It All Looks Downhill From Here

Ugh. My first pessimistic 76ers post in 4 months. It’s right before playoff time and things could possibly be in turmoil. Lou Williams, arguably the heart and soul of the Sixers locker room, is out for the foreseeable future with a hamstring injury. After an MRI on Sunday, it was reported that his injury was more serious than initially assessed and no one has given a time frame for his return. In response to the injury, the 76ers signed this guy, Antonio Daniels. Don’t know who he is? Most people don’t. But he’s been an NBA player on 7…

Start the Season with a Sweep

It’s been a great start so far. The Phillies swept the Astros in a 3 game series this weekend, Domonic Brown had a very encouraging walk off HR after a 2 run 9th inning rally opening day, and all our pitchers looked incredible, as they should. The offense that everyone worried to be too old still managed to drive in plenty of runs. Somehow… things are right with the universe. But let’s not get too carried away. It was the Astros, and there’s still 159 games left. We finished up the 2011 fantasy baseball draft yesterday. I’m happy with…

Wrestlemania 27 Preview

The biggest event in sports entertainment is taking place this Sunday, and with March Madness happening on Saturday (as well Theheadrush fantasy baseball draft on Sunday morning), this is gonna be one helluva weekend! Now in for the sake of full disclosure let’s get a couple of things clear: 1.) I actually don’t get to watch all that much wrestling, but rather, I read all the write-ups of what happened the day after.  The reason?  I go to sleep every night around 9 (sad. true.). 2.) I am a huge Rock supporter.  In fact, he’s the reason that i…

Bring the King. Off With His Head!!

Well, it’s Friday. 6 days to go until opening day, and things have gotten worse. Chase Utley has officially been moved to the DL, Brad Lidge has been moved to the DL, Cole Hamels got lit up yesterday, Roy Oswalt got beaned in the head with a ball and is recovering…. It wouldn’t be a typical Phillies season without some drama. The Braves look amazing, and although people have been doing nothing but talking shit on the Mets (like me), they look pretty good so far too. Every analyst keeps showing concern for the offensive voids in the lineup,…

Barry Bonds Didn’t Use Steroids

Just kidding.  He did.  We all know this.  So why is ESPN covering this trial like it’s the biggest thing since OJ? Because it has people talking!  Because you’re writing about it!  So it’s obviously news-worthy! No it’s not.  Everyone knows that Bonds took steroids.  End of story. Does he still own the homerun record?  Yes.  Is it a shame?  Probably.  Should he be stripped of the title?  No.  Were the pitchers he was facing doing steroids?  Yes.  Will I stop asking questions like this?  Yes. Let’s move on.  In the meantime, why don’t you do yourself a favor…
