Yo Magic, Where Are the Sixers??

How about that? I write about the 76ers and they don’t lose. Remarkable. Perhaps, I dipped into a little bit of my reverse-jinx superstitions. The win against the Orlando Magic, however, was ugly. Like real ugly. With about 4 minutes to go, the Sixers let their 15 point lead dwindle down to about 4 and it made the game much closer than it should have been. This was against the Magic’s second stringers! Doug Collins was furious, as he should have been. The Sixers defense held the Magic to a mere 69 points, allowing only 9 in the 3rd…

You Down With MVPs? Yea, You Know Me

Did anybody see the Pro-Bowl?? Nope? Yea… well, neither did I. Who cares, amiright? Watching a bunch of athletes give it 70% isn’t really the best option available for television. I’ll give it to the NFL, they’ve climbed to alpha-male in regards to sports entertainment, but that comes with the cost of having a depleted “All-Star Game” every year that becomes more and more of a joke to the players and fans. Some players drop out, others just don’t show, and every staff member on the coaching team bites his nails anxiously while they watch. There’s too much money…

Liam Neeson: A Wolf Would Destroy You

1.) I know that I am probably going to get destroyed for saying this, but I’m getting a little sick of Liam Neeson’s attempt at being an action star.  You know why?  Cause the guy looks out of shape!  In fact, I bet Liam Neeson couldn’t even finish a 5K. After that movie, Taken, I’ve heard people say things like, “Liam Neeson is BADASS!”  To that I say, “No…no he isn’t.” In this new movie, The Grey, Neeson has to take out a pack of angry wolves.  I’m sure that Neeson will win in the movie, but do you…

Half-Assed Cat Makes a Stink

I know I picked the Niners/Pats Superbowl, but who could honestly account for Kyle Williams giving the New York Giants 10 points? Poor kid. Same thing with Billy Cundiff. I remember seeing the Ravens line up to go for it on 4th and 6 instead of attempting a ~55 yard field goal for the tie, not knowing if they’d get possession again or not, and being very puzzled by this. Then, CBS ran a stat that said something like, “Billy Cundiff, since 2006, in 50+ yard field goals, 1/10.” Yep. That makes sense. But then to watch him hook…

Take…Take me Home

1.) I put that song “Home” by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on a mixtape that I made recently and I have to say, I do not regret the decision one bit.  Holy cow, what an underrated song.  It has an abundance of unintentional comedy. I mean, it’s a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song with freakin’ Phil Collins for crying out loud. According to Wikipedia, the group got so much positive feedback from the song (in the U.K., not the U.S.) that they decided to name Phil Collins an honorary member of the group with the moniker “Chrome Bone.” Gangsta. Now, with all that…

His Edge Is Back, He’s Right on Track

Well haven’t I learned my lesson? I mockingly decided to post something about the 76ers a few days ago during their 9-0 home win streak. I say mockingly because the last time the Sixers were on a streak this season, I published something and that very evening they lost. I mentioned this during the second post and then it happened again! My posts are killing the Sixers’ streaks! Should I just never post about them again?? Does this count as a post about them now?? This vexes me… I’m terribly vexed. As promised, I will deliver this week’s conference…

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…
