The Illadelph Got me a Bit Ill?
2007-11-19 17:05:00 This weekend I took a journey north to visit Drob in the city of Philadelphia, and per usual, the trip was remarkable. The majority of the day yesterday was spent in a sports bar watching our respective teams completely lie down in the second half, forcing us to become somewhat bitter. And you know what happens ...

Top 5 Thursday: Favorite Quarterbacks
2007-11-15 20:52:00 The quarterback is always a polarizing athlete - either you love him, or you hate him. Some of them drive you absolutely crazy because they make terrible decisions. Others wow you every time they step on the field because they seem to find a way to win. And still others, you think ... More About: Events , Thursday , Favorite , Favor , Quarterback
Ah, To Be a New York Sports Fan These Days?
2007-11-15 17:03:00 So word on the street (and when I say street I mean the internet) is that Stephon Marbury and Isiah Thomas got into a bit of a feud over something or another. The reason behind the feud is not what’s important here, we just love that these two are constantly in the media for anything. My theory ... More About: Sports , Events , New York , York , Days
Week 11 NFL Haiku Previews
2007-11-14 17:15:00 Before we begin our haikus, we would like to take a moment to reveal to you that D.Rob and his ridiculous alias (Samurai) have not been writing all these poems by himself. He has had help from Pettey, who has come up with his own stupid nickname - “Konichiwa”. In reality, the two of them ... More About: Events , Haiku , Week
Teach?Your Children Well
2007-11-13 16:49:00 I recently read a story that we’ve all heard a thousand times before, involving parents getting into an epic battle during their kid’s little league matchup. We laugh at these stories because part of us thinks, “Who are these people?”, while the other part of us can totally relate to this because there was always ... More About: Children , Events , Well
Top 10 Ways You Can Tell the NBA Season Already Started
2007-11-12 21:19:00 I was on a mission this morning to find out if the NBA season was underway yet or not. I had to do a great deal of digging, hours at the library, flipping through some files, researching on the world wide web. It’s not obvious that the NBA season started, but it did ...

Karate Lessons Could also Help?
2007-11-12 15:23:00 One of the most exciting plays in all of sports is the punt/kick return in football. From Pop Warner to the NFL, this play will always be smash mouth and can have a critical influence on not only the score but the momentum of the game.

Here?s a good idea - Slow down baseball games
2007-11-09 20:23:00 As if Major League Baseball didn’t have enough problems right now. A whole rack of players are about to be named for using steroids and HGH, the World Series was a disaster for anyone outside the state of Massachusetts, and A-Rod is asking for half a billion dollars. Now the owners want to slow down ... More About: Events , Games , Idea , Good
Wait, Holliday still hasn?t touched first?
2007-11-09 15:01:00 So why are people so up in arms about having instant replay in baseball to acknowledge the validity of a homerun? Is this that big of a deal? I think instant replay should exist not only in every aspect of sport, but also in every aspect of life. If I could get a replay of ... More About: Events , Wait
Top 5 Thursday: Most Ridiculous Team Names
2007-11-08 20:19:00 It came to my attention this afternoon from an inside source (Pettey) that the Tampa professional baseball team has changed their name from the Devil Rays to just the “Rays”. I wonder what sparked this sudden change? Was the local church accusing them of worshiping the devil? Did the Pope himself interject? ... More About: Events , Team , Thursday , Ridiculous , Names

He Can Turn the World on With His Smile?
2007-11-05 15:52:00 I have to admit, I thought the Vikings were out of their mind when they drafted Adrian Peterson this offseason. Especially after their primary back, Chester Taylor, made the Pro Bowl last year. I stopped caring after about 12 minutes because we’re talking about the Vikings here, and pretty much just went on with my ... More About: Events , World , The World , Smile , Turn

There?s Nothing Wrong with the NBA

In fact, with all the media overkill, the league has never been better. What people like Pettey don’t understand is that the NBA has very little to do with what happens on ...
