Why WrestleMania Still Matters
To many casual professional wrestling fans, WrestleMania is the one event on the WWE's calender that warrants the attention and brings those fans in for their one wrestling expenditure of the year. You don't have to be a die hard to have your interest peaked when you hear WrestleMania come up in conversation this time of year. Even [...]
Hulk vs Andre 25 Years Later
Since it's WrestleMania week, I've been posting vintage matches from past 'Mania's in anticipation of this Sunday's event in Miami. When I was trying to decide what match to put on the site today, I decided on The Rock vs Stone Cold Steve Austin from WrestleMania 19 in Seattle. It was a close call, but since this is The [...]
One Cubs Wish For 2012
The beauty of this upcoming Cubs season is that there isn't the usual insane optimism that is only a mask for false hope. Gone are the days where Jim Hendry's wild spending would convince even the most knowledgeable Cubs fan (yes, there are some rational ones among the drunken stupid) that the team had a legitimate chance at contending for a [...]
Typical Selig Idiocy
Hey, did you hear? The Major League Baseball season started in Japan early Wednesday morning. I know, I had no idea either. You shouldn't feel like less of a baseball fan, however. The first pitch of the Mariners and A's was at 5:10 am Central. I'm not great at the whole time zone thing, but that has to mean that fans on the left coast would [...]
Throwback Jam Of The Week
Whenever a certain song pops up on one of my insanely good Pandora stations, I perk up like LeBron & D Wade around television cameras. That happened this morning during my workout when "They Reminisce Over You" by Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth came on. It got me to thinking about featuring a classic song every week. I could do it everyday, [...]
War Of Words Is The Worst
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate and need the verbal banter between two superstars in the build up to a big match. The shit talking at press conferences for top flight boxing pay-per-views are as vital and fun as the actual bout itself. HBO has taken the few true main event fights we're subjected to each year to another level with [...]
Fuck College Basketball
In the span of a few short hours on Sunday, it all came back to me. The feelings that I've tried to ignore throughout this NCAA Tournament reared their ugly heads during the Kansas-North Carolina game. I've always despised people for insulting my intelligence by saying that college basketball is superior to the NBA, and Sunday proved just how [...]
Vinny’s Coaching Funeral
The Vinny Del Negro "coaching" experiment should have ended the night that John Paxson grabbed him by the tie and nearly beat the shit out of him. Only the Clippers could watch this guy run basic screen and rolls & isolations with the Bulls and think, "ya know what, this is our guy!" Only those same Clippers could look at Del Negro as the [...]
Coach Of The Year…Again
Before we fast forward to the Bulls & Heat in the eastern conference finals, can we first present Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau with this year's coach of the year award? I know it's taboo to reward a coach with this award two years in a row, but how can anyone in a sober state of mind vote for anyone else? Sure, Stan Van Jeremy has held his [...]
Suck It, Canucks
If the Vancouver Canucks weren't such typical European bitches, their rivalry with the Blackhawks would be good, but it wouldn't be personal for so many fans who sit on the edge of their seats when the two teams play. For whatever reason, hockey still brings out my inner meatball. When Duncan Keith elbows Daniel Sedin (see the video above) [...]
