In all the best of the year lists going on during the New Years Holiday I found an article that related to recent TPMs that you all should check out. Gotta Love Yahoo News.

Famous Feuds

After my last TPM, my thought was provoked to think of some of the most famous feuds of all time. When I think of the largest feuds of all time the Shaquille O'Neal vs. Kobe Bryant feud of the early 2000s comes to mind. I am a big NBA fan and love the T'Wolves (K-Love for MVP) and this feud was one of the largest in the league's history The feud was kept on the hush for a while while the Lakers were winning their three-peat. But soon it rose up and O'Neal was traded to the Miami Heat. JUST IN, A NEW TPM, I AM GAYYYY!!!!!

TPM #2 (Feuds)

Sorry it's been so long between posts, Mid-Quarter exams are rough. But they did provide me with a new TPM idea. A student of mine recently came up to me after a mid term exam and expressed that there was a feud going on about my class. I was confused and asked him who was involved in the feud. He told me that it was a feud in his head about whether or not he should stay in my class. At first I laughed (feuds have to be between two or more people right?) but then I realized I may be being naive and that the word feud may have a broader definition than I previously thought. Whatever the definition of feud, this incident inspired me to think about the great feuds of all time which will be the topic of my upcoming posts.
