Let's Cool It with the Kobe Talk

Is every done changing their underwear yet? No? I'll give you a minute, meet me in the next paragraph.

All right. Nice dunk. Contested, I get it. But why is the collective sports world ejaculating every time a clip of this is played? AP did it. Some guy at CBS Sports did it. My favorite overreaction comes courtesy of Ramona Shelburne (yikes) who appeared to feel like this was a dunk to win Game 7 of the Finals, not in the middle of game 5 of a series against a 7-seed.

"He sprung, more than he jumped. Like he used to. From a place only he knows how to reach."


Cool your jets Ramona. I'm pretty sure there are more than a few athletes who can reach "dunking on Emeka Okafor" heights.  The guy doesn't look like he can jump more than 5 inches off of the ground. 


"Only he really knows. Because only he ever jumps from the place he did Tuesday night."


Again, basically everyone over 6 feet has the potential to do this to Okafor. I love the guy from his UConn days, but c'mon. 


This is really just part of a bigger problem. Kobe is a great player, I admit that.  Sure, he never would have beat the Celtics in Game 7 if they had Kendrick Perkins, but that's beside the point. He is an absurd scorer, and has become just unselfish enough to not have everyone outside of LA completely hating his guts.  He probably is the best player of the past decade, with Timmy Duncan as the other contender. But I'm getting pretty sick and tired of everyone starting a Kobe love-fest whenever he accomplishes something that we should already expect from a guy who is as good as he is.  


I understand that everyone has been trying to force Kobe as the face of the league for the past decade. From Nike trying to thrust the whole, "Black Mamba" (A nickname he gave himself by the way. Only an asshole like Kobe would give himself a nickname.) thing down our throats, to the David Stern and the NBA bribing some girl in Colorado to keep quiet about the league's "super-star" trying to give her the trinity. Or rape her. Either way Kobe wasn't doing something good. But this is taking it too far. 


Let's not glorify a dunk just because he did it. Blake Griffin took a shit last week that looked relatively similar to that jam. Lebron James already ordered toilet paper with various images from that dunk. Hell, Nate Robinson is even wiping his ass with that slam.  Not entirely sure why I keep making analogies to taking a dump (maybe because I'm currently taking one), but you get the point. We've seen much better, let's not all have accidents in our pants just because Kobe did it. Especially you Ramona. 


And let's settle this now while we're at it. He will never overtake Jordan, Bird, Magic, Russell, Kareem, Wilt or Hakeem.  Those guys are legends.  Think about it. Think about how when fellow players and sportswriters look back on those guys.  It's like they're talking about Gods.  They speak with a reverence.  No one is going to be like that with Kobe. Many of the veterans still see him as the petulant kid who had Shaq (and, oh I don't know, 6 more championships) forced out of LA just so it could be his town.  Many remember when he threw a hissy fit and almost signed with the Clippers.  Those guys ahead of him wouldn't have done that, and that's why he'll never be greater than them.

Man Crush of the Week

In my opinion, this wasn't even close. Sure, you could argue CP3 after that game he had Sunday night. But there wasn't a better story out there than Brandon Roy's absurdly emotional week.  I understand every writer with a computer has already expressed their admiration about this already, and you might be tired of reading about it, but I want to talk about it, so I don't give a shit what you want.  My blog, my rules.

Roy was a 3-time All-Star, and one of the more automatic shooters in NBA 2K10, which results in huge bonus points for me.  Unfortunately, he must've traded knees with this guy at some point during his NBA travels. All right, maybe not that bad, but the fact of the matter is he lost his explosiveness. Those knees simply couldn't handle a full NBA season, at least not as a starter, especially not a go-to-guy. Roy then got knee surgery on January 18 to try and rectify it.

Now, I'm a gifted athlete, and a physical specimen, and as such I have never torn a ligament or broken a bone.  The worst injury that has happened to me was when I needed stitches on my elbow after trying to luge down a hill on my skateboard and I flipped over. Suffice to say, I don't know jack about serious injuries. Which makes what he did Saturday night all the more impressive to me.

Now, if he had "simply" (Ha.) dropped 24 in the flow of the game, that would've been a superb story all on its own.  But no. He did this in a 23-point comeback against the 3-seed in the West. Nuts.

Good for you Brandon Roy, and congratulations on winning Man Crush of the Week.

Called It

Well, what do you know, all of the predictions I made for Easter Sunday came true.

Boston swept. I mean, am I surprised? No. You don't win basketball games with just two guys. Especially when one is milking the shit out of some minor injury in order to gain sympathy points and avoid getting destroyed by vastly superior competition. (Amare.)

The Heat were bound to lose. Philly had been giving them a hard time for two of the three games, and they really wanted to win one on their homecourt. Also Lebron is a choke artist, so we'll enjoy seeing this one go to seven games thanks to Lou Williams averaging 25 points each of the next two games.

So, Dwight only had 29 points and 17 rebounds in a loss. My bad. He still dominated, again, as his teammates sat around with their collective thumbs up their asses. I'll be happy to see how many Orlando "fans" there are when Dwight leaves in 2012. Probably about 17.

CP3 did it again. Just took it to the Lakers. He had as many rebounds as Gasol and Bynum combined. Are you kidding me? How embarrising is that? Two seven-footers got outrebounded by a six foot guard who has been having recent knee trouble. Those Lakers. Everyone but Kobe is ridiculously soft.

And hockey had two overtime games. Told you it would be exciting. (Also, who called the Blackhawks taking it in 7? This guy.)

So yea, if you ever have a wedding to go to or something like that, just come back here if you want to know what's going to happen in the day of sports.

Happy Easter

"Damn. Didn't see that one coming." - The Jews/Whoever else crucified our boy JC roughly 2000 years ago today.

Happy Easter everybody! Enjoy the plethora of sporting events that unfolds before you. Celtics sweeping. Heat botching a chance to do so in Philly. Dwight Howard realizing that Orlando REALLY sucks after dropping a 40 point-20 rebound performance in a loss. CP3 making Derrick Fisher cry into Kobe's arms. And hockey should figure to be mildly entertaing during the NBA commercials. Enjoy!

MSG, You've Been Rondo'd

When Rondo plays like this, he's without question in the debate for the top point guard spot in the league. 15 points. 20 assists. 11 rebounds. First playoff triple-double in MSG since some guy named Jordan in 1993. New single-playoff game assist record for the Celtics.

People thought MSG was gonna be rocking. You know, inspire the Knicks to victory. Hell, I'll admit, I was worried that it was gonna turn into the MSG of old. Well understand this New York bandwagoners. Melo isn't Bernard King, no matter how many 42 point games he has. Billups isn't Earl Monroe, no matter how many times people try to force the nickname, "Mr. Big Shot". Amare isn't Willis Reed. Willis Reed ate back spasms for breakfast, and would kick Amare's ass with both legs broken.   (Now that I think about it, bandwagon fans have no idea who those legends even are. Pathetic.)  This isn't a championship team. Try as hard as you want to convince yourselves, these guys by themselves are not bringing a championship back to MSG. Not with Jared Jeffries and Bill Walker flanking them. 

Maybe if they sign CP3 or Deron, they'll have a shot. But until then, enjoy these first round exits. 

A Post About Golf

Mike asked me to write about golf, and why not now right after a exciting finish at the Masters and Tiger Woods starting to regain his old form.

First the Masters: Overall it was an exciting last day of golf, with Rory McIlroy collapsing and some random South African guy winning. (I believe his name was Charl, a strange misspelling of Carl) Charl made a great run with plenty of birdies to end it, but it was a bit awkward because he was in the second to last group and had to wait until McIlroy and Angel Cabrera finished. There is no solution to this problem, and golf does it the best way possible, but there is nothing more exciting then the final pairing coming up to the 18th green with each putt having the Green Jacket hanging on it.

Now on to Tiger: Do I think what Tiger did was wrong? Absolutely! Do I cheer for him now? No doubt! There is nothing better than someone doing the time for the crime they committed, and no one has done that more than Tiger Woods. (besides maybe Michael Vick) Woods has paid the price for his actions, and to see him bounce back and make noise at a major is not only exciting but also great for the sport. The biggest difference I have noticed with Woods is that he seems more open to talking with the press, and I think he understands is that the best way to fix his image is to get out there and interact with the viewers. Although Woods interview was anything but charming after his finish on 18, at least he was willing to talk.

So there you go, and you thought I only know NHL. Feel free to comment below with what you think of Woods now.

This One's For America

Where you at Canada? Still dancing around, making awful Wiz Khalifa parodies? Didn't think so. Chalk another one up for Uncle Sam. See you in back in Boston.

Also, big ups to my boy Patrick Kane and the Blackhawks, making the US of A proud tonight with an absolute beatdown of those scrub Canucks from Vancouver. I smell a comeback. Canadians don't have the killer instinct. Only blind Patriotism could have me paying attention to hockey like this. I love it. 

While I'm here, I'm making my picks for the NHL's first round. Obviously I'm ridiculously late to the punch, but I still don't know much about hockey so it's like I don't know what the series are at anyways.

Boston over Montreal in 6. Boston is hot. Montreal is French. Hint: Canada losing will probably be a theme. 

Chicago over Vancouver in 7. Defending champs going out in the first round? Not an American team. After what I'm seeing tonight, they can rock the Canucks for the next two games for the W.

Anaheim over Nashville in 6. I think it's clear why I'm making this pick. It's the goalie!

Tampa Bay over Pittsburgh in 7. Not a fan of Pittsburgh. And Crosby and Malkin are out? Not cutting it for me. I still don't get who actually watches hockey in Tampa. They barely watch baseball there.

Washington over New York in 6.  That OT loss was a backbreaker for the Rangers. Choked it away. The Russian takes it.

San Jose over Los Angeles in 6. I really just don't like Los Angeles. That's all I've got for this one. Sharks are bad ass too. 

Apparently I missed the boat on Detroit over Phoenix. Would've picked a sweep anyways, Phoenix sucks. 

Buffalo over Philly in 6. Big ups to Ryan Miller, who's basically the only player I know on either team. Guy's an American hero. Also, I hate Philly. Nothing good has come from that shithole except this. 

What's up Chris? I thought you were the hockey guy? Maybe just start blogging about golf or something, I've got this. 

I'll Take It

Sure, we were playing Carmelo and the kids from Rebound. But a win is a win. Get the brooms ready.

That was honestly a surreal performance by Melo. Some of those shots were absolutely absurd. But honestly, in the biggest moment, he's gonna dump it off to Jared Jeffries? Where's the killer instinct? Also, how about the Knicks just chilling and letting 3.5 precious seconds run off the clock before they fouled. Got to love the coaching there. Guess that's the difference between a championship team and, well, a #6 seed. See you in MSG kids.

PS. KG hit a clutch shot instead of Ray or Paul Pierce. Pleasant surprise.

You're Kidding Me, Right Prisco?

Mr. Prisco of CBS Sports decided to write up his top 100 players in the NFL. That's cool. I can get behind a list where my boy Peyton is at the top yet again. But Prisco had something up his sleeve.

"1. (tie) Peyton Manning, QB, Indianapolis Colts and Tom Brady, QB, New England Patriots: How can you pick between them? Rings? Advantage to Brady, but Manning won the last one of the two. MVP awards? That goes to Manning. Numbers? Manning. You make the call."

Are you f****** kidding me? This is outrageous, egregious, preposterous. Pick one! I'd be less upset if you picked that little ninny Brady.  Be a man and make your own decisions. What's the point of making a list in the first place if you're just going to hand out ties? That's like giving medals out for participating in a youth basketball league, it diminishes the use of a medal. What kind of self-respecting kid is going to show-off a medal that he received even though he went 0-25 and his only points came on his own basket? Maybe Brady as a kid now that I think about it. Either way, your list lost all credibility in my eyes Prisco. May God have mercy on your soul.

It's Baseball Season, Baby

Because no one cares about the NHL and its Canadian thugs, and because no one cares about the NBA playoffs six weeks before Kobe will win another title, we should all be excited for the return of America's pastime: baseball. And by pastime, I mean America's second favorite sport. And by sport, I mean a game played by guys who look like this.

Although only about 15 games in to an impossibly long 162 game schedule, there are still lessons that can be gleaned from the first two weeks of action. And, of course, there are stupid predictions to be made from these lessons. Without further ado, here are six bold, random observations/predictions that will inspire debate (and page hits!), but will prove absolutely true:

• Don Mattingly has already proven to be a better manager than Joe Torre.

Being a Yankee fan all my life, I've been conditioned to love Joe Torre. I've been taught to love and admire his zen-like approach to the game, his calm, easy-going demeanor, and his subtle nose picks that seemingly always are caught by the camera. But, being a manager involves two things: managing games and managing egos. Torre was the best, maybe ever, at the latter. He could not do the former.

The former Yankees, Mets, Braves and Dodgers coach notoriously blew out relievers arms by overworking them and never knew how to juggle his lineup. His batting ARod eighth in the 2006 ALDS ruined the third baseman's confidence and the team's chances. Likewise, his treatment of Matt Kemp has bewildered even the biggest Torre supporters.

Kemp is arguably the best outfielder in the National League and has been among the elite for a few seasons. Yet, during Torre's reign, Kemp repeatedly batted at the bottom of the lineup, usually eighth.

This year, led by Mattingly? The league's best center fielder has batted cleanup every game. As of games up to April 18, he's clubbing an incredible .474 (27/57) with 3 home runs, 12 RBIs, and 3 steals.

• Derek Jeter will never completely return to form. But, he’s still the most indispensable Yankee.

Being a Yankee fan (and a human being), I'm an enormous fan of the Yankee captain. Jeter's always been a class act, a great leader and a fantastic baseball player, but New York fans must come to this sad realization: he is not a steroid user. Before Barry Bonds and Mark McGuire and the like came along, players actually got worse as they aged. The shortstop will be 37 in June, and 37 year-old non-juicers don't hit .320 with 25 home runs.

Nonetheless, let's be real: Jeter can continue to hit .241 and show little to no power and the Yankees will still most likely make the playoffs. And when October rolls around, he will continue to prove he's the most clutch player of his generation. The Yankees need him for a month, not a season; let's let him deal with his struggles and admire him again in October. Or, we can admire him for this now.

• Carl Crawford (.127, 0 home runs, 1 RBI) will be just fine.

Red Sox fans, I get it, really. I've dealt with Mark Teixeira for the past two seasons. I know Crawford's .127 batting average, 0 home runs and measly 2 steals do not scream success. But, Crawford's still adjusting - remember, he's played his entire career in Tampa Bay. While the rest of the country got word of his prowess, I tend to believe Tampa Bay still isn't aware it has a baseball team. Crawford is now playing in an excellent lineup that can protect him and in front of an inspired, if hostile, fan base. Once he comes to terms with the radically different atmosphere, he will be the best left fielder in the American League.

• The Angels dramatically improved their chances this season by replacing Fernando Rodney with Jared Walden at closer.

Here's my biggest gripe with modern day closers: once one becomes a closer, he is forever a closer. The Fernando Rodneys and Brandon Lyons of the world are baseball's answer to the shitty, over-the-hill teachers who cannot be fired because they have tenure. The only reason Rodney was awarded the spot during spring training was because he had been a closer before. Just his being a closer was enough; the fact that he has largely failed as a closer was ignored. The Angels have already rectified their mistake, which is perhaps a testament to Mike Scioscia's brilliance. Walden is a young, up-and-coming reliever who, while untested, has loads of potential. Rodney, when tested, has continually failed the test.

• By not being God awful thus far, Gavin Floyd has assured himself a big year.

Floyd, the former highly-touted Philadelphia prospect, has found a nice niche for himself in the White Sox rotation. His overwhelmingly average 1-1 start with a 4.29 E.R.A. does not usually warrant a mention, except when when you consider his past - Floyd's an infamously slow starter. His career 6.01 E.R.A. in April is by far his worst, but after struggling out of the gate, he normally turns his season around. The warmer the weather, the hotter he tends to get, even boasting a 2.95 E.R.A. in June. If the trend holds true and his 4.29 E.R.A. is his worst month, he's in store for a breakout season.

• Pittsburgh will make a run at the wild card.

The Pirates have long been bottom-dwellers in the National League Central and for good reason: they possess the longest streak of losing seasons in professional sports with 18 (and counting). And yet, for once in a Buc's fan's life, there's hope. Andrew McCutchen and Jose Tabata form the most potent 1-2 outfield punch in the NL. If you don't know who Tabata is, learn his his name now. Thus far, he's the 9th rated player in Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball sporting a .320 batting average, 3 home runs and 8 stolen bases. McCutchen's begun cooler, batting .250 with 3 home runs and just 1 steal, but he's too talented for those numbers to continue. Neil Walker, their young second baseman, is also turning into a nice offensive player. Their pitching remains an issue, but with a solid defense and up-and-coming offensive talent, Pittsburgh will be a force to be reckoned with.

Man Crush of the Week

Before last night, I wasn't sure who the hell was going to win the coveted inaugural "Man Crush of the Week" award. (Keep in mind, this is restricted to only sports, and is based primarily on their performances, not their looks or muscular physique. Most of the time. Basically it's not gay. Not that there's anything wrong with that.) Then, this happened:

Well, that settled it. Ray Allen, congratulations. I'm sure this is an award you will cherish for the rest of your life. Now, just do this for the rest of the playoffs and you'll have about 50 more of these considering how long the NBA Playoffs tend to run.  And the way the Celtics played most of that game, we'll be needing you.

And just to address it since most people are talking about it, yes, that was a foul on Carmelo Anthony. Do I think it should have been called? Not that late in what was a physical playoff game. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad it was called and strutted around afterwards praising the brilliant NBA officiating, but if they called something like that on Paul Pierce I would've found that referee and tried to shove his whistle down his throat. What made it particularly hilarious was the hip check KG dropped on Tony Douglass the next time down the floor, which miraculously wasn't called.

Honorable Mention: Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Troy Tulowitzki, Ryan Miller, Brian Scalabrine


PS. I'll gladly accept any nominations for athletes for "Man Crush of the Week". Email them in.

NHL Playoff's Update

In the same style as Mike did below, I'm going to quickly fly through the NHL playoffs so far:

-Defending Cup Champs Chicago Blackhawks are on brink of elimination, and it should come as no surprise. Chicago backed their way into the playoffs and lost a lot of key parts from last years team. They had a chance of winning Sunday's game but once Vancouver killed that 5 on 3 in the first I knew the Canucks were taking it.
-Kings vs Sharks has turned out to be one of the best series so far, and Drew Doughty had one hell of a game on Saturday (2G-2A, and yes he is a defenseman)
-Phoenix has dug itself into too big of a hole in both of the first two games and I don't see any chance of them coming back against the Red Wings
-The Preds are the team I'm cheering for out West, and they won a crucial one against the Ducks to go up 2-1. Also gotta love the atmosphere in Nashville of all places. Hope to see Shea Weber in an Islanders jersey next season.
-I didn't think the Caps were gonna sweep the Rangers, but I also didn't think the games would be as close as they are right now. Thankful to get Comcast Sportsnet DC because I don't wanna miss a single game for the remainder of that series.
-Shocked! That's how I feel about the Bruins being down 2-0 to the Habs. I had the Bruins winning the whole thing but they have run into a wall called Carey Price (65 saves on 66 shots)Claude Julien could be the sixth coach to see a pink-slip this offseason.
-Love the Sabres and Ryan Miller, but don't know if they can hold on against the Flyers. I see that series going to seven games.
-Could Crosby be back before the Pens series against the Bolts is over? Who knows, but without him I think Stamkos is too much.

Also, for those of you in the DC or NY area, pretty cool video up on the CSN website. Check it out here. It's in regards to that second period no goal as the horn sounded.

That's all for now, Mark claims to have a post coming today and maybe a podcast today too, although the weather forecast says 75 and sunny so don't get your hopes up on that.

Any Questions?

Sorry Reggie Miller. You had your fun in the top spot. But if I'm down two with ten seconds to go, I'm getting the ball to Ray 11 times out of 10. Welcome to playoff basketball New York. You celebrate in the first half. Ray and the Celtics will be taking the win home every time. Suck it Spike.

While I'm at it, a few random thoughts about the NBA Playoffs so far:

- Well played Amare Stoudemire. Sure everyone was excited about Melo, but when it mattered Amare sacked up. He was doing it before Melo got there too. 28 points, 11 rebounds. A lot of respect for the guy.
-Speaking of respect, Chris Paul is an absolute monster.  In LA: 33 points, 14 assists, 7 rebounds.  Personally, I think he's going to wear down.  LA is too strong to lose a 7-game series to what is almost a one man show. But if he pulls it off? Has to be one of the best playoff performances of all time. I do hate that Powerade commercial though. Awful.
- Grizzlies over the Spurs? Honestly not too shocked. Surprised sure, but the Grizz have been hot. Manu was injured. RJ has to hit that three at the end of regulation though. C'mon now.
-I've made my opinion on Dwight and the Magic relatively clear.
-Derrick Rose might walk on water.
-Aside from Ray Allen's three, this may be the best play of the playoffs so far.  Sucks they couldn't stick with the Heatles though. God I hate Lebron.
- The Mavericks are capable of closing a playoff game. Who knew.

Overall, this is why I love the NBA.

Well, Dwight Howard's Leaving in 2012

Did you see that box score? Absolutely absurd. 46 points (on 16-23 shooting) and 19 rebounds? In a loss?! I guess that's what happens when you have Gilbert "Suns Out Guns Out" Arenas and some Turkish guy as your wing men.  I'm just looking forward to welcoming Dwight to the Boston Celtics in 2012. 

Orlando is overrated anyways.  Aside from Disney World and Tiger Woods, nothing actually goes on there. It's not even as cool as Miami or as old-people friendly as Tampa Bay. The place sucks Dwight.

PS. If I'm TMZ, and Chris is the Post, then Sanchez is a sub-par nudie magazine. No newsworthy content, just a lot of strange and offensive stuff to look at. And after you skim through it, you feel a little sick to your stomach. Screw you Sanchez, go bang a 17-year-old. She wasn't even hot buddy.

And We're Off!

With my inaugural post I'd like to tell you exactly why you should keep coming back to this blog: our diversity. And by diversity, I don't mean this. Or this. I mean that we are diverse with our three unique viewpoints and three distinct manners of expressing these viewpoints.

As you probably can already tell, Mike Gasper is the resident douche bag of the blog. The Deadspinniest writer of us three, Gasper is the most concerned with the shallow aspects of sports. When you need the latest updates on Tom Brady's haircut or Brett Favre's dick pics, Gasper will be there for you. And when you just want to be yelled at, occasionally in all caps, Gasper will happily oblige.

Chris Leyden is the hardest worker of our trio. If Gasper is TMZ, Chris is the Washington Post. He's very professional in his writing style and will give you the facts along with his informed opinions. He will also cover the NHL, which is more than can be said for Gasper and me. Chris is the most experienced and is a great asset to us and to you, our loyal readers.

Finally, I'm somewhat of a happy medium between the two. I will always be here to critique Gasper's absurd theories and laugh at how serious Chris takes each post. But I will also give you top-notch sports coverage, ranging from fantasy baseball to real baseball to college basketball to the NFL. That is, if there is still is an NFL. And look at that! We're talking sports! Glad to meet you, everybody.

Why The NBA Needs To Start Rigging Its Games Like The NHL

I found out today that the NBA playoff seeding is set, and one of the first round match-ups pits the New York Knicks against the Boston Celtics. 

The rivalry between New York and Boston is the best in most other sports (Jets-Pats, Yanks-Sox) so I can assume that the same can be said about the NBA. The problem I have with this first round match-up is that not only will one of these teams not be moving to the second round, but there is a lot less on the line right now.

Had these teams met in the Eastern Conference Finals, or even the second-round, I would have been much more interested in the series. Instead I find myself upset that there is no chance both the Knicks and Celtics will make it to the final four in the East.

I understand there are really five big teams in the east (Knicks, Celtics, Bulls, Heat, Magic), but I would much rather see the Bulls or Magic playing the Knicks instead of the Celtics.

The NBA needs to take a page out of the NHL's book and rig the seeding. How else do you think the reigning Stanley Cup Champion Chicago Blackhawks sneaked in at the last second?

I wasn't planning on watching much of the first round of the NBA playoffs anyway, the NHL ones are much better, but I have even less of an incentive to watch the NBA playoffs as they get deeper knowing that either the Knicks or Celtics will be gone.

Go Bruins (i.e. America)

I don't watch a lot of hockey. That's just the fact of the matter. It could be because 90% of the games aren't even on TV, but that's neither here nor there. But one thing is for certain: I love America. And I will die a slow painful death before I see those scumbag Canadiens take out the proud city of Boston. The home of Paul Revere, the Boston Tea Party, and Michael Scott. Not on my watch. I'm with the Bruins. Hopefully Bobby Orr can carry the team to a title.

PS. Just did some research. That Chara guy is a straight thug. And the Canadian police tried to have him arrested? Typical of America's hat.


PPS. Podcasts will come out soon enough. Weather was too nice today. We'll figure it out.

This is the NHL's Golden Boy?

Well this guy won a playoff game tonight in OT by a score of 2-1 over the Rangers. Sure, he's kind of a bad ass, but I'm not sure how much longer I can take a Russian being the best player in an American sport, or some crybaby Canadian for that matter, but they're still both better than this shit. Basically, I just wish Brian Scalabrine played hockey too.

Welcome

So if you have stumbled upon this blog you must be really addicted to clicking the next blog button in the corner. Anyway we are still under construction, but big things are coming, starting tomorrow!

You can look forward to a podcast regarding the NHL Playoffs, the NBA Playoffs and probably some posts about whatever other random stuff is going on in the sports world.

Until then you can admire the sweet background and sign up for email updates. Don't forget to vote for the Stanley Cup winner on the right side of the page.
