Brown Bag it, Baby
We went through the same thing a few months ago when Mike Mussina announced his retirement. It’s times like these where we must recognize that the age old standards for induction into the Hall of Fame must change. 500 home runs doesn’t …
Hmm, where have I seen this before? Seriously, who isn’t Alex Rodriguez dating these days? With all the stories about the time he puts into sealing the deal with chicks off the field, it really makes you wonder how Alex Rodriguez even has time …
Cat got out of the bag that Shaq was going to Twitter at halftime of a game but the AP picked up on it and that kind of screwed things up. Shaq was going to do it as a response to Charlie Villanueva who got busted by Scott Skiles for updating his …
Although I’m not much of a fan of the NFL combine, I have to say I enjoy when the Wonderlic scores come out. In case you’re unfamiliar with the Wonderlic, it’s a test that’s administered to judge mental swiftness of players. …
Weird title, hard to comprehend, but believe me, have patience and you’ll understand. Manny Pacquiao, now the top pound-for-pound fighter in the world preparing for a match with Ricky Hatton, grew up as a poor kid in the Philippines. Things can …
I guess there’s just something about players scoring on their own goals this season. First we had Ryan O’Byrne light the lamp for the first time all season … on his own net. What Shane O’Brien did for the Canucks definitely …
Greivis Vasquez has a reputation for being quite the talker. The guy said of Cameron Indoor Stadium prior to a game against Duke that it was his house. The Blue Devils proceeded to trash the Terps by 41 or so. Do you think the Maryland guard has …
I thought snakeskin was reserved for Chris Tucker at the tables in Vegas in Rush Hour 2, and Rico from Crocodile Dundee II since he was a Columbian dealer, not NBA players for their ballgames. But that’s what makes Kobe Bryant’s footwear …
Thanks to my boy Jay at The March to Madness for providing the video. I don’t know how he spotted that but it took a pretty sharp eye to catch that. I guess there is separation between church and sport for him.
Just as I got on the WBC for producing an event devoid of much fan attention (something about which players have been critical), I must also point out some of the shortcomings of the lesser March events. The NIT used to be a premier event but now its …
Charlie Villanueva is making a habit of creating news with his Twitter lately. First he tweeted at halftime of last weekend’s win over Boston. His coach Scott Skiles came down on him for that, no surprise. But did you expect that to keep …
Yes, that is Phillies pitcher Brett Myers and his son. Yes, the shirt the young kid is wearing has a confederate flag on it and reads, “Redneck and proud of it.” What else would you expect from a guy who (allegedly) beat his wife, and …
One maxim I pretty much adhere to is that I don’t criticize collegiate athletes for on-field related performance. I have no problem criticizing their coaches considering they get paid big bucks to win, but as far as we know (I know, I know) …
Someone must be working behind Charlie Weis’ back because I think he’d be too much of a wuss to step up and play Miami while he’s coaching. And with that line, it’s pretty evident that you’re on one side or the other …
Now usually I consider talking about athlete’s physical appearances to be off limits (with the exception of Julian Tavarez) since often times people can’t do anything about the way they look (nor should they feel a need to). However, the …
You probably already know my thoughts on this since I’ve opined on the World Baseball Classic before. Still, let’s present the facts of the case first. Over the weekend around 11,000 fans showed up to watch the U.S. play Netherlands at …
