The 4 Hs make a difference in sports (and I’m not talking HGH for once)

If you’re an avid follower of the Bias, or have had the unfortunate luck of knowing me for an extended period of time, you’ve no doubt heard me rant and rave about everything from HGH to the horrendous officiating in the NBA. But if there’s one thing I bang on more than LeBron James and [...]

Somebody get a hand in Ray-Ray’s face, or Swank, Stallone, Artest gonna knock you out

Initial thoughts from tonight’s 103-94 victory by the Boston Celtics over the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 2 of the NBA Finals: Who was the best fighter in the gym tonight? A. Hillary Swank. B.

The Hangover, thumbs up. The Finals, thumbs down.

Tonight’s game was not a classic, be happy you didn’t pay $4,000 to see it in person – 15-15 after a quarter, 20 turnovers by the Magic, who got homered to death by the officiating crew in Los Angeles, and they still managed to force overtime: that’s how bad the Lakers played — just one [...]

What Would Jesus Do … Against Kobe Bryant?
