Fist Pump Fridays: Promoting a Grenade-Free America
Sure, I was a little drunk during last night’s episode. Sure, I was only semi-conscious for most of the episode – not because it wasn’t entertaining but as a result of food coma. But yesterday was a solid episode featuring what would have been my high school year book quote if I do it all [...]

2. August 2010
The Knicks have made a number of offseason moves to begin building for the future. In signing Raymond Felton, they have added the best point guard of the free agent class and in signing Amare Stoudemire they have added an explosive scorer to pair with Felton. When you consider the other contracts that were thrown [...]

Jersey Shore is back. I’m a couple of bottles in…So sure why not have a live diary of the season premiere. Without further ado:

2. May 2010
It was dubbed the fight of the year – the fight that would be the biggest threat to Floyd Mayweather’s undefeated career. Instead, Saturday night just another walk in the park for the man who calls himself “Money.” We saw a different side of Mayweather, however, during his destruction of “Sugar” Shane Mosley. While [...]

30. April 2010
Time Magazine came out with their 100 Most Influential People list and it’s always a point of controversy among people who have nothing better to do with their time. So let me throw my hat in the ring. I have to qualify though that I’ll only be commenting on the sports figures since that’s my [...]

21. April 2010
Speed up the offense. Please. It’s painful to watch the Charlotte Bobcats execute on offense. Really. I’d rather watch the WNBA Draft. The halfcourt offense is anemic. I don’t understand why Larry Brown can’t speed it up a bit. They have a bunch of players who have been successful in more up-tempo systems.

13. April 2010
So you’ve all heard by now that Santonio Holmes has been traded to the New York Jets. On paper, it’s a great trade. Combined with all the other moves the team has made in the offseason, it makes the Jets the favorite in the AFC East and maybe in the entire conference. Holmes takes [...]

12. April 2010
For our first ever bet of the day, we’ll be going crazy: a four-team parlay in MLB. It’s real tough to pick winners this late in the season in the NBA so I wanted to stay away from those games. Keep in mind, I am a terrible better so proceed with caution: Game #1 – Washington [...]

What an amazing scene to watch on Sunday when Phil Mickelson embraced his wife Amy after winning the Masters. It’s tear-jerking moments like this one that makes sports the most compelling drama you’ll find on television. Sure, I love to watch my Tar Heels win, but watching Phil hugging his wife or Bob Huggins consoling [...]
