Naazim Richardson Saw a Side of Floyd Mayweather No One Else Did
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 [...]

11. April 2010
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 [...]

8. April 2010
A lot of people seem to think Tiger’s new Nike ad is controversial because it features his father, Earl’s, voice. I happen to think it’s genius. Wieden+Kennedy proves once again they are one of the best (if not the best) advertising companies out there. They obviously got Tiger’s consent to shoot the commercial and probably [...]
Continue reading...Final (Four) Predictions
18. March 2010
Finally, some predictions and my official Final Four predictions: 1. Siena will make the Elite Eight. Duke is in the easiest bracket but the Blue Devils will be upended in the Sweet 16 by the Saints. Good reigns over evil yet again. 2. UTEP will make the Sweet 16. UTEP actually has a lot of talent [...]
Continue reading...Lastly, a Look at the South
17. March 2010
Finally, the South… 1. #1 Duke Blue Devils v. #16 Arkansas-Pine Bluff Golden Lions – As much as I would love to hate on the dookies, my Heels are in the NIT so I won’t say anything. 2. #8 California Golden Bears v. #9 Louisville Cardinals – Cal is one of the more disappointing teams in the [...]
Continue reading...A Look at the West Region
17. March 2010
Now let’s look at the West Region. 1. #1 Syracuse Orange v. #16 Vermont Catamounts – Vermont lost to Binghamton this year. 2. #8 Gonzaga Bulldogs v. #9 Florida State Seminoles – Interestingly enough, the Zags are the underdogs despite being the higher seed. I suppose that’s what happens when you sell out big time in the [...]
