Wide receivers are, for the most part, strange men, but few take it as far as Chad Ocho Cinco. First… well, his name is Chad Ocho Cinco. He legally changed his name so he could have a different uniform. It’s been over a year and that’s still just mind-boggling. His quirks and antics were entertaining […]

If someone has a widget, and the operation of said widget begins to produce undesirable consequences, the logical course of action would be A) rectify whatever problems occurred, then B) fix the widget so those problems never happen again. Seems simple enough, right? Okay, let’s replace “widget” with “rule.” And then “someone” with “the NCAA.” […]

When ESPN/ABC Sports caught the flash-hyped Twitter fever during today’s Suns-Mavericks anti-climatic finale to Phoenix’s playoff chances, any viewer with the slightest amount of tech savvy cringed when Jeff Van Gundy and Mark Jackson rambled about Twitter in the same way they did when their parents first asked about “the Google”.

No worries, straight men with a crush on Bündchen, and “straight” […]

I’m not a gullible guy. I’ve never bought anything advertised on an infomercial because, come on, if it was so good, it wouldn’t be advertised only on Home and Garden TV at 4 a.m. But what would happen if those time shares in Boca were endorsed by Greg Gumbel? Sirs, here is a blank […]

First and foremost, Chicago is a city of curses. The political scene is cursed with Daleys, the Blackhawks are cursed to have the biggest Scrooge of an owner in professional hockey, and, first and foremost, the Cubs are cursed by a billy goat who was denied entrance despite wielding his own ticket.

It was only a matter of time until Rangers enforcer/resident bad guy Sean Avery re-asserted himself as a resident enforcer/bad guy.
