Do - Do - Do You Have It? They did.

Bob Costas eulogized Howard Cosell thusly: “… his style — part journalist, part carnival barker — made him unique.”  Cosell’s vibrant and occasionally provocative style made him a giant among sports journalists.  It is to his great credit, then, that he was always respectful of the boundary between journalistic integrity and sensationalism.  He certainly set a [...]

Josh Howard’s “Problem”

By now, I’m sure everyone has heard of Josh Howard’s weed smoking ways. In addition to Howard making it public, the topic was further brought to the public during Michael Irvin’s radio show. Irvin did a great job insistently prodding Howard about the topic until it was almost painful to hear. I understand that it [...]

Hope you enjoyed the run Memphis - it might not happen again.

I’ll admit: I became a big fan of Memphis and John Calipari. The team won 38 games, beat every big name opponent out of conference (save Tennessee and, eventually, Kansas ) yet was doubted every game in the tournament after the first weekend.
Sad reality? History says the Tigers are going to have a damn tough [...]

Just get to the freaking point, Ocho Psycho

Look, Mr. Johnson:
We don’t care if you want a trade, and we’re glad you finally said it. But don’t waste our damn time going through this dog and pony show, crying at the Superbowl, crying at the Pro Bowl, crying to ESPN’s Brian Kenny (which we’ll show you in a second) and calling out the [...]

Don’t ever eat hotdogs at the dogtrack

Dog racing has come under more scruitiny over the past decade from PETA and the handle is way down.  I guess you could call the 1960’s through the 1990’s the ”Golden Age of Dog Racing.”  Due to online gambling technology, and states that love casino gambling revenue these canine cruisers are going the way of the beeper. 

Stanley Cup - Game Capsules

Boston 1 - Montreal 4
The Bruins just don’t have the horses.  The good news is that Marc Savard was in the lineup, and that Tim Thomas didn’t play poorly, but Montreal came in and did their business.
Nashville 1 - Detroit 3
A controversial game-winner put Detroit up for good midway in the third period.  Sorry Preds [...]

Stanley Cup - Night 1 Game Capsules

NY Rangers 4 - New Jersey Devils 1
The Rangers did just enough and New Jersey made 1 save too few before the Rangers blew the game open late. If it were any other goalie I might worry about the game-winner, but it’s Martin Brodeur so I’m sure nobody is going to worry overmuch. [...]
