Welcome to the Elite .500 Club

Last night, the 76ers did something that they haven’t done since 2009. Become an average team. With a win over the D-Town Pistons, the Sixers’ record is 29-29, putting us 7th in the Eastern Conference. Surprisingly, the East isn’t that bad this year, and of the 8 teams that would be going to the play offs, there is only one with a losing record. Take that Seattle Seahawks! The 76ers now have the same amount of wins as the New York Knicks, who everyone won’t shut up about. Except, didn’t the Cavaliers just beat them? Word? Now, to be…

Hockey…what the hell

I tried to watch hockey a few days ago with my friend Bob, and then I tried again last night.  And it just isn’t happening for me. Playoff hockey, I can get into that.  It’s crazy intense. But regular season hockey is just kinda…meh.  And last night, while watching the game, which the Flyers won 4-3 in OT, I finally discovered the main reason for my dislike of hockey: It is incredibly, incredibly, INCREDIBLY stupid that the players can use their hands to knock down the puck and put it right in front of their sticks. That is how…

Al Davis Prints His Own Money

Well so much for owners being cheap skates who won’t spend any money on their players.  How about Mr. Al Davis?  Coughing up chunks of coin on the players he wants to keep.  This has GOT to piss off the rest of the NFL owners.  While they are scraping and clawing to cling to every last nickle that they’ve can squeeze out of their product and their players, Davis is saying, “Hey.  Stanford Routt.  Here’s 30 million dollahs.  Hey. Richard Seymour.  Here’s 30 million dollahs. Hey, Kamerion Wimbley, the NFL says that 4 million dollahs is too high of…

Dem Soccah Goals Dem

Amidst all the crazy things happening in the NBA, something monumental has happened in the world of Soccer. The under 17 United States Men’s Soccer Team beat El Salvador to get into the 2011 Fifa Under 17 World Cup!! I have no idea what that means!! This video is just pretty funny. The guy commentating is a very nice sounding Haitian man who sounds very excited to be a part of this. They score two goals in the first 10 minutes, and spoiler alert, US go ahead in the 95th and 111th minute. The Salvador’s don’t like this, and…

Playing with my Twitterous

Last night was pretty epic. Blake Griffin “stunned” the world by jumping over a damn Kia, something only, I’d say, 75% of male athletes could accomplish. Still, with the choir singing, and the hype that went along with it, it turned out pretty sick. Here it is if you missed it: They said he won with 68% of the vote. I’m gonna go ahead and guess that probably 50% of the votes were in before the two even dunked. It’s a popularity contest, (see Iguodala, 2006,) so I properly predicted the victor two days ago. Hooray for me. It…

2011 All-Star Weekend! Bring on the Stars!!

Thaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat’s right. The NBA season is almost halfway over, and that means that every professional NBA player gets to take a break from their extremely difficult job of playing basketball for about 10-20 minutes on average three times a week. Strenuous right? We should give them awards! There’s talk of the Dunk Contest being pulled in upcoming All-Star Breaks simply because no one wants to compete anymore. To be honest I really can’t understand why. You look like a bad ass, there’s very little physical risk (right?) I don’t see the downside, but every year it seems that the…

Finally the Rock HAS COME BACK…

What a way to start the morning.  Last night, I had an inkling that the “special guest host” of this year’s Wrestlemania would be none other than The Rock, but after falling asleep around 8:30, I had kinda forgotten all about it.  When the dog woke me up at 2 a.m., I thought about checking on-line to see if it turned out to be true, but I didn’t.  And boy oh boy am I glad because I would NOT have been able to get back to sleep. Not since Cliff Lee signed with the Phillies have I been so…
