Being Buster Olney

Tuesday, June 14th, 2011

We assume the following conversation took place between ESPN writer Buster Olney and his brain this weekend before he wrote a story detailing baseball's possible realignment to two 15-team leagues. BUSTER: Hey brain, do you have any ideas? There's nothing interesting going on right now and I need to stir ...

Don’t Shoot the Messenger

Monday, June 6th, 2011

The beauty of the Chicago Cubs is the simplicity of their design. Just when you think they've lost in the crappiest way you could ever imagine, they find a way to do something even worse the very next day. That was the case on Sunday, as the Cubs got swept by ...

Wait, Why Is This A Story?

Tuesday, February 8th, 2011

Ever have one of those times when you can't tell if you're in the minority or the majority? This is one of them for me. Deadspin's story (and I use that word in the same sense as fish stories and children's books) about New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez having somewhat ...

On ESPN, Favre and Where Journalism Goes to Die

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

You know, I was really enjoying a pretty quiet beginning of August. Should've known Brett Favre was fixing to ruin that. You see, I'm a Packers fan. Always have been. As a result, I've morphed into something of the Brett Favre expert on this site. Truth be told, Favre was my ...

Scott Wolf Of The Los Angeles Daily News Is A Moron

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

I've long wondered why the BCS is so messed up every year and we end up with a muddled picture at the top of the college football world. Well, after taking a look at Scott Wolf's week five ballot, I've figured it out. Simply put, the lion's share of people ...

Link Dump! Brought To You By Eli Manning’s Money

Wednesday, August 5th, 2009

Well, not FUNDED by it, but definitely inspired by it. I realize he won a Super Bowl for them, but really? And I also have to admit that it's not like the highest paid player in the various sports leagues is always the most deserving. Eli's about to get paid. But ...

Link Dump! Brought To You By Sgt. Joe Friday and Officer Bill Gannon

Wednesday, July 22nd, 2009

There are over five thousand men in this city who know that being a blogger is an endless, glamorless, thankless job that's gotta be done. I know it, too. And I'm damned glad to be one of them. TMZ just pissed me off for a completely different reason this time. 6:45 ...

Link Dump! Brought To You By Kaley Cuoco

Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

Kaley Cuoco has overcome her weird last name to be extremely hot and one of Phillips' favorites. Enjoy. Nice comeback by Antonio McDyess. I vaguely remember seeing him drafted - The Legend of Cecilio Guante Motorcycles! Fighting! Yeah! - Sports Rubbish The Ultimate Warrior on Michael Jackson...Too soon? - Deuce of Davenport Jose Mourinho's ...

Gregg Doyel Is Bad At Journalism

Friday, May 15th, 2009

Gregg Doyel writes for CBSSports.com and his columns are - to say the least - usually over-the-top, lack proper insight and, frankly, suck. He's the guy who said that College Basketball as we know it is now over because John Calipari is at Kentucky. Yep, completely over. Teams like North ...

Zack and AP Make A Porno

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Now that the drama that was the Bulls and Celtics has left us, most people are left wondering what to watch. Let's face the facts, there isn't another playoff series that will match that drama until the David Stern-mandated Kobe vs. LeBron Finals are upon us. Personally, I'd go with the ...
