Your Obligatory “Excessive Violence in Sport” Post of the Week

Published on: 31st January, 2010

It’s stories like this one that make me sorta glad I’m not in any way athletically-inclined as to be a professional athlete.  Not that rugby would have been my sport of choice, but really, this horrific injury could have occurred in just about any sport, save badminton, chess or ballroom dancing. Rugby is huge in [...]

Hedo Turkoglu’s Succinctness is Awkward but Legendary

Published on: 29th January, 2010

The Toronto Raptors took out the New York Knicks last night at Madison Square Gardens to win their fourth game in a row.  One of the stars on the night was Hedo Turkoglu, who poured in 26 points, and grabbed 11 boards in the winning effort. TSN color analyst Jack Armstrong sought out Turkoglu for [...]

Florida Retiree is Quite Possibly the World’s Greatest Two-Sport Athlete

Published on: 28th January, 2010

Scratch that.  Wayne Persang, a 57-year-old retired former postal service employee, is definitely the greatest two-sport athlete…ever. Persang makes Deion Sanders and Bo Jackson look like a pair of giant pussies. Unlike most retired folk, who only make their way down to sunny Florida to hike their pants up to their armpits, complain about the [...]

Your Morning Wood for January 28th

Published on: 28th January, 2010

Apparently the Chicago Blackhawks like to spend their downtime partying in limos–shirtless (and surprisingly hairless).  Sorry boys, but -1 for the mediocre groupies. [The Big Lead] So Greg Oden’s dong showed up all over the Internet a couple of days ago.  Yeah, he’s sorry about that–about the pictures, not the size of his massive wang. [...]

Terrence Cody’s Physique is Supple, Yet Shapely

Published on: 27th January, 2010

Sorry I’ve been so lax in posting lately.  Life is like that.  But here’s something to make it up to you all. Terrence Cody…in some bike shorts. Cody, the impressive (and not just size wise) nose tackle from the University of Alabama, weighed in at a whopping 370 lbs in preparation for the Senior Bowl. [...]

Ryan Miller’s Olympic Mask is All Kinds of Patriotic

Published on: 27th January, 2010

By the looks of it, Ryan Miller of the Buffalo Sabres is going to be the starting goaltender for the U.S. Olympic team in next month’s Winter Games in Vancouver.  A high honor, to say the least, and much deserved. Like many Americans, Miller is patriotic.  Like, cover your car in U.S. flag decals, wear [...]

Packers Fans Call This the “Favre Effect”

Published on: 25th January, 2010

So do Jets fans, but to a lesser degree. Some people are questioning the validity of this fan’s reaction to Brett Favre’s season-killing, Super Bowl dashing, dreadfully timed interception in the NFC Championship game last night. But I’m a cup’s half-full, eternally optimistic kind of guy.  And I think this is one Vikings fan’s authentic [...]

A’s Prospect Grant Desme Seeks Higher Calling

Published on: 22nd January, 2010

It’s weird refreshing to see that for some people, it’s not always about the money.  For me, it is all about the money, because I have none, which isn’t too great when you have a crystal meth addiction like I do.  But I get by. Grant Desme is one of the top prospects in the [...]

How Else Do You Motivate a Big Fat Guy?

Published on: 22nd January, 2010

Jets coach Rex Ryan loves two things–coaching football and eating food. And judging by his team’s success, and the size of his ass, he’s pretty damn good at both. I like Ryan.  He’s brash, quotable, likable and highly-motivated.  Plus he’s a bigger fatass than I am, which I also find appealing. And now he’s got [...]

Ian Lapperiere’s Bridge Work to be Featured on Milk Cartons Everywhere

Published on: 22nd January, 2010

I had my bike stolen once, when I was about 13-years-old, and it pissed me off so much that I accidentally kicked a dog walking home. OK, replace the word accidentally with the word repeatedly, and the word dog with the word homeless person.  But you can see how upset I was.  And troubled. Ian [...]
