Bryant Dominates Suns With Vision In Game Two
After owning game one of the Western Conference Finals with a 40-point effort, Kobe Bryant took over in a different way Wednesday night during the Lakers’ 124-112 win over the Phoenix Suns.
With the Suns sagging off of Ron Artest to help on Bryant, the Lakers’ superstar found wide open passing lanes and used his court-vision to find teammates. Bryant had nine assists...

The Sad Tale Of Dusty Dvoracek
One word among all others best suits Dusty Dvoracek: rehabilitation.
And after news leaked Monday that the Chicago Bears defensive tackle will miss yet another season due to injury, the word will continue to fit. But Dvoracek’s rehabilitation has surpassed that of just a torn biceps and knee injuries.
A lot of people rooted against Dvoracek.
Much like [...]

I Agree With Lou Holtz…Sort Of
Okay, not really. But I couldn’t let this humdingah pass me by. Dr. Lou has come out and said that Notre Dame will be in the BCS national title game, but because they have a really easy schedule, not because they’re really the first or second-best team. And I tend to agree with him that [...]

Altidore Makes Hull Debut
So the wife is out watching “The Time Traveler’s Wife” with the girls, which meant I got to spend the afternoon sitting around the house in my Newcastle United jersey and basking in another win in the Championship, this time against Crystal Palace. Oh, hey, it’s Bolton at Hull City. Talk about a heavyweight matchup. [...]

McD’s College Football Preview Part One: 9 Predictions For 2009
Before I get started, congratulations to Phillips’ sister and baby-daddy (I kid, I kid) Eric on the birth of their daughter. I don’t get to do my Luca Brasi impression until her wedding, I guess, but in any case congratulations to everyone.
Now on with the college football-related wrongheadedness.

Mario Chalmers, NCAA Hero of The Decade
On Thursday, we learned that Memphis’ 2007-08 season never actually happened as the NCAA stripped away all of the program’s 38 wins due to the fact that Derrick Rose was not eligible to play in any of those games — including the Tigers’ appearance in the national championship game. No more Final Four banner in [...]

Matt Cassel Not Starting In Kansas City?
Shocking as it may sound, there are actually several sources claiming that Brodie Croyle may be breathing down Matt Cassel’s neck for the starting quarterback job in Kansas City.
Chiefs beat writer Kent Babb claimed yesterday that Croyle could be challenging Cassel for the starting spot. Then, head coach Todd Haley had to explain himself after [...]

Chris Pressley Is My Favorite
Aside from Carson Palmer’s emergence as the best deadpan comedian since Mitch Hedberg, my favorite person from this season of Hard Knocks on HBO is rookie fullback Chris Pressley. But before I talk about him too much, watch this video of him squatting 610 pounds several times.
For the record, that was posted in 2006 when [...]

It’s Worse Than We Thought
It’s an old fan cliche to say that one is better than the current quarterback of one’s favorite college or pro team. Most of the time it’s sarcastic or simply said out of frustration, but in the case of the Syracuse Orange, it might actually have been true until Monday night.
That’s right, Orange fans, Greg [...]

Brett Favre … Do I Really Need to Say Anything Else?
Let me be clear: Brett Favre is the single most important athlete of my childhood.
Unlike everybody else on this blog — including those poor, sad Bears fans — I grew up a cheesehead-wearing, Favre-worshipping Packers fan. During my youth he won three MVP awards and went to two Super Bowls, winning one that I still [...]

TheBaker’s Dozen: Favre, Swine Flu And Sonya Blade
1. I hate Brett Favre. I used to have an adversarial respect for him, being a Bears fan and all, but now this is just getting ridiculous. Talk about an attention *****. Oh, and Jay Glazer just bodyslammed the ESPN weasel trio of Schefter-Mortensen-Clayton at the same time, by not “reporting” Favre to Minnesota, only [...]

World’s Suckiest Douches

Ten College Football Players I Can’t Wait To See
The college football season is fast approaching. And for me that means just one thing. Scouting for next year’s NFL Draft. I mean, my alma mater (Indiana) blows and the sport is illegitimate anyways - at least it will remain that way until a playoff system is adopted.
So, I basically just look to be impressed. [...]

The Sports Dude Goes To Mexico City and Lives To Write About It
A few months ago, Bill Simmons had ESPN soccer announcer Rob Stone as a guest on his radio show to talk soccer - a rarity on the Sports Guy’s show.

Tiger Pulled A Phil
It finally happened. Tiger Woods blew a lead after 54 holes at a major for the first time in his career. He failed, he folded, he fell apart, and like everything else he does, Tiger did it spectacularly. To put it another way: Tiger Woods pulled a Phil Mickelson.
Woods blitzed the first three days of [...]
