Greg Oden loves to party

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Greg Oden shows up everywhere! TheBigLead has a photo of a guy that looks like the Trailblazers center at the Indy 500. Then again I barely noticed as my main focus was trying to figure out who number 4 is. Basically Oden does what everyone his age loves doing. He ...

Fred Mitchell knocked the crap out of him

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

On Saturday night, I watched Tito Ortiz lose his last UFC fight and Wanderlei Silva absolutely destroy Keith Jardine with a vicious knockout less than a minute into the fight. Unfortunately I didn't get to watch this. Fred Mitchell (not the guy in the picture) struck Corey Wethey so hard ...

Kobe can jump over anything

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

First it was the moving Aston Martin and now it is a pool full of snakes. With the help of the Jackass Crew comes the new Hyperdunk video. My favorite part is when he pushes Wee-Man into the pool.

Perplexed Penguins

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Red Wings 3 Penguins 0 - Like every other team Detroit has stomped their way through in the playoffs, Pittsburgh can not figure out Chris Osgood. The hottest goalie in the game stopped another 22 shots for his third shutout this postseason, second of the Stanley Cup Finals. The Red ...

Celtics had no shot

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

Pistons 94 Celtics 75 - When you shoot 31% from the field, you rarely ever have a shot to win a game: let alone a Eastern Conference Finals game. So when the Celtics stayed within striking distance by getting to the free throw line you had to be amazed. Numerous ...

Slippery when wet

Monday, May 26th, 2008

The outcome of game 1 could have been foreshadowed with the Penguins first step on the ice. Penguins goalie Marc-André Fleury fell leading the Eastern Conference champs into their pre-game skate. With Chris Osgood stopping everything Pittsburgh shot at him and little talked about Mikael Samuelsson's two goals, the Red Wings ...

Time for some bocce!

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

It's Friday afternoon and we're going to call it a day. King Ing and Justin are heading up to Montreal for a weekend of debauchery (yes, a bachelor party) - and I'm heading to the liquor store to prepare for this weekend's bocce tourney. This week wraps up our first month ...

Dominicans like it Wilder

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Last week Dave Wilder, the Director of Player Personnel, was fired by the front office of the Chicago White Sox in the wake of an investigation by the Commissioner’s office inquiring into the skimming of bonus money from the signing of unrepresented players in the Dominican Republic. This wouldn’t be the ...

Detroit Red Wings v Pittsburgh Penguins

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Forget Obama and Clinton. Here's your real Dream Ticket. With the exception of having the Rangers play themselves in the finals, the NHL couldn't have asked for a better matchup. A dynamic young team, led by a pair of high scoring superstars, takes on a collection of old ...

Congratulations Chris and Christy Cooley

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Whether it be dressing in hot pants, building a "man room" in his house, or blogging; Chris Cooley makes things look like his namesake, "cool." He is also one very lucky man. Not only does he play my favorite sport, football; but tonight he also gets the honor of marrying ...
