Dem Soccah Goals Dem

Amidst all the crazy things happening in the NBA, something monumental has happened in the world of Soccer. The under 17 United States Men’s Soccer Team beat El Salvador to get into the 2011 Fifa Under 17 World Cup!! I have no idea what that means!! This video is just pretty funny. The guy commentating is a very nice sounding Haitian man who sounds very excited to be a part of this. They score two goals in the first 10 minutes, and spoiler alert, US go ahead in the 95th and 111th minute. The Salvador’s don’t like this, and…

Playing with my Twitterous

Last night was pretty epic. Blake Griffin “stunned” the world by jumping over a damn Kia, something only, I’d say, 75% of male athletes could accomplish. Still, with the choir singing, and the hype that went along with it, it turned out pretty sick. Here it is if you missed it: They said he won with 68% of the vote. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that probably 50% of the votes were in before the two even dunked. It’s a popularity contest, (see Iguodala, 2006,) so I properly predicted the victor two days ago. Hooray for me. It…

2011 All-Star Weekend! Bring on the Stars!!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat’s right. The NBA season is almost halfway over, and that means that every professional NBA player gets to take a break from their extremely difficult job of playing basketball for about 10-20 minutes on average three times a week. Strenuous right? We should give them awards! There’s talk of the Dunk Contest being pulled in upcoming All-Star Breaks simply because no one wants to compete anymore. To be honest I really can’t understand why. You look like a bad ass, there’s very little physical risk (right?) I don’t see the downside, but every year it seems that the…

Finally the Rock HAS COME BACK…

What a way to start the morning.  Last night, I had an inkling that the “special guest host” of this year’s Wrestlemania would be none other than The Rock, but after falling asleep around 8:30, I had kinda forgotten all about it.  When the dog woke me up at 2 a.m., I thought about checking on-line to see if it turned out to be true, but I didn’t.  And boy oh boy am I glad because I would NOT have been able to get back to sleep. Not since Cliff Lee signed with the Phillies have I been so…

SIXERS IXERS IXERS!!!

This week has been sweet. Super sweet. The 76ers, after starting the season 5-17, have since had an above .500 record for the past 3 months. They have been f-in crushing it. Let’s recap the week shall we? Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. That was a blowout. I haven’t seen the 76ers win by 34 in… oh… I don’t know. Never. The universe must be collapsing upon itself because the 76ers never win a game in blowout fashion… especially not to a team fifth in the division. Very next night the Sixers lose a pretty close game to the Orlando…

Super Bowl: Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down

The Super Bowl is over….football is over….it is now time to embrace the most hellish sports month the calendar has to offer: February (shudder). And thanks to greedy owners/a terrible union, we may never see football again until the year 2012. And by terrible union, I mean turrible.  The QBs hate the DBs, the DBs hate the O-linemen, the O-linemen hate the D-linemen, the D-linemen hate everybody, everybody has concussions that have turned their brains to scrambled eggs.  It’s just one weird sport where you have guys playing different positions who don’t like the guys who play the other…

SUPERBOWL PICKS BABY!!!

It’s that time of year! The culmination of all our hopes and dreams placed into one 4 hour long commercial, with bits and pieces of football sprinkled in. Since we’d like to rig the contest here to make it more exciting, it’s match play bitches, meaning Adam, Brendan, and I are tied like some Nike Air Jordan shoelaces. It comes down to this one game, one selection, to determine who in-fact has ungodly like football prediction qualities. I wager it to be me. So the challenge this time was to not only select the team with the spread, but…
