Hawks Win In 6 If…
After a roller coaster season that saw a horrendous 9 game losing streak, a concussion to their captain, misplaced and idiotic rumors of their coach getting fired & inconsistent play from their goalies and star players, the Blackhawks enter the playoffs with a legitimate shot to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup come June. Because of their [...]
Don’t Sweat The Knicks
One free throw. That's all it would have taken from Luol Deng or Derrick Rose to further expose the hero ball Knicks (8-34 from 3-point land) as jump shooting 1st round playoff out. But instead, the two all-stars gagged from the line (0-4) in clutch time to give Carmelo Anthony the opportunity to display his big balls in front of a national TV [...]
How Raw Should Be
Back in the day during the "Monday Night Wars," my friends and I would gather weekly at one of our houses to watch both WWF's Monday Night Raw, and WCW's Monday Nitro. We were in high school at the time, so we had enough wrestling knowledge gathered and enough of our innocence left to fully understand, comprehend & revel in [...]
Sorry Bron, KD’s The MVP
LeBron James got the better of Kevin Durant on Wednesday night, but KD should still win the league's MVP award. Why has the NBA's MVP award become such an honor that has multiple definitions? My theory is that entirely too many people have outlets to spew verbal diarrhea and form their own definition of one of the most important [...]
Throwback Artist Of The Week
Last week, Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth's "They Reminisce Over You" was the throwback jam of the week. Since that is one of the better and more influential hip hop jams of all-time, it deserved it's own moment. But why limit these posts to just one song. You know what I mean? Thank you for virtually agreeing with me. This week, [...]
Bill Murray’s The Anti Belushi
Tell me, what pisses you off more than celebrity sports fans? I'm sure you have a laundry list of people & everyday tasks that are like a gnat at a barbecue, but celebrity "fans" are right there for yours truly. I despise them for hopping on the bandwagon when a team is in playoff or championship contention, because it shows [...]
Rooting For The Bad Guys
It's no secret that I have grown to detest college basketball because of how money driven the suits are, the exploitation of the athletes and how immature and insane the fans are. I still enjoy the NCAA Tournament and all of the drama that comes with it, but the days of rooting for, and appreciating, the Cinderella's to make a deep run [...]
Living Up To The Hype
Knowing that Monday night Raw was going to take place in Miami the night after the highest grossing event in WWE history, I felt compelled to wait to write my WrestleMania recap. And now that Brock Lesnar has returned to F-5 John Cena at the conclusion of Raw, I'm thrilled I waited to write about the amazing week in Miami. Whether it [...]
Why WrestleMania Still Matters
To many casual professional wrestling fans, WrestleMania is the one event on the WWE's calender that warrants the attention and brings those fans in for their one wrestling expenditure of the year. You don't have to be a die hard to have your interest peaked when you hear WrestleMania come up in conversation this time of year. Even [...]
One Cubs Wish For 2012
The beauty of this upcoming Cubs season is that there isn't the usual insane optimism that is only a mask for false hope. Gone are the days where Jim Hendry's wild spending would convince even the most knowledgeable Cubs fan (yes, there are some rational ones among the drunken stupid) that the team had a legitimate chance at contending for a [...]
