Fragile Legacies
One of the reasons why sports is so fascinating is one's career can be defined in a matter of seconds. One play, one turnover, one catch, or one game clinching drop can be the lasting image of a player, despite numerous other career highlights. Stars are born in the money games in January and February, and for three players that [...]
Fuck The Media
Don't get me wrong, there's nothing I hate more in sports than meaningless/pointless/draw attention to yourself shit talking. It serves no purpose other than to put an even bigger spotlight on you and a bigger target for the ass hats in the media to store in their arsenal. If you open your mouth by uttering a guarantee or saying something [...]
Sammi’s Super Bowl Funday
SUPER BOWL SUNDAY FUNDAY!! Here are some fun facts for you to swallow… - 8 million pounds of guacamole is consumed on Super Bowl Sunday. - 14,500 tons of chips are eaten along with that guacamole. - The average number of people at a Super Bowl party is 17. - 5% of Americans will watch the game alone. - The Super Bowl is measured [...]
The Sixers Are The ’07 Bulls
It isn't often that a regular season game in the NBA is considered a must watch, but Wednesday night's Bulls-Sixers tilt was one of the 1st of this rushed & discombobulated season for me. I've only seen bits and piece of this Sixers squad so far, but they are becoming a team that NBA junkies like myself love to watch. They aren't as star [...]
The Unbeatable Giants?
So, have you heard, the New York football Giants are really good. Like so good, your mind will be blown by their mere presence this Sunday during Super Bowl XLVI. For ungodly reasons, I have subjected myself to some of the hype leading into the biggest spectacle (it's not a game) of the football season. And what has been drilled into my dome [...]
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 [...]
