Brown Bag it, Baby
Man, last weekend was like taking candy from a baby. We swept the board going 3-0 to improve to 11-7 on the year, and you didn’t even have to sweat for two of the picks. Considering the fact that last weekend was blowout city for Doc’s …
It’s amazing what impact the words of a legendary quarterback can have. On Monday the news came out that Tony Romo’s broken digit would keep him out 4-5 weeks — enough time to seriously derail the Cowboys chances of a Super Bowl …
ESPN writer Scoop Jackson penned a column on B.J. Upton explaining that Upton’s stellar play in the playoffs could attract young inner-city African Americans to play baseball. I never understood what the claims of the crisis to begin with; …
I’d like to think that most Dodger fans are pretty sensible creatures. Unfortunately Doyer fans have decided to make up for the Raiders not being in town anymore and have left me disappointed. They’ve been involved in stadium shootings, …
You remember that movie Forest Gump? It was based on a book called Being There. Also known as the Terry Francona story. That dude has just totally been along for the ride during the Red Sox success the past few years which includes a pair of World …
Baseball may have caused Stephen King to start reading during a game, but at least it didn’t put him to sleep. That’s more than I can say for this Spaniard who was so bored he passed out during the Stanislas Wawrinka/Feliciano Lopez 3rd …
It bothered me that Joe Torre got so much credit for the Dodgers making it to the playoffs, and even more after they swept the Cubs. The amounts of praise he received was nauseating. There was talk about what a calming influence he provided, how he …
This is easily one of my favorite videos on YouTube. The title tells the story. Enjoy. So that was NBA player and soon to be All-Star point guard for the Nets, Devin Harris, getting balled up by a no-name kid from the U.K. — Stuart Tanner. Big …
I spent Monday praising the Falcons for their turnaround and Matt Ryan for his amazing display of maturity despite being a rookie quarterback. You would ordinarily figure that if anyone would be pleased by the team’s display it would be the …
I’ve always been a fan of Matt Stairs, professional hitter. He has a unique style and always struck me as such the prototypical beer league softball player. Only he plays real baseball. And he plays it well. And in one statement, Stairs showed …
And everyone thought Miami players were the badboys of college football? May need to reevaluate things. [The Wiz of Odds] Terrell Owens looks ridiculous dressing like a nerd [Shutdown Corner] Are squib kicks the answer at the end of games? …
Through six weeks of the NFL season, the Atlanta Falcons are far and away the biggest surprise of the NFL. They’re tied for first at 4-2 and they’re doing it with a rookie quarterback as their starter. I’d guess that 90% of all …
For the same reason I praised Matt Ryan for being such a good quarterback despite being a rookie, I point out the following video of Dan Orlovsky. This is exactly how lost a typical young quarterback looks in an NFL game: I remember laughing out loud …
We knew Reggie Bush was fast, especially after seeing his two game-breaking punt returns for touchdowns on Monday night against the Saints. If you were watching the game you may have noticed that they were clocking Bush’s speed on a speedometer …
The win for Oregon over UCLA must have been extra sweet for the fans who have all sorts of distaste for Bruins coach Rick Neuheisel. Apparently the hatred dates back to two events. The first was a fake punt run by Neuheisel’s team in the 4th …
Just as I went berserk over Knowshon Moreno’s amazing touchdown runs and hurdles over defenders, I feel like I must also pass along the times when he gets crushed by a defender. I was watching live when this hit happened and thought it sounded …
