The Weekend Hangover: New Jersey Brown Bagger Edition
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 [...]
Why Gilbert Arenas Needs Some Cell Time
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 [...]
Not Busting A Bracket Over The NCAA
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. Because this is serious stuff here folks, I’m not playing around on this Monday morning. It’s confession time folks.
I [...]
Five Inconceivable Moves From The NFL Offseason
Well, I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m sure enjoying the 2010 NFL offseason. Maybe it’s the lack of a salary cap, maybe Saturn is moving into orbit with some unknown planet, or perhaps Flozell Adams has finally eaten enough fried dough to shake the Earth from its axis – whatever it is, things [...]
Christopher Gasper Wants None Of Your Improvement Talk
If you happened to watch more than five minutes of the New England Patriots last season, then it was fairly easy to see something wasn’t quite right. Whether it was a lack of performance from a certain player (Adalius Thomas is a good bet to mention here), an entire position (the neverending barrel of suck [...]
Viva La Revolution!
Hey, here’s an interesting moment in life – Bud Selig had an idea that I find myself in agreement with. It’s an oddly peaceful and yet totally frightening moment, like being trapped in the wrong end of a darkened, dead-end alley with a looming shadow coming towards you… and then realizing it’s your grandmother. The [...]
The Free Agency Spending Spree So Far
Perhaps it’s all that malt liquor I drank back in college, but the NFL offseason has been damn interesting this year, hasn’t it? 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 [...]
The Continuing Isolation Of Bill Simmons
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 [...]
Michael Finley Is The Harbinger Of Doom
While I can’t claim to be an expert on the NBA along the lines of Bob Ryan or the folks at Ball Don’t Lie, I do happen to believe there are some signs blatantly obvious enough that even a hoops layman such as myself can see quite clearly. According to ESPN, the Celtics are interested [...]
The Weekend Hangover: Clearing Out Two Weeks Of Links Edition
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 sarcasm, market price. This [...]
