Seriously Kobe, What Does It Taste Like?

By now, you should have seen Shaq's "freestyle" blast on Kobe. And you want to talk about a breathalyzer for Cedric Benson's car, how about one for Shaq's microphone? Thankfully George Carlin was not alive to hear that. That was slightly amusing, but only because it's fun to think of a club full of people asking Kobe how Shaq's bum tastes.

Unfortunately for us, this will probably be as far as it goes. Kobe only does videos when he is ripping on his own teammates. So unless those kids who videotaped Kobe outside of Pacific Whey run into the reigning MVP, there isn't much hope.

But if Kobe really had a sense of humor, he'd find Shaq's wife Shaunie and take a cue from Jimmy Kimmel.

"I'm (expletive)ing your wife Shaunie"
"He's (expletive)ing your wife Shaunie"
"And I just wanted you to know."

"I'm (expletive)ing your wife Shaunie"
"He's (expletive)ing your wife Shaunie"
"Hey Shaq learn to make a free throw."

Yeah, but that's not going to happen. Shaq did try to back peddle by saying that he was only joking around. That he also once dissed Vlade Divac. (Because that's the same.) Making fun of Kobe losing in the NBA Finals is funny. Claiming that he was the reason for your divorce, not so much.

Still, because Shaq is kind of a joker that attempted spin is much better than what Don Imus is trying to do.

Imus, when hearing a story about the legal troubles of Adam Jones (where has he been, it wasn't like he was working until recently?), asked what color the Cowboys cornerback was. When hearing that Jones was black he said, �Now we know.� Because yes, it was a huge mystery what color an NFL cornerback would be. Unless it�s Jason Sehorn, you are probably pretty clear.

Imus then retracted sort of, saying that he meant that Pacman was being targeted because he was black, not committing crimes because he was black. Yes, sure. This, however, is very troubling. Not that Imus said something stupid. But rather that it�s going to give Al Sharpton a reason to feel important again. Perfect. Maybe Sharpton and Imus should have a freestyle contest to settle this thing.
