It’s Christmas Time!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.  You know why?  A.) Because it’s Christmas.  B.) Because it’s my birthday.  BOOM!  Double whammy. You know, every time that I tell someone I was born on Christmas, they give me this consolling face and they’re like, “Aw, I’m so sorry. You must get shorted on presents.”  And then I always have to explain that no, in fact, it was just the opposite because I am so very lucky to have a family that SPOILED ME ROTTEN with presents. It always makes me feel like a jerk, but hey, who the…

Jake Delhomme is Pushin’ Bojangles in Texas

It’s been a while since we’ve seen our friend Jake Delhomme. The Houston Texans, who desperately needed a quarterback, signed Jake Delhomme to their team in hopes of continuing their run towards the playoffs. It looks like Jake Delhomme just out-Palmered Carson Palmer. Delhomme has been sitting “in retirement” ever since the Browns released him in 2010, and now he gets to fall into a playoff bound team that’s practically guaranteed to win their division. The Tennessee Titans are way too inconsistent to capture and maintain a lead. The Jaguars just fired their head coach and are in the…

Only Santa Could Save the NBA

The players and owners have finally come to an agreement. A trivial agreement, mind you, but either way, pending a huge upset when the deal is brought to a vote, the NBA will begin it’s 66-game season on Christmas Day with a triple header. Epic. A couple things come to mind : 1) The players ended up with a 51.2% share of revenue. That’s still pretty friggin’ huge and I truly didn’t expect the owners to budge that much. Be content, you fuckers. 2) What’s going to happen with Odom who just signed with Besiktas, or better-yet, what’s going…

Farewell Hip-Hop…and the Entire NBA Season

1.) In perhaps the greatest move that they could’ve made, the 76ers new ownership decided to get rid of the much maligned mascot, Hip-Hop. You know how I am 100% positive that this was a good move? I read about it on the Yahoo! Blog post and there is currently one comment under the post.  That comment simply reads: “Good.” Exactly. Peace out freaky bunny. 2.) Speaking of the NBA, I’m going to have to totally disagree with my buddy Randy.  Not only can college basketball replace the NBA, it will, and for many, it already has. Compared to…

Week 11 NFL Picks : The Curse of Parlays

Did I say curse? I meant gift. Last week was the first time I’ve actually put my money where my mouth is and placed a bet on some of my NFL predictions (man, that’s a lot of past tense and present tense conflict there… but what am I supposed to say, put my money where my mouth was??) Coincidentally, last week was the first week I’ve ever actually won a 3-team parlay when betting on football. I probably bet at least 10 weeks last year and didn’t win a single one. This year, I’m 1/1, and it feels good….

The College Basketball Tip-off That Can’t Replace the NBA

I have a corporate desk job now, where I sit at a cubicle and a little bit of my soul dies every day. I’m not trying to complain, I’m really just trying to allude to the monotony of my life. During the week, it’s boring. Real boring. All I ask is that I can sit in front of the television and be entertained by sports to take me away from my mundane schedule. Football provides that escape on the weekend, but going into winter, that prime-time slot is looking sadder and sadder. Not a day after the NBA Players…

Blame the Media!

Oh jeez, as always, when a scandal breaks, it isn’t the fault of the people responsible.  It is the fault of the media. We have heroes and when these heroes make a mistake, it is tough to reconcile and so we blame the messenger. Never mind the fact that the messenger exists to report on facts, and the facts are sometimes hard to take. In the past week, we’ve had two instances of media bashing.  In the first, a presidential candidate blamed the media for all of his problems, even though it is a FACT that a $46,000 settlement…
