Holmgren, Why?
by: MichaelGenovese
Anytime you can trade for a career back up and sign a washed-up 35-year-old, gun-slinging quarterback you have to pull the trigger. What better way to improve a young, inexperienced team then by adding Jake Delhomme?
Sure, he threw 18 interceptions in 11 games last year. Sure, he had two horrible seasons in a row, and [...]

Ultimate Fighter Episode 10 – Gut Check
On November 24, 2009 at 12:11 am
After last week’s improbable loss by Justin Wren, our next hour finds – during Team Rashad training – the concussive waste laid to Matt becoming less a concrete reality and more another piece on a chess board which is falling down around him.
Coach Evans, and other fighters, voice ever louder discontent with what seems less like [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 9: Rattled
On November 13, 2009 at 9:55 am
For those of you who didn’t catch it Wednesday, and since I’ve been combating a major onrush of brain freeze with coffee and sausage biscuits this morning, let me finally get around to re-capping our first quarter-final episode of Ultimate Fighter: Heavyweights.
The Statue of Liberty replica of “New York, New York” is among the landmarks [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 8: One Soldier Left
On November 5, 2009 at 9:58 am
Rat Mitrione is staying another week, and Rampage ain’t happy.
That was the final verdict of last week’s Ultimate Fighter episode, which left a bad taste in the mouths of a lot of people – as the episode opens, we get to see construction material be murdered all over again and split into three huge pieces [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 7: Voices In My Head (VIDEO)
On October 29, 2009 at 10:00 am
As I sit here furiously typing this out tonight, none but the Real Slim Shady himself is commercially advertising DJ Hero from the next room. With a title bringing to mind straightjackets and shock therapy that Marshall would no doubt possess an Eagle Scout badge in, and partly because of the hype surrounding today’s [...]
New York Post Called Out by Out of Line By Umpire Betsy Gotbaum
On October 28, 2009 at 9:42 am
I’m a gay man. I even read the sports page. Yesterday though, sports was on the front page. And guess what? I laughed. The New York City Public Advocate (Betsy Gotbaum) did not. Does she ever? All you have to do is go to her blog and check out her pathetic attempt at appearing happy [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 6: 16 Sharks
On October 22, 2009 at 9:21 am
After Wes Sims’ elimination last week, we were led to believe that everything taking place in the Octagon is good if it’s followed by a sleeper hold. This week, we’re led to believe that everything taking place outside of the Octagon is good if it’s followed by beer.
We open at the beginning of our [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 5: Rude Awakening
On October 16, 2009 at 9:32 am
For my twentieth Parcbench article I bring you the fifth installment of this TUF season, which lives up to its name — at least with Matt Mitrione, who it seems has been working day and night to outdo the all-time on-screen TUF drama queen Gabe Ruediger! I didn’t think it was possible but here we go! Let’s [...]
NFL Puts Sign in Its Window, Conservatives Not Welcome…
On October 15, 2009 at 9:12 am
Rush Limbaugh wants to be part owner of a National Football League franchise. While most owners do not have the guts to speak publicly on the matter, privately they are making their feelings known and it has had its effect. They want no part of Rush Limbaugh and Rush has subsequently been dropped from the group [...]
So Long, Captain Lou!
On at 8:33 am
Wrestling legend Captain Lou Albano passed away Wednesday, according to an official announcement from WWE.com. He was an icon from an era that’s long gone – the era when it was socially acceptable to watch and enjoy professional wrestling.
Lou knew how to entertain us, as a good guy or a bad guy, he had a [...]
Ultimate Fighter 10 Episode 4: Anaconda
On October 9, 2009 at 10:10 am
The other night it was with an inquisitive nature that I proceeded to view Kimbo’s non-ground-game and subsequent smackdown all over again; a nigh-dangerous moment between Rampage and Big Country; yet another conversation between the Bearded One and Abe – who, if he were on the set of Survivor, would have been home before Nelson’s [...]
Yankees and the Playoffs
On at 2:11 am
The Yankees are back in the playoffs. Last year at this time the Bronx wasn’t burning. As a matter of fact it wasn’t doing anything at all. This year is quite different. There is a new ballpark on 161st street and it was jumping last night. Finally Derek Jeter and the boys were back [...]
