Brown Bag it, Baby
The finish to the Cleveland St./Syracuse game on Monday night really was tremendous in case you missed it. Down 69-64 with 27 seconds left, Syracuse drained a three pointer to pull within two. A Cleveland St. inbounds pass went out of bounds giving …
The first question I always ask when a team fires a coach is, “Who are they going to hire that’s better than what they have?” It’s the same reason I criticized Mississippi State’s firing of Sylvester Croom — what …
We went over a similar issue when the Giants won the Super Bowl. When there’s a big announcement/outcome expected in the sports world and there’s a pre-determined amount of possibilities for how things will turn out, media members will …
So first we had enthusiastic “Cowboy Chris” heckle ESPN reporter Ed Werder for “yellow journalism” and his use of “anonymous sources.” Maybe T.O. saw that video because he decided to join the bandwagon on Sunday …
Alright, we’re on quite a roll and I’m running out of weeks to pat myself on the back. I guess I’ll give it another week before I start celebrating. Last week we were 3-0 with the picks raising the season record to 25-17. …
ESPN really is getting so annoying and carried away with their coverage of the Dallas Cowboys. In fact, the Cowboys have truly become what the Yankees are to them during the summer — only for football season. They have like daily reports on the …
I don’t know who Corey Hill is and I really don’t care who he is. All I know is that the guy had an MMA fight on Wednesday night and it didn’t go so well. Make sure you have the stomach for watching gruesome injuries if you plan to …
I’ll be the first one to give Cole Hamels some props for pitching lights out in the playoffs. The guy nutted up and was probably the biggest reason the Phillies won the World Series. Still though, I’m not sure that dominance should give …
Barry Sanders is the best running back I’ve ever seen, and probably will always be the best running back I’ll have ever seen (apologies to my cousin). Heck, he’s probably my second favorite player of all-time, right behind Carl …
It’s like the Heisman Trophy, only better. For those of you not checking out the Extra Mustard section of SI online, you’re really missing out. Even Erin Andrews digs it. The Hot Clicks section that’s updated every day is always …
I’ll tell you, after hearing Dominic Raiola’s interview Tuesday on The Monty Show on Sporting News Radio, I don’t want to see the team go 0-16. At first I did just to spite the organization for being so poorly run; it would be the …
Kevin Harvick had a pretty good year for Richard Childress Racing, making the Chase as the 11th driver in the standings. He finished up the year as sixth in the Chase standings, 256 points behind Jimmie Johnson. Harvick ran well at the Ford 400 in …
The Baron Davis project with the Clippers has not exactly started off as planned. Baron began feuding with coach Mike Dunleavy about the team’s extensive playbook and regimented style mere weeks into the season. Through 20 games, the team is 4-16 and …
Clay Buchholz may just be a young pitcher in this league but he’s already established quite a solid dating record. The guy was last seen with a Penthouse model because well, if you have the means … why not? His dad was pretty proud of him for that …
Seems like I’ve been hearing great things about Antonio Bryant the last 10 years, dating back to his days at Pitt. He was a late second round pick, touted as having all kinds of talent, and then he really disappointed in the NFL. Until this …
Last time a Hall of Fame pitcher retired, I wrote him quite the eulogy. Greg Maddux is incomparably better than Mike Mussina, but everyone already knows that. What more is there to say about Maddux as a pitcher? The guy was incredible during the 90s …
