Some sad new for any Playstation 3 owners out there: Your console is a $600 piece of crap. No, seriously.
I remember back in college when my roommate bought a PS3 soon after it was released. He refused to buy a second controller or more than one game (both were too expensive, he said) and he […]

Al touched on the creepiness of these NBA commercials not too long ago, but this one featuring Kevin Garnett and Lebron James caught my eye for a different reason. It’s that first line: “I remember seeing Bird win it all.” Let’s do the math, shall we? Bird and the Celtics won the NBA Championship in […]

I can’t decide if this guy has incredible brass or is incredibly stupid — or if the video is even real. I’m thinking/hoping it’s a fake because, not only does this guy remind me of how much of a gigantic wuss I am, but it also shows that surfers are […]

OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a while now — but I’ve always found it interesting when SportsCenter decided to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as […]

You have to admire streakers; it takes an awful lot of courage to get completely naked and run in front of thousands of people knowing it will all end in you being tackled and getting arrested.
That being said, this YouTube clip of a streaker at an MMA match makes me think this guy is more […]

Travis Hafner has a fantastic nickname. It’s not one of those silly abbreviation nicknames. No, no T-Haf here. No sir, Travis Hafner is Pronk. In the minors, Hafner had two nicknames: Project and Donkey. Project Donkey already being a successful reality show on Bravo, the two names were combined to the sublime Pronk. I find […]

I have no idea what to make of the news that Tommy Lasorda was invited by President Bush to greet Pope Benedict in Washington this morning. Really, I’m still trying to get over the fact that this isn’t even the first Pope he’s met:
“Lasorda, who has frequently been called on to serve in dignitary roles […]

First impressions are hard. Usually forced, awkward, with all parties just wishing they could somehow just skip getting to know each other and just know each other. You know? Some first impressions are perfect, most are awkward, while some are just completely disasterous. With that in mind, what better way to […]

Because anything can be related to something from the Simpsons, immediately upon hearing that the NFL was considering banning long hair, I thought of how that would probably please Grandpa Simpson. “Look at them sideburns! He looks like a girl. Now, Johnny Unitas — there’s a haircut you could set your watch to.” The rule […]

Just like the Super Bowl, or any event that involves watching a ridiculous amount of television, the commercials have become an integral part of the March Madness experience. Perhaps even more so for March Madness. It isn’t just one event, it’s a series of weekends where one watches the same channel constantly, watching the same […]

I was looking for a video of Billy Crystal’s spring training at-bat so I could break it down. (He has a pretty good eye. I’m impressed that he took three pitches — I’d be swinging wildy at anything. Plus, he made contact! All-in-all, he did a pretty good job.) I found the video. Lucky for […]

Hilarious, hilarious impressions. As the Rockets continue to win without any regard for the records of their opponents, it appears that they’re having quite a bit of fun. Here’s a clip from the local FSN affiliate featuring Dikembe Mutombo’s teammates doing their best Dikembe. Not only is the video entertaining, it’s educational. I’ve learned that […]

Hey, remember this guy?
Of course you do, he’s Chris Andersen, the Birdman. His drug suspension is officially over, and NBA teams are free to sign him. The Hornets have the first shot at him, and are expected to add him to an already entertaining team.
“We were always more concerned with Chris Andersen the person […]

News, scores, highlights from the NBA.
- LeBron James and the Cavaliers took down the Bulls. The game can be summed in the following clip.
Visual aids are fun. Although, I still prefer the flying toasters screensaver, Mike Tirico.
- The Yao-less Rockets won their 15th straight and Dikembe Mutombo demonstrated that he is indeed still in […]

Now, I think we all agree that the pissing match between cable companies (Comcast among others) and league-specific cable channels (NFL Network, Big Ten Network) is pretty inconvenient. (Although, thankfully, it made me miss the Appalachian State game.) None of it is really permanently damaging. This is essentially business negotiations, and both parties are responsible […]

All in all, it was a generally ho-hum weekend for tackle football. There was an uninspiring game in London. The Patriots destroyed whomever they played. There wasn’t even a major upset in college football. (Considering this year, that’s actually quite noteworthy.) The NFL didn’t even have a night game. I thought Sunday Night was Football […]

My internet has been failing at life recently. My internet provider is Comcast. I had planned on not taking sides on the “Big Ten Network” issue. I thought both the cable company and the Big 10 were basically screwing the fan. They both are, but screw Comcast, I like having the internet be reliable. So, […]
