A Mini Treatise on Error and the True Context of Kyle Williams' Error

The last time I checked, mistakes are quite abundant among most people. I don’t think there is any human on this planet that isn’t subject to fallibility. Everyone makes mistakes, no? When you’re at the grocery store and there is a miss-scan on an item, you don’t throw your arms up in disbelief and demand the manager. Well, unless you’re quite particular about your checkout time and a freakin nut. But most of us would just dismiss it and go on about our days and never think about it again. Granted, some mistakes are more heavily weighed than others, and make a much bigger impact than others. But, unless someone died as a result of one’s mistake, there is usually no need to throw a fit. They are, after all, unintentional. Mistakes are natural and contingent on the context.

(Kyle Terada- US PRESSWIRE)

Now, sports fans are notorious for their outrageous behavior. Hell, humans in general are notorious for not being the most rational animals at times –and yes, we are animals and subject to our instincts, but that’s another rant altogether. We do dumb things sometimes! Now, you combine our human nature which has its flaws – or rather, they are flaws depending on the environment, and you take a social media apparatus such as Facebook, or Twitter, and you get a sometimes nasty concoction that will make many cringe at the first sight of these ugly pixelations. Let me make this next statement as blatant as possible; PEOPLE WHO THREATEN ATHLETES FOR THEIR ON-THE-FIELD MISTAKES NEED TO…WAIT FOR IT…BRO THE FUCK UP!!! Do you not have anything better to do? You see, it used to be that these idiots would just sit at home or on a bar stool, probably wishing they could be professional athletes and say these things. But thanks to these social media outputs they now have a large platform on which to say these things and reach large populations. They could even reach the person themselves!!! Lets say that you work in some office and you lose some paperwork. Sure, you messed up, but do you think that you should be subject to threats? I don’t think so. A critique is far different from a threat.

It seems that fans are taking his mistakes out of their context. It seems as though these so fundamentally flawed individuals have posited this event in to the context where an individual’s malicious intentions lead to another’s death. This context is, however, false. The correct context would be one in which there is a sporting event, a fairly important event that will determine the advancement of one team over another. And even with the proper intentionality, one member commits an unfortunate error. By reading this, one could see that this should hardly warrant any kind of threats. In its context it’s nothing more than an error that deserves criticism. Taken in the correct context it should cause the correct reaction.

Did Kyle Williams commit an error? Yes. Did these errors warrant the threats he’s been receiving? HELL NO!!! He made some mistakes, but none that should justify this stupidity. I’m sure I’m not saying anything that he, anyone in the organization or anyone who thinks rationally doesn’t know. This article ought to be read by fans. Stupid, flawed, ignorant fans.

Kyle Williams, the Los Tebros have your back.

And to all those ignorant fans…BRO THE FUCK UP!!!

New Jersey Nets

SHELDEN WILLIAMS.....You are stuck in the ugly sister state of New York, New Jersey, waiting for the opportunity that left you once you were traded away from the center-depleted New York Knicks to Denver. The only thing you do have going for you in this horrible season where you average 3.2 ppg, 3.0 rebounds/game, and shooting a measly 27.3% from the field, is that you have Candace Parker locked down. Hopefully she did not make you sign a pre-nup!

On to bigger news, you managed to do something right for once! You dunked the ball.... but with that came consequences. You smacked yourself right in the face with the ball! REALLY BRO?! You couldn't manage to keep one thing flawless?

Some High School U.S. Army All Americans

Before we start, Los TeBros would really like to read your opinions on this topic in the comment section below because we know there are arguments for both sides. Thank you. Also, if anybody wants to request an article feel free to submit them on out Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Los-TeBros/211318915615723?sk=wall

Only a selected few each year are chosen to play and represent the name of being a U.S. Army All American. Some of the best NCAA and NFL players have played in this game and showcased their talents, so these players should feel proud, but humble at the same time. Every sport at any level, there are going to be egotistical players who think that they are above their peers, but Los TeBros were shocked to hear that quite a few of these All Americans were unhappy with something petty.

Adrian Peterson & Reggie Bush were just two of many great players to play in this Bowl Game.

       They weren't upset about about starting in the Bowl game or anything of that matter, but instead, they were upset about the numbers on the back of their jerseys. Los TeBros understands that not all of these players were upset and we know from our experiences as players that we do have favorite numbers, but why start all of this commotion about a number when you have a golden opportunity to showcase your talents. They can't wear a different number for ONE game? Really, Bro? This Bowl Game is very important, but I'm pretty sure scouts could care less what number the players wear as long as they play well.

       Some players like the #9 ranked CB in the nation, Kevon Seymour, were upset about the jersey number. He received #41 instead of the highly sought after #1. Seymour, who has yet to commit to any school, admitted that the availability of the #1 may dictate his decision. Really, Bro? I guess the power is all in the number. I guess Seymour cannot play effectively if he cannot wear #1.

       Mike Davis, the #6 ranked RB, was so upset about not receiving #28 he had to be given a new number. He doesn't even have a name on the back of his new #14 jersey. Really, Bro?

       These players may be very good players, but they need to change their attitudes. Los TeBros cannot understand their resistance to play ONE game in a jersey with a different number. From experience, I never cared looked at my own jersey nor my number. Why can't these players just play the game? Why make such a big deal.

Bowl Official John Schmid said the following:

   " What are we going to do? We've got 35 kids
     who want a single-digit number, and we've
     only got nine. "

Tracy Howard, the #1 CB in the nation, stated the following:

" That's ignorant. Why would Why would you think you could just

get any number you wanted? I don't think anyone is going to

outwork me, but at the same time, if guys have been in the

system and are doing the work, they get the number. You get a

number, work hard and then you'll get what you want. "

Well said, Mr. Howard. Los TeBros applaud your act of BROfessionalism.
As for Seymour, Davis & the rest of the players who made a big deal, you guys get a Really, Bro? Not only that, but also a BRO the F*ck Up!

What do you guys think about this? Should there be duplicate numbers for this Bowl Game? Or should these players suck it up and play the ONE game with an unfamiliar number? Leave us your thoughts in the comment section below.
Also, when these players reach college it's going to get worse. They better BRO up now.

Let's Broooo!!!!! #2

Zach Randolph's "Block"

Los TeBros witnessed a questionable call while watching the Oklahoma City Thunder-Memphis Grizzlies game. Half way through the third quarter, Thunder C Kendrick Perkins drove to the rack and was ~~fouled~~ "blocked" by Grizzlies PF Zach Randolph.

2011 Playoffs- Game One (Ronald Martinez/Getty Images North America)

Watch as Perkins takes it to the rack (What Up!) :

That's a block? Really, Bro?

Z-Bo is a Grizzly, but he didn't need to bear hug Perkins. Eventually the Thunder won this game 98-95.

Was that a block or a foul? Tell us what you think.

Update: After this entry was posted, Perkins (@kendrickperkins) tweeted:

Los TeBros is unaware of the comments Webber made about Perkins, but those are some strong words from a strong man.

Update: Los TeBros has found out that Webber said that Perkins cannot defend one on one. What do you guys think about this? Do you think Perkins can defend one on one? Let us know in the comment section below.

Kobe Bryant Doubters

Let's start off by saying, Los TeBros knows that this article will spark some controversy, so we'd love to hear your arguments for or against our evaluation in the comment section below.

This article will be a continuation to Vegi Wayne's What's Going on in Lob Angeles article. Los TeBros couldn't help, but notice negative article after negative article about Los Angeles Lakers star Kobe Bryant. Los TeBros would like to shed some light on Kobe's performance on the court while dealing with predicaments off the court.

Currently, the Los Angeles Lakers are 1-2 after picking up their first win of the season after defeating the Utah Jazz in a convincing 96-71 fashion. On Christmas Day, the Lakers lost the first game of the season after Kobe turned the ball over and Chicago Bulls PG Derrick Rose hit the game winning shot with 4.8 seconds left. The second loss, the day after, was horrific for Lakers fans. The 100-91 loss to the Sacramento Kings sent most Lakers fans into panic mode.

Kobe Bryant is upset about a call or lack thereof.

What's wrong with the Black Mamba? Mid-December, almost a week before the regular season started, Vanessa Bryant (Kobe's soon to be Ex-Wife) filed for divorce. What made matters worse was the fact that days before the season started, Bryant had a torn ligament in his wrist. Numerous fans and and analysts predicted that the Lakers star would struggle with these two factors working against him, but Kobe isn't letting the divorce and wrist injury stop him.

Ezra Shaw/Getty Images

The Lakers as a whole team does deserve a Really, Bro?, but the same thing cannot be said about #24. In the three games this season, he's averaging 27.7 PPG 6.7 REB 5.7 AST

Los TeBros understand that it is only THREE games, but many people are surprised that the injured 33-year old Bryant is still producing at an elite rate. ESPN and the TrueHoop Network ranked Bryant #7 player in the NBA. That's right, Kobe Bryant was ranked outside of the Top 5!

Really, Bro?

This is how the remaining Top 6 looks:

                                                              6. Oklahoma City Thunder SF Kevin Durant
                                                              5. Dallas Mavericks PF Dirk Nowitzki
                                                              4. Miami Heat SG Dwyane Wade
                                                              3. Los Angeles Clippers PG Chris Paul
                                                              2. Orlando Magics C Dwight Howard
                                                              1. Miami Heat SF LeBron James

No disrespect to any of these players, but Kobe Bryant is still a Top 5 player. There's no question about that. Read some of the reactions on Twitter. Los TeBros thought Kobe Bryant doubters learned not to ever doubt this man. Los TeBros are pulling for our Bro, BRObe Bryant to come back from this early deficit.

Kobe's still got game, Bro:

This TeBro would love to have the newly single Black Mamba as a Wingman.

Lob City....Lob Angeles.... Kobe Bryant

Tyga is quick to come out with a Clippers rap after one game into the season. His performance on this track flies high just like Blake Griffin and Deandre Jordan and might be the anthem of the winter. But with this Young Money production, we have to look back on an instant classic...

Yes TeBros, Kobe Bryant, the man who is already off to averaging 27.7 ppg in his first 3 games (note: these are back-to-back-to-back games) for a 33 year old man who has a bad knee and torn ligaments in his hand. This man is beasting and is willing his team to as close to victories as he can. Give Mike Brown credit for his defensive scheme on Al Jefferson tonight. Jefferson had no answer, going 2-16 from the field with a +/- of -22 in tonight's game.

Here's to you Kobe "Bean" Bryant

The Start of the NBA Season

The wait is almost over! Los TeBros have been waiting for this BROment since that late night decision to end the lockout was announced. After an entire offseason full of uncertainty, the 2011-2012 NBA season will begin tomorrow, Christmas Day, at 12:00 pm Eastern/9:00 am Pacific with a match-up between the Boston Celtics and the New York Knicks. Christmas Day will be filled with great basketball games: Miami Heat vs. Dallas Mavericks, Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers, Orlando Magics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder & Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors. Make sure to check some hilarious Season's Greetings from Sports Players/Teams.

Lakers Metta World Peace, formerly known as Ron Artest, is excited about the end to the lockout.


Mav's Owner Mark Cuban doesn't want to give up the Larry O'Brien Championship Trophy, no matter what.

Even though the Heat-Mavericks match up will be a rematch of the 2011 NBA Finals and the promising Los Angeles Clippers who have 2011 Rookie of the Year PF Blake Griffin and newly acquired four-time All Star PG Chris Paul will face another young talented team in the Warriors, Los TeBros will talk about the Lakers-Bulls match up.

This marquee match-up features two of the best players in the NBA- Bulls PG Derrick Rose & Lakers SG Kobe Bryant. Although these two stars are in different stages of their careers, they're both elite and top-tier guards.

[Honorable Mentions] #2 Los TeBros BROments of the Week

2011-12-19T23:50:00.001-08:00

The Kansas City Chiefs, the Indianapolis Colts & Plaxico Burress

Fellow TeBros, these two teams accomplished things have yet to be done this season. The Chiefs beat the unbeaten and the Colts won to prevent from having the all-beaten season. The Chiefs did so under the new intermittent head coach Romeo Crennel. He said to the Packers, "Really Bro, you thought you could beat me?"

In the defeat, the Packers lost two of their O-linemen to injury, so the Chiefs may have done more damage than just ruining the "perfect" season.

The Colts brought some Huskie Pride to the table, with Dan Orlovsky manning(hah) the offense with Donald Brown bursting out of the backfield. The Colts said bye-bye-bye to the imperfect season with a win against the Tennessee Titans

The final honorable mention from us Los TeBros goes out to Plaxico Burress. Plax made a sick one handed touchdown catch to make Mark Sanchez look like a semi-decent quarterback and make up for an otherwise miserable day for the Jets.

I tip my cap to you Plaxico Burress for showing Nnamdi Asomugha that Nnamdi can't be taking names and that there's only one island.....Revis Island.

Los TeBros BROment of the Week #2

2011-12-19T23:34:00.001-08:00

Detroit Lions Calvin Johnson

This week's Los TeBros BROment of the Week is as close to a bro a machine can be. This man has drive, determination and physicality of a man. His name is Calvin "Megatron" Johnson.

Megatron went hard with 214 yds and 2 TDs, including the game winning touchdown with 39 seconds left. Of the 98 yards on the final drive to score, Johnson accounted for 75 receiving yards and an additional 17 yards on a pass interference call. Johnson's 214 yards is third most in Lions history. More importantly, all of this came against the team who passed up Calvin Johnson for Jamarcus Russell.

Megatron is on a team poised to make the playoffs for the first time since 1999, but look like serious contenders for the next decade. The Raiders are wavering, still looking for consistency that they have lacked since their last Super Bowl appearance.

Who will be next week's Los TeBros Performer of the Week?

Pittsburgh Steelers

Late in Monday Night's game the Steelers were down 20-3 and already injured two-time Super Bowl winning QB Ben Roethlisberger was still under center as they started the drive at their own 14 yard-line. Roethlisberger, who suffered a high ankle sprain the previous game, had a hard time walking/moving and even standing up on one leg, had no reason to remain in the game. Yes, the Steelers blew a HUGE opportunity to claim the top spot in the AFC North and top seed in the AFC in overall, but since Ben was taking hits all game and the Steelers offense wasn't moving against a stingy 49ers defense, Roethlisberger should have been pulled.

Steelers QB Ben Roethlisberger suffers a high ankle sprain in a 14-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

For whatever reason, Roethlisberger kept taking snaps under center and getting knocked to the ground, including two Aldon Smith sacks. Steelers 6'8 345 lbs. LT Max Starks, who has been praised for rejuvenating the team since re-signing October 5th, was no match for the 6'4 258 lbs. rookie OLB out of Missouri. The number seven overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft bull rushed continuously and gave Roethlisberger zero time in the pocket. Even on plays that didn't result in sacks, Steelers fans continued to see their QB get up in pain after taking hits from Smith. Smith finished the night with 2.5 sacks and a forced fumble deep in Steelers territory that ultimately put the game out of reach. Smith even had a sack wiped away after one of his teammates was penalized for holding. Even though a sack wasn't added to the stat sheet and the Steelers got a new set of downs, Roethlisberger was still knocked to the ground and felt the pain.

With an injured QB, the Steelers offensive line needed to step up, but they failed to do so and that results in a Really, Bro? Yes, the Steelers were without Pro Bowl second year Center Maurkice Pouncey, but this performance was still inexcusable. It was obvious that the line could not give the hobbling Roethlisberger any time in the pocket, so why was he still in the game? Los TeBros have no idea. Only thing that can be said/asked is

Really, Bro?

Your starting QB, who is injured, should not remain in the game when the game is out of reach and continue to take these kind of hits (see above). Whether it was Head Coach Mike Tomlin's decision, Offensive Coordinator Bruce Arians or even Roethlisberger himself; whoever it was, they deserve a Really, Bro? While the defense remains as one of the top tier defenses in the league, the usually run heavy Steelers offense has advanced into a pass first team. The offense revolves around #7 and they cannot risk to further injure his ankle.

If it was Roethlisberger's decision himself, he needs to realize that once this must-win game was out of reach, he needs to sit back and rest his ankle, especially with a short week coming up (Saturday game-Christmas Sunday). Los TeBros understand that Roethlisberger wanted to win this game to grab hold of the number one seed in the AFC. In doing so, he took some unnecessary hits and the Steelers still dropped to the number 5 seed after their loss to the 49ers.

While the Steelers offensive line looked terrible, Los TeBros must give credit to the 49ers. They simply outplayed the Steelers after Roethlisberger thew that interception in the endzone on the first drive of the game.

Like Los TeBros mentioned before, Roethlisberger is the centerpiece to this offense and they need him to be healthy enough to play efficiently.

If the Steelers want to have any chance at winning Super Bowl number seven, they will need to keep #7's jersey clean and do whatever they have to do to not appear on a Really, Bro? again.

What do you guys think about the decision to leave Roethlisberger in the game? Let us know in the comment section below.

San Diego Chargers QB Phllip Rivers

I'll start by saying "No," this is not about his performance for my fantasy football team. I'm pretty happy about the big night he had tonight (even though he was on my bench), but that's not the point. Also, this "Really, Bro?" isn't going to be like the previous ones. Instead, this one was a complete surprise to Los TeBros.

Actually, on second thought, maybe it is relevant to a certain extent. It's pretty obvious that Phillip Rivers has not performed the way he usually has in previous seasons. His 4,015 passing yards and 23 touchdowns are still impressive, but when I've watched him earlier in the season it looked like there was something physiologically wrong with him. He's turned the ball over more through 14 games than he has in any of his previous seven seasons with a total of 22 turnovers (17 interceptions, 5 fumbles lost).

What's wrong with him? Terrible offensive line? Injuries to his top targets? Defense placing too much pressure on his shoulders?

While you can make an argument for each of these reasons, there is another thing Los TeBros found out. But before we talk about it, allow me to ask this question: How many kids does Philip rivers have? ~~Zero~~ ~~One~~ ~~Two~~ ~~Three~~ Answer: SIX

That's right, six! Philip Rivers has six kids. Really, Bro? Like I wrote before, Los TeBros are not questioning an act of a "non-Bro-like" moment. We are just asking what all of you are thinking. Los TeBros have nothing against having a lot of children, we are just surprised that Philip Rivers has this many kids. Maybe he was trying compete with former teammate, now Jets CB Antonio Cromartie:

Really Bro? Rivers has some catching up to do on the field (and in the bedroom)

All jokes aside, fathering six kids must be a hassle and exhausting. He's playing very well right, like he always does this time of the year (career 23-2 record in December). He's adjusted perfectly. While his wife was pregnant and he threw 6 touchdowns/7 interceptions through his first 5 games. It's reasonable for him to be worrying about her and wanting to be by her side. Maybe that had something to do with his performance.

Los TeBros along with many others thought Rivers would pick it up after the birth of his daughter (Los TeBros didn't know it was his sixth at the time). The opposite happened. He threw for a lot of yards the next five games, but he threw 10 interceptions compared to just 9 touchdowns. To make things worse, the Chargers were 0-5 through that span.

Rivers has looked much better the last three weeks and needs a strong finish and a Broncos collapse to have a shot at playoffs. Chargers must win out, so Rivers better watch out for Ndamukong Suh and the Detroit Lions.

US Presswire

Los TeBros would like to congratulate Rivers and his wife for the birth of their sixth child.

Do you guys think the birth of his child or fathering six kids had something to do with his early to mid-season struggles? Let us know in the comment section below.

Los Angeles Lakers Head Coach Mike Brown

Los TeBros heard an interesting story today, Lakers Head Coach Mike Brown thinks that bringing Metta World Peace (formerly known as Ron Artest) off of thebench would "bolster" their bench. Adding World Peace to the Lakers bench would definitely strengthen a bench that is lacking depth due to the departure of 2011 Sixth Man of the Year Lamar Odom. Los TeBros has no problem that World Peace will come off the bench, but Los TeBros has a problem with a possible replacement. Brown had this to say

" I might start Matt (Barnes).

I might start Luke (Walton)... "

Really, Bro? I had to take a break before I continued.


Jeff Lewis/AP Photo

Many Lakers fans would like to see Walton remain where

he is in the photo above, on another team's bench.

Brown also mentioned later that second year player Devin Ebanks is competing with Barnes and Walton. Mike Brown, why is Walton even in consideration? Really, BRO? Los TeBros has nothing against Walton personally, but we've watched him play for years now. The fact that he's still a Laker deserves a Really, Bro? A starter in the NBA needs to BROduce while they're on the court and Walton has not. Kobe needs another scorer and quick PG playing besides him and Walton does not fit the criteria. See for yourself.

Los TeBros has said it over and over. Why did the Lakers pass on Josh Selby TWICE?!?! Really, Bro?

Back to Walton, how does Kobe and the rest of the Lakers feel about the idea of Luke Walton starting?

Even Walton is laughing at the idea. Newly acquired Gerald Green and Josh McRoberts would be better options than Walton. Mike Brown

Chicago Bears WR Sam Hurd

Sam Hurd was arrested in Chicago today for attempting to purchase five to 10 kilograms of cocaine and 1,000 pounds of marijuana per week to sell in the Chicago area. REALLY BRO?

       Including your prorated signing bonus for 2011, other bonuses and base salary, you are scheduled to make $1,528,333 in 2011 and you are looking to delve into the illegal drug world? With all that money, you couldn't even hire an assistant to do your dirty work? Not smart bro

     Roger Goodell and other NFL executives are going to have to consider who his target market was with these planned drugged purchases . Was he planning on selling it to his fellow co-workers in the NFL? Or supplying large drug cartels in the Greater Chicago Area? Even if his intentions were to just sell to a few dealers, I think this should be punishable to the fullest extent league officials can. Drug trade supplies gangs with leverage and allows them to remain sustainable. There are often violent exchanges between drug suppliers and drug purchasers, because the exchanges are not protected by the law. We don't want to endanger our fellow bros do we?

       Way to throw away you NFL career, Sam. Your talent level never separated you from the rest of the pool, like Vick or Burress, so I don't expect to see you back in the NFL after the federal court processes this case. At least you get to stay in your home state of Texas, bro.

Indonesia's Ban on the "Punk" Look

WARNING: Viewer's Discretion is Advised

When the most worrisome demographic of any region is that of a sub-punk culture, you know there are going to be bro-codes broken. Now, when a person’s hair is thrown into the debate, hahaha we are really going to have a problem. Apparently some Indonesians are annoyed with the punk culture enough to conduct a raid on a punk show sweeping kids away for some moral cleansing! Yea!!! Let the spiritual healing begin! Wait, last time I checked, I don’t think that there is anything that necessarily connects one’s musical preference to their moral standing. In fact, one would say that to be taken into bondage by a preference may hold some correlation to one’s naivety or feeblemindedness. Kids committing crimes on the grounds of their connection and bondage to a work of art would be a sign of their naivety. And at this show, no one was arrested or charged any criminal counts for breaking a law. Hey, you know what also is a sign of feeblemindedness? Taking fucking kids away, cutting their hair, and trying to “educate” them on morals- all on the grounds that punk culture is immoral. Those aren’t fucking determinable grounds at all! Well fuck you bro, you can’t do that!!! This was a completely unbro-like moment for Indonesia.

The only problem here is that, well yea, technically they can do this sort of thing. They just risk looking like huge assholes in the process- a caveat that they apparently don’t mind. Aceh, Indonesia, unfortunately is a beneficiary of some autonomy from the central government of Indonesia. Though Indonesia is a Muslim nation, it is much more moderate than other Muslim cultures. Many other regions in Indonesia don’t force women to wear headscarves nor have strict laws on what one could do in public or how they conduct their personal life. Aceh, however, does have these strict laws. Or so they want to think. I believe they somewhat enforce “laws”- certainly unbro-like laws, such as no alcoholic beverages, no kissing in public (whaaaaaaaa), no homosexuality, all what they see as immoral actions. Huh? Alright guys, let’s all do what’s contrary to our nature and stop kissing and getting drunk! NOT! This is an abomination. Man, and I talk about this fascist pig nation America as if it’s the worst (debatable). No kissing in public, what are the negative implications with that? Really bro? Give me a break!

Ok, enough history, lets get back to these punks. Officials stated that no one was being held on any criminal charges. Hummmm, this sounds fishy to me. No criminal charges= no justification to kidnap any of these individuals. Because that is what it was, a kidnapping. Hell, if they were committing crimes take them away and by all means and lock them up! But none of this moral cleansing bullshit. Are you kidding me? They didn’t do shit! Someone having long hair or obtrusive clothing is that aggravating to you? If it is I would suggest getting a fucking life and living it. Stop trying to control others! ''We're not violating human rights. We're just trying to put them back on the right moral path.'' Really, you don’t think that cutting someone’s hair violates an individuals right to their own person? I think you should be the one subjected to going back to school for a re-education and learn what the word ‘violation’ means. If an individual walks down the street with a gun shooting people in the face, then I would say that it is a danger and this crazy person needs to be put away. If an individual walks down the street with tall spiked hair, combat boots, and loud clothes, I would say that that person must be into that sort of fashion. And if an individual walks into a punk show to collect immoral beings on account of their style of dress, and musical choice, and how they find it immoral, then I would say that that person needs to BRO THE FUCK UP and find life outside of their ignorance. The world is bigger than you, bro! You are too encapsulated by your ignorance. Just, bro the fuck up, please.

Society always finds a way to create a group of outcasts and it may be inherently so that we do this. That is, it may just be our innate nature as Humans to always create groups and attempt to rigidly categorize individuals by them without noticing this false dichotomy it creates. Hence, why people are racist. This ignorance, unfortunately rampant and rapacious through a society’s norms only works to destroy individuals who can no further implicate upon another being positively or negatively. It’s the destruction of the individual and the production and reproduction of originality. It works contrary to our nature, and it rationally and logically follows that what so ever works contrary to our nature as humans, shall normatively be deemed negative. Society lives so closely to its norms, as if it were this almighty power that immutably restricts us. The best part of this is that society forgets that they are also responsible for the production of these norms. Hell, it’s like Wikipedia- we can all edit it!!! Woohooo!!!This isn’t however, a justification, just an explanation. And the quicker we learn to delineate between the two, the quicker we can fix societal issues and recognize problems. I shall now delve into an interpretation of Islamic thought and establish a…haha naww. I won’t do that. This is the (aki)Bert man, and I leave you with this: REALLY BRO?

Los Angeles Lakers

This Really Bro goes out to the front office of the Los Angeles Lakers. You just traded away the Reigning 6th man of the year

LAMAR "CANDY MAN" ODOM
-2 time NBA Champion
-6th Man of the Year
-U.S.A. 2010 FIBA Champion

And what did you get in return? ....What'd you say? A 2012 1st round pick and a trade exemption?

Ok Lakers, you really positioned yourself in a great position for Chris Paul and Dwight Howard.......

Really, Bro?!?!?!

Lamar Odom agrees!!!!

You think a non-lottery pick (barring any surprises this season from the Mavs) is what the league wanted for Chris Paul or the Magic wanted for Dwight?

The acting owner/GM/Rule Maker of the Hornets David Stern and David Stern's pawn Dell Demps (so-called GM) and Magic GM Otis Smith said REALLY BRO?????

Today, Chris Paul was traded to the Clippers and the Magic announced that they will continue on without trading Dwight for the time being.

There are reports that Lamar Odom requested a trade after hearing his name in rumors. REALLY BRO??? After the Lakers gave you these great opportunities the past 7 years. Your family and TV show are both located in LA. Take it in stride and if you were as loyal to this team, you wouldn't take offense to working out a trade that would have sent you out for the best PG since Magic Johnson.

Now the Clippers are top 4 contenders in the West and the Lakers are left trying to figure out what to do with an $8.9 million trade exemption, and a void to fill after losing the 6th man of the year and a versatile player.

The Los TeBros are really confused on all ends on how this transpired.

Comment on how you think the Lakers will do this season. Or where Dwight will end up at the end of 2011-12.

CBS [December 12, 2011]

You feel that deep, cold feeling in your heart? That's the emptiness of not watching a new episode of How I Met Your Mother last night. Los TeBros, like millions of others, set a special BROment aside to watch HIMYM at 8:00 pm every Monday evening. As to our surprise, HIMYM's Facebook page posted,

" HIMYM will be pre-empted tonight... "

You're not the only one Barney

followed by some words a TeBro could not make out due to the fact his mind was blown. For whatever reason, CBS

" Really, Bro? "

Los TeBros started off as Lily

Then Los TeBros turned into Scooter

That was from Los TeBros for all you other Bros out there. Los TeBros just wanted a little HIMYM while studying for Finals. Let's all hope that there is a new How I Met Your Mother next Monday! A TeBro may have to watch it on the DVR because there is an important MNF Game!

I know Los TeBros were the not the only one's who wanted to watch a new episode. I'm sure HIMYM had a great reason to not show a new episode. How did you guys feel about this? Feel free to leave comments. Also, who will be Ted's wife? Leave your opinions and reasoning.

The Denver Broncos

Doug Pensinger/Getty Images

After being shut out for the first three quarters and most of the fourth, Broncos QB Tim "The Mile-High Messiah" Tebow threw a 10 yard TD to WR Demaryius Thomas with 2:08 left in the 4th quarter. After the Broncos messed up a perfect opportunity to recover an onside kick (two Broncos bumped into each other), on a second down, Bears RB Marion Barber ran for a nice short gain, he ran out of bounds. Thus, stopping the clock with 1:55 left in the 4th.

The Broncos would eventually get the ball back via Adam Podlesh punt and then Tebow did his thing. Completing pass after pass to set up Matt Prater's 59 yard game-tying field goal.

Watch in 1080p:

In OT, the Bears won the toss and started with the ball. The Bears had a nice drive and were in a good situation to win the game. A couple plays after Barber made a diving catch to put the Bears in FG range, Barber took the handoff and found a hole and looked as if he was going to reach paydirt. Barber was then stripped of the ball and the Broncos recovered.

Tebow threw multiple passes to Thomas and the Broncos were in FG range. Prater, like before, made a 50+ yard FG, but this time it was from 51 yards & this one won the game.

Watch in 1080p:

* YouTube Removed this Video. Really, Bro?

As a reporter talked to Tebow after the game, he thanked his lord and savior Jesus Christ and thanked God. He then later gave props to his teammates and did not take any credit for this W. Tim Tebow had this to say,

"Those guys make me look
better then I really am."

After a 4th Quarter & OT where he made clutch completion after completion, he is still humble.

London Fletcher's Hit on Tom Brady w/ other Questionable Calls: Really, Bro?

I'm sure you guys know that quarterbacks like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers & Peyton Manning are all BROtected by the new NFL rules for protecting the quarterback, but there was an incident that occurred late in the second half of the New England Patriots & Washington Redskins game, while the 'Skins were leading 20-17.

From Washington's 23 yard line on 2nd & 4, Tom scrambled and was lit up by Redskins MLB London Fletcher. The problem is that Brady slide and once a QB slides, a defender cannot hit them. This time, Brady slid too late and Fletcher decked him.

Toni L. Sandys/ The Washington Post

It was a nice BROfessional hit, yet a penalty flag was thrown & Fletcher was called for an "Unnecessary Roughness" penalty. REALLY, BRO? What makes matters worse, was the fact that the referees came to the conclusion that Fletcher's forearm hit Brady's Helmet. Really, Bro? See for yourself.

Brian Murphy

Patrick McDermott/Getty Images

Does anybody see a forearm to the helmet?

Watch the play:

How was Fletcher supposed to know that Brady was going to slide and/or when he would slide? Was penalizing Fletcher the right thing to do? I'll allow Charles Barkley to decide:

To the referee who called that a penalty Really, Bro?

Los TeBros aren't finished with these referees. There a couple questionable calls near the end of this game. The first one, occurred at New England's 5 yard line with the Redskins down 34-27. 'Skins QB Rex Grossman threw, what he thought was the game-tying TD to WR Santana Moss in the front right corner of the endzone with 1:10 left in the game. The referee closest to the TD called an offensive passing interference "penalty" on Moss. I wanted to see a replay of the "penalty," but FOX never showed a replay. Which makes Los TeBros question the call. Here is the video of the play:

A couple plays later on 3rd down, Grossman went back to his play maker and the ball went through Moss' hands & slipped into Patriots MLB Jerod Mayo. It was a nice play by Mayo as he dove and "caught" the ball. But did Mayo really catch the ball? From numerous replays, it was difficult for the referees to find conclusive evidence. After an official booth review, the call was confirmed. Mayo gets the interception and the Patriots win. Here's the questionable interception:

All of the camera angles were "turrible." Los TeBros question the decision by Grossman to throw the ball short of the goaline as the Patriots only rushed three. Grossman still had a lot of time to wait for a receiver to get open. Instead, he threw it to a WR who was covered. Really, Bro?

Dan Gilbert Persuades Stern to Shut Down CP3-Lakers Trade?

The Los Angeles Lakers, the Houston Rockets & the (League owned) New Orleans Hornets all agreed on a deal Thursday afternoon that would send PG Chris Paul to the Lakers; SF/PF Lamar Odom, PF Luis Scola, SG Kevin Martin & C Goran Dragic to the Hornets; and the Rockets would receive PF Pau Gasol.

This trade was almost complete and the players were ready to switch teams. And then hours later, everyone found out that NBA Commissioner David Stern had prevented the deal from going through. David Stern; Really, Bro?

Chris Paul tweeted "WoW," after learning about the trade veto.

Cleveland Cavaliers' owner Dan Gilbert played a significant role in the Dikembe MutumBro-like move by the NBA. Gilbert sent a letter to Stern asking for the "29 owners" to vote on the deal. Gilbert wrote:

" It would be a travesty to allow the Lakers to acquire Chris Paul in the apparent trade being discussed...the vast majority of owners feel the same way that I do. "

As a fellow TeBro puts it, "STFU Dan Gilbert." "Really, Bro?" will not be asked to Dan Gilbert. Well, because...he's just not a BRO. Yes, the Los TeBros just stated that Dan Gilbert is NOT a BRO.

What if this came out before the NL MVP was awarded to Braun, would Matt Kemp have won? Matt Kemp's probably thinking Really, Bro?

There is still a chance that this is just a false accusation. Reggie Miller tweeted the following:

"Just spoke with my neighbor Ryan Braun, he says test is bogus, can only believe a man for his word.. Truth will always come out.."

Ultimately, we have to wonder why did the reports come out now? If people knew about it before, why wasn't this announced earlier? Why is everyone jumping to conclusion if Braun's second test came back negative?

Cincinnatti-Xavier Brawl: Really, Bros?

Let us start by stating that Los TeBros are not a fan of neither team, our opinion of this disgusting brawl is not biased at all.

We understand that there is a heated rivalry between the Cincinnati Bearcats and the Xavier Musketeers, but this incident is both disturbing and unacceptable for this college basketball rivalry game and/or any type of sporting event.

The Musketeers were in control of this rivalry match early and comfortably on their way to a perfect 8-0 record. That is until, there was 9.4 seconds left in the second half. Which abruptly ended the game with Xavier winning 76-53.

Earlier in the week, Cincinnati's Sean Kilpatrick was asked, while appearing on WQRT-AM Cincinnati, if he was a better player than Xavier's All-American guard Tu Holloway. The intention of Andy Furman, the person asking the question, definitely got the answer he was looking for. Kilpatrick said "I'll let the fans decide." Furman then asked for Kilpatrick's own opinion and then responded with, "Yes I am." Kilpatrick should have sniffed out the trap set by Furman, but continued to participate in these obvious trap questions. Furman asked if Holloway would start for the Bearcats, Kilpatrick responded,

" Would he, with the players we have now? "

" I would say no. "

Did Kilpatrick really give Tu Holloway and the rest of the Xavier Musketeers bulletin board material?

From all of us TeBros, we just have to say, "Really, Bro?"

You'd think Xavier remaining undefeated by defeating their historic cross town rivals by a large margin would be the big story here, but that's not the whole story. There was an event earlier in the game that foreshadowed that a brawl would occur in this game.

At the end of the first half, as Holloway & Cincinnati's #14 Ge'Lawn Guyn stood face to face like boxers at a weigh in and exchanged heated words. Which would would ultimately lead to the brawl at the end of the game.

Watch this disturbing incident unfold:

Tu Holloway scored 17 points on 5-10 shooting from the field including 6-6 from the free throw line. Sean Kilpatrick finished the game with 11 points on 3-12 shooting from the field as Xavier fans chanted "Who's Kilpatrick?" every time he touched the ball. Really bro? I'm pretty sure Holloway could easily start for Cincy, but I'm not sure he'd ever want to after this.

There were numerous pushes, punches, maybe some scratches (BROcat reference), but the most disturbing act of this physical altercation was a stomp to the face of Xavier's 7'0 Center #32 Kenny Frease.

As Frease attempted to break up the fight, he was sucker punched by Cincinnati's #34 Yancy Gates. That uncalled-for punch knocked Frease to the floor and then had his face stomped on by another Cincinatti player #13 Cheik Mbodj. After the brawl was ceased, Frease walked off the court with his arms up in the air as Xavier cheered on.

Frank Victores/US Presswire

The brawl actually started when Guyn put his right hand near Holloway's face and Holloway reacted by pushing Guyn onto the ground with the assistance of teammate #5 Dezmine Wells. As I watched some of the post game press conference, I heard what Lyons had to say. I will paraphrase this for you. He said something like; from where he is from, this is how you react if somebody puts their hand in your face. Really, Bro? Your team is currently ranked #8 in the nation, your team is up big. Why would a player decide to push somebody with less than 10 seconds left in the game? Really, Bro? Holloway may receive a suspension, which will hurt his team. Again Really, Bro?

If the NCAA doesn't handle this situation with appropriate punishments, they will get a HUGE

Really, Bro?!?!

University of Cincinnati's basketball Head Coach Mike Cronin was upset that a time out wasn't called when he asked for one before the brawl broke out.

" I was trying to call time out. I saw players talking to our bench. I had repeatedly asked the officials to stop it. "

" I saw it coming and tried to call a timeout. With all due respect to the three, that's where I'm most upset. "

        Some of the players he had to take the jerseys off himself. He then later, hinted that none of the players would be able to play for the University until they showed better sportsmanship.

                 " I will meet with my AD and my president, and I will decide
               who's on the team going forward. I've never been this
               embarrassed. We represent an institution of higher
               learning. It's way more important than basketball games.
               And whoever puts their jersey back on — I made take
               their jersey off, and they will not put it on again until
               they have a full understanding of where they go to school,
               and what the university stands for, and how lucky they are
               to even be there, let alone have a scholarship, 'cause
               there's a whole lot of kids that can't pay for college. "

        Clearly, Cronin was mad and ashamed of his team and hopes that this incident doesn't make him lose his job. Cronin handled this situation like a real BROfessional.

Los TeBros, Applaud Cronin's
