Good morning , Bud Selig. Did you sleep well? I f#cking hope not. Your playoffs have been a joke, with at least 7 horrendous calls that easily could have been overturned with instant replay. But you don’t want instant replay because you’re a baseball “purist.” Really? Where was your baseball purity when you turned a [...]

Just a quick college basketball update before I return to college football.
Both the AP and ESPN/ USAToday have released their preseason basketball polls, and Kansas was named the overwhelming No. 1 in both polls.
Michigan State comes in at a solid No. 2, with a few first-place votes, while Kentucky received three first-place votes and Texas [...]

I think I covered all the cheesy puns that will appear on sports pages this morning. News papers are predictable. Maybe THAT’s why they’re going out of business, because they use puns as headlines. Anyway, Cliff Lee pitched one of the great games in World Series History last night. It would have been a shutout [...]

In last night’s World Series game 1, Chase “Dapper Dan” Utley hit two homers to break a stalemate between Cliff Lee and CC Sabathia. Eventually, the Phillies went on to score a few more runs against the Yankees bullpen after Utley “Chase-d” CC from the game (see what I did there?). And Cliff Lee went [...]

Last night we saw the return of the NBA. There were a couple of good games, but more importantly, the return of a few great players. Kevin Garnett came back from his mysterious knee injury to have a good game against the Cavs. He guarded Shaq really well and shot for a high percentage, and [...]

The World Series is here! There are so many cool angles to this matchup. There are the two best lineups in baseball, two great three-man rotations, former teammates and back-to-back Cy Young winners CC Sabathia and Cliff Lee facing off in game 1 (and maybe more than once), Pedro vs. the Yankees in a contest [...]

The NBA tips off tonight! Get it? Tips off! Just like the tip off that starts each game! Did you get the joke yet? Really? ‘Cause I don’t hear you laughing yet. Ok. So, I probably didn’t need to tell you that the NBA season starts today, because you would already know that unless you [...]

Welcome to another addition of Eye Candy / Eye Rape where I rate the NFL games this week in turms of their watchability. Let’s get going:
Texans vs. 49ers: The first half was some brutal eye rape, but then the 49ers came back and almost tied it. Plus, we got to see Alex Smith look like [...]
