Headrush: Where you Been?

Why did I reference a Sinbad comedy special in the title? Oh I dunno maybe because he is THE MAN.  Also, he is playing at the Wilmington Grand Opera House in January.  He played last fall I think and I missed him then so I may have to see him this time around. My favorite Sinbad story is that Randy was watching him on TV when he used to work at Frolic and some guy walked in, bought something, stared at the TV wordlessly for ten seconds before exclaiming: “Man…Sinbad’s CORNY!”  Indeed. 1.) So, what’s new in the NFL? …

It’s Christmas Time!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  You know why?  A.) Because it’s Christmas.  B.) Because it’s my birthday.  BOOM!  Double whammy. You know, every time that I tell someone I was born on Christmas, they give me this consolling face and they’re like, “Aw, I’m so sorry. You must get shorted on presents.”  And then I always have to explain that no, in fact, it was just the opposite because I am so very lucky to have a family that SPOILED ME ROTTEN with presents. It always makes me feel like a jerk, but hey, who the…

Farewell Hip-Hop…and the Entire NBA Season

1.) In perhaps the greatest move that they could’ve made, the 76ers new ownership decided to get rid of the much maligned mascot, Hip-Hop. You know how I am 100% positive that this was a good move? I read about it on the Yahoo! Blog post and there is currently one comment under the post.  That comment simply reads: “Good.” Exactly. Peace out freaky bunny. 2.) Speaking of the NBA, I’m going to have to totally disagree with my buddy Randy.  Not only can college basketball replace the NBA, it will, and for many, it already has. Compared to…

Blame the Media!

Oh jeez, as always, when a scandal breaks, it isn’t the fault of the people responsible.  It is the fault of the media. We have heroes and when these heroes make a mistake, it is tough to reconcile and so we blame the messenger. Never mind the fact that the messenger exists to report on facts, and the facts are sometimes hard to take. In the past week, we’ve had two instances of media bashing.  In the first, a presidential candidate blamed the media for all of his problems, even though it is a FACT that a $46,000 settlement…

Great Rebounds in Cinematic History

1.) I watched “That Thing You Do” last weekend and even though it basically devoles into a skin-a-max movie in the last 5 minutes–Guy and Faye walk back into the hotel after making out on the street, and Guy says to Lemar, the magical hotel bell boy who loves his job (or does he own the hotel? He does call it “My hotel” but what hotel owner would also work as a bell boy?) “Watch my bags Lemar…”  Lemar smiles creepily into the camera and says, “That’s what I do!”–End of movie. So that’s what Lemar does? Watch people’s…

Tebow Anxiety

Damn you, Tim Tebow!  Damn you straight to hell!  It’s Sunday morning, 9:25 a.m. and I can either start Tebow against the Lions D (who I own) or I can start Matt Schaub against the Jags. I’ve wanted to go with Schaub all week, but now, here I sit, seriously considering putting in Tebow.  Why? Cause the man put up like 25 pts in 2 minutes last week!  Sure he sucked for the whole game, but he has the potential to be fantasy gold int he 4th quarter. So you sit and bitch for 3 quarters about how terrible…

Sunday Morning…The Calm Before the Storm

Alrighty, I’ve been slacking with the posts lately, so I thought I would do one on this glorious Sunday morning cause there’s been a few things on my mind. Let’s get right to it, shall we? 1.) Note to NBA players and owners: Nobody even remotely cares that you’re not playing basketball. Look, I love watching and talking about the Sixers, but I can live without them.  You know why?  Cause there is still college basketball to be played where the action is faster, there are more exciting turnovers and the players actually give a shit. NBA, you could…
