The NBA Playoffs are Nuts

The Atlanta Hawks could play the Memphis Grizzlies for the NBA Championship.  Wow. So what happened?  Why did everyone seem to age 40 years in 20 days?  Kobe looked terrible and his team is now gone but they’ll be back next year when they get Dwight Howard so never fear Lakers fans!  Up until Game 3, the Celtics looked old until Wade tackled Rondo and it seemed to wake them all up at least momentarily. Lebron is sporting the hairline of a 50 year old man.  But that isn’t even the scariest thing about these playoffs. You know who…

RAUUUUUUUUL and the Juice

Ok, I’m not saying that Raul Ibanez takes steroids…. because he doesn’t. In fact, when he joined the Phillies in 2009 and had that stellar first half of the season, accusations were flying that Ibanez was juicing to revive his career and Raul took great offense to it. He’s never tested dirty. But since then, Raul has been slumping through 2.5 seasons riddled with injuries and horrible at-bats. The “RAUUUUUUL’s” quickly turned to “BOOOOOOs” this season during his 0/31 slump. His offensive production hasn’t really been the same since returning from that 2009 All-Star Break injury. This year he’s…

Ya’ll Wanna Talk About Flyers Hockey??

Yep. I guess I do. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m an absolute amateur when it comes to hockey. I barely know the Flyers roster, let alone all 30 teams in the NHL. But, it’s playoff time, and some things are standing out to me that I gotta talk about. The Flyers are down 2-0 right now to the Boston Bruins in the 2nd round of the playoffs. Yes, this is a lot like last year. We are in the same round of the playoffs, playing the exact same team, and digging ourselves almost the exact same…

Phillies and Fans React To Osama Bin Laden Death (UPDATE)

The Phillies game from last night against the Mets is getting more coverage than usual on a national level because of the chants that broke out during the game. Fans attending Citizens Bank Park last night started a “U-S-A” chant when learning of the news that Osama Bin Laden had been killed. You could watch as the news spread throughout the stadium and the cheers grew louder. Players soon learned after. Here is video of the players’ reactions post-game. Provided by CSNphilly.com Update : Ok… either CSN did a switcharoo on me or I just grabbed the wrong vid…

Random Thoughts: Post First Round Edition

This draft seemed like it was one of the crappiest in recent memory.  Who are these guys?  They all look like they are 13 years old and none of them look particularly dominant in the high light videos that they showed. Case in point: The ATL Falcons traded next years first and a bunch of other picks to trade up and grab Julio Jones.  After they did, the first video ESPN showed was Julio Jones dropping a ton of easy passes.  Then this morning, a Yahoo columnist declares the Falcons winners for taking him.  Wait…what? The Falcons did a…

Random Thoughts: Pre-Draft Edition

1.) The Sixers put up a good fight, but the Heat just had too much talent. You know, for a team that shot 57 more free throws in the series, the Heat sure do whine and complain a lot.  Also, I meant to comment on this last week but forgot.  I watched an interview with Wade where he talked about his mother being a drug dealer and at one point he said something like, “When I was three, cops burst into my house and one put his gun to the back of my head and said, ‘Where’s your mother?’”…

76ers Toughest Test of the Year

Well the Flyers won yesterday, advancing to the 2nd round of the playoffs. The Sixers… well… they have a lot more work cut out for them if they hope to reach the same accomplishment. Last Sunday, the Sixers were able to something they haven’t done all year… beat the Miami Heat. Tonight, Philly fans are hoping they accomplish another goal not yet achieved… win in Miami. If they do win tonight, the flood gates will open up. The lashing the Heat received from the media after their Game 4 loss probably irritated them, so if Philadelphia actually does manage…
