Gabriel Medina Apology

As Micheal Scott said, “It takes a big man to admit when he’s wrong, and that big man is me.” In a previous post on the Headrush I criticized Brazilian surfer Gabriel Medina for his actions after his less than gracious “defeat” in Portugal this year. I also criticized his surfing a bit…then, I saw this: Whoa! My apologies, The Wolfman

Current State of Sport

The stories that have baffled me in the past weeks. NBA The Spurs were recently fined $250,000 dollars for sitting out their stars during a televised game. Fined. For resting their players. This to me is one of the most ridiculous things I’ve ever heard. When did the overlord NBA get to decide what individual teams do? This is just added evidence for conspiracy theorists that the NBA is indeed fixed. I mean if you can fine a team for dictating their own team affairs publicly, who is to say what the NBA tells its officials behind closed doors. MLB Sports…

Overrated: Inspirational Speeches

1.) Last night the Saints played the Falcons and this morning, they showed a hilarious video of Drew Brees before the game just screaming all sorts of nonsense to his team.  It was something along the lines of: “THIS IS OUR DIVISION! WE KNOW IT AND THEY KNOW IT! NOW LETS SHOW THEM WHO OWNS THIS DIVISION! GRAAHAGAGAHAHEHEHE!” Apparently, the Falcons didn’t know it. After the speech, Brees threw 5 interceptions, played like a damned fool and lost the game for his team. It all goes to show you that A.) Drew Brees is an idiot and B.) Inspirational…

Beasts of the Southern Wild, Brunch, NFL

1.) I’m just going to keep this short and sweet: Beasts of the Southern Wild is the best movie I’ve seen in a long, long time. If you haven’t seen it, do yourself a favor and check it out. It is MAGICAL! 2.) Also, magical?  BRUNCH! Went out to a delicious brunch with some friends yesterday and I gotta say, there may be a few things better in the world than mimosa’s and steak and eggs at 11:30 in the morning, but I can’t think of any off the top of my head. DELICIOUS! 3.) I am officially done…

Alright, Now I’m Really Worried About Andrew Bynum

Guess what, Philadelphia? Andrew Bynum is probably not going to play for the rest of the year. The ongoing delays and injuries for our prize Center is going to set back his first start until October of 2013. Maybe, ever. Call me pessimistic, but I’ve seen this one before. A lot of the media is discussing the Bynum bowling injury (sorry for having Stephen A. Smith open this video clip with his annoying voice and definition of rhetorical), but this is just a prelude to the real story when the Sixers are forced to announced that he will be…

The Plain, the Coconut, the Picks!

Usually here on theheadrush, one of our two football pick experts, Randy or Adam, make the weekly projections. But this week, it is all up to the Wolfman to serve up a juicy slab of raw meaty picks for you. Instead of using this space to write on and on about how one team should win – only to completely reverse my course of action in the last sentence – I’m just going to give you three simple sentences per pick. If I were you I would not base any of my actual bets off of this column…I repeat…

Hope Gets Hitched

Hope Solo married Jerramy Stevens on Tuesday–as some astute commentor on Yahoo! pointed out, ‘Who gets married on a Tuesday?’–but the real story is what went down BEFORE they got married.  Because I am lazy, allow me to copy and paste the police report from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer courtesy of Yahoo!: “According to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, Marcus Solo (Hope’s brother) was the one who called Kirkland police, and when police came to the scene, he had blood on his forehead and knees, and a bruised eye. Hope solo then emerged from the house, intoxicated and with a laceration on her…
