Lawrence Taylor Makes Himself More Guilty

Yesterday, Lawrence Taylor was sentenced to 6 years probation and was forced to register as a sex offender after being found guilty of ‘solicitation of sex from a minor.’ If you aren’t familiar with the story, LT was in New York last year and called up a friend in town to find a pimp so he could get his freak on. This pimp basically was abusing this poor 16 year old girl, forcing her into prostitution, and sent her to Taylor’s room. I’m not entirely clear on the outcome, but from what I’ve read, he did not engage in…

Everything is Going to be Fine with Chase Utley, Right?

Well, the 76ers have had the past few days off, so I’m like a frightened baby deer wandering through some recently developed suburban houses. I’m scared. Alone. Nothing is familiar to me anymore and car lights resemble burning flames that threaten my very existence. Just when I’m about to give up all hope, I’m presented with an alternative that seems strangely familiar and comforting. Baseball season is coming. Opening Day is 9 days from now. The hell that our pitching staff is about to bring will be unleashed, sending batters cowering to their hitting coaches searching for new “mechanics”…

We’ve decided to have a little wager here at theheadrush.com, and when I say little I mean it’s friggin tiny. $5 But it’s more than a monetary value! It’s about pride, respect, and utter humiliation!

Jumping On the Heat Hatewagon

Today is a perfect example of how fickle sports media can be. I haven’t like Lebron James since he deserted Cleveland, and although I was indifferent about Wade and Bosh, I don’t like what the new Miami Heat represent. Since their flashy entrance in the off-season, they’ve been a team portraying an image that hype and showmanship will get you success beyond your wildest dreams. Most cases it does, but it looks really dirty while doing it. Everyone was screaming at the top of their lungs, pulling their hair out, and throwing their cats from 2nd story buildings when…

March Madness, Sprinkled with Sixers Talk? Yes Please.

Bracketology. A science only few are familiar with and only the elite can master. Deciphering the strategies and match-ups of a 64 team tournament into one great spectacle, analysts around the horn are going to be on TV for the next 3 days speculating what players have enough “swagger” to lead them to Houston for the NCAA Championship. Before they can even get to that, arguments need to be made about what teams were left out, and which undeserving ones got in. When analysts on ESPN starting jabbering about which teams got robbed, arguing that bigger market teams were…

After The Thunder, Comes the Tears

Alright, so we didn’t win. We didn’t win. Ahhhhhhhhhhh that’s still taking some time to sink in. Up 5 points with 40 seconds to go, we were hanging with the OKC for the entire game, making shots, playing OK defense, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Kevin Durantula made an amazing 3 (which he got fouled on) to tie the game into overtime, and it was pretty much all downhill from there. But, I will reflect on some of the good things. I had the most amazing seats I’ve ever had in the history of sports ever. Front…

Before the Storm Comes the Thunder

Man, all these NCAA violations are getting me fired up. First, BYU suspends their second best player before the biggest national tournament because he got freaky in pre-marital sex, then today Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel gets suspended 2 games and a quarter million dollar fine for knowing about players selling their used uniforms for cash. It’s a god damn joke that players are intended to make absolutely no money the entire duration of their career at a college they help make millions of dollars. It’s a quarter million dollar joke that Jim Tressel is losing for…
