Brown Bag it, Baby
Easily the most discussed and scrutinized body part this post season in the NBA has been LeBron James’ elbow. I noted that LeBron’s right elbow seemed to limit him in Game 1 against the Celtics, a contest in which LeBron scored 35 points …
I understand how some athletes, knowing they’re going to be on the cover of a major publication, can let stylists and fashion moguls craft a look for them and go along with it. What I don’t understand is how you can give your stamp of …
Monday was a tragic day on the University of Virginia campus where a member of the men’s lacrosse team, George Huguely, killed his former girlfriend, Yeardley Love, a member of the women’s lacrosse team. In some absurd transitive logic, …
Not to pile on Raiders destined to be released quarterback JaMarcus Russell, but allow me to pile on. Russell has taken heat for spending “more time in the jewelry store than the film room” and for being the biggest bust this side of Ryan …
Celtics GM Danny Ainge was in attendance for Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinals between the Cavs and Celtics on Monday night. Although his Celtics pulled away from the Cavs in the third quarter and went on for an easy win, Ainge did …
Last year the Mariners may have won 85 games and finished 3rd in the AL West, but they were last in the American League in runs scored. During the offseason they made several moves that had me and several other AL fans concerned. In addition to …
When I called them “Faker Fans” a few years ago, this is exactly what I had in mind. While the hardcore fans are sitting in the 300 level or watching the game at home with friends or at the bar, you have the Hollywood-type, Faker Fans …
While watching the fourth quarter of the Hawks/Bucks closeout Game 7 on ABC, I couldn’t help but be pleased when I heard the national broadcast team of Mike Tirico and Hubie Brown speak so glowingly about the UCLA basketball program. Bucks …
It’s been a good weekend for LeBron James. Not only did he rebound from his elbow injury to score 35 points in a Game 1 comeback win over the Celtics in the playoffs on Saturday, but he also won his second MVP award on Sunday. There was a …
Mo Williams had played 150 regular season and 19 playoff games with the Cavs but there’s one thing he hadn’t done with the team until Saturday night: dunk. LeBron James was aware of that and always told him something that turned out to be …
One of the most scrutinized body parts in the NBA since Shaq’s toe has been LeBron James’ elbow. The right elbow has been bothering him for some time (perhaps why he rested the end of the regular season?) and it bothered him so badly he …
With minicamps getting started across the NFL, what better time than now for Brett Favre to let the world know that he needs ankle surgery to continue playing? Of course it might not be Favre who sparked the discussion — he might have just been …
Many people will be piling on the Dallas Mavericks for yet another early playoffs exit but I don’t want you falling into that same pattern. They’ll point to Dallas winning at least 50 games every season in the decade and having nothing to …
I’m no longer a betting man, but if I were I know I would have put money on the Capitals winning Game 7 against the Canadiens in D.C. I couldn’t have been more wrong. With a 2-1 win in Game 7, the Habs became the first 8th seeded team to …
Talk about a blast from the past. I was stunned to come across a press release informing me that former Illinois star and longtime NBA player Kendall Gill was returning to boxing. Despite being 41-years-old and five years removed from his last season …
That’s what the National Enquirer is saying, and after the way the whole Tiger Woods scandal ended up, there’s reason to believe their reporting is accurate. As Sports by Brooks informs us, the Enquirer has sources on record saying NASCAR …
