A Bear Walks into a Press Conference Wearing a Fedora…

Good morning folks.  Last week I went 3-1 in my NFL Picks and 2-2 against the spread.  So I’m feeling a little confident, I know that my first year doing this for the headrush, I went 0-4.  How embarrassing!  Speaking of embarrassing, Big Ben’s hat. What the heck was he thinking?  And how come no teammate came up to him and said “Hey, Ben, I know that you REALLY want to wear that hat, but it kinda makes you look like A.) A villain in Robocop 2 B.) A backup dancer for Chris Brown C.) A Grizzly bear wearing…

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….

Wildcard Bitches!

Alrighty then!  The NFL was fun while it lasted but now it’s time to get down to business. No more slogging through terrible Jets games or being stuck watching the Browns and the Bills.  Now it’s only the big boys so let’s get the picks, shall we? Denver +8.5 over the Steelers.  As a matter of fact, I am going to go out a limb and say that Denver just flat out BEATS the Steelers. Look, I watched the Steelers play the Browns last week and they looked turrible!  I know the Donkeys did too, but still, I just…

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…

Headrush: Where you Been?

Why did I reference a Sinbad comedy special in the title? Oh I dunno maybe because he is THE MAN.  Also, he is playing at the Wilmington Grand Opera House in January.  He played last fall I think and I missed him then so I may have to see him this time around. My favorite Sinbad story is that Randy was watching him on TV when he used to work at Frolic and some guy walked in, bought something, stared at the TV wordlessly for ten seconds before exclaiming: “Man…Sinbad’s CORNY!”  Indeed. 1.) So, what’s new in the NFL? …

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…
