Tuesday, January 29th, 2008In September of ‘05, I got a call from a guy named Will Leitch who humbly (and mumbly) introduced himself and his oddly named site, Deadspin. He wanted to inform of his new endeavor and ask which blogs he should be reading, if he wasn’t already. Aside from being an impossibly fast talker, what struck […]
TMZ Is on Brady Anderson Like
Yahoo! Sports on Reggie Bush
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008
Exclusive! TMZ is reporting! That ex-baseball player Brady Anderson! Picked up a girl online! And sent her text messages! That’s a great story! So says TMZ.
So much wrong here: 1) TMZ users don’t even know who he is, yet this is the second time they’ve mocked him this month. 2) He didn’t do anything wrong […]
Greetings From Phoenix/Glendale, AZ
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008For those who don’t know (and I don’t know why you would), I’m in Arizona for the Super Bowl. Well, not actually for the Super Bowl itself (in other words, I don’t have tickets to the game), but to “cover” the whole fiasco for SportingNews.com, and more specifically, for The Sporting Blog.
Much like Will Leitch […]
Charlie Brown Is Heading Downtown
Monday, January 28th, 2008The 1980s was my elementary school decade, and following Super Bowls our crossing guards would hand out Redskins police cards. They were marvelous, with big, colorful pictures of our heroes on the front and life lessons on the back. Needless to say, the women handing these things out became more sought after than crack dealers, […]
Rachel Bilson Is Likely Quite Stoked
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Based on the fact that the Brothers Mottram watch Project Runway and use hair product, it should come as no surprise that we loved The O.C. (yes, even after Marissa died). So naturally we have a special place in our heart for Summer Roberts, who showed up at the X-Games last night in the form […]
Ovechkin Wins the NHL’s Dunk Contest
Sunday, January 27th, 2008In case you weren’t aware, it’s NHL All-Star Weekend and the league has instituted a breakaway contest to spruce things up. It was judged by Dominique Wilkins, Riggins from Friday Night Lights and two other guys, and honors were taken by Washington’s own Alexander Ovechkin, whose finest moments resulted in no goals but plenty of […]
The City Gets Snubbed, Dunks on LeBron
Sunday, January 27th, 2008Despite our best efforts, Nick Young isn’t in the Dunk Contest, and I can’t say I have a problem with that. Jamario Moon is nasty, Rudy Gay is a bigger name, Gerald Green is the champ and Dwight Howard is the top contender. Plus, the Wizards rookie already posterized LeBron this week (still pic), and […]
Why Replace Al Saunders With Jim Zorn?
Saturday, January 26th, 2008Let’s not get into why Gregg Williams isn’t good enough to be head coach. Or why Russ Grimm hasn’t even been interviewed. Or why Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato seem to be infatuated with Jim Fassel, Steve Spagnuolo and/or Josh McDaniels. For now, let’s focus on why they fired offensive chief Al Saunders and replaced […]
