Standing Room Only

I got a semi-nice Yankee ticket promo guide in the mail the other day and it got me thinking, how many of these things did they send out?  GS and I went to a grand total of ONE Yankee game in 2007, so it’s not exactly like I should be on the George-Costanza-mass-mailing-list, right?  Seriously, [...]

And the Worst Coach of the Year goes to … Doc Rivers

I know there’s an award for NBA Coach of the Year. Now it’s time we honor the NBA’s Worst Coach of the Year – or if we wanna come up with a fitting acronym, we could call it the DOC (Dumb Ol’ Coach) award. Come on Doc Rivers. I know you were in the running [...]

Paxon’s job is safe — but the Bulls still should have gotten Kobe

Well, I’m a bit surprised. If you remember, a little while ago, I commented on how lucky Laker fans were that Kobe Bryant wasn’t traded to the Bulls. And I noted how the Lakers, had that scenario taken place, would have gotten stuck wound up with Luol Deng, who has not exactly lived up to expectations. [...]

Fighting Fire With Firewood

Yesterday I had one of the worst fantasy days of all time.  My men (and I use that word “men” loosely) combined for 0 HRs and a sickening 36 ERA.  36!  Not even at my very, very worst in slowpitch softball have I ever even approached a 36.  The day started ugly with Kerry Wood [...]

Bias Cracks the Top Million, Jazz Suck, Sager’s Suits Suck

Good news y’all, thanks to all the hard work by the crew at WCBias.com (mainly the offseason acquisition of Senior Blogger Pembertonian and the lack of updates from myself), The Bias has cracked the top million Web sites in the world. Craig Sager wears suits that make Vanilla Ice look cool … as ice. That’s [...]

Things in sports that annoy me: People who pretend to like soccer

You wanna know what really annoys me? I get really annoyed when people who never watch sports suddenly get all riled up about soccer. It doesn’t happen often. In fact, these people ordinarilly never play or watch soccer.  But when the World Soccer Cup comes on, suddenly, they’re all ga-ga about it. They’ll perk up when [...]

Suck it, NFL Draft

Is there anything worse than the NFL Draft?  ESPN hypes this thing like it is the second coming of Jesus Christ and the forty-seven anchors treat it like it is open mic night at the Apollo and make the same unfunny jokes every five seconds.  Maybe it’s because I think the NFL is about as [...]

Enjoy the good times, Marlins fans

I’m going to make this as painless as possible: Don’t get your hopes up, Marlins fans. I know, I know. Standing in first place, Florida fans — all 16,000 who attend each home game — are pretty excited. But sadly for you this isn’t football, which is to say there are more than 16 games. Which is [...]

Things in sports that annoy me: Baseball players who pull their pant legs down

Okay, sure. This may sound petty. But it annoys me when baseball players pull the legs of their pants all the way down to their ankles. First of all, it reminds me of those nimrods who wear jeans when they play softball. Secondly, it just looks dumb. Check out Vlad Guerrero here. I don’t know about you, [...]

Seven Deadly Baller-Rapper Comparisons

Breaking news my fellow hip-hop heads: Dan Patrick has found Tupac. Picture Makaveli rollin’, with the Chicago Bulls? I guess once Jordan left town, dude figured he could keep it on the low below the Chi-Town radar. Hit ‘em up. Nice effort Danny boy, but I think Raymond Felton is a better Pac impersonator than [...]
