The Miami Heat: Tears for Fears

Pundits are pounding the Miami Heat today for not being able to close out games, for being worse than expected, for having a low temperature on the “heat index” and other such cringe worthy puns. But what is being lost in the shuffle here is that the Miami Heat’s biggest flaw isn’t that they don’t have a “clutch” shooter, or a “top banana” or whatever the hell that Simmonsism is, the main problem with the Heat is that they are a bunch of weird crying dudes. Seriously.  They cry after every game.  CRY!  Who the hell does that?  Do…

Obligatory Charlie Sheen Post

With all the Charlie Sheen hubabaloo going on, I tried to watch Two and a Half Men last night.  It was terrible.  I turned it off five minutes in.  How does this show make 2500000 gajillion dollars? Here’s the plot: Ducky has a hot receptionist, Charlie has to drive Ducky to work.  You can figure out the rest. Coincidentally, or not, G4 has been replaying the movie Hot Shots! A lot lately, and man oh man, is that movie…decent.  I always preferred Hot Shots! Part Deux myself. “War!  It’s FAAAAAANTASTIC!” Enough with the Sheen nonsense.  Have you guys heard…

Hockey…what the hell

I tried to watch hockey a few days ago with my friend Bob, and then I tried again last night.  And it just isn’t happening for me. Playoff hockey, I can get into that.  It’s crazy intense. But regular season hockey is just kinda…meh.  And last night, while watching the game, which the Flyers won 4-3 in OT, I finally discovered the main reason for my dislike of hockey: It is incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY stupid that the players can use their hands to knock down the puck and put it right in front of their sticks. That is how…

Al Davis Prints His Own Money

Well so much for owners being cheap skates who won’t spend any money on their players.  How about Mr. Al Davis?  Coughing up chunks of coin on the players he wants to keep.  This has GOT to piss off the rest of the NFL owners.  While they are scraping and clawing to cling to every last nickle that they’ve can squeeze out of their product and their players, Davis is saying, “Hey.  Stanford Routt.  Here’s 30 million dollahs.  Hey. Richard Seymour.  Here’s 30 million dollahs. Hey, Kamerion Wimbley, the NFL says that 4 million dollahs is too high of…

Finally the Rock HAS COME BACK…

What a way to start the morning.  Last night, I had an inkling that the “special guest host” of this year’s Wrestlemania would be none other than The Rock, but after falling asleep around 8:30, I had kinda forgotten all about it.  When the dog woke me up at 2 a.m., I thought about checking on-line to see if it turned out to be true, but I didn’t.  And boy oh boy am I glad because I would NOT have been able to get back to sleep. Not since Cliff Lee signed with the Phillies have I been so…

Super Bowl: Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down

The Super Bowl is over….football is over….it is now time to embrace the most hellish sports month the calendar has to offer: February (shudder). And thanks to greedy owners/a terrible union, we may never see football again until the year 2012. And by terrible union, I mean turrible.  The QBs hate the DBs, the DBs hate the O-linemen, the O-linemen hate the D-linemen, the D-linemen hate everybody, everybody has concussions that have turned their brains to scrambled eggs.  It’s just one weird sport where you have guys playing different positions who don’t like the guys who play the other…

1990 Royal Rumble LIVE BLOG!

Oh yeah!  Tomorrow night is the WWE’s Royal Rumble and so instead of spending 50 bucks to watch John Morrison win, setting up the inevitable Morrison vs. Miz Wrestlemania, I thought that I’d go back and watch a classic Royal Rumble.  Back when the hair was longer, the steroided muscles were bigger, and all was right with the world. Let’s get it on! We’re welcomed by a guy named Jack who says, “As always, Jack’s got your back!”  Baaaaad catch phrase, Jack. Oh yeah, this is going to be AWESOME!  We got Dusty Rhodes, Macho Man, Ultimate Warrior.  Can’t…
