Over here, in these precincts, there is no real choice when it comes to the Final Four and the NBA playoffs. One game is played by boys, the other by men. Get that weak Butler stuff outta here, please. Championship teams – or runner-ups – do NOT shoot 34 percent when it matters most. Unless Read More

Richard Hamilton. I hesitate to even go into it at this point because it’s too easy. This post is probably a few years late. Of course I hate Rip now. We’re 20 games under .500 and headed straight for the lottery. He’s old and overpaid and well past the modest prime he achieved following the Read More

ESPN recently aired a piece on Myron Rolle, the standout defensive back for Florida State who would have been a likely first-rounder in the NFL draft, but who put it off for a year after he was awarded a Rhodes scholarship.

That is Alex Tyus, and this is his tremendously tragic hairline. Now, there is nothing wrong with a receding hairline.  It’s life.  It happens.  But Read More

Gilbert Arenas is much better at playing basketball than he is being funny. Because Arenas is really awful at the latter, it may have something to do with why he won’t be doing the former for an indefinite amount of time. That things have gone so poorly for Arenas during a time of crisis is Read More

Egads. This shirtless man is flexing his muscles on the cover of a magazine. In a skull cap. Won’t someone think of the children?: Apparently, I’m supposed to be outraged or disgusted or something. Look at that picture: Annie Leibovitz is clearly trying to portray Tiger Woods as some sort of “sex-addicted thug” or  “ass Read More
