Innings Limits

I knew for a FACT as soon as I got a new picture and log-in at the Headrush I would stop writing. It’s crazy, but it is the truth. I could just feel it coming. Oh well. First, as a graduate of the Moore School of Business at the University of South Carolina, I have to give a shout out to Darla Moore for being one of the first two female members at Augusta. The MLB news circuits are going crazy over the imposed innings limit the Washington Nationals have placed on star pitcher Stephen Strasburg – rumored to…

Pre-season Football

1.) Ok, so here were again…August. The month where we all make snap judgements on teams based on 4 meaningless games of football.  I was watching ESPN the other day and they mentioned how Andrew Luck looked sharp in his second start. This is after they showed him throwing A PICK SIX! How is that sharp again?  I’m confused. You know, I’d really hate to be a Jets or a Broncos fan right now. They just never get any airtime on ESPN.  How in the world do Jets and Broncos fans make it through the day without any updates…

My Fantasy Team is ‘The Evelyn Lozada Headbutts’

Sometimes I wonder how successful the NFL would be without fantasy football. I don’t ever recall being that enthralled with the spectacle until 2004 when I first started playing the game. There was finally a reason to cheer for players that I would never care about otherwise. There’s something unique about it, in that fantasy baseball feels like a job and is NEVER satisfying, even when you’re winning. Fantasy basketball I have yet to try, but I imagine that it’s on the same level of fantasy golf. Slow, unrewarding, and probably a bit too nerdy for public perception. Fantasy…

Christmas in August

1.) Ohhhhhh Happppy Day!  I have waited so long, repeat, SO LONG for the Sixers to trade Iguodala that it is almost unbelievable that it finally happened. And the fact that they got Andrew Bynum back in return is fantastic. I am ecstatic about this move, in every sense.  Look, if Bynum doesn’t re-sign, then we got Iggy’s terrible contract off of the books and it frees tons of cap space for 2013. If he does re-sign, then we have a fantastic center. Win-win. Now, as for Iggy, he seems like a nice guy and all, but he was…

Iguodala to Denver, Sixers Get Andrew Bynum & Jason Richardson

Dwight Howard gets sent to the Lakers Woah. This is an absolutely insane NBA trade. Late Thursday night, the Denver Nuggets, the LA Lakers, the Philadelphia 76ers, and the Orlando Magic agreed to a four-team trade that involved multiple players. The most notable was Dwight Howard being traded from the Orlando Magic to the Los Angeles Lakers. The second most notable trade was definitely the 76ers acquiring Andrew Bynum and Jason Richardson for Andre Iguodala. The 76ers have been drafting nothing but small forwards, so to imagine that we’ve somehow landed the second best center in the NBA is…

The Mid-Point Olympics Recap

I don’t watch television often. My television may be on, but I’m usually doing something else in the foreground. I multi-task. I can absorb the information while I’m dedicating myself to something else. That’s why sports are so great, especially baseball. I can truly half-ass paying attention and still get 100% of the highlights at the opportune times. The Olympics have been a true gem. NBC, MSNBC, OSC (Olympic Sports Channel? There’s 2 of em, actually), Bravo, there has been an onslaught of sports broadcasting that run practically 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s been delightful….
