The Weekly Hangover is a gathering place for all the miscellaneous news, blog posts, and articles that were interesting and sports related, but yet not quite enough so for me to bother clambering down into my mother’s basement to write about. Served with a heaping helping of [...]

In news that shouldn’t surprise anyone, the prosecutors in the case of Gilbert Arenas vs. All Notions Of Common Sense (and the District of Columbia) are seeking jail time in connection with the felony weapons charges Agent Zero incurred when he brought some guns into the Wizards lockerroom for a little fun and games a [...]

Perhaps this will be the post that finally turns my meager readership off. The one that totally alienates me from the sporting world and turns me into a pariah in my own home and chosen profession.

There’s the confusion over who is a restricted free agent and who isn’t because of the uncapped year in 2010, the normal churning of rosters, the continuing and epic stupidity of the [...]

Whenever it comes time to lob some criticism in the direction of Bill Simmons (aka The Sports Guy, The Boston Sports Guy, The Guy Bloggers Love To Crap All Over), I feel this irresistible urge to trot out my standard disclaimer – that I appreciate what he’s done for sports writing, his unique perspective, and [...]

The Weekly Hangover is a gathering place for all the miscellaneous news, blog posts, and articles that were interesting and sports related, but yet not quite enough so for me to bother clambering down into my mother’s basement to write about.
