Women’s Soccer Just Got Gully

The WNBA could learn a few things about spicing up the action just by looking @ this women’s soccer match between BYU and New Mexico. I keed I keed. Terrible terrible play from New Mexico. I don’t even think the old Detroit Bad Boys were this despicable or at least not as blatant.

Dallas Mavs’ Popeye Jones Arrested For DUI

On Sunday, former Mavs player & now assistant coach Popeye Jones reportedly drank a few too many bottles of Mad Dog 20/20 solo, failed a Breathalyzer test & resisted arrest. I use “reportedly” because you have to use words like “reportedly” and “allegedly,”...

Special Teams Will Kill You Every Time…

Remember when you were young & you had that one imbecile kid on your Jr. Pro youth basketball team? The one who shot the ball in the wrong goal? Or that herb on your Little League squad who could never make the throw to the cutoff man, always sailing the ball over half the infield?

“I Reek Of Being The Man…”

Brett Farve did it. Jordan did it. Hell, even Jesus is supposed to do it. So doesn’t it make sense that Jesus’ older brother and idol, Ric Flair, is coming out of retirement too?

Your Week 8 NFL Recap

I’m glad the NFL has 32 teams. I appreciate that second-rate cities like Jacksonville and Indianapolis get to enjoy the pride of having their own professional franchise in America’s game. But there are definite downsides. One is that some of the 32 teams are going teams are going to be really, really...

“I Had The Black Delta Force, Blue In The Front…”

“Back when Jordan was flyin’ and Ewing could dunk” - Lloyd Banks Yeah, back when Ewing could still dunk and not simply get dunked on. Trying to find a “positive” rap lyric about Ewing was the equivalent of discovering a four-leaf clover. But it did cause me to start thinking...

J.J. Redick, The Rapper

This is likely to get David Stern’s panties in a bunch. According to AHH, former Dukie & current Orlando Magic guard J.J. Redick will be dropping a rap album. According to Redick, he’s part of a “rap super group” that will release a new single before the end of the year titled “Waste...

“The Annexation Of Puerto Rico…”

Hopefully, we can all agree Little Giants is one of the greatest sports films of all time. My only beef with the movie is the fact the Cowboys served as the villains (they’re America’s team, damn it). For the purpose of Disney and the dramatic effect, however, I’ll let it slide.

“By Any Means Necessary…”

Philly fans are wild. I’ll leave it at that. With the World Series set to start tonight in the Bronx, you better believe it’s the hottest ticket in either town seeing as how Philly and New York are only separated by a few hours. Although I do expect Phillies fans to let their presence be...

Sidelined By Twitter…

Oh, the power of words, or pwr ov wrds if you’re speaking the Twitter language. Frustrated with his notoriously lousy franchise the Kansas City Chiefs - which definitely includes the 37-7 paddling given to them last Sunday by the San Diego Chargers - star running back Larry Johnson let loose on...

Marcus Jordan Won’t Wear Your Stinkin’ Adidas

They could not have possibly believed this kid was going to wear anything but Jordan or Nike. But they recruited him anyway (and probably lied assured him he could wear whatever he chose) and now they have a stink brewing at the University of Central Florida, as young Marcus Jordan will not take the...

“Point Out The Bounce…”

It’s a known fact that most oxygen-breathing males will watch the Olympics just to beast @ the female gymnasts. They’re such cute little fairies, so lightweight…and limber…the overuse of makeup that makes them look hooker-ish…and they ride that bar thing and…anyways....

“Oh, You Will Respect Blake Griffin…”

Simply put, the kid has the potential to live up to his freak of nature billing, and given what everyone already knows about him, I fully expect him to. Dubbing Griffin as the ‘next Amare Stoudamire’ may be premature, but clips like this give me all the reason in the world to continue to...
