In sports, there’s a long-running argument that involves whether one team won a game, or the other team lost it. Now, unless that game featured some historically bad choke job or heroic effort, the answer usually lies somewhere in the middle. And yet, in the wake of last night’s Game 1 of the Eastern Conference […]
Part of what makes being a sports fan so fun is the acceptance that in our own way, we’re completely delusional about our teams.That fact is never more evident than at this week’s NFL Draft. And while you might think it’s an event filled with negativity based on what’s become an annual tradition of booing […]
We’re now firmly entrenched in the NFL off-season which means one thing: I’ve completely run out of shit to talk about. So to help spice things up around here, I’ve invited a special guest to discuss some the off-season’s more interesting stories and questions. Who is this mystery man you ask? Well that’s just the […]
Ever try a total bullshit trade in a sports video game like Madden just to see if the other team would say yes even though you knew they wouldn’t? Yeah, the Vikings hit ‘accept’ yesterday. If you haven’t heard the news, the Vikings did a very Vikings-like thing by hilariously trading away their all-world Wide […]
Ever since Billy Bean fired up the VORP machine back in the day, advanced metrics in sports have been all the rage. In basketball, it’s never more present than at last week’s MIT Sloan conference, an event in which a large group of NBA people gather to cover a variety of nerdgasmic statistical trends. It’s […]
If I told you this weekend I’d be watching amateurs with ‘loose hips’ and ‘ball skills’ you’d likely tell me I could get that stuff for free on the Internet. But what I’ll actually be watching are dudes running around in their underwear. Wait, this isn’t starting out any better is it? Let me explain: […]
The circumstances in which Reggie White and Charles Woodson came to Green Bay couldn’t have been any more different. One was hailed as a savior. The other in need of rescue. One the knight in shining armor. The other with cracks in not only his armor, but in his leg. One who spread faith. The […]
Here’s an unfortunate reality few people are willing to admit to. As you get older, watching sports can become somewhat of a burden. During the NFL season, I spend every weekend cursing the lack of time I have because my entire Sunday gets eaten up watching football and for the most part, being as lazy […]
Let’s face it, unless you’re a fan of one of the two teams playing this Sunday, the Super Bowl is really only an excuse for doing two things: 1.) Getting shitfaced. 2.) Eating an entire trough of taco dip. While both are fine reasons to celebrate the conclusion of the NFL season, the marathon nature […]
This past week, a couple of very famous athletes admitted to lying. And needless to say, there are a LOT of people butthurt over the two situations. So I guess my question is: Why? Obviously, the concept of lying in sports is nothing new. Hell, watch any press conference and you’ll see that today’s athletes […]
