Parents Just Don’t Understand

Dang, Jodie Meeks!! To be honest, I totally didn’t think you had it in you to score 31 points in a game. You probably never will again, either, but it was still pretty cool. You know what would’ve been even cooler? Doing that against a team with a real defense. Lately, all I’ve been hearing from the Sixers is “We want to win the Atlantic Division, that is our goal.” Well, that’s great, except setting a goal that stops right before the playoffs doesn’t necessarily get you a prize at the end of the day. I know a lot…

I Would Walk 900 Miles

1.) Somebody needs to put an end to that Taco Bell commercial where the teenager kidnaps 4 of his friends and drives 900 miles to a Taco Bell. 900 Miles! That is the most ridiculous thing that I have ever seen. I don’t know anybody who would drive 9 miles to a Taco Bell. As NT put it when I ran this joke past him, “Why didn’t they just drive to Mexico and get some real tacos?” Indeed. Plus, as NT also pointed out, how many Taco Bell’s did they pass in that 900 mile stretch?  I can see…

Peyton Manning Ends up a Bronco, Del Donne a Phenom

After all the woo, all the hype, Peyton Manning has decided to end up in Denver for, most likely, the rest of his career. I guess John Elway did it for him, because I have to think that the receivers didn’t. Who on Earth is Peyton Manning going to throw to? Eric Decker?? Note to self : Draft Eric Decker in first round, win entire Fantasy Championship. I’m not sure why he chose Denver of all places, but the real question is: What is going to happen to poor Tebow? Poooooooor Tebow! Let the scrutiny and speculation begin. I’ll…

Wherefore Art Thou Bulldogs?

That stung. I can’t remember a loss hurting this bad since the…gulp…Tuck Rule! And man oh man, in both cases did the referees play an integral role in the outcome. Now, before I go any further, I want to make one thing abundantly clear: The referees did not lose the game for UNCA. UNCA lost the game for a number of reasons, and while it’s all too easy to blame the refs for this one, they weren’t the sole reason the bulldogs lost. They were a reason, however, and that can’t be ignored. A little background. For those of…

March Madness, Peyton’s Decision, Brandon Marshall’s Left Hook

Dwight Howard…. come on man. I don’t even think Lebron James free agency rumors lasted this long when he was in Cleveland. Basically, last night after the Magic won their 3rd game in a row against top seeds in the East, Howard finally addressed the trade deadline that’s looming by saying that “he will remain with the Magic til the end of the season.” Well what about next season? What about last season? You’re telling me that this whole soap opera was for nothing and will only continue? Dwight Howard has basically pinned the Orlando Magic into a position…

To the Pain!

1.) About a month ago, maybe more, my cousin Bryan suggested that I check out a show called “Full Metal Jousting.” Now, at the time, I was in the middle of moving into a new house and didn’t really have the time to check it out.  This week, however, I had the time and let me tell you something: Full Metal Jousting is AWESOME! The unintentional comedy runs high and the production value looks like it is through the roof. These guys don’t put on armor like you’re use to seeing in museums, they put on armor that makes…

Better Than Nothing

It’s been a busy week, so I will give you my shortest piece yet, “Better Than Nothing.” Haha, that title alone must captivate you into reading further. Well, whatever, I GOT A REAL JOB! Sixers, what is there to be said? We’re back into a crappy slump. The Bulls game was another nail-biter that ended up being pulled from under us. You never want to put yourself in a situation where a 3-pointer is sending you into OT, but if you are stuck with that route, why not have a good 3-pointer shooter take it? Iguodala put up 2…
