Raptors Republic Article – Pacers 104, Raptors 93, Jan 31 Post-Game
The Raptors extended their losing streak to 12 games, and are now 0-8 when I’m covering a game. This time, Paul George and the Pacers did the damagae, as Bargnani and DeRozan combined to shoot 6/30. Ugh.

Raptors Republic Article – Grizzlies 100, Raptors 98, Jan 24 Post-Game
Last night, the Raptors lost their 8th straight game. More importantly in the realm of streaks, their ridiculous 986 game streak of making at least one three-point field goal attempt came to an end. In the words of the Undertake, Resssst….Innnn….Peeeeeeeeeace.

Raptors Republic Article – Heat 120, Raptors 103, Jan 22 Post-Game
While The Raptors were hammered on the scoreboard for a second night in a row, LeBron James at least provided us a thrilling performance. Meanwhile, DeMar DeRozan continued his development as a serious scoring threat.

Raptors Republic Article – The Right Reasons to Start Jerryd Bayless
I wrote a piece for Raptors Republic, positing that Bayless should be moved to the starting unit, not because he’s better than Jose, but because it makes sense for the output of both players and the team.

An Illustration of Parity in the NFL
The NFL’s goal has always been league-wide parity. While there are obviously a few bright and dark examples to the contrary, in general the middle of the league enjoys a good amount of movement and change. In the longer-term, teams that don’t fall victim to the regression-to-the-mean effect of the NFL’s parity mission stick out as those that are managed well (New England and...

Road Rash – The 2010 Pittsburgh Pirates
By Stuart Wilkinson
The Pittsburgh Pirates are making a run at history. If you take their record at face value, this team just looks like a standard addition to the Pirates record-breaking eighteen year losing streak. Nothing to see here, move along.
If you take a deeper look at MLB’s standings, however, something should pop out at you. The Pirates have won 14 games on the road...

A Detailed E-Mail Exchange About LeBron and The Heat
What follows is an e-mail exchange between Blake Murphy and Trevor Smith on Friday and Saturday, following The Decision on Thursday. It was extremely painful to edit due to the e-mailing format, so please be forgiving. We also probably left out a dozen thoughts we each have, so please also share your thoughts, as everyone seems to have a pretty strong opinion on this, one way or...

NBA Finals: Game 6 Hangover
“But I’ll be damned if I don’t take a stand/We ain’t goin’ out like that” – Cypress Hill
Don’t act shook about this performance, True Believer. This game is exactly what we should have expected out of the Lakers following their let-down in Game 5. This series is not at all about momentum. It is about the moment. This LA team has been two-faced and erratic all season...

NBA Finals: Game 5 Hangover
Long after Game 5 finished, I was left staring at the television before me and echoing the call of the Prince of Denmark. “Bloody, bawdy villain!” I would have exclaimed, if I had better vocabulary, diction, and sense of phrasing. In reality my cussing was much less eloquent – think more fishing wharf than The Barb – but cuss I did alright.
My MFs and GDs were directed...

NBA Finals: Game 4 Hangover
Big Mo’ has become a rather finicky friend to have. It used to be that you could trust him at least to stand by you for a while, enough that you felt comfortable with him on your side. Now though, Mo’ just seems to flip-flop around with no consistency at all. Here today, gone today.
Don’t get me wrong, I still love him – no one is better to have with you than Big Mo’ when...

NBA Finals: Game 3 Hangover
Jonathan Swift once said that no wise man ever wished to be younger. Well, beyond the obvious fact that this makes Mr. Swift sounds like a curmudgeony old man who would very much like you to “get off his lawn with your damn rap music,” he has a valid point.
The passage of time makes us all nostalgic for our youth, but truth be told, most of us were insufferable morons during...
