Fantasy Baseball is No Longer a Fantasy

It’s a nightmare. I remember watching the ESPN 30 for 30 about the start of fantasy baseball, and they made it sound so cool and neat. Our league (seen above) is turning out pretty nice actually. Aside from our buddy Sweede dropping Brandon Marrow and Chase Utley instead of putting them on the DL slots given, it’s been a pretty tight race. Everyone has pretty decent squads, including yours truly, who happens to have the 2nd best record after week 1. Big deal right? Right. Who’s got the best record? Nonchalant Brendan. Of course he does. You know that…

Anger

Look, I know I’m biased.  I’m a Sixers fan and I hate the Heat.  But yesterday’s game was one of the most disheartening, outrageous sports scenes that I have seen in quite some time. When I tuned into the game, it was the second quarter and the Sixers were up by double digits.  Then what happened?  The Sixers offense went cold thanks to Miami’s zone (conceded) and then the Heat’s next 6 possessions went like this: foul, foul, foul, foul, foul…foul. I left them room at one point, pissed off at a bad call that sent a Heat player…

Random Thoughts

1.) My fiance and I watched Mystic River on Tuesday and one thing that has always bugged me about that movie is Sean Penn’s glasses.  What the hell?  Look at those things.  This guy is supposed to be some badass and yet he walks around with Grandpa glasses.  I mean…look, if I saw the guy on the street, I wouldn’t say anything to him about them, and I guess that means they’re badass, but…come on. He looks ridiculous!  The ending of that movie is very unintentionally funny, as is any scene in which Penn wears those shades. Penn: “Look,…

The Saddest Sixers Post of the Year

Man, things are looking ugly. Lou Williams is still uncertain about his playoff chances. The Sixers clinched the 7th seed spot. The Heat clinched the 2nd seed. We are doomed. If the Celtics ended up holding the 2nd seed, or New York didn’t climb back into the 6th seed, I would have said we had a chance at a playoff series victory, but now, we don’t have a chance in hell. Let’s take a look at the regular season games between the Sixers/Heat shall we? October 27th, 2010 – The Heat visit Philadelphia for the 2nd game of the…

Dwight Howard Dunks on Jrue Holiday

Well, in case you haven’t seen it, this is footage of Dwight Howard dunking all over Jrue Holiday at the Wells Fargo Center on Monday, April 11th, 2011. Please excuse ESPN’s weird taste in music. To add insult to injury, this is Dwight talking about the dunk after the game. Man, that sucks. Nice way of taking the high road Dwight. You’re never going to win an NBA Championship though, so… fuck you. How’s that?
