Writing on a new blog

Hey everyone, I’ve just started to write  a new sports blog here on WordPress; pretty much an “experiment.” If you have no clue on what I’m talking about, which I’m 100 percent sure you don’t (unless you’re psychic), check it out here.
With that out of the way, I’m going to be posting a lot of [...]

FrankTV?

Frank Caliendo’s my favorite comedian right now.
Sorry Jeff Foxworthy, Bill Engvall, Ron White and Larry the Cable Guy. You guys still reign as my top blue collar heroes of all time, but nobody in this world can impersonate more people than Caliendo. How many people can Caliendo nail — in terms of sports enthusiasts, politicians, [...]

Two in a row’s nice

The St. Louis Rams upended the 49ers today in what should have been a Rams’ blowout. Dominating statistically all the way through, the Rams’ offense imploded on different drives. The line played awful. Running plays were conspicuous. A whopping 90 percent of the Rams pass completions seemed to be out-routes to Torry Holt and Ike [...]

November..

November
No baseball.
No sun.
No shorts and a T-shirt.
No walking the dog in the clothes you woke up in.
No leaves.
No sports news.
The story on Ray “Boom Boom” Mancini truly strikes me.
November 9th’s feature story on SportsCenter about Mancini is weak. It’s bad for Mancini because it’s about a fight that ended in the death of a boxer. [...]

So this.. is what.. a win feels like

– November 11, 2007 
After nine weeks of waiting for my favorite football team (St. Louis Rams) to win its first game, they do it today when everyone expected them not to — against the red hot New Orleans Saints, who had won four straight games (after starting 0-4) coming into the game today.
Despite what the [...]

Walker, back to the Celtics?

I use to be a big fan of Antoine Walker back in the mid to late 90s. He was excellent. He was athletic, got after the ball, and of course — the shimmy was not outdated.
Now it’s 2007. Walker is fat. He’s overweight, obviously. I wouldn’t doubt it if Magic Johnson weighed less than him.
Many [...]

Timmeh’ D and the Spurs, handled by the Rockets

Much like in football when you win games by playing 60 minutes, in basketball you win games by hustling and playing proficient basketball for 48 minutes. The Spurs, who are usually accustomed to doing that, couldn’t handle the red hot Rockets last night. Really, I never put too much emphasis on early NBA games which [...]

Decimated? No, that’s an understatement in Football!

Yesterday, it was disclosed to everyone in the sports/NFL world that Rams’ DE Leonard Little was to have toe surgery and he would miss the remainder of the season. I didn’t even flinch. The Rams practically lose more players to injuries every day than the amount of break-ups in relationships.
Even though it’s irrelevant to Little and [...]

Shula: Patriots*16-0

I would imagine that Patriots fans are shaking their heads left-to-right at the moment if they have heard what legend head coach Don Shula has disclosed:
The Spy gate thing has diminished what they’ve accomplished,” Shula said in an interview with the NY Daily News. “You would hate to have that attached to your accomplishments. They’ve got [...]

A look at the so-far 2007 NFL Season

I’ve compiled a short, but verbose list about my favorite (and non-favorite) moments of the 2007 NFL season. While my two favorite teams, the St. Louis Rams and Miami Dolphins, have been hurting my fanhood, I still have more than enough reasons to be enjoying and/or gritting my teeth over the action-packed pro football season. Let’s [...]
