Josh Hancock: A True Warrior

Most people think they can point and pick when they’re going to die. When you’re a kid, you set out goals in life, and push hard for them. As you grow older, you learn life lessons, and what’s important in life. That importance is finding a balance in what you love, and what you set [...]

Carriker a Ram

Be afraid.. be very afraid. I now present you, Adam Carriker, ladies and gentlemen. The newest addition to the St. Louis Rams.
Around 5 hours ago, the Rams drafted Adam Carriker, DE, Nebraska. I sat through the first two hours and thirty minutes being very anxious to see who my team would pick up, for our [...]

Recommended Books….

If anyone’s interested, I definitely recommend you guys checking out these books:
Now I can die in Peace by Bill Simmons. The Sports Guy, being one of my favorite and admirable writers, this was a must get for me. It’s an archive of his articles from 1998 to October 2004 of his beloved Boston Red Sox. [...]

Notes and Bits of the Week

- Starting off, I was playing basketball last night (and a little bit of the evening) with a friend of mine, 1 on 1, in about 6-7 games, and I was trying to make a complete up and under right around the basket, and slid on the gravels (yes, in my driveway), and my ankle [...]

Why I love Warriors fans/RIP David Halberstam

13 years and counting, the Golden State Warriors have been an illustrious team that isn’t even noted anymore. A team that really lost it’s reputation for the way they use to play like; the way they were known. The Golden State Warriors of the 1960’s and 1970’s were a feared team in the NBA. They [...]

The NBA’s MVP? The Answer!

It’s interesting on how the NBA Playoffs are getting ready to begin. While I plan to write an article, analyzing the playoffs, and breaking the series down, I wrote this (upcoming) articles a few weeks back (maybe a month ago), and it’s my explanation of who should be the Most Valuable Player of the 2006-2007 [...]

Hokies Grieving

Over the last couple of weeks, I’ve been reading a lot on the subject of the Columbine High School shootings that took place on April 20, 1999. I guess it was oh, maybe, March 26, I started looking into the subject. I just had feelings on the matter that day, and I was interested in [...]

The Reason We Watch Sports

I always get the sense that non-sports fans have trouble understanding why we sports fans care so much. In fact, sometimes I even forget why we care so much. But occasionally, a sports moment is so special that you immediately remember what it is that we love so much about sports. I remember watching the [...]

Playing the Bad Guy: Don Imus

Face it. Don Imus is one nappy-headed mofo himself. Nappy-headed huh? Really, I haven’t heard that term before in my entire life until Wednesday, April 4. Don Imus, on his radio show on NBC/CBS, commented on the womens national championship game, by saying (paraphrasing the whole quote) “Rutgers has some rough girls out there, with [...]

My Top 10 most hated teams of All-Time

My personal most hated hated list list contains teams I’ve disliked for quite a while. Quite a while in more general terms? Well, not “quite a while” but more than the last 3 years, and quality reasons to why I dislike these teams. If you’re fan of one of these 10, that’s unfortunate, but I’m [...]
