Young and the Rest(less)
- #1 Alabama v. #2 Texas – not taking anything away from the other undefeated teams (TCU, Cincinnati) I think the BCS did get it right by pitting these two teams against each other. I know I can’t wait for the Shipley/Arenas matchup on the outside. Interesting fact: Other than LSU’s Justin Vincent in 2004, no [...]

So I decided in a previous post, that if I was going to Vegas, one of the three athletes I’d bring is Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher, Ross Ohlendorf, based on the notion that for a Vegas trip, you need a “brains of the operation” type person. Apparently, someone else thinks having a that type of person [...]

Let me be real clear before I go any further. Quite frankly, it’s getting harder and harder to vouch for Allen Iverson. I’ve defended him throughout his career. He rejuvenated basketball in Philadelphia but throughout his time in the “City of Brotherly Love” the fans didn’t show him enough of it. They ragged on him [...]

PROJECTED RECORD: 30-52 MOST IMPORTANT PLAYER: OJ Mayo PLAYER TO WATCH: Allen Iverson STRENGTHS: Youth, Athleticism, Scoring WEAKNESSES: Youth, Defense Before Allen Iverson was a Grizzly, the “veteran leader” on the team was Zach Randolph. If that doesn’t give you a good idea of the predicament the Memphis Grizzlies have put themselves in, I really don’t know what [...]

It'd be shocking to the Pine Time Player (and to many others) if Junior was on 'roids.

HOW DARE YOU to everyone who even thinks Michael Vick should not be reinstated immediately. Look, by no means am I saying that dogfighting is acceptable. It’s not, and that’s why Vick has spent the last 23 months repaying his debt to society. How then, can the NFL or anyone else POSSIBLY say that he [...]

I now know how people felt when Mickey Mantle retired from baseball. How comic book fans felt when Doomsday killed Superman. How wrestling fans felt when Hogan turned to nWo. It’s the same as how I feel when I think about the Allen Iverson situation in the NBA. It’s as though Hogan (the NBA) came [...]

For your selection of Maria Sharapova to the Vegas trip. Really Pinesol?? “Bringing sand to the beach”? Why on God’s green Earth would you bring Maria on a road trip to Vegas? I don’t know about you, but a trip to a place where partying, gambling, and fornicating are not only allowed but heavily encouraged, [...]

As I walked to the train station, I couldn’t help but notice a blind man making his way across the street. He had a little hop to his step while sipping on Eminem’s beverage of choice. Soon I realized, he’d probably need all the caffeine in that Mountain Dew. As I got to the steps [...]
