Sixers Win!

Hooray!  So I went to the Sixers game last night, thanks to birthday tickets from my lady, and boy oh boy was it a fun experience.  Not only did I get to witness the rare act of the Sixers actually winning, but I also got to see my favorite Kentucky player from last year and this year’s number one overall pick: John Wall. Live. In person! Of course, John Wall got ABUSED by Jrue Holiday (His stats look OK cause he padded them in the 4th when the Sixers were up by double digits, but Jrue peed on him),…

Tom Cable…You’re FIRED!

Al Davis fired Tom Cable today, or maybe it was yesterday, but since I saw the news this morning, I’ll assume that it was today.  And what is my reaction as a life-long Raider fan who just experienced the thrill of an 8-8 (EIGHT AND EIGHT!) season? Eh. I don’t really care.  A shrug of the shoulders.  The reason?  Tom Cable cost the Raiders a victory over Miami when he started Bruce Gradkowski over Jason Campbell. Tom Cable absolutely sucked last year as an offensive coordinator.  Tom Cable was not going to out-scheme a coach like Tomlin or Belichick…

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 17: This is the End

Boomer: Jim Morrison once sang, “This is the end, my only friend. The end.”  We’ll be back with the blitz. I don’t know if Berman has said that yet on ESPN, but if not, I bet he says it at some point this weekend. It’s the end of the line for most of us NFL fans.  Panthers, Raiders, Vikings…you root for an NFL team and chances are that you’re either waiting for next week’s playoff games or waiting for the April draft.  Only a handful of people will give a shit about the games today, and that’s why week…

The Fantasy Recap : Learn From Our Mistakes

After a Tuesday night debacle with the Eagles, most people’s fantasy leagues are over. The champions have been crowned, and my fantasy play off runs have come to an end. Funny enough, Adam and I both ran leagues this year, and we took first place in opposite ones. It was my first championship victory in 4 years of fantasy football. This was Adam’s 2nd year in a row in my league. What can I say? If that isn’t a staple of sports blog credibility, then I don’t know what is. First the recap of “Carlos Ruiz los loco” in…

Merry Christmas!

Hope everyone is having a good holiday.  Thanks for all the love and support we’ve gotten over our first year. ESPN is showing basketball all day, so here’s a little gem from a few days ago where Dwight Howard tries saving a ball from out of bounds, and instead drills it off of a Spurs player.  May or may not be intentional. It’s also Adam’s birthday today, so special shout out to him. Happy Holidays guys!

Get Outta Delaware Park Week 16: SPEEEECH!

This is it.  Fantasy football finals.  Real football playoff berths at stake.  Holy S is this weekend going to be awesome.  Not only is it Christmas, and someone who happens to be writing this article’s birthday, but it is also the most significant football week of the year. For my Raiders, the road looks bleak.  They have to beat the Colts.  They need San Deigo to lose one of their last two games against garbage teams.  They need the Titans to beat Kansas City.  They then need to beat the Cheifs at Kansas City. There is not much hope….

76ers Named Top 10 Power Ranking… Then Promptly Lose.

Surfing the net earlier today, I came across an actual ESPN story that featured the 76ers.  The reason being that Philadelphia happened to be one of the most “overlooked” teams in the NBA, and that they were listed in the top 10 NBA power teams in the league.  I have no idea what that means.  I was just excited to see some national coverage for Philadelphia that wasn’t Michael Vick being the catalyst for a New York meltdown. How does a team like the 76ers respond?  They lose.  Badly.  45 points to be exact.  The 76ers started the 8…
