Wherefore Art Thou Bulldogs?

That stung. I can’t remember a loss hurting this bad since the…gulp…Tuck Rule! And man oh man, in both cases did the referees play an integral role in the outcome. Now, before I go any further, I want to make one thing abundantly clear: The referees did not lose the game for UNCA. UNCA lost the game for a number of reasons, and while it’s all too easy to blame the refs for this one, they weren’t the sole reason the bulldogs lost. They were a reason, however, and that can’t be ignored. A little background. For those of…

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…

To the Pain!

1.) About a month ago, maybe more, my cousin Bryan suggested that I check out a show called “Full Metal Jousting.” Now, at the time, I was in the middle of moving into a new house and didn’t really have the time to check it out.  This week, however, I had the time and let me tell you something: Full Metal Jousting is AWESOME! The unintentional comedy runs high and the production value looks like it is through the roof. These guys don’t put on armor like you’re use to seeing in museums, they put on armor that makes…

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…

25 of You Ain’t Coming Back!

1.) Stef and I watched the Oscar Red Carpet last Sunday and instantly witnessed a classic Oscar moment. No, I am not talking about Ali G pouring ashes all over Ryan Seacrest, I am talking about Viola Davis showing up to the Red Carpet with Mr. Payne, the teacher from Dazed and Confused! Mr. Payne, whose real name is Julius Tennon, is married to Davis and I couldn’t believe how crazy it was to see him standing next to Ryan Seacrest.  I kept waiting for him to take the mic from Seacrest and say, “Ryan, it’s like our Sergeant…

USA Defeats Italy: An Analysis

Preface: In addition to writing for TheHeadrush, I also coach high school soccer in the fall and really, really love it. Breaking down and analyzing soccer games is one of my favorite things to do come the fall, so when I watched yesterday’s match between the USA and Italy, I took some notes in order to write a column analyzing the game. Here is what I came up with… The USA defeated Italy yesterday (USA! USA!) and I thought that I would give some thoughts on just how it was done from a strategic stand point (or at least,…

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…
