Tebow Ran Out of the Jesus Juice

Awesome weekend of playoff football! The Saints/Niners game was certainly much more of a showdown than I expected. Nobody called Alex Smith pulling together a 2-minute game winning drive, but he did. God damn he did. Not even Alex Smith is sure how he did it. The Patriots took care of business as predicted, which leads me to the theory of the reverse-jinx double-jinx. Not many people are aware of such an illusive state of karma as the reverse-jinx double-jinx, but it applies very specifically to the Tebow/Pats game. The initial jinx would be Tebow being called a flop…

Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop. Sixers Talk, Sprinkled With NFL

Well… when they start sucking, I might stop talking about them, but how can I now? The 76ers are off to their best start in almost 10 years! With a record of (7-2), the Sixers lead the NBA in some of the most impressive categories for a team: Greatest points differential, points-per-game on the road, field-goal percentage, points-allowed, and we rank in the top 5 for every category worth considering. Some are quick to critique the small sample, to which I say, “Fuck you!”, but then follow up with, “That small sample size is still 15% of the season….

Week 17, the Week of Futility and Quigley.

Ahhhh, it was a tough Sunday wasn’t it? It’s hard to sit through football when there’s no fantasy implications or gambling taking place isn’t it? Just imagine if someone said, “Hey man, we’re going to watch baseball for 10 hours straight! It’ll be awesome!” Football was almost on that level. Watching the Eagles cruise over the Redskins was only fitting now that the season is over. It sure is a lot easier to get that W when there’s no spotlight on anyone. The Raiders had a chance to take the division after the Broncos defeat and whiffed. I wonder…

Slam Dunking on Some Reindeer

The winter solstice is upon us. Days are officially getting longer from here on out and I have to admit, after losing in not only our fantasy league, but in every other one, I’m about over football (until the playoffs start.) My Panthers have absolutely no chance of making it in this year, and the Eagles have the most minuscule of chances as well. I went 1 for 2 overall in parlays, but without gambling or fantasy to keep me involved, Sunday has become an excuse to just eat wings. Last weekend, I ate 35. You thought I was…

I’m A Leader At Last, This A Don You With

If my writing today could emulate one song, it would be the end of Nas’ “Made You Look” when the beat cuts out and he delivers line after line of ill lyrics that would make the average man vomit on themselves in sheer sickness. It will be fast and hollow, yet profound and everlasting. Here we go. It’s been a few weeks since I’ve been able to sit down and write, mostly because of my new employment that has me mentally drained by the end of the day. Not that there hasn’t been much to write about. The Phillies…

Jake Delhomme is Pushin’ Bojangles in Texas

It’s been a while since we’ve seen our friend Jake Delhomme. The Houston Texans, who desperately needed a quarterback, signed Jake Delhomme to their team in hopes of continuing their run towards the playoffs. It looks like Jake Delhomme just out-Palmered Carson Palmer. Delhomme has been sitting “in retirement” ever since the Browns released him in 2010, and now he gets to fall into a playoff bound team that’s practically guaranteed to win their division. The Tennessee Titans are way too inconsistent to capture and maintain a lead. The Jaguars just fired their head coach and are in the…

Only Santa Could Save the NBA

The players and owners have finally come to an agreement. A trivial agreement, mind you, but either way, pending a huge upset when the deal is brought to a vote, the NBA will begin it’s 66-game season on Christmas Day with a triple header. Epic. A couple things come to mind : 1) The players ended up with a 51.2% share of revenue. That’s still pretty friggin’ huge and I truly didn’t expect the owners to budge that much. Be content, you fuckers. 2) What’s going to happen with Odom who just signed with Besiktas, or better-yet, what’s going…
