The Expected Shock
There's usually a shock factor that comes over us when we learn of a celebrity's death. Thanks to Twitter, you have to be extra careful before believing a story because there are always RIP 'enter star's name here' tweets that are trending worldwide. When we learned of Whitney Houston's passing over the weekend, the hope was that is was [...]
What Deng’s All-Star Selection Really Means
Like most Bulls fans, I was ecstatic for Luol Deng when he was named to his 1st all-star game on Thursday night. It was a short-lived excitement, however, because it was right around the time that Shaquille O'Neal claimed Rajon Rondo was the best point guard in the NBA. Before throwing my remote at the television, Charles Barkley, thankfully, [...]
Sammi’s Finest 9.0
Have you ever had to go to court for a ticket, an arrest… whatever, and you see those people that look they just rolled out of bed? Appearance is everything, everywhere! Job interviews, court, how you eat an ice cream cone… I just don’t understand the mentality of some people. You’d have to be a crack head, literally, like this [...]
Linsanity’s Saving The Knicks
Just when most fans, players & executives around the association thought this Knicks season was morphing into another lottery bound disaster, a virtually unknown point guard from Harvard has magically saved their season. It's hard to comprehend what's going on with the Knicks since Jeremy Lin took over the starting point guard role, but [...]
Now, Get Cutler Some Weapons
It's always easy to blast the Bears for the weird and often idiotic way they do business, but they deserve credit for scrapping the whole passing game coordinator idea. I've never heard of such a position, but if anyone in the NFL would try and create one, it would definitely be the Bears. But offensive Mike Tice was obviously put off by the [...]
Kobe Doin’ Work…For Records
Having watched and lived through Michael Jordan's dismal two seasons with the Wizards, I unfortunately know when one of my favorite athletes is losing the ungodly talent that once defined him. As someone who has been a fan of Kobe Bean Bryant ever since the day he announced he was turning pro right out of high school, it's become sad watching [...]
Madonna’s Still Got It
I swear, people wouldn't be happy with the Super Bowl halftime show unless they themselves were up on that stage showcasing whatever "talents" they think they have. As is the standard once the game ends, the tedious and repetitive halftime show bashing commences just because. "Hey, did you see Madonna slip?! Ugh, she's awful. How could [...]
Gisele’s A Loyal Broad
"You have to catch the ball when you’re supposed to catch the ball. My husband cannot (bleeping) throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can’t believe they dropped the ball so many times." - Gisele Look at the super model wife of Tom Brady going off on Wes Welker and the rest of the Pats wide receivers. I'm going to [...]
Brady’s Far From An “Embarrassment”
I hate wasting time on sports imbeciles, but the Super Bowl brings out emotions & thoughts that are beyond comprehension. Enter Eric Wilbur of the Boston Globe. I only read a portion of his column calling Tom Brady an "embarrassment" because I had to immediately ram my head through a wall. So if the rest of this piece seems more odd than [...]
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 [...]
