About the NBA

I hate to be the 10000000000th person online to compare the NBA to the WWE, but come on. They’re making it really hard not to. Last night, the Hornets, who the NBA still owns until July, won the first overall pick in the NBA Draft. Shocking. This isn’t just a little bit fishy, this is like when Vince McMahon won the Royal Rumble. Nobody thought, ‘How did that happen?’ Everyone thought, ‘Oh yeah, he owns the company, he can do whatever he wants.’ That’s what the NBA has become. And that’s why, well, it kinda sucks. It should be…

What You Should Be Listening To, Right Now.

It was a good run Sixers. The season ended in dramatic fashion, and I’ll stand by my statement after Game 6 of the series, “Even if the Sixers lose, I’ll be happy with their effort, and this season.” It still holds true. Game 7 went about exactly how I predicted, but none the less, I still feel satisfied. Going toe to toe with the Boston Celtics and beating the Bulls can both be viewed as accomplishments, and should be. With the Flyers out, the Sixers out, and the Phillies imploding, there isn’t much that I really feel like discussing…

Avengers….ASSEMBLE!

I’ll try my best to keep this spoiler free, but in all reviews, it’s kind of tough to not give away some aspects of the movie.  So if you haven’t seen the Avengers yet, you may want to wait until reading this. I saw the Avengers on Wednesday and it certainly lived up to the hype.  But before we get into that, let me just say, if you live in the Newark area, I highly recommend going to see a movie at Newark Cinema Center 3 in the Newark Shopping Center as opposed to Regal People’s Plaza Cinema 17. …

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,…

McNabb Frolics in the Ocean

You know, it gets kind of hard to write these posts sometimes. There’s only so much to talk about on a weekly basis.  And I’m lazy. But every once in awhile, a video comes along that changes EVERYTHING!  This week, that video came as I was listening to Dave Dameshek’s superb NFL.com podcast (for those of you who have never heard Dameshek, do yourself a favor and give him a listen. High comedy). If you haven’t seen the video, just follow this link. (Again, too lazy to imbed but maybe Randy will after I post this). The highlights of…

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…
