He Got the Shaft

Brick Tamland was found playing golf in Texas the other day. That’s the only explanation for a man who nearly died when he was stabbed with a golf club during a golf course brawl. From The Fort Worth Star-Telegram:

One man was stabbed with a golf club shaft after a brawl broke out when [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Super Bowl Edition

To ensure domestic tranquility, not to mention Belichick/Brady envy mixed with disdain (please lighten up, Francises!), it’s a “Go, Giants!” kinda day. Still, considering the potential bump to recruiting it’ll do to have Penn State Head Coach Bill O’Brien as Super Bowl Champion Offensive Coordinator on his resume, won’t be too heartbroken if the [...]

Sunday Open Thread

Staystrong

The Feds have dropped their doping investigation against Lance Armstrong.

http://yhoo.it/wEM7io

I’m of two minds on both the man and the case.

I firmly believe in the presumption of innocence and know that many of his accusers are liars, rent-seekers, or both. He’s also not given a dirty test. How do I know? The [...]

Manning Up

Breaking sports news video. MLB, NFL, NBA, NHL highlights and more.

NBCSports Channel had a great two hour townhall meeting hosted by Bob Costas (part of a show called “Costas Tonight”) on the state of the NFL. They talked a [...]

Black Ajax

The above lithograph, by Theodore Gericault in 1818 is called The Boxers. It depicts the December 1810 fight between English champion Tom Cribb versus freed American slave Tom Molineaux. How well known was it? Both boxers are in the Boxing Hall of Fame and it was well known enough to capture the imagination of [...]

Como Se Dice “Holy Crap!” en Slovakian?

a little too much snow on the roof — not a good thing.

Phil Knight = the man!

Relax, ladies, you don't have to squint too hard for the Nike logo.

The facts were always there, folks, and a huge show of appreciation to Phil Knight for distinctly remembering of them. While an adidas man, I am now doing my damnedest to find at least one pair of Nikes which will accommodate [...]

A Hochuli Haiku

Sports Illustrated‘s Joe Posnanski has a little fun with our favorite long-winded referee:

NFL Referee Ed Hochuli’s 57-second explanation of the new NFL overtime rules … in verse.

With the score tied at the end of regulation we will go into overtime

There are special overtime rules in the playoffs

Both teams get an opportunity [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Championship Game Edition

49ers v. Giants and Patriots v. Ravens… I have no dog in this fight though I’m thinking 49ers and Patriots will win.

3D Weekend Five: Rival Me This, Batman

Championship games tomorrow; BCS come and gone; March Madness looms…

Yeah, sports are on the brain.  And almost as fun (and certainly less nerve-wracking) as rooting for your favorites is rooting AGAINST the ones you scorn, despise, curse, etc.

Without getting nasty! name the sporting ones you love to hate.

5.  Yankees: Of course.

4. [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Sunday Divisional Playoffs

Both games should be good today… the Giants have a real good shot to beat the Packers if the Pack defense doesn’t show up. I’m rooting for the Texans to bring home the trophy to Houston and somewhat redeem Bud Adams’ sorry ass. Nothing but a Lombardi Trophy will erase the knowledge that Mike [...]

Are You Ready For Some Football — Divisional Playoffs

Broncos and Patriots play tonight preceded by the 49ers and Saints. Both could be classics or blowouts — but so can every game in the playoffs.

I Believe!

Check this article about Tim Tebow out and if you aren’t bawling like a baby at the end of it, you have no heart.

Who among us is this selfless? Every week, Tebow picks out someone who is suffering, or who is dying, or who is injured. He flies these people and their families to [...]

Not So Naughty, Naughty

A few cheesy lines in John Parr’s Tim Tebow-inspired re-make of his #1 hit “St. Elmo’s Fire (Man in Motion)”? Well, not even “Weird Al” hits a home run every time and nowhere near as many clunky lines as in the movie where it originally appeared. Frikkin’ super-genius compared to Prince’s ode to the Minnesota [...]

End-of-the-Year Hubba/SportsTalk: Mike Greenberg

Because first I loved his voice.  Then I loved his wit.   Then I saw him, live.  Then I just loved him.

Because now two of my favorite sports guys are New York Jets fans (Joe Queenan’s the other), and I admire such dogged devotion in the face of…well, the Jets.

Because Mike & Mike, the morning [...]

Monday Morning Quarterback — Tim Tebow Edition

I normally avoid all things ESPN (not college football or basketball — or Monday Night Football if the Cowboys are playing) like the Plague, but the website Grantland is one exception. Anyway… Bill Barnwell has a good breakdown of Tim Tebow’s outstanding performance against the Steelers yesterday — and a bit of crow eating [...]

Skip Bayless’ Head Will Explode: Wild Card Thread

This is the only time you will ever see me root for the Denver Donks.  (Until the next time they play the Raiders.)  Headline refers to what will happen if Tebow pulls this one out — which is just the cherry on the cake of my weekend.

 

You See, It’s Like This…

ESPN and USA Today are both reporting (which means ESPN probably stole the story from some local blog) that Penn State has hired New England patriots Offensive Coordinator Bill O’Brien as its next head football coach. Nittany Lions nation is apparently up in arms that someone without ties to PSU was hired.

Bill O’Brien [...]

Douche-Bagadelphia the next chapter

The stories of asshole Philly fans are legion, here’s another one…

From Jammie Wearing Fools

Stay Classy, Philly Fans Posted by Jammie on Jan 05, 2012 at 8:19 am

They never could handle defeat. I’m sure these thugs will feel proud knowing they pummeled an off-duty cop and Iraq Marine veteran.

Stay classy, Flyers [...]
