Newsflash


The recent talk surrounding the 76ers has involved the futures of guards Andre Iguodala and Louis Williams, who are restricted free agents. Yesterday that talk was put on hold - for at least a day - as the Sixers reached an agreement with free-agent guard Royal Ivey. The 6-foot-4 player from the University of Texas was Atlanta's second-round pick, the 37th overall, in 2004. He played three seasons with the Hawks before playing last season - his most productive - with the Milwaukee Bucks, averaging 5.6 points, 2.1 assists, 1.6 rebounds and 19.2 minutes. He and the 76ers agreed on a multiyear, minimum-salary contract believed to include significant guaranteed money. The minimum salary for a player with four years in the NBA is $854,957. Last season, Ivey made $770,610. His agent, Keith Glass, said he had met with the Sixers during last week's NBA Summer League competition in Las Vegas. The two parties, Glass said, spent three or four days in negotiations. Ivey had offers from three other NBA teams, but settled on the 76ers because he felt they presented the best opportunity for success, Glass said. "He's been promised nothing," Glass said. "He likes that. Everything is fair and even, and he'll earn it on the court." Ivey is known for his defense, and will most likely see time behind Williams. He played 75 games last season, starting 20. Ivey is a career 33.1-percent three-point shooter, but averaged 40.0 percent from beyond the arc in 2005-06. "He's known as a lockdown defender because he can guard two spots," Glass said. "He's tough, and he's starting to knock down threes, too." Glass said Ivey would have remained in Milwaukee if not for coaching and management changes. Playing both guard positions, Ivey was a four-year starter at Texas, going to four NCAA tournaments and one Final Four. He finished his college career with 1,036 points, which ranks 24th on the Longhorns' all-time list.

Today I want to discuss bad friends.  Now, I'm not
talking bout low down dirty friends, just bad friends.  The people I am
talking about are the ones that let their "friends" walk out the house
looking a HOT mess!  See, I used to say the people looking a hot mess need
to be shot when I saw them on the street, but now I realize its not their
fault.  It's the people that are with them fault!  We all have our moments
that something looks hot to us when we lay it out.  Sometimes we lay it out
on the bed and it is great but then once we put it on, it's a negative! Well
some people never think to take that second look.  It is for these people
that friends are SOO soo important. Now, I can hear some of you moan and
groan that you don't want to hurt your friends feelings. TRUST me, it is
better for you to sting their ego a little bit now, then for you all to be
embarrassed later!  So I have compiled a list of situations and then the
appropriate responses to said situations...

Situation number one:
You and your friends are waiting for your "big boned" friend to come out the
room so you all can go to the club.  She appears in spandex tights and a 5
times too small pleather jacket with her enormous boobs sticking out the
top...
BAD response:
You look HOT!!
Better Response:
Naw girl you know that outfit is tooo hot for this club! I aint trying to
fight off dudes all night!  You need to go tone it down a bit...
BEST Response:
YOU KNOW D@MN WELL YO @SS IS TOO FAT TO WEAR THAT SHYT! IF YOU DON'T TAKE YO
@SS AND GO PUT SOME D@MN CLOTHES ON!!

Situation number two:
You are about to go to church. Your friend comes down the stairs in an
outfit that you know you saw her wear to the club last week.
Bad Response:
Aww that's cute!
Better Response:
Oh mom is coming! Maybe you should wear that dress she bought you for
Christmas...
BEST Response:
YOU LOOK LIKE A STRAIGHT HOE!  IF YOU DON'T TAKE YO @SS AND GO PUT SOME D@MN
CLOTHES ON!!

Situation number three:
Your man comes down looking like he could cut somebody with the wrinkles in
his shirt.  
Bad Response:
Your so fine baby
Better response:
Hey baby you look hot but let me crisp you up some...
BEST Response:
I KNOW D@MN WELL YOU DON'T THINK YOU ARE GOING WITH ME LOOKING LIKE THAT!!
IF YOU DON'T TAKE YO @SS UP STAIRS AND IRON THAT SHIRT!

I do not have the time to write out any more responses. I am not "Tommy" and
therefore I do have some work to do.  Some other situations in which you
probably should speak up include:

1) your friend with the jacked up feet that always wants to wear sandals...
2) your friend that doesn't know that polka dots and stripes don't match
EVER...
3) your friend that is obviously color blind...
4) your friend that is pregnant but refuses to stop wearing her pre
pregnancy clothes
5) your friend that thinks going "natural" means to stop combing her hair
6) your friend that looks like a d@mn clown whenever she walks out the house
purely do to the excessive amount of make up she is wearing
7) your friend that doesn't need to get perms because she got "good" hair
when in actuality its good and nappy
8) your friend (guy friend) that wears shorts down to his d@mn ankles!
**What the H#ll is the point of that!!**
9) your friend that is black as midnight but always wants to wear neon
clothes and lipstick...

The best responses to all these situations will always have in it with "IF
YOU DON'T TAKE YO @SS..." This has been a public service announcement...
Have a good day!
