Alabama wins, becomes dynasty; Kobe calls DHoward "soft", Melo vs Garnett scrappin? (PHOTOS)

SELive Tuesday HEADLINES:

TIDE ROLLS OVER IRISH, BEGINS DYNASTY

Bama rolls over Irish, heads towards Dynasty

(1) ALABAMA beats brakes off IRISH, head towards DYNASTY



    Alabama had to wait and see how the season played out after Heisman winner Johnny Manziel and Texas A&M dismantled them late in regular season play, and it seemed that their hopes for a repeat title would be dashed. However due to a couple teams falling in the polls, the Crimson Tide were able to play their way back into the BCS Title game..While the Irish were pulling 4 leaf clovers as well to get there...however Notre Dame luck seemed to run out as the Crimson Tide unleashed the beast, jumping out to a 28-0 lead and never looking back to a 42-14 win. With that, the Tide have moved into exclusive footing, as one of only 3 teams to ever win 3 of 4 Championships, therefore resulting in a real live DYNASTY. Bama dominated from the kickoff and never let up, as they now look to do what no team has done before; Win 3 in a row. As for Notre Dame? They have a freshman QB who will gain valuable experierence from the loss.

(2) Kobe calls Dwight Howard "SOFT", then fight ensues

When a man calls another man "Soft", normally 1 of 3 things will happen next:
(1) He will get decked in the eye, and a fight will occur.
(2) He will be grappled, thrown to the ground, cobra clutched into submission, therefore causing him to not be able to walk properly again
(3) He will take a picture with the guy who called him soft a day or two later after being restrained by the whole Laker team.
  Which one of these sounds like it happened? Not sure since nobody has confirmed exactly what happened, but take a look at this pic, and it does make you wonder... Did Kobe really call Dwight soft?  hmm.... take a look for yourself:

Kobe and DHoward gettin their "SOFT" pre-fight introductions on

Bottom line is this: The Lakers are 15-18 and going nowhere fast. Kobe's wants fight, so he's gonna push as many buttons as he can to right the ship. Question is, can he right this ship? Its sinking fast.


(3) Melo and KG scrappin, Melo takes it to bus after game

KG is one of the most feistiest, nastiest players in the NBA. A trash talking hall of famer. So it came as no suprise that he and the Knicks star player, would have a few words during the game. However, the Melo Man was so pissed off that he camped out at his bus and waited on him! The Celtics won the game 102-96, but I guess Melo wanted to win the war. After all, he shot poorly and his team lost at home, which definitely would piss anybody off. But headed to the bus? KG must have said some shiznit to have him ready to go to blows in the parking lot! Take a look here:



Melo waitin on KG for battle

Olympic Recap; DHoward to Lakers, Video of the Week, T.O to Seattle?, Reds Recap

What up Peoples!!  SportsEffectLive back to give you the updates on the hottest sports issues of the week / weekend...Heres the SELive HOT 5 ISSUES of the WEEK:



1) Olympic Talk                                                                                  SELive VIDEO OF THE WEEK

 Heading into end of Olympics, we have seen the Women step up in some crucial areas (gymnastics, water polo, volleyball, soccer, basketball) to help the USA surge to a 10 medal lead (90-80 over China) into the weekend...Usain Bolt wins the double 100 & 200 to do what NOBODY has ever done; win both events in back to back Olympics....And the mens USA hoops squad looks to bring home the gold this weekend....Has been a great Olympics, and should be a great closeout weekend for the USA squad.



                                                                                    
2) Dwight Howard gets traded to Lakers
    
       Finally the Dwightmare is over!! Howard was traded to the Lakers in a four team trade in which Bynum will head to Philly, Andre Iguadola to the Nuggets and Aaron Affalo and Al Harrington to the Magic; Id have to say the Magic gave up the MOST in this trade and got the LEAST...They did get some 1st round picks, but they should have gotten more than they did. And on top of that,the Lakers was able to keep Pau Gasol, in which Kobe is still doing backflips about.


3) NFL PreSeason Action, Signings
    Pre-Season action has kicked off this week with the Hall of Fame game, and now with the first week of games heading into this weekend...RG3, Peyton, and Mike Vick all got some action thursday...The Bengals will take on the Jets, who have been the Super Bowl champs of MEDIA COVERAGE....After months of pleading, Terrell Owens signs a 1-yr deal with the Seahawks...Word is that Plaxico Burress could be headed to Cowboys..hmmm
  

4) Norris Cole , Daequan Cook headline Charity Event

    Norris Cole and Daequan Cook will be headlining a Charity Hoops Event  Saturday at Stivers High School. The Charity event is Cook's, and will feature some pros on exhibition as Cook raises money for his foundation to get kids into college. Doors open at 6 and will start at 7.


5) Reds Recap
   After winning 10 straight and accumulating the best record in baseball, the Reds have lost 3 in a row; They still lead the division, but mounting up losing streaks during this time won't help the cause...Votto is a few weeks away, but I think that the Reds got a little bit of luck by running all those W's without missing Votto. Its starting to seep in, but Reds must continue to have a killer instinct in order to hold off pesky Pirates or late charging Cardinals.

Top 5 Sporting Events of Weekend

This weekend before the 4th of July featured some HUGE SPORTING fireworks going on, with the Major League All-Star picks, Track and Field Trials, and High School BBall Shootouts and 7 on 7 High School Football goin' down.....Here's the SELive Hot 5 Events last weekend... Have a great 4th of July!! ENJOY

1. Tiger Wins.....Again.
           When Tiger Woods won a few weeks ago, sports people was ready to annoint him king again; All you heard was "Tigers Back!"; then he promptly played sub-par for the final two rounds in the Open, and the wagon-riders fell off faster than Dwight Howard leaving Orlando, saying "Tiger will never be like he used to be!"...well looks like he might be headed back to domination nation, passing Jack Nicklaus for second on ALL-TIME WINS...And as Tiger threw a little salt in the wound of all the reporters, golfers, standbyers and haters during his press conference, you could almost hear him saying in the infamous words of Dave Chappelle, "4 shizzle"

2. Spain wins UEFA EURO Cup 2012.... Again

          When you think of dominance or a dynasty, you think of a team winning multiple Championships in a 5-10 year span. And right on cue, what the Spaniards did to Italy in the Final (4-0) is the crowning achievement to a team who plays with the style and flair that you would see in the Spanish dance floors.  Spain has won the last 3 Major Soccer Championship Events (EURO Champions 2008 & 2012 and World Cup 2010) and became the 1st Team in history to repeat as back to back EURO Cup Champions. When looking for a comparison as to how great this team is? How about Brazil in the Pele days?....and......thats it folks. And when you watch the Spaniards play, you know you are watching GREATNESS. They have guys who can score from anywhere, anytime. They control the ball and do whatever they want. They know all the angles and are a complete team. Just to let you know how dominant they were: Italy, who completely outplayed the #2 ranked Germany team, riding the most dominant scorer in the tourney (Balotelli)..Balotelli was suffocated to the point after the game he pushed his coaches out of the way - literally - to get to the locker room.

Balotelli jerkin around

3. Brandon McKinney Youth Camp, 7 on 7 weekend

Brandon McKinney 7 on 7 Passing Camp

        Chaminade -Julienne grad and current Indianapolis Colt Brandon McKinney hosted a great sports weekend for the youth this weekend as he held his youth camp (saturday) and high school 7 on 7 football camp(sunday) out at Trotwood-Madison High School. McKinney has played in the NFL for a while now, and he loves being able to give back to the community. He told us that he was "excited" for the opportunity to play in Indy and looks forward to having a chance to be a starter and showcase his skills. He also loves the fact that Indy is relatively close to Dayton, so family and friends will get to see him play. Major props to McKinney. There was hundreds of kids to show up for the camp, and notable playoff teams such as Thurgood Marshall & C-J, along with Columbus teams and the State Champion Rams who provided some great action. Coach Douglass was qouted as saying "Some new faces will have to step up this year" which will provide some exciting storylines for the Rams.















4. Daequan Cook High School Shootout 

      Continuing on the local note, Dunbar hoop legend and Oklahoma City Thunder G Daequan Cook held his High School Shootout this weekend at the Dunbar and Stivers High School. Cook, who attended the Shootout as well, is another guy who loves giving back to the community. With the amount of talent in the city area, the Shootout had all the City League Teams as well as other schools. Cook continues to help out the city which helped him realize his dream. Cook was dissapointed that his Thunder didn't get the NBA Title, but feels his squad will be back next season.

5. Major League Baseball All-Star snubs, Cueto takes LaRussa's girl?
     Major League Baseball announced their All-Stars this weekend and the Reds were not happy with the omission of Johnny Cueto and Brandon Phillips. Manager Dusty Baker was pissed, and said BPhillips not being on the team was a major mistake and was baffled, while Cueto was a little more blunt saying himself, "My numbers were very good. Maybe the Manager (All-Star Game) was mad that I was dating his girlfriend." Girlfriend? Huh? Ok, first... whos the All-Star Manager? Oh yeah, Tony LaRussa, the manager of the Cardinals. The one who still holds a grudge over Cueto spiking his players like Bruce LeeRoy and BPhillips squaring off against Cards in the Brawl in Cincy a couple years ago. Hey, I thought LaRussa was married? He has a girlfriend?....Hmmm...What's really goin' on LaRussa?

6. Free Agency Begins in the NBA

Superman to Brooklyn?

      I think this summers free agency is actually BETTER than last years, with all the big names that will be on the move - or not.  Starting with Dwight Howard, to Steve Nash, to Deron Williams, to OJ Mayo, to Roy Hibbert, to Brandon Roy coming back, this summer will shape the NBA newest team to challenge the Heatles. Remember SELive Says: Whoever gets the blockbuster deal will be in the NBA Conference Finals THIS SEASON. Chalk it up.


HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!  DON'T BLOW YASELF UP TRYING TO LIGHT SPARKLERS!
