Combine Dork’s Got Your Back
If you need another example of how much I love the NFL, know that I spent a good portion of my birthday weekend plopped in front of my TV watching the underwear Olympics. If you want to get technical, it could easily be called the Under Armor fashion show. It's not a pretty sight, especially when the offensive and defensive lineman squeezed [...]
As Good As Reality
Professional wrestling fans (sorry Vince, but I refuse to call us the "WWE Universe") are always hopeful that heat between two superstars in the lead in for a big match is legitimate. We're hopeful that the on screen beef between the two combatants is as real off screen when the cameras stop rolling. That isn't usually the case, but every [...]
Appreciate Rose For Not Dancing Like An Ass
I often ask myself why I deal with the criminally insane douche lords that roam the Twitterverse. I usually brush the stupidity off of my shoulders and carry on, but Sunday night it was virtually impossible not to have a reaction to the D Rose hate. Don't ask why, but by not dancing and acting like a complete penis, Rose was murdered on [...]
Oscars NBA Style
Wouldn't you know it, the 84th Academy Awards and the NBA All-Star game fall on the same night. The Oscars officially kick-off about an hour after the alley-oop fest starts up in Orlando on Sunday night. And since I 'd rather sit through an all ladies Oscars party than hand out the standard NBA mid season awards, I decided to come up with few [...]
The Slam Dead Contest
Before you even ask... Yes, the slam dunk contest is sure to disappoint on Saturday night. It isn't that Paul George (raw but extremely talented), Derrick Williams, Chase Budinger & Jeremy Evans aren't capable of putting on a quality show, it's just the dunk contest is dead. They all can elevate and finish with ease above the rim. The [...]
Live Out Of The Moment
Phil Jackson used to tell those old Bulls championship teams that each season was similar to a 1,000 mile journey. He wanted them to appreciate the moment and not look too far ahead of the task immediately at hand. When the team was going for a 3-Peat in the '93 season, he stated on ring night that thinking about a championship at that early [...]
The Idiotic Hockey Mentality
Riding the tidal wave of emotion with a team is always a stressful proposition. The more invested you are with your team, the more kicks to the balls you'll feel throughout the grind of a regular season. No team has embodied that more than this year's Blackhawks. Hell, the past several weeks included a 9 game "the sky is falling & fire [...]
Cena Goes Old School
Now that the filler known as Elimination Chamber pay-per-view is in the rear view mirror, we're officially on the road to WrestleMania. 'Mania season is most anticipated time of the WWE's calender, which means the next 40 days of build up will be off the charts. Or, you could say it will be off of Eve's ass, whichever you prefer. For the first [...]
Why People Hate LeBron
Only in the deranged/twisted/image conscious mind of LeBron James would having one of the best individual regular seasons not be satisfying enough. You would think a year removed from feeling the vitriol and hate from every fan base in the association would ease the mind of the best player in the game, but it's never a dull moment for the [...]
Happy BDay, MJ
You'll have to excuse me if I takes a few minutes of your time away from Linsanity to honor the G.O.A.T. on his birthday. Michael Jordan turns 49 today and besides feeling really old myself, it's kind of crazy to think MJ's a year away from the big 5-0. Shut up, you're getting old too. There isn't much to say about Jordan that hasn't [...]
