Tone Puts His Dogs Into Jeremy Hawn’s Bathtub

Jeremy Hawn is the cockiest person I know.  When we began discussing that we’d be facing one another in the first round of our fantasy football playoffs, he was immediately convinced that I didn’t have a chance.  I played it cool, complimented his players, and said that he might be wrong.  I guess that he [...]

Loser of the Week – Jeremy Hawn

When you run a sports blog, one would assume that you know a thing or two about sports, and Jeremy Hawn is no exception to that assumption.  His knowledge of football is vast, his insight on players is bountiful, and his mustache is all too often the topic of conversation.  While most people are watching [...]

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 [...]

I was like um…. 23.7 Points Up Bitch!

I haven’t ever played fantasy anything; that is unless you count the voluminous sexual fantasies that I have envisioned over the years. However, I decided this year would be different. I partook in my virgin NFL fantasy football draft last night, and my fifth round draft pick Santonio Holmes just came through big [...]

The Switch Pitcher

Most people who attempt to throw with their non-dominant arm have an extremely hard time. I was once called a queer for attempting to do so, and as a result I haven’t tried to throw lefty since. However, there is at least one exception to the rule.
Pat Venditte is a switch [...]

Fuck Bud Adams

I dropped my trousers, rested my loins upon the somewhat sanitary toilet, and gazed at the front page of the Houston Chronicle sports section in disbelief. The Tennessee Titans were shown in throwback Houston Oilers uniforms to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the American Football League. My heart sunk just as yesterday’s stir-fry [...]

NL Central Excitement

With a win over the Cardinals Wednesday night, the Houston Astros completed the sweep of the first place St. Louis Cardinals. This classic pitchers duel between Carpenter and Oswalt was climactic to say the least. Miguel Tejada had a walk off hit with two outs in the bottom off the 9th, and [...]

Artest moves to L.A. to Pursue Music Career

Now that Michael Jackson has passed away, many people are wondering who’s going to fill his unbelievably shiny shoes. Others are claiming that there will never be anyone as talented as Michael, and I agreed with them until my brother sent me Ron Artest’s tribute to M.J. Its infectious chorus gets stuck in [...]

My Left Foot, Starring Yao Ming

It’s been almost 2 months since it was discovered that Yao Ming had a season ending hairline fracture in his left foot.  So why the fuck hasn’t it healed?  Better yet, why is it worse than before?  Oh wait, I know why.  It’s because he weights 310lbs and has been walking on it ever since [...]

USA Shits On Spain….. Alexi & John, Jealous

Unlike the other fifteen percent of the world, I was working while the United States soccer team took an enormous shit on Spain.  Once I got home I watched a replay of the game while pondering the absurdity of the Spanish players’ haircuts.  When the final whistle blew, I smiled because I knew that the [...]
