Who do you think the MVP of ASU basketball is going to be this year?Eric Boateng? The senior center has looked good so far and put up 21-12 against TCU, but I'm not ready to trust him yet.Derek Glasser? The senior leader is probably this team's best player, but his numbers...
Was Bill Belichick Really That Wrong?

Was Bill Belichick really that insane for going for it on fourth and two, up 6 with the ball on his 28 yard line? You've probably heard almost every side of this story because it dominated football discourse on Sunday night and Monday. In case you still have no idea what I am talking...

I have three Arizona related sports takes to get to. I don't have time to make them three separate articles, because I'm in grad school. Grad school in November is like the baseball post season, every mistake is magnified. To keep up with the analogy, the difference between...

It's true, the season began with a not-so-subtle disappointment against the Fighting Singletaries - the same day that the NFC Championship banner was unfurled at University of Phoenix Glendale Campus Stadium. The inexplicable opening loss was followed up at home by a more-splicable...

Our beloved Tecmo Blog had a fantastic run, but we have hit quite the productivity speed bump and it looks as though it has come to an end. It can be tough for all of us to keep up in this ever busy world we have. I want to thank all you readers for sticking with us throughout the...

It has been 16 days since Tecmo Blog has last come to you with a new post. That is the record for our longest drought ever. I didn't have much to say about the Conference finals in the NBA, I leave any NBA finals talk to the two Laker experts of the Tecmo Blog and I don't care...

Matt Harpring: Tough Guy!

I think this clip sums up the Utah Jazz nicely. After what can only be considered the weakest flagrant 2 ever, watch closely for Matt Harpring’s response. When a teammate goes down, Matt does what any good teammate should do: runs to the referee!! What’s funny about this is you...

To say Mike D'Antoni is headed off to greener pastures is a stretch, he is just switching from one marquee NBA team on a down slide to another marquee NBA team that has managed to fall past rock bottom. In New York D'Antoni's greatest asset won't be his beautiful style...

Let's Speculate

It looks like the Suns are in the market for a new head coach, so let's do a Tecmo Blog favorite and speculate who this new head coach may be! Many people think it is going to be a low budget coach because Robert Sarver is cheap. Never mind the fact that Sarver is only one of the...
End of an Era

Tecmo Blog

The era of the Suns is over. It ends without a championship but perhaps they earned something more noble: saving basketball, showing people the game can be fun again. No, it's no ring. Rings often never go to the most entertaining team, when the dust clears in sports it's usually...
Ten Random Musings

So I ran and hid from the Blogesphere like a little baby when the Suns went down 3-0. To be fair, I can not really write rationally when it comes to playoff series involving the Sterns (ooops, Spurs. Oh there I go again!) Plus, I have a million other sports thoughts to deal to you...

The Olympics have come under attack lately because of China's involvement in suppressing Tibet's protests against China's rule over their country. I don't know a ton of details on the story, except for the fact that China's dealings of these protests have caused...

Jerryd Bayless is going pro! This is fantastic news for us at the Tecmo Blog who had to deal with the conflicting emotions of our love for Jerryd Bayless (he went to my high school) and our hatred of the University of Arizona. Now we just have to find a way to get him on the Suns . . .

Why are we so up in arms over Matt Leinart, a young, rich, famous, good looking guy partying with girls while taking beer bongs? People say he should be trying to be better at football, but does this mean he can do nothing but study film and work out? People say he has an image problem...

You might have seen Gerald Henderson's cheap shot/flop combo early this week, but MJD at Yahoo! Sports pointed out that on that same play, Kyle Singler got in on the fun with a purple nurple of the WVU point guard. I've never been one to pile on Duke, but watching this video...
