Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!! »

Ok, the sporting world is going nuts over Tim Tebow.
People either hate him or love him. There doesn’t appear to be a middle ground with him. I think he is proving a point that I have long advocated about the NFL.
The point being that the option can’t work in the NFL.
I truly believe [...]

Sandusky »

Assistant Coach Sandusky is in some hot water (creepy looking dude btw), boiling hot infested water with sharks and other not so nice teeth baring creatures. Why? The coach screwed little boys – well allegedly. The catch about the word allegedly here is that it implies that maybe something happened, we just aren’t sure, when in this [...]

Accidents »

If you have not heard, this weekend, during an Indy Car race in Las Vegas, there was a major accident that involved 15 of the cars. Dan Wheldon, a well known driver, was killed in this accident. Of course youtube is thriving with videos of the accident – macabre to be sure. The accident is [...]

NBA – Who Cares? »

It seems like it was just yesterday that people were talking about the NFL and how they would never get past their labor disagreement, talks, etc to such a degree that the season would be lost forever! Of course it wasn’t, in fact very little was lost – except for the fervor of the fans. Yes the [...]

Fantasy Football »

ARGGGG.
I am playing Fantasy Football again. GlazednConfused and I have a team that we manage together. Last year we won the Superbowl, made loads of money, and are at it again this year. The problem with winning the Superbowl is that the next year you get hosed on picks – meaning you go dead last. [...]

1.2 Billion Well Spent? »

Jerry Jones, aclaimed owner of the Dallas Cowboys, the NFL Franchise, complained for several years that his beloved team, the Pride of Texas (The Texans may not agree with that title) and America’s Team (The Patriots probably don’t like that title either), needed a better stadium to play in. He touted it on Television. He [...]

Slacker Alert! »

Apparently I am a slacker. I apologize for not having a new post in several days as I was literally on the road driving cross country. So what did you and I miss in this wonderful journey we are taking together? Strap in kiddies, uncle Thraxxus will take you on a wild ride through the [...]

Feeling Helpless? »

Often times in our lives we have these moments or time periods where we have a feeling of hopelessness or worthlessness. My father always says that whenever he feels like that the universe has an odd way of telling him to buck up little camper – usually this is done by a burn victim going [...]

A Frank Deford Piece »

This is a piece by Frank Deford. It is from NPR.org. I felt the need to share it as I agree with every drop of it. In recent times the heroes we once looked up to in the sports world have managed to fall from grace with a groaning thud. Deford addresses each one of [...]

Steinbrenner R.I.P. »

George Steinbrenner has died at the ripe old age of 80 of a heart attack. Steinbrenner was the bit of a controversial MLB team owner of the most valuable team on the earth: The Yankees. Early on Steinbrenner figured out that the more money he spent on players, the more championships the Yankees would win [...]

NBA Owners are slave masters »

Make me a slave!
but seriously…..Jason Whitlock has it right

- this is nothing but an attention grab by Jesse Jackson (What does this guys do anyway?) I’m sure he milk’s African Americans for more money than white folk…..
A Quote? “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality,” Jackson said in a statement released [...]

Lebron »

I find the whole idea of the super team in Miami to be totally ridiculous for Lebron. Why leave $30 million on the table so you can play with your “homies”? In the end – players are just entertainers. There is no loyalty in sports or business any more. If you [...]

FIFA – Welcome to the New Millennium! »

If you have been paying any attention at all to the drama that is the World Cup Futbol Event that is going on right now then you may have heard about the several blatantly bad calls made by a series of referees, many of whom most likely now have a price on their head in [...]

1-1!! New Zealand Ties Italy!!! »

In what is being called the biggest upset in World Cup History, and possibly sports history, New Zealand (going into this game ranked 76th in the world) tied Italy (Ranked 5th in the world)!!
To put this in perspective for Americans – A Junior College American Football Team Tied The defending Superbowl Champions – yes, its [...]

World Cup Futbol »

In the USA we call Futbol soccer – because we named a different sport football – one where only one guy on the field is allowed to kick the ball. Americans have always made sense. The World Cup is here and it is of course a big deal to the entire world – outside the [...]
