Manchild in the Promised Land

I remember watching Greg Oden, not-so-long-ago, as he began his career at Ohio State, wondering to myself, “who’s the old guy with the huge wingspan plugging up the middle for the Buckeyes?” Turns out “the old guy plugging up the middle” was an 18-year-old kid out of Indianapolis, fresh from being named High School...

Whoa Nellie! Warriors Get Smart

You can only run and gun for so long before someone realizes you also have to play a little thing called defense in this league. With the Golden State Warriors second in the NBA with a 108.8 scoring average last season, while also allowing 112.4 points a game? It was most definitely time for...

Da Kid is All Right

As the summer winds to a close and fall begins, there’s one thing everyone can agree on: It’s been a wild NBA offseason. Big name players such as Lebron James and Chris Bosh have left their former teams in hopes of finally winning the big one.  Amidst all the shuffling and moving, accusations have...

Let Them Eat Hate

“Greed, for a lack of a better word, is good.” -Gordon Gekko Forget greed.  Hate is the real good. Hate is predicated on excellence. And excellence breeds hate. Fans hate winners because winners are powerful.  And to be the most powerful, you have to be most excellent.  And to be the most excellent, you...

All Tatted Up and Nowhere to Go

I’m all for expressing yourself. The true inner you. The long misunderstood creative sort, just itching to break out of the, more often than not, impressive towering physical specimen, which, otherwise is, more or less, responsible for what gets you up for the bulk of your already too busy 24/7/365. But, has it come...

The Big Letdown

There have been many startling advances in society this summer. The iPad, batshit-crazy Tea Partiers, Chris Bosh on TV anytime you turn it on (since signing with Miami, the guy has been on Leno, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel, and Entourage. Entourage!). One thing that didn’t advance this summer was my remote control still being...

We Call It Riding the Gravy Train

Some things are just too good to be true. And other things have absolutely no need for the truth. Mark Cuban gets two helpings of both at every meal. He always eats in the Steak Bar. He loves to drive in his Jaguar. The five-foot nothing, two-hundred ten pound short stack of a man...

Just One Red Hot Minute

Last week, nationally syndicated columnists, all-too-present-talking-head pundits and the self-important blog set weighed in on what Ines Sainz and her luscious booty mean to the current national discussion concerning testosterone-filled locker rooms and plunging necklines. The curvy journalist, who bears the self-proclaimed nickname “The Hottest Reporter in Mexico,” said NY Jets players’ catcalls and...

Popo Don’t Preach

The San Antonio Spurs begin training camp in the next few days, and I wanted to take a moment to illustrate to everyone why the Spurs are done winning championships. That’s right. Done. Don’t get me wrong, I will gladly give credit where credit is due. In 1999, 2003, and 2005, the Spurs worked...
