Anger

Look, I know I’m biased.  I’m a Sixers fan and I hate the Heat.  But yesterday’s game was one of the most disheartening, outrageous sports scenes that I have seen in quite some time. When I tuned into the game, it was the second quarter and the Sixers were up by double digits.  Then what happened?  The Sixers offense went cold thanks to Miami’s zone (conceded) and then the Heat’s next 6 possessions went like this: foul, foul, foul, foul, foul…foul. I left them room at one point, pissed off at a bad call that sent a Heat player…

Random Thoughts

1.) My fiance and I watched Mystic River on Tuesday and one thing that has always bugged me about that movie is Sean Penn’s glasses.  What the hell?  Look at those things.  This guy is supposed to be some badass and yet he walks around with Grandpa glasses.  I mean…look, if I saw the guy on the street, I wouldn’t say anything to him about them, and I guess that means they’re badass, but…come on. He looks ridiculous!  The ending of that movie is very unintentionally funny, as is any scene in which Penn wears those shades. Penn: “Look,…

Random Shallow Thoughts

“To me, clowns aren’t funny. In fact, they’re kinda scary. I’ve wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad” –Jack Handey     Get it, deep thoughts…shallow thoughts?  Clever Thoughts Number One: That NCAA tournament sucked.  The final four was terrible (bitter cause UK lost), UCONN are a bunch of snitchess and Kemba Walker isn’t that good. I’d rather watch back to back to back episodes of John from Cincinnati than have to look at that final match-up again. Number Two: The Phillies…

Wrestlemania 27 Preview

The biggest event in sports entertainment is taking place this Sunday, and with March Madness happening on Saturday (as well Theheadrush fantasy baseball draft on Sunday morning), this is gonna be one helluva weekend! Now in for the sake of full disclosure let’s get a couple of things clear: 1.) I actually don’t get to watch all that much wrestling, but rather, I read all the write-ups of what happened the day after.  The reason?  I go to sleep every night around 9 (sad. true.). 2.) I am a huge Rock supporter.  In fact, he’s the reason that i…

Barry Bonds Didn’t Use Steroids

Just kidding.  He did.  We all know this.  So why is ESPN covering this trial like it’s the biggest thing since OJ? Because it has people talking!  Because you’re writing about it!  So it’s obviously news-worthy! No it’s not.  Everyone knows that Bonds took steroids.  End of story. Does he still own the homerun record?  Yes.  Is it a shame?  Probably.  Should he be stripped of the title?  No.  Were the pitchers he was facing doing steroids?  Yes.  Will I stop asking questions like this?  Yes. Let’s move on.  In the meantime, why don’t you do yourself a favor…

A Moment of Appreciation for the Second Ref

Last night was “game night” aka Holy Balls board games are fun, we’re in our mid-20’s and don’t want to get blitzed every night anymore, let’s play some Catchphrase! Anyway, in the midst of this, the Pitt/Butler game was on TV. I couldn’t hear what was happening with all the Rick Astley blaring in the background, but I could see what was going on, and it pissed me off. Butler is up by 1 with 3 seconds left.  Pitt in bounded the ball, Pitt guy catches it, heaves up a desperation half court shot. Refs call a foul. Huh?…
