I’m Older Than Every Baseball Player, Except Jamie Moyer

Sixers. Ugggggghhh. Phillies. Blehhhhhh. Flyers. OHHHH YEEAAAAAAHHH!!! The Flyers have single-handedly revived my interest in hockey and my hate in the Penguins. The last 3 games have been epic. All high scoring. Lotta hits. Keep em coming. It’s pretty nuts how the Flyers basically put the magnifying glass on Sidney Crosby and probably ruined his reputation for the rest of his career. Asham got suspended for 4 games and Neal got suspended for 1. I’d say your Stanley Cup aspirations are over, Pittsburgh. The Phillies aren’t really winning me over, that’s for sure. I know Ty Wigginton had a…

The King of the Losers

And the winner of this year’s NCAA March Madness Bracket is….. DRUMROLL….. MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! That’s right, folks. Ya boy took it down. The name of my bracket? A very simple, ‘Randy – The NBA is better.’ I wish I could describe some of my strategy, but to be quite honest, there wasn’t any. I spend the first round picking the higher seeds, then, I just started randomly promoting teams to the next round with no rhyme or reason. Before the tournament, the big buzz was that Kentucky was favored to be the champion, so that’s who I picked. And people…

Parents Just Don’t Understand

Dang, Jodie Meeks!! To be honest, I totally didn’t think you had it in you to score 31 points in a game. You probably never will again, either, but it was still pretty cool. You know what would’ve been even cooler? Doing that against a team with a real defense. Lately, all I’ve been hearing from the Sixers is “We want to win the Atlantic Division, that is our goal.” Well, that’s great, except setting a goal that stops right before the playoffs doesn’t necessarily get you a prize at the end of the day. I know a lot…

Peyton Manning Ends up a Bronco, Del Donne a Phenom

After all the woo, all the hype, Peyton Manning has decided to end up in Denver for, most likely, the rest of his career. I guess John Elway did it for him, because I have to think that the receivers didn’t. Who on Earth is Peyton Manning going to throw to? Eric Decker?? Note to self : Draft Eric Decker in first round, win entire Fantasy Championship. I’m not sure why he chose Denver of all places, but the real question is: What is going to happen to poor Tebow? Poooooooor Tebow! Let the scrutiny and speculation begin. I’ll…

March Madness, Peyton’s Decision, Brandon Marshall’s Left Hook

Dwight Howard…. come on man. I don’t even think Lebron James free agency rumors lasted this long when he was in Cleveland. Basically, last night after the Magic won their 3rd game in a row against top seeds in the East, Howard finally addressed the trade deadline that’s looming by saying that “he will remain with the Magic til the end of the season.” Well what about next season? What about last season? You’re telling me that this whole soap opera was for nothing and will only continue? Dwight Howard has basically pinned the Orlando Magic into a position…

Better Than Nothing

It’s been a busy week, so I will give you my shortest piece yet, “Better Than Nothing.” Haha, that title alone must captivate you into reading further. Well, whatever, I GOT A REAL JOB! Sixers, what is there to be said? We’re back into a crappy slump. The Bulls game was another nail-biter that ended up being pulled from under us. You never want to put yourself in a situation where a 3-pointer is sending you into OT, but if you are stuck with that route, why not have a good 3-pointer shooter take it? Iguodala put up 2…

The Best All-Star Weekend Recap

It’s hard to believe that last week, I remember saying to myself, “This All-Star Weekend is going to be pretty bland and I’m not going to have much to write about.” How dumb was I? There’s fodder! Fodder abound! This might have been the most fodderous All-Star Weekend yet! (Yes, fodderous is a word. Look it up.) Are you back from looking up that word that doesn’t exist? Ok, great. First things first, the Celebrity All-Star Game on Friday was a disaaaaaaaaster. It struck me as odd that Common and J. Cole were both pretty awful at basketball. Common…
