After The Thunder, Comes the Tears

Alright, so we didn’t win. We didn’t win. Ahhhhhhhhhhh that’s still taking some time to sink in. Up 5 points with 40 seconds to go, we were hanging with the OKC for the entire game, making shots, playing OK defense, but in the end it wasn’t enough. Kevin Durantula made an amazing 3 (which he got fouled on) to tie the game into overtime, and it was pretty much all downhill from there. But, I will reflect on some of the good things. I had the most amazing seats I’ve ever had in the history of sports ever. Front…

Before the Storm Comes the Thunder

Man, all these NCAA violations are getting me fired up. First, BYU suspends their second best player before the biggest national tournament because he got freaky in pre-marital sex, then today Ohio State head football coach Jim Tressel gets suspended 2 games and a quarter million dollar fine for knowing about players selling their used uniforms for cash. It’s a god damn joke that players are intended to make absolutely no money the entire duration of their career at a college they help make millions of dollars. It’s a quarter million dollar joke that Jim Tressel is losing for…

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…

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…

SIXERS IXERS IXERS!!!

This week has been sweet. Super sweet. The 76ers, after starting the season 5-17, have since had an above .500 record for the past 3 months. They have been f-in crushing it. Let’s recap the week shall we? Atlanta Hawks on Tuesday. That was a blowout. I haven’t seen the 76ers win by 34 in… oh… I don’t know. Never. The universe must be collapsing upon itself because the 76ers never win a game in blowout fashion… especially not to a team fifth in the division. Very next night the Sixers lose a pretty close game to the Orlando…

Goodbye Bill Green

How do I say goodbye to what we had?  The good times that made us laugh Outweigh the bad.  I thought we’d get to see foreverBut forever’s gone away It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  I don’t know where this road Is going to lead All I know is where we’ve been And what we’ve been through.  If we get to see tomorrow I hope it’s worth all the wait It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  And I’ll take with me the memories To be my sunshine after the rain It’s so hard to say goodbye to yesterday.  And I’ll take with me the…
