If You Bet Against the Lakers, You Will Have to Take Nnamdi Asomugha Bowling

PrintThere's important news out of the Oakland Raiders' training camp today. Head coach Tom Cable took the team bowling in Napa Valley. Why would he do such a thing? Because he stupidly bet against the Lakers in the NBA Finals.
Paul Gutierrez of the Sacramento Bee blew the lid off this breaking story:
Call it a bonding experience. It was also the payoff of a bet between Cable and cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha. Cable picked the Boston Celtics to beat the Lakers in the NBA finals. Asomugha had the Lakers. As such, Cable had to take the entire team out bowling in Napa Wednesday night. And Asomugha’s team of Daniel Loper, John Owens and receivers coach Sanjay Lal won.
"It was huge (for team morale)," Asomugha said. "I had never spoken to Loper or Owens, didn’t know anything about them, and now we’re rooting for each other. We’re on the same team, high-fiving. It was great."
Said defensive end Jay Richardson: "Somehow, Nnamdi just keeps on getting money. The rich just get richer, huh?"
Do they ever. Like defensive end Jay Richardson, I've learned some very important lessons from this incident.
First, if you're dumb enough to bet against the Lakers, your life will turn out horrible. Specifically, you'll end up being head coach of the Raiders.
Second, there are apparently bowling alleys in Napa Valley.
Third, I'm glad Nnamdi Asomugha doesn't play for the Lakers because his name is really hard to type out and I'd always be having to look it up. I don't have all day here, man. This is a blog, not a spelling bee.

OK, that was weird.
Clicked on Silver Screen and Roll, and saw a Raider.
But then I clicked on Silver and Black Pride, and saw…a Raider.

I realize my comment may have sounded snarky,
but this is actually the kind of fun find that I like hearing about during the off-season.
Plus you were able to combine two of my favorite teams into one story. Kudos.

The Raiders confirming what we already knew. They don't understand winning.
"Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character." - John Wooden
Which makes it sad that Asomugha is on the team
He’s a beast.
To secure ourselves against defeat lies in our own hands, but the opportunity of defeating the enemy is provided by the enemy himself.
Oh 67, why aren't there more Laker/Raider fans like us.

I don’t like the second half of that equation, but I know some people who do and we don’t get along very well. lol. jk.

But you and I get along famously, Marty.
My “kind of” was for the second half of that equation. I think once a Raiders fan, always a Raiders fan, even when they leave you for another city.

Nmamdi Asomugha is like Samuel L. Jackson's wallet......
A Bad Mother Fucker. He’s a pretty decent actor too. He did an episode of Leverage and played a bodyguard.

YAY! A fellow Leverage fan?
Hardison’s my favorite. Revenge of the nerds :)

I like them all......
Probably Hardison the most though.
Billy Mac: "Lamar, can you see yourself actually getting in the (boxing) ring"?
Lamar Odom: "No. My face is too pretty."
whoa wait, Nnamdi Asomugha was in this season's episode of Leverage?!
He was that ridiculously good looking bodyguard In the “Scheherazade Job” where Hardison has to play a violin solo.
He wasn’t too bad acting wise. Granted he didn’t have too many lines but his fight with Eliot was pretty awesome.

hilarious shit
Don’t you love the chase? Sometimes it doesn’t work out; those are the stakes. But when it does work out, it’s like having that first cigarette: your head gets all dizzy, your heart pounds, your knees go weak. Remember that?

I don’t have a problem saying, ‘Your franchise player sucks.’ - Ron Artest
Yeah Dex, I was like who the what, is that a name or what? but hey you learn something everyday
and this is one name I will forget, think you’ve heard it all but more crazy names just come out of nowhere, glad he was smart enough to know Lakers would win but that name has got to go, he needs a nickname or something help the fans out, glad I’m not a raiders fan.
There are basic Fundamentals that are needed to move forward in this game. Always keep your guard up at all times to avoid being caught in a trap. Overcome the fouls that will be committed against you REBOUND AND PRESS ON. ADJUST to the Limelight: ALL-STAR PLAYERS ARE ALWAYS THE CENTER OF ATTENTION. Know what your role is and play your position. Find a game plan and execute it. REMEMBER YOU ONLY GET OUT OF THE GAME WHAT YOU PUT INTO IT.
I'm glad you're not a Raider fan, too.
And he’s actually got a few nicknames: Awesome1, Aso, Nam’, Greatest CB in the NFL… the list goes on.
The jokes fall flat, as usual. But the meat of the story taken from the legitimate source was great.

I swear I heard this story on NFL network months ago.
I think they were interviewing Nnamdi and this topic was brought up.
