Starlin Assaultro?
Starlin Assaultro? To be a 21-year old All-Star stud in the major leagues, playing in a city like Chicago and even better, being a Chicago Cub… I can see how things could get overwhelming. That being said however, in no way does that justify assaulting a female because you believe you have the power to get away with it. Starlin Castro [...]
Alex Smith’s Moment
One of my all-time favorite announcers is WWE hall of famer Jim Ross. Good 'ol J.R. always used to talk about a wrestler's "moment" and it usually was an iconic event in one's career. Over the weekend, a former number 1 overall pick who has been beaten and abused for 6 years finally had that moment that will forever define him. Alex [...]
The Fix Didn’t Help The Packers
Being the NBA junkie that I am, the conspiracy theories are always flying and often impossible to ignore. Anyone who remembers Game 6 of the 2002 Western Conference Finals can attest to that. Fans who believe in conspiracy theories didn't need Tim Donaghy dropping dimes on the association. Sadly, the officiating crew for the Giants-Packers [...]
NFL Divisional Picks
The NFL divisional round is upon us, and it's giving me a depressing feel of inevitable finality. Yes, we still have the NFL on our minds through February 5th, but this is the last weekend where you feel like you're watching a full slate of games. Championship weekend elicits immediate thoughts of the cold and bitter winter ahead--at least [...]
The Bulls $100+ Million Nightmare
It should be so simple. One is a supposed energy player who doesn't need the ball, nor needs plays run for him. The other, is a rumored offensive threat who couldn't guard a corpse. The try hard hustle guy is there to lock down on defense, and cover the other's indifference on that end of the court. The big money con man free agent isn't there [...]
Mayweather-Pacquiao Isn’t Happening
Nobody wants to listen. I've been preaching to anyone who even remotely cares about seeing a potential Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather super fight for months. People think it's a foregone conclusion that this fight will happen. I'm sorry, but I have bad news for all of my fellow fight fans. It's not happening. And no, I'm not just talking [...]
Are The Bears Serious?
Quick, how many football no-minds does it take to hire a general manager? For the Bears, it only takes one. That's progress, considering this is the same franchise that needed a search firm to find Jerry Angelo. If you recall, Mr. "we're not here to outsmart anybody or show off any of our geniusness" was in their division at the time. What's [...]
Brandon Paul’s Statement Game
I can't lie, I haven't aid much attention to U of I hoops since they lost to North Carolina in the '05 title game. No, I don't consider myself an Illini fan, but I do appreciate great play at the college level by guys who will play in the association. So that's why Brandon Paul is getting his due in this space today. Paul's 43 points [...]
Louis C.K. Rules
Louis C.K. is the man, plain and simple. It's taken me a while to get to how original and cool the his Live at the Beacon Theater comedy special was, but he deserves the praise for basically telling HBO & the rest of the media to fuck itself. Louis produced and directed the special, and it was distributed on his website. Seriously, [...]
Rubio Is The It Factor
Part of the allure of being an NBA fan is the hype that surrounds it's star players wherever they go. Whether it's in a game, a commercial, a club & or a simply seeing the game's best players in any off the court setting, they draw attention. So many of the game's premier players (Dwight Howard) love the spotlight, and all the affection [...]
