Sinking The Ship
Luck has never been readily available in my life. In fact, as it has been said many times, “if it wasn’t for bad luck, I wouldn’t have luck.” Fantasy football has been no exception to the rule. Instead it has been a cruel demonstration of how unlucky I am. Consider in 2007, four times a [...]

MLB Mid-Season Review: Final Predictions
Alright sports fans, here is the anointed moment where I will extend predictions for the remainder of the season and embarrass myself in the process. What follows is not intended for children under the age of 36, and I highly recommend wearing protection while reading is in progress.
In the NL, I have predicted the Mets, [...]

MLB Mid-Season Review: NL Central
The 6-team royal rumble that is the NL Central has turned out to be one of baseball’s strongest and most competitive divisions. Chicago stands at an impressive 16 games over .500, however, their margin of error remains small as Milwaukee and surprise St. Louis are 1 and 2 games back, respectively. Cincinnati, despite being only [...]

MLB Mid-Season Review: NL East
The National League East is home to 4 of the most competitive teams in baseball, as well as our capitol’s most talented Brownie troop. Economic powerhouses, New York (57-48) and Philadelphia (56-49), are currently atop the pile with only a game separating the two teams. The Florida Marlins are a mere 2 games off the [...]

MLB Deadline Deals
Junior Griffey headed to Chicago
Ken Griffey Jr. has accepted a trade that effectively makes him a member of the Chicago White Sox. He joins a crowded outfield situation, with Carlos Quentin and Jermaine Dye already entrenched at the corners and Nick Swisher in center. Further complicating the impending depth chart is incumbent DH, Jim Thome. [...]

MLB Mid-Season Review: NL West
As we make our way into the Senior Circuit, we come across a group of Double-A teams that have banded together to form a division. They really aren’t that bad, but there isn’t a single team in the NL West that holds a mark above .500. The Diamondbacks and Dodgers are atop this scrap heap, [...]

MLB Mid-Season Report: AL West
This group looks somewhat how they were projected to with Los Angeles in the lead, followed by the recession proof Athletics, and the always pitching-less Rangers, and that $100 million piece of history in Seattle pulling up the caboose.
The Angels have posted a 57-39 record (.600), which has only been good enough to secure a [...]

MLB First Half Review: AL Central
Well, this division has turned out very differently than the ‘experts’ envisioned it. The Chicago White Sox are atop the fray with a 54-40 mark due to an offensive explosion that took place in May, and hasn’t really stopped. Carlos Quentin, who was acquired from Arizona during the offseason, has been bludgeoning the baseball to [...]

MLB Mid-Season Report: AL East
It is that time of year, again, when the Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, Mets, Dodgers, Cubs, and exactly 1 player from the other 26 teams combine to fill out the American and National League rosters in order to play the always over-hyped and rarely satisfying, Mid-Summer’s Classic. While many fans will undoubtedly spend their time [...]

Who’s NCAA Hoops’ Best?
Tonight’s NCAA Men’s Hoops Championship game pits two very talented squads, Kansas and Memphis, against one another a mere two days after each dismantled the other two best teams in the nation — quite handily, I must say.
I am still reeling from my ‘heels getting that big Kans...

UNC’s “Q” Gets Much-Deserved Love
UNC’s Quentin Thomas was always better than Bobby Frasor, but never better than Raymond Felton and Ty Lawson. With injuries to Lawson this year, Thomas’s playing time increased to a respectable level, and he can proudly say he contributed to getting the Tarheels into the Sweet Sixteen.

Hey, Bracketheads!
With the excitement of the NCAA March Madness Tournament in full swing, I figured it best to drop in and wish everyone much luck in your bracket pools. Well, as it goes, this only applies to those outside of my own; if you are in my pool, just to let you know, Kent State lost [...]

Heather Mills’ Tejada-esque Contract
One would hope that having a billion dollar empire, the protection of one’s ass(ets) would be a priority. But, of course, hindsight is 20-20, and now Sir Paul McCartney has officially learned the hard way.

Favre Eyes Return… Already?
Please, oh please, Mr. Fav…rah, prove me right.
The man inevitably headed to the NFL Hall of Fame is quite possibly (rumors, innuendo and potato chip dust says so) considering sticking around to play with another team.
(Thanks to TheBigLead for point this out.)

Perfect Final Four: Ingenius or Lucky?
Are the folks (like me) who picked all four No. 1 seeds to make the Final Four ingenious, or simply lucky?
Admittedly, I take myself out of the running for the “ingenious” category. As I said when I first offered my pick ‘ems, I did not follow all teams as closely as in previous yea...

I post this image to make one main, important point to all Americans:

Sure, Yao Ming is good for a laugh or two in credit card commercials. But where was the Chinese giant when his team needed him most?
Or, maybe, Yao was just where he needed to be - safely injured on the sidelines - in order for the Rockets to find the inspiration to catapult to [...]

Did Favre Contribute To Job Loss?
Brett Fav-rah, you heartless brute, you. Didn’t you know retiring from an adoring, groupie-filled league would have an adverse effect on the economy? Why didn’t you think about others, sir, when deciding to hang up the stubble and cleats?

Chris Webber Hanging Up His Kicks
Growing up in the D.C. Metropolitan-area, the main lingering memory I have of C-Webb is when the Washington Bullets mistakingly traded him to Sacramento for Mitch Richmond and Otis Thorpe, instead of Juwan Howard. No disrespect to Howard, who had his best NBA years in D.C., but C-Webb has Hall of Fame numbers and was much more exciting to watch.
