Open Letter To Dixie Carter
Dixie, You don't know who I am, nor do you probably care. That's fine, because I like to keep a low profile. How's the company going? Judging by the ratings, not that well. I know the reasons for this, and that's why I am writing you this letter. I know how you can save that dog and pony show you are running. When I watch TNA, I feel like I [...]
The Man To Fix TNA
Quick, what was your favorite era as a wrestling fan? For me, the mid to late 80's was as good as it gets. The WWE was in the main stream as much as Cheers, Miami Vice, and Rocky Balboa ending the Cold War with his knockout win vs Ivan Drago. If you're younger than me, there's a good chance your favorite era of wrestling was the summer of '96 [...]
The Wait Continues
As a lifelong boxing fan, it pains me to see where the sport currently sits in the sports landscape. It has fallen quicker from people's minds than Rocky V fell out of Sylvester Stallone's fans conscience. The lack of a great American heavyweight is what has killed this sport to the casual fan. People may have hated Mike Tyson ,or didn't [...]
The nWo Of The NBA
When you grow up rooting for the greatest dynasty in the history of the NFL (80's-90's 49ers), I know what it's like to have the team that everyone wants to beat. I had to hear it from everyone who watched the NFL. I thrived on it because, at the end of the day, my team was winning games and SuperBowls. Now that Miami Heat head slime ball, Pat [...]
From Quitness To Sellout
After taking some time to calm down from The LeBacle, I finally feel like I'm ready for an unbiased view on the biggest con man (LeCon if you will) in sports. Okay, maybe not. This train wreck career decision made by the Queen Diva confuses anyone with a love for basketball and the NBA. We all thought MeBron James wanted it all. He's the [...]
D Day For The King
After two plus years of trades, salary cap managing, season tanking, and bowing to The King himself, LeBron James is finally ready to make a decision. Or, is he? The silliness of NBA free agency is mercifully nearing it's end, and I couldn't be happier. The past week of rumors and "people with knowledge of the situation" has been enough to [...]
Mayweather-Mosley Preview
The anticipation of a big money fight still gets me going. It's not like it used to be when Mike Tyson was in his prime, but I still love big fights. There haven't been many in the last several years, but Saturday night in Las Vegas we will be treated to quite a show, if not a great fight. It will be a great show because "Money" Mayweather is [...]
Giving PIP His Props
A basketball formality happened this past week--no not Vinny Del Negro botching another end of game in-bounds play. Although, that did happen too. Scottie Pippen was elected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and will be inducted later this year. I hadn't realized Pip was retired for 5 years already when the announcement was made, but I [...]
WrestleMania XXVI & Tribute To HBK
As an avid WWE fan, I was looking forward to WrestleMania 26 this year. Not only because it's the WWE's version of the SuperBowl, but there was a great chance it would be future Hall of Famer, HBK Shawn Michaels', final match in the WWE. Michaels is my favorite WWE performer and knowing it could be the final time I would see him be "Mr. [...]
2010 NBA Awards
The 2009-2010 NBA regular season is almost over, so I thought it was a perfect time to award the NBA players who have made the season that nobody thought would be important......well, important. Most fans conceded that this NBA season would be the appetizer to the main course that will take place this July 1 when some of the biggest stars in the [...]
