Sports: Smith, Atlanta Hawks Roll Over LeBron and The Miami Heat
Atlanta’s sports franchises won significant victories over world class contenders this past weekend.
First, the Atlanta Falcons overpowered the hapless Washington Redskins — knocking out star quarterback Robert “RG3″ Griffin III in the process. Griffin, 22, left the game in the 3rd quarter following a vicious clothesline hit from Atlanta linebacker Sean Weatherspoon.
Griffin suffered a cut lip and what the Redskins described as a “mild concussion”. It was more like a case of lost nerves. RG3′s NFL career will be brief if he heads to the locker room after every NFL-size hit. He’s playing with the big boys now. He will need to toughen up.
The Falcons went on to defeat the Redskins by a score of 24-17 to remain undefeated at 5-0 for the first time in Falcons franchise history.
Then on Sunday, Josh Smith and the Atlanta Hawks stomped all over LeBron James and the world champion Miami Heat 92-79 in their first preseason game. James finished with 10 points. Former Boston Celtics star guard Ray Allen, who made his debut in a Miami Heat uniform, was no help. He contributed 10 points and 5 assists in the loss to Atlanta.
Chris Bosh had a game high 22 points and 6 rebounds. And Smith finished with 21 points and 4 rebounds for Atlanta. Miami’s star guard Dwyane Wade did not play. He is still nursing his left knee.

Good morning Sandra.
Pre-season games count for nothing. It’s like a warm-up. No one is going to over extend themselves for a game that doesn’t count. If LeBron had 10 points you know it was pretend.
Good morning hun. Tough loss for the Heat, huh?
They don’t even use the starters really in Pre-season. This is coming from a Heat hater.
Pre-season counts for nothing at all…the Heat will be fine. I haven’t been this excited about basketball since the days of Jordan with the Bulls…I was a youngin’ back then but I remember how intense basketball was…
loved every minute of it.

@ Auntie…this is for u hun so u can stop claiming these folks
Jon Hubbard, a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives, has written a new book in which he says slavery was “a blessing” for African-Americans, among other questionable statements.
Hubbard, a first term Republican from Jonesboro, Ark., makes a series of racially charged statements in the self-published book, including saying that integration of schools is hurting white students, that African slaves had better lives under slavery than in Africa, that blacks are not contributing to society, and that a situation is developing the United States which is similar to that of Nazi Germany.
The questionable statements in Hubbard’s book, “Letters to the Editor: Confessions of a Frustrated Conservative,” were first reported by Arkansas Times and TalkBusiness.net.
Regarding slavery, Hubbard wrote:
“… the institution of slavery that the black race has long believed to be an abomination upon its people may actually have been a blessing in disguise. The blacks who could endure those conditions and circumstances would someday be rewarded with citizenship in the greatest nation ever established upon the face of the Earth.” (Pages 183-89)
On the subject of school integration, Hubbard described black students as having a “a lack of discipline and ambition,” which he said has hurt the entire educational system.
Hubbard also tackled immigration and said that Christians in America are in a similar position to that of Germans during Hitler’s rise to power.
… the immigration issue, both legal and illegal … will lead to planned wars or extermination. Although now this seems to be barbaric and uncivilized, it will at some point become as necessary as eating and breathing.” (Page 9)
Hubbard declined to comment on the book when contacted by The Huffington Post, saying that he did not have time.
An Air Force veteran, Hubbard sells insurance in Arkansas and Missouri. He serves on several legislative committees, including ones dealing with issues related to aging, insurance, telecommunications, and waterways and aeronautics policy.
On his campaign website, Hubbard says he will defend Christianity as a state lawmaker.
“And perhaps the most important pledge I can make to the people of District 58, the citizens of Arkansas, and to myself, is to do whatever I can to defend, protect, and preserve our Christian heritage,” Hubbard says on his website. “Regardless of one’s religious beliefs, if we as a nation continue to turn away from those Christian principles and values upon which this great nation was founded, we will have truly lost everything worth saving!”
Hubbard has a history of taking conservative stances in the legislature. In June, he called for the University of Arkansas to be audited to see if tax money had been spent on a panel discussion about undocumented immigrants. In February, he asked the state Department of Health to implement a policy that would require birth certificates be produced by anyone seeking non-emergency medical care in a hospital in order to prove their citizenship.

WHY?? that creepy looking couple was a perfect match
@Ty, i read that shyt earlier..
I know Harlem it gives me the sads
@Naija
I agree! Before integration blacks of all social classes lived together and went to the same schools.
OTB – how I see it before integration blacks were opening their own schools, becoming lawyers, doctors, educators…integration comes and folks dropping out of high school like an overflowing sink…Brown v Board was not about blacks needing to be in white schools but actually having the same tools as the whites (i.e. you got a book from 1930, give us a book from 1930)…felt the ‘negroe’ community was a lot strong separate than integrated
@Naija, Sassy has requested that i ask u to Email her… iono what addy u emailing tho
@Naija We looked at how integration played a negative parts in blacks lives in African American Families my sophomore year…they knew what they were doing when they incredible us over!
Taking my bf to the 11/9 regular season Hawks vs Heat. We have no doubt the Heat will pull it out…

@SIS
They better run if you start mumbling about your Swingline stapler.
So Gyps you really only fonting in emotes but what the hail prompted that shake of what yo mama gave you..
LUvn Back is feelign better. Friday, when our temp dropped 50 degrees, my back was SCREAMIN’ yo!

Why they trying to make me work on this here Colombus day??
Hey purty ladies, its officially fall
Have ya’ll seen the 30 for 30 episode Broke, chile ninjas was spending money like they had a death wish for tomorrow. When I heard about all that money they would spend in a month, I was like damn all my Sallie Mae loans would have been paid.
@Naija I agree, read some articles on the Brown v. Board and the way the supreme court justices wrote out everything states could find loop holes. I honestly believe the fight for integration was more about choice than anything else, but oh well!
The ones showing her “stomach” are exceptional
Yeah we discussed it last week, 30 for 30 has another good one coming on about the mens olympic track stars <_<
Why they trying to make me work on this here Colombus day??
