Loser of the Week

Remember when the Big-10 was a monster of a football conference?  Remember when Michigan and Ohio State were the Bebop and Rocksteady of the football world?  Well this last week, Big-10 (or Big-11 if you know how to count) fans got a rude awakening and a realization that football no longer is born in the [...]

But What If He Gets Traded?

He Hate Me will have no shortage of candidates for Loser of the Week come Monday, as an endless parade of sports idiots keep prancing through early September. And the latest? The wide receiver formerly known as Chad Johnson. In some kind of weird homage to the XFL, the Cincinnati Bengals (the [...]

Thanks for a Sweet Game NFL!!!!

You know how TV shows now a days always start off their seasons with two hour premieres that have more twists and turns than Lombard Street in San Francisco?  They suck you in and get you excited about the season ahead.  You see highlights from shows ahead and maybe a shot of the main character [...]

Winner Winner Chicken Dinner

So my good friend the Big Ticket chose five games this week straight up, against the spread (ATS), and over/under (O/U) but that is not enough for me.  I am a gambler, pure and simple.  I play a ton of online poker (don’t buy into the fact that poker isn’t gambling…anytime you put money into [...]

Second Jumpability is Mourning

Hello loyal followers.  First of all, apologies for not writing for a couple days.  The truth is we have come across tragedy: an injury to the star of our recreational basketball league.

Baseball Predictions for the Final Month (National League)

Little known fact is that I have the ability to see the future.  Pretty cool, right?  So instead of hording this ability to myself, I am going to share it with you all (you’re all very welcome).  Why did I wait until September to reveal the division winners this year?  A great question and once [...]

Fantasy Football: Running Back Rankings (Part II)

Before we get into the second part of the running back rankings, let me reiterate that despite the fact that some of these guys may not be top flight running backs, they all ought to be drafted and they are all capable of helping your fantasy teams to championships.  No one wins a league with [...]

The Olympics are coming!!! Grab your pillow!!!

Every two years I hear from talking heads months in advance of the opening ceremony that the Olympics are upon us.  And each and every year I get really excited.  And each and every year I get let down.  We are told it is all about our country competing against the world but the problem [...]

Will Team USA Dissappoint us Again?

Early this morning, our beloved Olympic Men’s Basketball team only managed an 11 point win against a bunch of third graders from Australia.  That team without Bogut should not have given us problems, but they did, and I know exactly why.  But before we get into that, let’s talk a little about the ridiculous expectations [...]

Here’s some free advice Theo: Don’t Trade Manny!

I will never understand this phenomenon that has begun in the northeast.  Each and every year I have to listen to the Eastern Sports Programming Network (also known as ESPN) talk about how THIS is the year the Sox trade Manny Ramirez.  It’s either because he says he isn’t happy, or that the team mistreats [...]

The Hardest Position in Professional Sports

For the record “Tiger Woods’ Final Pairing Playing Partner on Sunday at a Major” is not an official position, per se, and will not be counted in this persuasive essay. That said, there should be no realize surprise which position is the toughest to play on the elitist of stages. NFL quarterback. [...]

How Fred Lewis Broke My Heart…

As a fan of the San Francisco Giants, there is not a lot to be happy about right now. The team sucks, the offense sucks worse, we have an awful GM (Brian Sabean, if you wake up tomorrow with 8 dozen cartons of eggs plastered on the front of your house, it wasn’t me…it [...]
