Team Vonn Vs. Team Mancuso

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Earlier this year, teenage girls were told to choose between Team Whatever that Gay Werewolf Guy's Name Is and Team Whatever that Gay Vampire Dude's Name Is as a pre-marketing hype for the new Twilight movie. Olympic fans have been given a similar choice on the slopes this year. Though Lindsey ...

Yeah, screw that pool - Strait Pinkie ...because we're the Yankees - Bootlegger Sports Only in the NFL would it be considered a good move if a team cuts its leading rusher - Star-Ledger I'd say MLB made some money last year - The Biz of Baseball Fedor is going to fight again in ...

So, Yeah, Canada is Still Good at Hockey

Thursday, February 25th, 2010

Did everyone see that Wednesday night? Seriously, did you see how Canada completely dismantled a very talented group of Russian hockey players? At some point during Canada's 7-3 win, did you ever think what the score would have been against Team USA if the Canadians played with the same mix of ...

No, I don't remember Devan Downey - Strait Pinkie Ozzie Guillen has a twitter now? I'm surprised it's legible - Sun Times I'm linking solely for the headline: Nick Punto: Piranah or Rabid Chihuahua? - Star Trib If that '99-'00 Michigan State backcourt had one more year together, basketball people would still pleasure ...

The Stars Of The Vancouver Olympics So Far

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

The 2010 Vancouver Olympics have surprised me in more ways than one. The action has been entertaining despite NBC's tedious coverage (do we really need commercial breaks after every two ski runs?), the fact that I don't understand the scoring systems for half the sports and the interminable alpine delays ...

Canadian Pie

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

In the movie "Being John Malkovich," ordinary people enter a portal that brings them inside John Malkovich's brain. The other night, I entered a similar portal that brought me inside the brain of a Canadian after USA's 5-3 hockey victory. The following song is a result of that journey. (Remember, if ...

Team USA beat Team Canada on the ice yesterday. Did some one say Hitler video?!?!?! - Sharapova's Thigh One bad season following some injuries and the Chargers are done with LaDainian Tomlinson, the greatest player in the history of the franchise. The NFL sucks - Fanhouse Buzz Bissinger no likey Brett Favre ...

Antonio Cromartie Has Big Boy Problems

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie was likely on his way to being traded this offseason because team management doesn't think he's tough enough. Cromartie is easily one of the most athletically gifted players in the NFL and just two years ago he was a Pro Bowler who snagged a ...

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

While the United States continues to dominate the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, everyone paused yesterday so the host nation could play a little hockey against its neighbor to the south. It was lovely of the Canadians to allow the Americans on the ice and show us how to play ...
