cpl. Darren Moloney said in a written statement.
Police said they are still awaiting test results but added that preliminary information indicates the dog died from blunt force trauma to the head.
A person convicted of felony cruelty to animals could receive a sentence of one to five years and/or a fine not to exceed $15,000.
Babineaux could not be reached for comment Tuesday. His attorney, Pat McDonough, told the Journal-Constitution: "I have recently been retained, but my preliminary investigation reveals he did nothing wrong and we will defend him vigorously." McDonough declined to elaborate.
"Until we get the full facts, we've decided to withhold all comment," Babineaux's agent, Jack Bechta, told the AJC. "We want to make it clear there was not, and has never been, any instance of domestic violence."
The Falcons issued a statement saying they would have no comment because the issue was a personal and legal matter and referred all calls to Babineaux's attorney.
Babineaux was arrested at his townhouse at 12:59 a.m. Monday and was released a few hours later on $2,300 bond.
Animal control took the couple's other pit bull, Ace, for safe-keeping during the course of the investigation, police said.
In a letter sent to Gwinnett County District Attorney Daniel Porter, a copy of which was also sent to the AJC, Richard Rice, the Georgia state program director of the Humane Society of the United States, urged Babineaux to be prosecuted.
"If it is indeed true that Babineaux is responsible for maliciously killing his dog, then it is imperative that he be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, not only so that he is held accountable for animal suffering, but also because of the threat he poses to community safety in general," Rice wrote.
A second-round draft pick out of the University of Iowa in 2005, Babineaux played in all 16 games this season and made 28 tackles as a Falcons defensive tackle.

More NBA Stupidity
Check out the link below to read how former NBA player, Tim Hardaway hates gays:

Here's the thing, everyone has a right to his or her opinion but when you're in the public eye, it may not be the smartest thing to go on a radio show and admit that you hate a whole group of people.

Obnoxious Gator Swipes Obnoxious Wildcat Cheerleader
Now, that's a great blog title!
Now that the Gators have had and are having so much success, they're a target. People are tired of them winning in basketball, football and recruiting. It's a fact, we're over it but we're also a little jealous. However, it certainly does make for fun writing.
Check out this link:

Granted, the cheerleader should not be taunting a player but a player should never attempt to beat down a cheerleader's pom poms......I'm just sayin'.

When Did UConn Get So Bad?
Is it just me or does anyone else think that the University of Connecticut basketball team sucks this year? I was watching the game yesterday between the Huskies and Georgia Tech; it was horrible.
I have liked the Huskies for awhile now and I couldn't even begin to tell you why. I have a reason for my allegiance to all of my other teams but not this one. I guess I just like the coach and the mascot...I'm not gonna lie.
Now that football is completely over, I've turned my energies over to baseball and college basketball and much to my chagrin, the UConn Huskies suck this year. They may not even make it to the Big East tournament much less the NCAA tourney. That's just sad.
What's even sadder you ask? The Dixie Chicks winning all of those grammies. I hate those "b's". I'm just saying.

Ron Artest Starves His Dog
I wrote a blog back in November about how I hate the NBA. I listed several reasons but failed to leave out because Ron Artest is a worthless thug! Check out the link below about how Artest's Great Dane was removed from the dumbass player's 1.85 million dollar home for being underfed and starved. Give me an f-ng break (yup, I almost threw the F bomb at you). This gives La Chica more fodder for loathing the NBA:

Good For Them
I'm going to just get to the point and discuss my opinions about La Super Bowl.
Let me begin by saying that I LOVE that Devin Hester ran the kickoff back all the way! And let me also say that your Chica called that play before it happened. I believe my exact words were "watch Hester run it all the way back" or something similiar to that. Regardless, I called it. I wanted Indy to win but that was entertaining and it represented Cane nation in a positive way during a negative season. Good for him.
How about Peyton and the Colts? My friends tease me about being such a sports fanatic but still being a "girl". This is going to sound girly but who cares: I love that Tony Dungy won this Super Bowl. As I wrote last week, he's a class act and after the death of his son, he and his family needed something great and here it is. No, it's not going to bring back his child but it's still a feel good story. Good for Tony!
Rex Grossman, hmmm, what can I say. It wasn't all his fault that the Bears lost but all of those interceptions did not help their cause in the least. I almost felt sorry for him but then I caught myself and got over it. Buck up Rexy, it wasn't completely your fault. Your defense couldn't stop my little 12 pound Shih Tzu last night!!! I'm just sayin'.
And then there was Prince! Um, for those of us who grew up in the 80s, that show kicked it. I'm so glad that there were no American Idols, no Jessica Simpsons, etc. This man rocked the Super Bowl last night.....good for Prince!
As for the commercials, I kind of missed them. La Chica was at a sports bar watching the game and while the sound was up, it's still kind of hard to hear everything. Oh well. Good for me.

La Super Bowl
It's been a few days since your Chica has written anything; sorry about that but I was on vacation in fabulous Las Vegas! Can a Chica just say once again that I love me some gambling!!! I may have a problem.
On to the topic of the week, La Super Bowl. I know you all are dying for my prediction (insert sarcasm here), so here goes: Indianapolis Colts.
Reason? I keep going back to Peyton Manning. While I am tired of seeing Peyton on countless television commercials and I am certainly tired of hearing about the Manning football family tradition, I like old Peyton. Plus, I think he's a better, more deserving quarterback than Rex Grossman.
And then there's Tony Dungy: This is a class act all the way and after what he went through with the loss of his son in 2005, how can you not pull for him to win?! Don't get me wrong, I like Lovie Smith as well but I'm sticking with Dungy and the Colts.
Also, I'm hoping the commercials are worth the hype and that the game is a great one. I think it will be. Good luck Colts!
