Terrell Suggs Calls ESPN Blowhard Skip Bayless "Douchebag", America Agrees
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs has had a rough couple of days. His team blew the chance to go to the Super Bowl, TWICE, and then the following morning had to talk to blowhard and Charles Barkley's "favorite" analyst Skip Bayless on the inane babble debate show that is The Skip Bayless and Steven A. Smith Show, oh, urr, uh, ESPN First Take.
Skip Bayless...
Chuck Giampa And The Worst Announcers Ever
For Showtime's boxing coverage, they decided to bring on former boxing judge Chuck Giampa and use his vast knowledge of boxing to help fans know how to score fights. Or as Giampa puts it, "taking you inside the mind of a judge".
...and nothing else apparently.
It is a pretty bad performance, but it was his debut, so I guess we can cut him a little slack. So I...
Jeremy Lin Thoughts
Now that Tim Tebow has hibernated for the offseason, America needs a new sports story to incessantly overhype, blog ,tweet and post to their Facebook pages. ESPN needs someone new to mention 65+ times a day.
This is sports in modern society: sequential obsession.
But many casual Sportscenter-sports-fans don't realize that Lin has been a small-scale sensation for almost two...
Move it on over
Wednesday February 15 2012- In an effort to add more offense, three separate MLB teams are converting existing firstbaseman to third base at the big league level. Not unprecedented, but risky nonetheless as the list of successful converts is short and made mostly of former SS like Alex Rodriguez or Cal Ripken, Jr..
The Detroit Tigers signed 1b Prince Fielder and have decided...
NY Yankees ask CC to lose weight
Monday, February 20, 2012- This is a story you can't help but love for obvious reasons. The New York Yankees have asked CC Sabathia to lose weight despite the fact he has already lost 15lbs reducing himself to a peckish 290. The club has suggested that the 19 game winner may have been fatigued in the season's second half, but would not say exactly that Sabathia's weight...
Reacting to the ESPN Films 30 for 30: The Announcement
November 7th,1991 was one of the most seminal days in sports history, perhaps even American history. It was the day that Earvin ‘Magic’ Johnson announced on national television that he was HIV positive. The revelation sent shock waves throughout the country and more particularly throughout me. I cried that day- I was nine years old. I remember thinking that my childhood idol...
Will the real Sarah Phillips please stand up?
Who is Sarah Phillips?
That is the million dollar question today as reports surface that ESPN fired Sarah Phillips following a bizarre identity crisis.
However, the identity crisis is a little more complex than Phillips not knowing who she is.
It seems like no one can figure out who she really is.
Sarah Phillips was originally hired by Covers.com and ESPN due to her ability...
Curt Schilling: Baseball Fortune "Probably All Gone"
During an interview on WEEI radio in Boston, former Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling said that his baseball fortune is "probably all gone" now due to his failed business venture, 38 Studios.
He also said in the interview that part of the blame should be placed on Rhode Island officials and Governor Lincoln Chafee.
Schilling admits that he was partly to blame for 38 Studios...
ESPN Publishes Made Up Interview with German Soccer Star
Today, ESPNSoccernet published an interview with German soccer star and newest member of Arsenal, Lukas Podolski.
Except for one little thing. Its completely made up.
Podolski took to his Facebook page to tell his followers that the whole thing is made up, posting, "Hey guys, on the ESPN website there is an interview published I never gave. It contains parts, which are...
Indians Announcer Says Racist Remark During Game
Cleveland Indians television analyst Rick Manning may want to think the next time he tries to make a clever remark.
Shin-Soo Choo hit a double last night of the center field wall that barely missed leaving the park and Manning comes up with this gem.
I wouldn't have expected anything less from the team that still has Chief Wahoo as its mascot.
First of all, he got the...
Sox Players Gather Around Francona in Clubhouse
Before the Red Sox played the Yankees this afternoon, former Red Sox skipper and current ESPN analyst Terry Francona chatted with his former players.
Francona sat next to Dustin Pedroia and Cody Ross and they started chatting. Then more and more Sox players started to join the trio.
Eventually Nick Punto, Jarrod Saltalamacchia, David Ortiz, Clay Buchholz, and bench coach Tim...
NFLPA Calls out Darren Rovell, ESPN
This week, ESPN's 30 for 30 series drew a lot of attention with it's latest film "Broke". The film documented the trials and tribulations many professional athletes endure during their time in sports and especially once their careers come to an end.
The NFL Players Association took quite the exception to comments made by ESPN's Darren Rovell as they have...
TCU QB's DWI Nets Indefinite Suspension
More news from the police blotter. This time from Fort Worth, Texas where #15 TCU's starting quarterback Casey Pachall has been arrested for a DWI. Pachall has been suspended indefinitely following his early Thursday morning arrest. Pachall's "breath specimen" was over the legal limit (0.08), said Pedro Criado, Fort Worth police spokesman. Pachall was transferred...
Michael Wilbon Issues Apology
Michael Wilbon stirred up the sporting world, especially the D.C. sporting world earlier in the week with comments he made disparaging the D.C. "sports scene". A D.C. sports writer, Dan Steinberg and fellow ESPN'er, Bram Weinstein took particular exception to Wilbon's comments.
A nice synopsis of this feud can be read here as I choose not to bog down this post...
Ducks do all the Heavy Lifting in the 1st Half to get the Win
Oregon took the field with a purpose on Saturday night; to start fast and finish strong. That purpose was met as the Ducks hammered #23 Washington 52-21. The Ducks jumped out to a 21-0 lead powered by the running game mostly, while the defense also pitched in another score. De’Anthony Thomas began the scoring with a 16 yeard TD run that left Huskies defenders juked and spun...
Are the Cleveland Browns Courting Urban Meyer?
Another day, another interesting report about the Cleveland Browns and new owner Jimmy Haslam. A source with the Browns indicated that Haslam recently visited The Ohio State University to take in a practice session with the football team.
Now this could mean absolutely nothing, or it could mean absolutely everything. While admittedly unlikely, some people I've talked to have...
Ducks Taking a Unique Approach In The Pac-12
I’ve been doing some research on the winning history of a few different programs in college football (I plan to publish what I found soon) including the Oregon Ducks. The research involves evaluating how teams have won (or loss) over the years. I’ll let you in early on what some of my research found; Oregon has been a perennial loser in the Pac-12 (and Pac-10 and Pac-8). ...
Steve Young Has Had A Rough Night
After the Monday Night game between the New England Patriots and Houston Texans, ESPN NFL analyst Steve Young went on the air to talk about how unpredictable an NFL regular season can be when this happened...
NBA? I'm glad Suzy Kolber caught it right off the bat, but Young was completely oblivious to the fact that he completely confused the NFL, the league of which...
ESPN's Jemele Hill Tweets Racist Letter From Listener
On Friday, ESPN reporter Jemele Hill tweeted a racist letter from a listener who complained about a recent appearance on a radio program.
Hill was guest-hosting ESPN Radio's "The Herd" normally hosted by Colin Cowherd and Hill tweeted that the racist listener had "executed the hat trick of racial slurs".
The website Gawker has said that this is "...
First Take fan
I watch almost every day now. I guess you could say I have “embraced debate.” That’s the theme of one of my new favorite shows, ESPN’s First Take. For two hours, five days a week, two sports reporters debate the latest games and gambles of the NFL, NBA and MLB.
Skip Bayless is my favorite debater. I usually find myself agreeing with him. He is older, wiser and a Tim Tebow...
Topsy-turvy Tebow
It was a topsy-turvy football season for Tim Tebow. At least it felt that way for his fans. I am one of them. Will he get to start this week? Will he even get to play?
Now that the offseason is upon us, it remains topsy-turvy. Will the New York Jets release him? Will they keep him? Will they trade him? Who wants him? It is enough to make this fan’s head spin more than that famous...
eXcellent X Games
We are addicted to sports in our house. Not a single calendar day goes by without some sporting event being watched. In between sporting events we are glued to ESPN and the NFL Network for the latest sports news.
Since this is sort of a slow time for sports with football phasing out, we are experimenting with new types of sports programming, the X Games. So far, it has been a lot...
Love me some Lolo
This morning I went go-go for Lolo. Olympic gold medalist in track and new competitor to the sport of bobsledding, Lolo Jones appeared on ESPN’s First Take today. She addressed the controversy surrounding Ray Lewis openly sharing his faith and his belief that it is God’s will for the Baltimore Ravens to win Sunday’s Super Bowl. She responded with maturity and humility. Here...
My All-Star break to do list
I am really worried about the NBA All-Star break. My team, the Sacramento Kings, doesn’t play for 5 straight nights. I am definitely going to go into withdrawals. To help occupy my time, I have come up with a to do list. Feel free to add your suggestions.
Write a novel.
Finish my “honey do” list.
Solve the Middle East crisis.
Lose 50 pounds.
Fix Charlie Sheen’s personal...
