NFL Quarterbacks – Smarten Up!
On June 15, 2010 at 7:57 am
Vince Young of the Tennessee Titans is the latest QB to get into trouble in the NFL. In case you missed it, Vince Young is on film fist fighting someone. He is but the latest in a long list of NFL QBs who just do not understand their positions in life. Most recently, we had Michael [...]

On at 7:47 am
Do you know a kid who wants to sing at the 2010 US Open Tennis Championships in Flushing Meadows, New York? For the fourth year in a row, the United States Tennis Association is seeking talented kids 12 years of age or younger to be among those to audition to sing a musical composition at [...]
Twitter Revamps For The World Cup
On June 11, 2010 at 11:13 am
Social Media giant Twitter has wisely chosen to exploit The World Cup for their own means, good for them and good for us. In a first for the forum, hashtags and keywords will automatically log into a feed that is entirely pimped out with applications and graphics all its own. To get to the page [...]
Nelson Mandela Isn’t Just Missing The World Cup
On at 10:58 am
Anyone who would notice the absence of Nelson Mandela at the opening World Cup match won’t be reading this as they’re already zoned into the most anticipated sporting event in the world. For the rest of you, as mentioned, the most infamous of Africa’s progeny will be opting out of the event due to the [...]

Guess that’s what happens when you cheat. I think the whole country can hear the UCLA fans cheering.
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 11: A Will To Win
On at 7:22 am
This marks the first of Rich Franklin’s lessons to the hungry-for-glory Team Ortiz, but will it mark a new dynamic between teams in the house? Will Rich and Chuck get along or will the Iceman seek to decorate his team’s TUF bungalow territory with Coach Franklin’s entrails? We can only watch, wait and see how [...]
Nobody is perfect
On June 5, 2010 at 11:57 am
I watched on Wednesday night in horror as Armando Galarraga lost his perfect game to a blown call by 1st base umpire Jim Joyce. It was heart wrenching and I am not even a Tigers fan. I am a true blue Yankee fan and I don’t think I have ever felt as bad watching a [...]
Laker Celebs v. Celtic Celebs
On June 4, 2010 at 7:02 am
While the Lakers and the Celtics are battling for the NBA championship, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa (a loony liberal) is trying to make a friendly wager with Boston Mayor Tom Menino. He wrote in a letter: “Mayor Menino: As the brilliant essayist and cultural observer Chuck Klosterman wrote: “There is no relationship that isn’t a Lakers-Celtics [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 10: Shocked and Awed
On at 6:10 am
The day’s been crazy, the night’s been even worse, but the tenth episode of the Ultimate Fighter was explosive. I’m writing this with one arm virtually locked behind my back, and since we’ve been experimenting with different formats lately I reckon it’s only fitting that our show turns out upside down too. What will be [...]
Armando Galarraga: The (Im)Perfect Game (VIDEO)
On June 3, 2010 at 7:04 am
Detroit Tigers starting pitcher, Armando Galarraga, accomplished an amazing feat that has never been done before in MLB history. On June 2, 2010, Galarraga threw the only perfect game in which a pitcher retired 28 batters. All thanks to the most egregiously erroneous and tragic call in sports when the first base umpire, Jim “The [...]
Halladay Makes History
On June 1, 2010 at 5:33 am
Little did I know when a very dear US Army veteran friend invited me to the Phillies-Marlins game in Miami last night that I would be a witness to some pretty amazing baseball history. Initially, Dave’s (a passionate Mets fan) motivation was to experience Phillies baseball with a crazy Philly sports fan like me, having [...]
Briggs: Big, Bad, Nice.
On at 5:15 am
If one thing (aside from a lack of cable TV coverage) is killing boxing, it’s the lack of an American hero in the heavyweight division. This past weekend, I had the pleasure of being involved in a local boxing event featuring a tune-up bout for former WBO heavyweight champion Shannon Briggs. The night was amazing, [...]
Ultimate Fighter 11 Episode 9: Civilized Sport
On May 28, 2010 at 6:43 am
So, now that I’m fueled on Coke, and I just saw Tito put the choke on Lyoto Machida in the last seconds of their 3rd round UFC 84 brawl, I’m ready and raring to go for our ninth episode recap. It seems like twists and turns have been coming all season; this hour is no [...]
Super Bowl in NYC/NJ… and It’s Awesome
On May 27, 2010 at 6:23 am
It’s about time. How can Glendale, Arizona, get the biggest sporting event in the United States before the greatest city in the United States gets that same game? That just doesn’t make any sense. To the few detractors who say the game stands to make less money because of the weather: Come on, now! That’s silly. The [...]
