Ricky Williams Talks Concussions

This interview is Ricky Williams on Dan LeBatard’s Highly Questionable on May 15th. I had to admit, watching the 30 for 30 on Ricky Williams made me quite fond of this guy. I enjoyed hearing a different perspective on sports from a guy that realized he wasn’t, nor should be, in debt to it. After watching this interview, however, he’s definitely gone down a peg or two in my book. Trying to downplay the scientific research stating the link between concussions and football is mind-blowing. Yes, I understand you take more steps to “heal” yourself, Ricky, during the off-season,…

Always Finish Strong

The past week has had some incredible finishes. Let us review them, shall we? First, I’m going to jump back to the Sixer’s win over the Bulls to clinch the series. I couldn’t imagine a better finish. Our “star” player who’s struggled at the line all year completed two free-throws in the final seconds to win the game. I remember texting Adam during that time and saying something like, “If Iggy misses these….” Imagine if he did miss them. I’m pretty sure he would have been murdered ala Andres Escobar style when he returned to Philadelphia. It would have…

Dear Kyle Kendrick

You may be the antithesis of a ‘developing’ pitcher. For years, I have heard many an analyst say that you will one day emerge as a elite starting pitcher in the major leagues. Players have gotten your back, reporters, teammates, everyone defends you. This has probably been going on for six years. Not only have you not been improving, you’ve been getting worse. It’s remarkable that with how different our team looks compared to our 2008 World Series winning lineup, you have somehow managed to remain on the roster and retain Charlie Manuel’s stubborn faith that you will be…

It Doesn’t Matter If You Win by an Inch or a Mile….

Enjoy it while you can, New York, because you guys are going to lose to the Heat, one way or another. Seems like the only way the Knicks are capable of beating Miami is if Carmelo scores 40+ points. This isn’t going past 5 games. Cole Hamels admitted to intentionally drilling Bryce Harper in the 1st inning of last night’s game. I dig it. That Harper kid has done some awesome things in his major league debut (which… for all intensive purposes is a year-long debut), but there is always that chance that the adrenaline stops flowing and the…

Jrue Holiday is Selling his Jerseys at Modells

Shout out to Wolfman for letting us know. This is pure gold. The best part might be when Jrue thinks the little girl is looking for a “Holiday” jersey, but she really wants at Roy Halladay jersey.

On Some Real Talk

First off, I just want to introduce everyone to the changes I’m going to be making in the future. Since Adam and I both have a long history (and trophy collection) in Yahoo fantasy sports, I’m going to be putting in our Yahoo avatars and links to our trophy cases. Adam’s is much more impressive than mine, but he does like 800 leagues a season, so he’s bound to win some right? Jab. Second, I did not see the Sixers’ overtime win over the Pacers coming. Did you know that’s the first game we’ve won all season in overtime,…
