A Real ‘Mania Moment
There's nothing quite like WrestleMania. The WWE's biggest show is a spectacle that is unlike any other entertainment event this side of the Super Bowl. It's pretty much a week long wrestling gang bang that features charity events, Axxess, superstars on virtually every radio and TV show imaginable, stars throwing out the first pitch at [...]
Louie’s Random Rant 2.0
Some random thoughts as I try to think about anything but Kevin Ware's gruesome injury... Was there anything sweeter than seeing Bill Self and Kansas piss down their legs down the stretch vs Michigan? If you know me, you fully comprehend my biggest joy in watching college basketball is scouting the future NBA players. But a close [...]
How ‘Mania Should Play Out
Hall of Fame broadcaster Jim Ross once said that he couldn't care less who won a match in professional wrestling as long as the crowd was engaged and felt strongly about both competitors. That's an understandable feeling, and one that most wrestling fans take to when they're attending or watching a wrestling show. When the [...]
WWE’s CenaMania ’13
The WWE's road to WrestleMania officially (and usually) starts at the Royal Rumble event in January every year, but this year's event was merely another date on the company's grueling calender. Normally, the Super Bowl of wrestling is loaded with feuds and story lines that culminate at 'Mania before a reset button is hit and fresh rivalries [...]
NFL Draft Big Board
Now that the Under Armour promotional event known as the NFL combine is over and pro days are underway, teams draft boards are being finalized for the most vital weekend of the league's off-season. The smart teams don't get swayed by a player's performance at the Combine or pro day, but it's all apart of the crap shoot process to try and [...]
Louie’s Random Rant
I'm doing something different today. Instead of focusing on one topic to ramble on and on about, why not hit a number of issues that stuck with me in the past week? You know, kind of like what the Blackhawks have to do to get the lead on SportsCenter? Perhaps if they wore Lakers jerseys or turned LeBron's new shoes into hockey skates, the [...]
Top NFL Combine Performers
It happens every year. Once the NFL Combine's over, players who shine in the 40-yard dash shoot up the hype chart, while those struggle are suddenly viewed as a potential toxic pick and someone that teams need to redo their film work on. I don't put much stock into Combine warriors, but you can't discredit those that show up to Indy in [...]
Post Combine NFL Rundown
With the NFL Scouting Combine over and yours truly having seen enough guys in ugly Under Armour gear for three days, the focus shifts to the next phase of the off-season... Free agency. Well, that and guessing which players will end arrested for false accusations of rape, bringing a gun to a club, driving drunk or any other act that proves [...]
The Transition Era
The WWE has reached the appetizer stage on the road to WrestleMania with Sunday's Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. With so much unclear about what the big matches will be for the biggest wrestling event of the year, the Chamber somewhat surprisingly features a stacked card. The Big Show will again challenge Alberto Del Rio to [...]
Top NFL Trade Targets
It's not often that big name players in the NFL get traded, but it's always intriguing when you hear a top level player in his prime can be had because a team can't manage their salary cap, doesn't want the drama he brings or has a better replacement. If there's one aspect of the league that's lacking, you know besides fining [...]
