The Beauty Of Media Day
I couldn't get over the fact that fans could purchase tickets to Super Bowl media day for $25. I mean, who would sit in the stands and watch players get interviewed? That sounds like a miserable fucking time, but then the Mexican smoke show reporter showed up Tuesday. These pics have been on the Boston Bar Stool website, and all over [...]
What’s In A Press Conference?
I wasn't able to watch the Phil Emery introductory press conference on TV Monday, but I did have the misfortune of listening to it on the radio and follow it on Twitter. What pissed me off more than anything was how media members in this town were crushing Emery for not coming off like some outgoing movie star. This is the sadly where we are. [...]
Tyson In The WWE H.O.F.
Before The Undertaker made his annual pre-WrestleMania return to Raw Monday night, another inductee was announced for the WWE Hall of Fame. The baddest man on the planet "Iron" Mike Tyson will take his place alongside Pete Rose and Bob Uecker as non wrestlers to be inducted into the WWE's annual pre-'Mania event. The WWE likes to have the [...]
Ferris Bueller’s Back
Bueller? Bueller? Bueller? I have to admit, I'm absolutely down with finding out about the Super Bowl commercials ahead of the spectacle that awaits on Sunday. Why? Because when we are subjected to all 837 commercial breaks during the Patriots coronation, it will leave a guy like me plenty of time to get food & drink more beer. Oh, and [...]
D-12 Overshadows Heat Loss
Sunday's Bulls-Heat game was" thee "sports story of the day. With apologies to those who love bad fake football (the Pro Bowl), the rematch of the 2011 eastern conference finals was on a national stage for all to see, and it played out like a bad sequel to a movie that you never wanted to re-watch in the first place. It was the same [...]
Super Kaner
This is why Patrick Kane was voted to the all-star game. He is a skating highlight reel, and fans love to see Chicago's 88 do his thing. Kaner won the NHL's breakaway challenge by doing a Clark Kent/Superman routine. What I loved about it, was that it was Kaner having fun and entertaining the fans... "Our PR guy, Brandon Faber, I [...]
WWE Royal Rumble Preview
If you're anything like me, you despise how Vince McMahon and the WWE have watered down and murdered the anticipation of pay-per-view events. It would be a miserable proposition to try and create storylines for a pay-per-view each month, but that's Vince's way of reaffirming to his "WWE universe" that it is really is "all about the [...]
A Season Defining Trip
The Bulls annual circus trip was always the unofficial end of any hope during the early 2000's. It was easy to have blind faith in those young Bulls teams like the '02-'03 squad with Jamal Crawford, Jay Williams, Eddy Curry & Tyson Chandler. You wanted to believe that they could compete against NBA competition in hostile environments, but [...]
Breaking Down The K Love Deal
Leave it to Timberwolves GM David Kahn and penny pinching owner Glen Taylor to somehow not fully commit to their franchise player. I get it, a 4 year $62 million extension for Kevin Love is a hell of a lot of money, but Minnesota isn't exactly a destination city for NBA stars. And if your star player wants the full 5 year max extension, why [...]
Unprotected
It’s obvious that Jay Cutler was unprotected on the field, but now we see he’s unprotected off the field too. It looks like Jay is going to be a baby daddy, and he is extremely excited about it. Now that his engagement is back on with Kristin Cavallari; she needed to lock it down this time by doing the good ‘ol baby trick. Jay is the one [...]
