What is it at the moment? What’s going on???
In the last 2 weeks, we had two of the biggest flip-flops occur in the sports-world. First, we had Kobe Bryant with his “Trade-me-wait-no-don’t-trade-me” tirade (does anyone know what he wants at the moment?), then we had Billie Donovan with his “I wannabe an NBA coach… wait, no I don’t” (shortest tenure ever as an NBA coach?). How brilliant a flip-flop were both? Both were sheer head-scratching in the stupidity involved. Not to say either Kobe Bryant or Billy Donovan are stupid – both are (from what I hear/read) very intelligent guys – but the acts were (stupid).
So, it got me thinking… what reversals would we want to see? Who could perform an about-face that would rival these two?
Some examples…
Shaq returns to the Lakers… (c’mon, who wouldn’t love to see this? <rolls eyes>) The big guy could come up with a great new nickname for it (The Big Prodigal Son?), and state that he’s glad to be back – wishes he never left, and come up with a new pithy nickname for Kobe after claiming him as his ’sidekick’. Better than Cain & Abel…
The Rocket changes his mind just prior to his first start. He wants to play in … Boston. Announcement made Friday June 8th (just prior to when he would’ve started for the Yanks) where he’s flown in by helicopter on top of the Green Monster at Fenway…
With Malice’s first ever competition!!!
So… I thought I’d have a competition (to celebrate my first week of existence) to see who can give us the best possible flip-flop situation! Brush off your creativity, and create a story… Best entry will get a t-shirt (from Japan) and some other stuff from Japan (interesting stuff – beer?). The more details to it, the better the entry – the better your chance of winning!!! Post your entries in the comment section!!!
- Entries must be a reversed situation sports story (as with the real-life stories of Kobe & Donovan, or the fanciful examples above) that could be regarded as a ‘flip-flop’.
- Winner will be selected by a committee of… err… me (& maybe a few guests from like-minded blogs)…
- The time frame is at this stage undecided…
- Winning entry will be announced on this site, and contacted via email.
(note: I’ll pay postage!
)
Ok… let’s hope this works and I get more than 2 entries!

“All Blacks Announce Black is ’so last year’”
In a surprise announcement today, the NZRFU released a statement saying that the All Blacks playing strip will be radically redesigned for this years World Cup. The decision to change to a hot pink uniform has caught many by surprise but spokesperson Carson Kressley (From Queer Eye for the Straight Guy) said “Pink is the new black, darling and black is so last year”.
No All Black players were available for comment at the time of this article.
