Piss On Eddie Shore: NHL Preview – Western Conference

And now to Part 2 of our little jaunt around the Original 30.

Tennis Bitties

It’s no mystery that there are some very attractive female tennis stars out there. Hot girls gravitate towards the tennis courts because they love wearing cute outfits. Now I don’t usually use the adjective “cute” to describe what one is wearing, but for female tennis players I will make an exception. I’ve [...]

Piss On Eddie Shore: Your NHL Preview – Eastern Conference

Follow Up: Big Hurt VS Big Hack

For those of you who didn’t catch it, this post is a follow to my Then VS Now comparison of players back in the day who hit for power but struck out very little compared to sluggers of today like Mark Reynolds, Ryan Howard, and Adam Dunn who don’t care about contact and focus solely [...]

Talkin’ Football: The Sport My Jewish Mother Would Never Let Me Play “Because You Could Get Hurt, Boobelah.”

I’m in Chicago this week for the Jewish holiday’s and my 10 year high school reunion, which should be really interesting when I tell them that I do THIS with my life now.  I just got off the phone with my grandmother making plans to pick her up tomorrow for morning services, and was reminded [...]

Holy hell almighty!

Not much to say here, as I didn’t get to see it, but this native Michigander is pleased as punch that the Lions have finally broken their 19-game losing streak by beating the Washington Stereotypes 19-14.
From the clips I saw, Matthew Stafford actually looks like a somewhat legit NFL quarterback. Calvin Johnson and Kevin Smith [...]

Prem-i-er Stomp: Your Weekly Guide To EPL Action

Well well, so this is The Other Fifteen.  Smells weird.  Or maybe that’s me.  Anyway, my name is Sam, and I’ll be providing your footy and hockey thoughts throughout the year.  Yes, I’m writing about the sports no one cares about and yes, I know this is why I’ll die alone and why my bar [...]

Red Sox Fans are Terrible People

Pat just sent me this link which led to the following exchange:
Me: Nice article.  Your fanbase is generally made up of terrible people.
Pat: In all seriousness, man, it’s fucking terrible.  I hate it.  I’m so glad I’m in NY and not f#cking MA.  You’re absolutely 200% right, terrible people.  One of my best friends is [...]
