Audity

I will take this one opportunity to applaud a Philadelphia Eagle. Eagles offensive lineman Evan Mathis posted this photo on Instagram. And when NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell tweeted about it Mathis retweeted…

@nflcommish I’m offended by the actions of Philadelphia Eagle player Evan Mathis peeing on the IRS sign in front of the IRS [...]

Hey, Rodgers!

Not quite sure that scream I heard coming from the direction of South Korea a little earlier was one of delight or disgust. Either way, get ready for more groans from the rest of the football world, notably the Chicago metro area.

“Green Bay, Wis., is home to the World Famous Green Bay Packers [...]

No Way! Way.

Epic has become so overused… even so… this save by minor league (Toronto Marlies) goalie Drew MacIntyre is epic.

Hubba Hubba Big Man: Draft Chat

 

I’m happy.  I love O-line guys (my all-time favorite NFL player was a center), and KC needs to bring back the glory days of Joe & Tim & Will & Willie.

How’s your team doing?  Andy Levy already tweeted his greatest fear:

I Went to a Hockey Game and Patriotism Broke Out

From last night’s Boston Bruins/Buffalo Sabres game… Hockey fans are notoriously disrespectful during the anthem… awesome.

R.I.P. — Pat Summerall

And yet another piece of my childhood passes by. Pat Summerall, former NFL kicker for the New York Giants and long time NFL broadcaster has died at age 82.

For many sports fans in the 1960s through the 1990s, Pat Summerall was the voice of the NFL, starting with CBS’ Sunday telecasts and later [...]

Thursday Open Thread

Pay attention kids… what we have here is that rarest of breeds… Chicago Cubs World Series champs! the winning infield which of course includes that fabled trio… (Joe) Tinker to (Johnny) Evers to (Frank) Chance…

These are the saddest of possible words: “Tinker to Evers to Chance.” Trio of bear cubs, and fleeter [...]

Dust in the Air

Kudos to the University of Nebraska Cornhuskers — this is a class act all the way. Be careful of that video it seems to irritate the eyes a tad

Nebraska held is annual Red-White Spring Game on Saturday and the star of the contest was a 7-year-old boy.

Jack Hoffman is a diehard Nebraska [...]

There is dust in the air here… you’ve been warned.

Weekend Five -- March Madness Edition

March Madness is upon us and in Wanks’ down time this weekend’s Five will be some of our favorite college sports moments. I’d say 5 NCAA basketball moments, but I don’t think I can muster 5 of those so we’ll broaden the topic to all of college athletics…

In no particular…

1. My [...]

Hall of Fame Hustler

NFL.com, glomming off of NCAA March Madness is having a “tournament” by which they hope to whittle down 64 all-time great plays down to the greatest play in NFL history. The list is here… One that jumped out at me… and which I’d forgotten about was Dallas Cowboys’ Offensive Tackle (now Hall of Famer) Larry [...]

This Never Gets Old

Kick Like A Girl

Lauren Silberman was hyped up as the first woman to try out for the NFL. She attempted two kicks at a regional NFL combine in New Jersey… sort of.

Lauren Silberman’s bid to make the NFL consisted of two kickoffs totaling 30 yards, an aggravation of a quadriceps injury she said she initially suffered [...]

Useless Idiot

Dennis Rodman puts the ASS in “ambassador”.

In his first interview since returning to the U.S. from an unprecedented visit to North Korea last week, former NBA star Dennis Rodman said he bears a message for President Obama from the country’s oppressive leader, Kim Jong Un.

“He wants Obama to do one thing: Call [...]

His Rule is Golden

Great moment…

**UPDATE: I found a CBS News video of the story…

Sunday Open Thread

33 years ago two days ago… perhaps the greatest sports moment on television, and I care not about hockey.

Flippin’ Awesome

Talk without speaking …

Thanks to the wonderful 21st century invention known as pausing and fast-forwarding through live TV, the Super Bowl blackout became a moot point. Instead, Chez Porvaznik wrapped up watching the recently purchased Led Zeppelin Celebration Day blu-ray which had been part of the pre-game festivities. As if we didn’t know we weren’t missing a [...]
