Confusing Italics

Lost in all this ‘the NFL is a terrible institution’ hullabaloo seems to be the fact that ESPN–who is going all out guns blazing on the NFL and their mistakes–is not the best source of journalism in the world. For instance, I read their big old Ray Rice Outside the Lines expose and was pretty impressed by it all. It seemed like they had done their work and cross referenced everything but then, the bomb dropped this week that the text messages sent from the Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti to Ray Rice in the report were erroneously reported. Here’s how…

Big Brother for the Win

My pick for the Super Bowl is based solely on personal experience. When it comes to pick-up games of basketball, soccer, football, baseball, wall ball, knee football, sharks and minoes, freedom, sardines, lacrosse, 500, king of the hill, rumble fumble, sledding, water balloon fights, back yard wrestling, and of course, half marathons, my big brother–the wolfman–has always held sway over his younger counter part. Therefore, my Super Bowl pick reasoning goes like this: John Harbaugh is older than Jim Harbaugh. Therefore, my pick for the Super Bowl winner is: The Ravens, 24-20. Enjoy!

Delaware Park Parlay Special

Alrighty, it is now time for the NFL Playoffs or as us Raiders fans like to call it, the offseason! Delaware Park has these Playoff Parlay cards where you have to pick three steps right in order to get paid 3 for 1. Now, I don’t really like to gamble, and I’m not really good about picking NFL games but since this is a “sports blog” I thought I better try it out before the season ends. Anyway, here we go. Step One: Select Point Spread Game I am going to take the Seahawks -3.5 over the Redskins. Why?…

Liam Neeson: A Wolf Would Destroy You

1.) I know that I am probably going to get destroyed for saying this, but I’m getting a little sick of Liam Neeson’s attempt at being an action star.  You know why?  Cause the guy looks out of shape!  In fact, I bet Liam Neeson couldn’t even finish a 5K. After that movie, Taken, I’ve heard people say things like, “Liam Neeson is BADASS!”  To that I say, “No…no he isn’t.” In this new movie, The Grey, Neeson has to take out a pack of angry wolves.  I’m sure that Neeson will win in the movie, but do you…

Take…Take me Home

1.) I put that song “Home” by Bone Thugs-N-Harmony on a mixtape that I made recently and I have to say, I do not regret the decision one bit.  Holy cow, what an underrated song.  It has an abundance of unintentional comedy. I mean, it’s a Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song with freakin’ Phil Collins for crying out loud. According to Wikipedia, the group got so much positive feedback from the song (in the U.K., not the U.S.) that they decided to name Phil Collins an honorary member of the group with the moniker “Chrome Bone.” Gangsta. Now, with all that…
