The NBA Playoffs: Where amazing happens & legends (along with repetitive TV footage) are made.

Truth be told, I have barely watched the first three quarters of Games 1 and 2. I just walk back & forth past the TV & listen, waiting on the 4th quarter. It’s then that Read the rest of this entry »

The cruel thing about soccer is that in an instant, 180 minutes of hard-won domination can be rendered useless. Case in point, yesterday’s Champions League semi-final match between Chelsea and Barcelona.

Over the course of two matches, Chelsea managed to shackle — statistically-speaking — the greatest Barcelona team ever, better than the likes of the early ‘90s “Dream Team” and the ’06 squad featuring Ronaldinho at his superhuman peak. Barcelona was running scared shitless, mistiming every pass in anticipation of hard tackles flying in, especially from one man — marauding midfielder Michael Essien.

It was Essien who gave Chelsea the advantage when Read the rest of this entry »

While most sports fans have their attention focused on March Madness, there’s another tournament going on as we speak. It’s called the WBC (World Baseball Classic).

Heard of it? I’m pretty sure I’m one of the few who has actually kept up with it.

Started in 2006, baseball people decided to do their own version of the World Cup but with only a few teams and as much hype as the new Pepsi can design. Now with the 2008 WBC is wrapping up with Korea vs. Japan in the final, here are a few things I learned about this display of glorified spring training.

5. USA jerseys look like arse — Team USA uniforms are ass. All I need is the American flag Hammer pants from Napoleon Dynamite. If the jerseys are proper, people will rock ‘em (See: Dream Team 1992). And that’s a walking advertisement for the practically new tournament. Good merchandise assists your own marketing, idiots.

4. WBC games don’t matter? If a player from your favorite team gets injured in the WBC it may ruin your season. See ’08 AL MVP Dustin Pedroia. Read the rest of this entry »

Let us not forget that the NBA still has a season going on & there’s some pretty athletic guys in that league, even a few who play with heart, passion and all for decent paychecks. Here, Superman blocks spikes a Milwaukee player’s shot into the fifth row. This kid just keeps Read the rest of this entry »

Athletes are just like the rest of us.

Minus the facts that they get paid a truckload of cash, get more butt than ashtrays and, apparently, they party just a little bit harder than the rest of us. Read the rest of this entry »

– I don’t care what anyone says, Dwight’s dunk off the side of the backboard was monstrous. What was even more impressive was that he did it in one take, making it look completely effortless. But… Read the rest of this entry »

Bless the comedy of errors that is the current Knicks team. They just started to experience a resurgence, winning eight of their past eleven games including five straight at home. Things seemed to be headed in the right direction…til Kobe & his motley crew of misfits came to town & KB8 lit the Knickerbockers up for 61 points, a Garden record.

The reason for Kobe’s fueled play? Read the rest of this entry »
