If I Knew It Was Going To Be That Kind Of Party …

April 13th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Alright, so as I am writing this, the Sharks are in game two of their best of seven with Nashville, and for the second game in a row, a Nashville player has taken a cheap shot and seemingly has severely injured Steve Bernier. While Bernier was facing the boards with his head down he […]

How To Lose Your Office Pool With Style: Midwest Bracket

March 12th, 2007 · No Comments

Just follow my tried and true advice and you too can be the laughing stock of your pool.
In the midwest bracket, my biggest problems came in picking the winners between Oregon and Wisconsin and between Butler and Florida. I really, really don’t trust Florida right now, and Oregon is coming off of an impressive […]

Upset Special, With Your Choice Of Fries or Cole Slaw

March 9th, 2007 · No Comments

Miami beat Maryland, Cal beat UCLA, NC State beat Duke, LSU beat Tennessee.For Maryland, I think this will drop them a bit, but they are still in. Everyone wants to see what the son of a former cokehead ballplayer (who used to be my idol by the way…before the whole drug thing… and a […]

This Is It….

March 7th, 2007 · No Comments

Its time for the Pac-10 tourney, and for that I decided to take a crack at the bracket.. call it a warm up for the big game. So before you say anything, I know, I know…it’s a tad bit biased. But as a Coug’ fan I’m not going against them just yet. […]

Old Faces, New Places

February 16th, 2007 · No Comments

I hated Peter Forsberg for quite a long time, I hated that stupid ginger with every ounce of my soul. When I lived in Colorado, I had to deal with some Avalanche fans (read some, not all) who knew nothing about hockey or even the history of their own franchise, but loved to be […]

They Finally Did It!

February 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Yes, surmounting the odds, they finally won it. I’m still in shock as I have been for quite a while now.
I am of course talking about the Iona Gaels. What… you maybe thought I was talking about Peyton and the Colts? First off, nothing changed last night. Anyone who says that […]

Orton Hears A ‘Who?’

February 2nd, 2007 · No Comments

There is one story this Sunday that is probably not going to be told, and that’s the story of Kyle Orton. I’m not a fan of Orton’s. I’m not a fan of the Bears, but its hard to ignore just how big of a shaft this guy got in 2005 and 2006. […]

I’m Not Normally A Praying Man, But If You’re Up There, Please Save Me Superman!

January 23rd, 2007 · 1 Comment

The Super Bowl is set, and two of the four storylines that will surely be exhausted have come through:

Will this be the year that Peyton Manning wins the big one, and avoids the relentless Dan Marino comparisons? Will Peyton Manning ever reveal that he wears women’s underwear under his pads? (I haven’t heard anything, […]

They Are Not Helping Me This Weekend

January 19th, 2007 · No Comments

This weekend’s picks are going to be tough. The odds are pretty much set so I’ve got to pick a winner… I can’t just call for the underdog to beat the spread anymore. So this should make or break my playoff record (which currently stands at a respectable 5-3).
New Orleans at Chicago (CHI […]
