Look How Happy They Were
Updating on a previous theme, the powerful combo of the Knicks and Nets are now 1-19 on the season. This is like an accident scene you feel guilty watching but still are enamored by on account of morbid curiosity. Tonight, the Knickerbockers look to turn...

Don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of the Jets. I bitch and moan and lament the sorry hand I've been dealt. I whine and complain ad nauseam about how brutal it is to root for such a losing franchise and the myriad of ingenious ways they continue to find to lose football...

My tank runneth empty...or something. Way back in the '07, this sports blogging thing was a whole lot easier. Now, I've got one of those wife things, an apartment, buddies having kids, mortgage, and, like, uhhh, responsibilities, or, something. Point being, my brain seems to...

Spending the weekend in D.C. with sis and brother-in-law... nice to get away from the city and the never-ending to-do list associated with the new digs. Moving outside of your regular environment often brings perspective. Such is the case today. Now, I knew the Knicks and Nets were...

So, Mike Tyson apparently knocked down (or out) a paparazzi at LAX earlier this evening. My only thought? Of all the people to f with in the entire celebrity world, there might be no human being I'd be more frightened about provoking than Mike Tyson.As a child of the 80s, Iron...

Can someone tell me where the Knicks are hiding Eddy Curry? Seriously, what have they done with our lovable round mound of non-rebound? I'll share the video after the jump. But if you check out the screen grab to the left, it may start to give you a hint as to what I'm talking...

So, I've been busy at work lately. Hence, no long, thoughtful reflective posts about clever little sports commonalities from the late 80s we can all share and collectively giggle about. I ain't got the time or the energy. Home ownership. Job. Life. All getting in the way of...

Just for the record, I see nothing very much wrong with this reaction from Mike Smith. If he threw a punch, I'll retract and say he crossed the line. Otherwise, I not only accept his reaction, I strongly support it. Hell, I'll bet most fans wish their coaches would show that...

No Number of 'Noles Stopping Spiller(AP Photo, Shiro)I find it hard to believe many people can come near to doing what Clemson's C.J. Spiller does with his two legs. Turns out, he can put most to shame on only one good wheel. Just ask Florida St.The move has kept me from a...

I've always been a Chris Cooley fan. It's kinda hard not to be, particularly following the hot pants, hot wife and all-around alpha maleness and blogging madness. That's why it was particularly disheartening to hear about Cooley going down for the year with a knee injury...

Most have probably already heard the somehow not-at-all-surprising news of Cy Young award winner Tim Lincecum getting pulled over and then "busted" with a bit of weed. Let's just say I don't disagree with most of the commenters on said article. But I'm not here...

I know in the classical sense of film and cinematography it's no epic movie. I don't care. Rounders is easily in my top 10. Just how high, I'd need some more time to determine. Teddy KGB is one of the huge reasons why. I am lucky enough to work with a team in the office...

All is right, and by that I mean horribly wrong, in the world again. The Evil Empire has re-claimed its spot atop the baseball universe, casting its belittling eye upon the downtrodden MLB masses. I have no desire to talk about this event and will now go about trying to avoid all...

This is the picture that is etched in my memory. There's something about the look. There's something bigger in that smile. It seems to say so many things - to speak such volumes about Len Bias. It has a little of his swagger. It has a little of his appreciation. It hints at...

Perhaps a Good Time for Evaluation, No?What happened to preseason evaluation? Isn't that was those draft day war rooms and training camp are for? Apparently, taking a look at your roster and "evaluating everyone" from "top to bottom" is all the rage these days...

This is Brandon Spikes. Doer of evil. Blight on all of collegiate football. Gouger of eyes. Sinner of sinners.At least that's what much of America would like you to believe. Spikes is an unconscionable thug, a "criminal" and deserving of "jail time" for trying...

So, the Knicks season opener is tonight in Miami. And, although I tend to mock the franchise and even feign an all-out split, I can't hide that I still watch - on occasion. Tonight will not be one of those instances. Nevertheless, I thought it my civic obligation to head over to...

Chances are nobody cares. For some reason though, I am really caught up on this whole JaMarcus Russell thing. Maybe it's because I'm a big college football fan and loved watching him play at LSU. Maybe it's because I saw him before the draft at an event and witnessed the...

I'm still undecided on this whole apocalyptic World Series match up. That aside, I'm slowly coming around on at least one Yankee -- his name is Nick Swisher. Sure, at one time I kinda likened him to the overrated Eric Byrnes-type who nobody could seem to shut up about. Constantly...
