Monday, November 26th, 2007S-Dot Taylor was shot in his Miami home late last night. The severity of the injury is in question, but it sounds like he’s in extremely critical condition after a gunshot wound to the groin. It’s being reported that the shooting happened during a burglary gone wrong.
Either way, this is awful news and our thoughts […]
Monday’s Basically Top Five Blog Links
Monday, November 26th, 2007This is a new, revolutionary feature known as Basically Top Five. It’s totally different from and more refreshing than other links dumps such as The Roundup and Saint Andrew’s Net, and the name honors our friend Brian the Bull, who says “basically” and “top five” a lot. The former means he’s lying, and the latter […]
The New Caps Coach Was in ‘Slap Shot’
Sunday, November 25th, 2007It’s been a strange season for the ice-breaking, goal-shaking Washington Capitals. They started off 3-0 with people talking playoffs. Then they went 3-14-1 and fired their coach on Thanksgiving. Now they’ve won two in a row under fiery first-timer Bruce Boudreau. Whether or not the new guy is the solution remains to be seen, but […]
N.C. State Penalized 15 Yards for
‘Giving Him the Business’
Saturday, November 24th, 2007
Thanks to commenter Elisabeth for providing video of the hilarious penalty call from today’s Maryland game:
I’m not sure where you’d find the section in the rulebook regarding giving others the business, but there is precedent for making such a call.
Update: The commenters are on fire as 289 shares video of the precedent.
UK’s Brooks Appreciates a Great Catch
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Is the SEC the greatest conference/league in the history of conferences/leagues? Probably not. I’m partial to the Big Ten. Punting is just so exciting. But the southeastern part of the nation was pretty god damn awesome this weekend. It was highlighted by today’s Tennessee-Kentucky game, which featured an amazing catch to keep the Vols alive […]
The Turtles Are Goin’ Bowling, Bitches
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Despite NC State being nowhere near the top 10, Maryland stomped ‘em for win No. 6*, bowl eligibility and a possible New Year’s Eve date with Boise St.
In other college football news, my alma mater lost by one to Appalachian St. in the I-AA FCS Playoffs, meaning they’re one point better than Michigan.
* Props to […]
Gilbert Goes Down, Our Hearts Go On
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007Arenas re-tore his meniscus, had surgery today and will be out for three months. I have no words, but Wizznutzz encapsulates our innermost thoughts and feelings.
Three months from now is late-February. IF Caron and Antawn stay healthy, the Wizards can hang around .500, right? And, IF that happens, Gil can swoop in and play hero […]
Nick Young Dunks Can’t Stop Won’t Stop
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007I don’t know that we’ll post every time NY throws down, but we will every time there’s photo and/or video evidence of how sweet it is. This “not spectacular, but nice”* one comes courtesy of Ned Dishman, Getty Images.
As for the campaign to get Mr. Young into the dunk contest, those on board now include […]
