Memo To “Breesus”
Since when has Drew Brees been anointed the NFL's top politician? It doesn't matter who you are, if you have a microphone... the self righteous & self loving Saints quarterback will be right there to speak his mind. During last year's lockout, Brees was the players' mouthpiece by choice as they battled the owners in a fight they couldn't [...]
Divorcing Fantasy Football
One of the worst conversations to get stuck in starts off with a "Hey, want to hear about my fantasy football team's 100+ point week?" That question is almost as obnoxious as getting a text from a friend who can't wait to tell you about his catchy & "funny" team name. No, I don't want to hear about your team, draft, sleeper pick in the [...]
Just Another Baseball Diva
Perhaps I'm still bitter at Ryan Dempster for urinating down his leg in the '08 playoff opener. Or, maybe I'm just sick of Dempster's ridiculous suits and all of the silliness of the Cubs' costume parties while they're getting raped by the Cards. Whatever the case might be, I've had enough of Cubs players refusing to accept trades that can [...]
The Summer Of Stupidity
Hey, do you remember when the NBA lockout was supposed to save the owners from themselves? Sure, the league implemented the amnesty clause as a get out of NBA hell free card, but the bad money is again flowing like it does whenever players hit the Vegas strip. Certain teams are feeling the burn of the more punitive luxury tax hits, but the [...]
Previewing Raw 1000
When the WWE wants to pimp an event, they do so with the ferocity of a Stone Cold Stunner. The 1,000th edition of Raw has a pay-per-view hype surrounding it as if it were SummerSlam, the Survivor Series or the Royal Rumble. You'll have to excuse the WWE for basically doing the Vince McMahon walk because broadcasting Raw from [...]
GarPax’s Last Stand
It's inexcusable to be content as a Bulls fan these days, but that's exactly what you'll have to be as another two seasons are wasted on West Madison St.. No, losing the vaunted "Bench Mob" isn't a travesty, but prepare yourself for a repeat of of the '08-'09 & '09-'10 seasons as the Bulls try to clear the decks and make one more run [...]
A Drama Free Camp
Whether you think Matt Forte deserves the 4 year $31.5 million extension (with $17.1 million in guarantees. By tagging him twice, they would have owed him $17.03 million) from the Bears is irrelevant. The only player in NFL history to gain 900 yards rushing and 400 receiving in each of his first four seasons got paid by the team that [...]
We’re All Idiots
All it took was Kobe Bryant opening his mouth and and reminding so many why they hate him in the first place. I'd throw the quote in here, but it will only feed the dumbest argument this side of "Should the Bulls match the Omer Asik offer sheet?" I laughed initially too, MJ. It's cool. I was fortunate to have been old enough to [...]
Jabari’s The Realness
It's no secret that Simeon's Jabari Parker is the next high school superstar that will soon make a smooth transition to the NBA game. The soon to be senior came out with a list of 10 schools that he'll grace with his presence for a year before jumping to the show to save whatever bumbling franchise is lucky to win the '14 draft lottery. [...]
More Paulina Gretzky
You kind of can't blame the washed up Adam Sandler for making "Grown Ups 2." I mean, even though the first "Grown Ups" apparently sucked balls ( I didn't see it because I figured as much), Sandler is banging away at another shit flick. I kind of see why he is, however. Twitter and Instagram phenom Paulina Gretzky is going to be making an [...]
