Am I Feeling A Draft?

Posted on: Wednesday, June 28th, 2006 in: NBA

The 2006 NBA Draft is tonight (7pm ESPN). A night filled with excitement, cliches and bad suits.
Just like every year, lots and lots of rumors and questions are flying around just hours before the draft. Here’s just a few:

Will Toronto hold on to the first pick?
Are the Hawks really thinking about taking Sheldon […]

2 Things That Suck About Soccer

Posted on: Tuesday, June 27th, 2006 in: Soccer

Imagine you are sitting at home getting ready to watch the NFC Divisional Playoffs. Now imagine that with every snap the ref throws out a flag for holding.
Better yet, imagine how bad an NBA Finals game would be if they called every time White Chocolate travelled, or every time Jason Terry palmed the ball. […]

Ozzie Guillen Is Not An Around The Horn Fan

Posted on: Wednesday, June 21st, 2006 in: Commentary

Sometimes sports writers have the tendency to piss people off. It’s part of the job.
Some will write controversial columns just to get a rise out of people. Others will write argumentative articles because that is really how they feel.
And then there’s Chicago Sun Times columnist Jay Marrioti.
While I don’t read Mariotti’s work with […]

South Beach Fiesta

Posted on: Wednesday, June 21st, 2006 in: NBA

The Miami Heat are your NBA Champs. For the 1st time in their 18 year history the team from South Beach has a reason to celebrate.
I would hate to point out that I predicted that Miami would win this series in six games, and that D-Wade would be named Finals MVP but…I predicted that Miami […]

Someone Is Stalking…Bob Uecker?

Posted on: Tuesday, June 20th, 2006 in: Commentary

Looks like Mr. Belvedere is gonna have to add “bodyguard” on his list of butler duties for Mr. Bob Uecker.
Uecker, who has been the voice of the Milwaukee Brewers for 35 years, but is probably most famous for his outstanding acting abilities in such movies as Major League, and Major League 2 and in the […]

Carolina Wins The Stanley Cup…No One Even Notices

Posted on: Tuesday, June 20th, 2006 in: Commentary

Game 7 of the Stanley Cup was last night. The Carolina Hurricanes beat the the Edmonton Oilers 3-1 to win their first Stanley Cup in the short history of the franchise…
Yeah I know, I don’t care either.
I didn’t even realize the NHL still existed. I know they settled their labor dispute and what not, […]

Would You Like Some Cheese With Your Whine?

Posted on: Monday, June 19th, 2006 in: NBA

Seems like everyone remotely involved with the Dallas Mavericks can’t get over the fact that they lost Game Five of the NBA Finals last night. It also seems that the reason they lost was not their fault.
It wasn’t their fault thatyet again D-Wade scortched them, this time for 43, including 17 in the 4th […]

What to Watch This Weekend: 6/16-6/18

Posted on: Friday, June 16th, 2006 in: Commentary

Well it looks like we finally got a series in the NBA Finals. D-Wade and the Miami Heat really put an ole fashioned beat down last night, beating the Dallas Mavericks by 24 points. Wow.
Not much really to say about the game though. To sum it up, Miami did everything right and Dallas did everything […]

Chris Henry’s Summer Just Got Worse

Posted on: Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 in: NFL

Some NFL players use the offseason to relax on the beach or maybe spend some good ole quality time with their family.  Not the Bengals’ Chris Henry.  He spends his offseason breaking the law.
Henry has already been charged with 3 DUI’s this summer.  That’s right, 3.  Everyone’s blowing up about JJ Redick’s one DUI, yet […]

Brazil Inspires Me

Posted on: Wednesday, June 14th, 2006 in: Soccer

As your continuous home for World Cup Soccer coverage, I’m hear to let you in on a little secret…those guys from Brazil are pretty damn good.
Even though they only won their match 1-0 yesterday, it seemed as if they were in control and just toying with the Croatians all day. It’s as if they […]
