I was reading LeBron James, The Most Hated Athlete in America by Buzz Bissinger and I couldn’t help replying in my own little corner of cyberwebspace. Now, keep in mind that Buzz also wrote The Vindication of LeBron James as well as co-authored a book with James, so he might be somewhat biased. The premise [...]
For the past couple of weeks I have been hearing about how the NFL division/playoff system was flawed and that it wasn’t “fair” that a team with a losing record should get in the post season while a team with a winning record is left out. The proponents of this idea are the same kids [...]
Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you your 2008-2009 National Champions – the Utah Utes! Alright, maybe they are just my national champions but in any logical system they would be the national champions.

Being down here is the South I get to see a lot of Atlanta Falcons games, and they have a pretty good team, but if they want to have a championship team they need to make a big move. Trade Michael Vick. Michael Vick is the World B Free of the NFL – he is [...]
If I had an NBA team it would be called the Bullets ( I grew up a Bullets fan, saw a couple playoff and finals games when they won it all – the Wizards mean nothing to me ) and here are the starting 5 that I would want: Steve Nash Sam Cassell Rasheed Wallace [...]
Hey Cleveland, I always wanted to ask – Which is worse: getting beat by Michael Jordan’s impossible falling jumpshot over Ehlo, or by John Elway’s Drive? Hey, I’m just asking. I guess it could be Byner’s fumble, or maybe the answer is the Drew Carey Show…
