I don’t suffer fools lightly. I mean, it’s one thing to cruise your average message board and see all these breathless “OMG the Lakers r gonna git Howard and CP3!” proclamations or your garden-variety fan that shows a profound lack of comprehension regarding the new CBA (such as the one I read where someone claimed…
You know, like dude from “Silence of the Lambs”? Not that I ever doubted they would buckle eventually, but I’m still wondering why it took so long. At least they came to their collective sense before a season was lost. Apparently I knew they weren’t gonna get their way a good while before they figured…
Not as if anyone doubted that J.R. Smith’s stint with the Zhejiang Golden Bulls of the Chinese pro Leagues was a disaster waiting to happen, but it really has been quite the clusterfuck for everyone involved. Depending on who you believe, Smith has already faked a knee injury, demanded to be put up in 5 star…
The nerve of some people. Less than two weeks away from the Antonio Margarito vs Miguel Cotto rematch, the good folks at the NYSAC almost canceled the fight. Seems there is still some consternation about licensing Margarito in the aftermath of the broken orbital bone he suffered at the hands (gloves?) of Manny Pacquaio a…
“-Ohhh, I’m so glad I’m calling this fight.” -Max Kellerman Not that it’s some kind of secret or anything, but the people over at HBO Boxing are pretty damn good at promoting the fisticuffs. Their 24/7 documentary series was essentially created to sell the 2007 Floyd Maywaether/Oscar De La Hoya Super Fight (and sell it…
Not kidding here. Not even a little. Forgive me if I don’t follow College Football very closely these days. Yeah, I saw and heard enough about Tebow’s time at Florida to know he was the golden child and all that, but he struck me as just another great College player who wouldn’t be able to…
Trust me, I tried. I sat on my hands for as long as I could while this story grew into the giant ball of shit that it is today. Oh, I have my opinions for sure, but I wanted to avoid talking about this sad mess for as long as I could stand to. I…
Sure, the fact that the season may be all but cancelled sucks. No argument here. Not only does this mess threaten to wipe out all the goodwill produced by last season, it’s the mightiest public relations disaster imaginable, the dirt worst example of millionaires and billionaires bickering over the money pile while the basketball fans…
As a rule, I almost never miss an HBO Boxing telecast. Yeah, the big name fights get saved for Pay-Per-View, but the regular broadcasts usually feature most of the great fighters (and fights) the sport has to offer. When people talk about Boxing being dead, it’s only to be taken in the broadest sense of…
