Mocking The Undrafted

Tue, 03 Jul 2007 01:00:02 -0500

A funny look at the NBA draft.

We're less than 5734 minutes away from the NBA draft and we're counting the seconds! While most fans of the draft will eagerly quaff their Natty Ice in anticipation of their hometown team's pick, we'll be watching for a different reason. Invariably, every draft has at least one guy who expects to go in the lottery slipping way down the list, in some cases into the second round or out of the draft all together.

Fatherly Advice

What did Stephon Marbury say to Randy Moss?

Steph caught up with Randy Moss 3 days before Moss was moved to New England. Think that had anything to do with Randy saying Tom Brady is the quarterback he most wanted to play with? Naaahh..

The Off Season Is Here!

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 02:37:49 -0500

Maybe this year's off-season will beat this year's NBA season?

Ok… I know the NBA finals are going to be exciting now. I get that. Lebron “Luke-the-force-is-with-you” James vs the San Antonio “Deathstar” Spurs (who really thinks the good guys are going to win this time?) - great viewing.

RAW!

Wed, 13 Jun 2007 02:34:34 -0500

A look at the latest WWE RAW.

WWE RAW Kicked off the week of TV from Hampton, VA on Monday night, and the focus that the show has had for quite sometime simply didn't seem to be there, making this one of the weaker shows that we've seen for awhile.

WHIP

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 22:09:58 -0500

Why is WHIP is the best baseball statistic?

WHIP is, in my opinion, the best barometer of how well a pitcher is actually pitching. Wins can mask errors and ERA takes more into account than merely the successes and failures of a pitcher. If you see a pitcher with a 4.50 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP, you can almost be assured that his ERA will soon plummet. Let me explain why...

Winter Baseball

Mon, 04 Jun 2007 21:54:27 -0500

Television may turn baseball into a winter sport.

That is what brings us to Major League Baseball, which on Monday announced that a scheduling change could have the World Series stretching out all the way to November 1st. Mind you that the "Fall Classic," a tradition that has passed down through the years, now should be renamed the "Series Chill," as games that late in the season are almost for sure going to be played in cold temps if you are anywhere east of say St.Louis.

Retiring Moments

Wed, 23 May 2007 12:10:02 -0500

The end of Brett Favre's great career.

So now Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre says his emotions got the best of him and he never really wanted to be traded from the Packers anyways, and it was just his competitive nature coming out. All this was brought about by the New England Patriots acquisition of Oakland Raiders wide receiver and NFL “problem child” Randy Moss on draft day. Favre said the deal was a steal and the fact that the Packers did not go after him, showed they weren’t really serious about contending while he is still at the reins on the field.

The Talk Of New York

NFL and other sports are topping NHL ratings.

Today I want to talk NHL. Hockey has become a “fringe” sport. Don’t fight me on this hockey fans, but you are a distant fifth behind NFL, MLB, NBA and NASCAR. Oh and watch out for the ever increasing in popularity “Westminster Dog Show” which is right on your tail (pun intended).

Cuban Crisis

Tue, 08 May 2007 00:06:52 -0500

What is it about Mark Cuban?

I have struggled for a long time with this question: Is Mark Cuban a genius businessman, in the vein of so many self-made billionaires, or is he the luckiest damned geek who ever lived? Is he just the computer nerd his hairstyle and twisted logic suggest? Is he crazy? Is he crazy like a fox?

Reverse Racism?

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 17:44:33 -0500

Some thoughts on the Cricket controversy surrounding Darrell Hair.

Besides subversion of justice, this is also a classic case of reverse-racism. A highly-placed ICC source told AFP that India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, together with South Africa, Zimbabwe and West Indies voted for Hair's dismissal at the executive board meeting of the ICC in Mumbai on Friday. ( source: www.cricinfo.com ) Can it get more apparent - that this is a clear case of black vs white.

Where Does Dallas Go From Here?

Sat, 13 Jan 2007 13:59:06 -0500

A look at the future of the Dallas Cowboys.

The Dallas Cowboys had the best season in a long time. Well, that’s not really true. They were 9 - 7 last year and they were 10 - 6 three years ago. So what do we have over the last 4 years?

Punishment

Tue, 19 Dec 2006 19:10:40 -0500

Should Isiah Thomas take more responsibility for the big brawl?

By this afternoon, most everyone knows the punishments that have been handed out by NBA Commissioner David Stern. Fifteen games for NBA star, Carmelo Anthony. Ten each for J.R. Smith and Nate Robinson. A handful for also rans including Nene, Jared Jeffries, Jerome James, and the hitman himself, Mardy Collins. The organizations each took a half-mil shot to the pocketbooks as well.
