The NFL is now Broken

4. March 2010

Many believed the invent of free agency destroyed the National Football League years ago as true rivalries died. Why? Apparently if there is a chance that the guys standing across from you might be your teammate the following year then you are less likely to try to kill him this year. Sort of a silly [...]

Curling

23. February 2010

As I may have referenced before some friends of mine and I were watching Curling the other day and were totally fascinated however not one of us had any clue what was going on. Being men we of course had loads of comments regarding the game even when we had no idea what the rules [...]

Not Your Grandmother’s Figure Skating

22. February 2010

The Olympics are here in case you didn’t know. The funny thing I have noticed is how often people are pointing out just how hot everyone is – even the Curling Teams. So we did a quick lookup and found ANNA SEMENOVICH – easily the hottest figure skater to ever walk the ice. Why do [...]

NFC Nightmare

25. January 2010

Am I the only one who was totally grossed out by the NFC championship game? 1) Brett Favre got hit more times than Ali in the Thrilla From Manilla. 2) Minnesota Vikings almost won the game in spite of having something like 8 turnovers. 3) New Orleans Saints, possessing one of the best offenses in the history of the NFL, [...]

The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! The Patriots Lost! LOLLAPALOOZA! God I hate them.

Redskins Funny Spammer Style

22. December 2009

So we got an amusing spam posted this morning on a college football article I posted a couple weeks back. The Spammer calls herself “Download The Lovely Bones” and this is what she wrote, which I can’t argue against: “Redskins haven’t looked this bad since Steve Spurrier was the coach. Another well thought out hire by Daniel [...]

Eenie Meenie Miney Mo

10. December 2009

Epictetus, considered the Grand Poobah of the Philosophical Movement called Stoicism which originated in the Hellenistic Era of that great freaking failed social experiment otherwise known as the Roman Empire, once remarked “Control thy passions lest they take vengeance on thee”. This quote is stated, or rather invoked, with full authority as I am [...]

College Football – Shamtastic!

7. December 2009

Die hard college football fans will tell you that college football is more exciting and interesting that pro football. Dynasties in college ball often stay that way, whereas a dynasty team in the NFL can change almost over night due to free agency. What they like to leave out of their raw raw chant is [...]

Grabbing the Poetry of William Blake by the Tail

3. December 2009

Blake (1757-1827) as vehicle for juxtapositional integration within Tiger Wood’s world o’ shame. A not-so-eloquent mash-up of spatial, temporal, and cultural dimensions delivered to you via parsimonious measure: Tiger, tiger in the night Ain’t the press a crock of shite Watch our hydrant! Watch out tree! Gallant Fairway Warrior bleeding from bended knee How could thou be so bold When [...]

I Hate The Patriots

1. December 2009

…. And thus I am thrilled that they got killed by New Orleans. LOL. Did I say it? Yes. LOL. I also think that Tom Brady is one of the most overrated quarterbacks of all time. Now someone please stop saying that The Patriots are America’s Team – We have many teams, it is my [...]

Two High Schools with Class

20. September 2009

This story almost made me weep. I will let you read it for yourself as me paraphrasing it will not give it justice – suffice it to say I was inspired with hope by the actions of two High School Football teams including their coaching staffs and players. My hat is off to both of [...]

Vagina or no Vagina, that is the question.

19. August 2009

In sports – I can’t make this up, they are now questioning whether or not a track athlete is in fact a female. What I donm’t understand is why so many people have to be involved to figure it out. Here is a small slive of the artilce I linked to here: “The test requires [...]

Readers, Are You Ready for Some Fantasy Football!?

10. August 2009

Howdy reader! BB is getting together an NFL fantasy football league, probably ESPN.com. Email us at blinkinblogs@gmail.com with your team name and email address and we will get this thing going! These surely are dog days for sports – no NBA, who-gives-a-crap early MLB, and the NFL is just starting preseason. *SIGH*

Michael Vick

28. July 2009

Let me start by saying the following: in the history of the NFL there have been few players as physically talented as Michael Vick. I can name a few, Bo being one (if you don’t know who that is stop reading) and Barry Sanders another – but the comparisons are not important and will end [...]

Frank DeFord

15. July 2009

I have never kept it a secret that I listen to National Public Radio (NPR). My highlight is on Wednesday morning when Frank DeFord gives his 2-5 minute commentary on the Sports world. I strongly suggest you listen – not only is he well spoken, but I find him to be funny as hell in [...]

How Not to Handle a Management Decision

16. March 2009

True story: I have a friend whom I will call Juan. He was browsing the local Craigslist job postings and found one at his company that read suspiciously like his position. Juan was unaware of any dissatisfaction with his job, and knew for certain they would not hire a backup or coworker. So he [...]

Motivation – the Primary Trait of Sports Excellence

10. March 2009

I was playing video games the other day, and I started thinking about Tiger Woods. No, I wasn’t playing Tiger Woods golf. I bought that for the Wii and sold it a week later – it was too dry and clinical. I felt like I was performing brain surgery outside. No, I was playing Battlefield:Bad [...]

Terrell Owens – Whogivesashit?

8. March 2009

Am I the only one who is tired of hearing about this guy? If you haven’t heard already apparently Buffalo signed him - which means that their coaching staff, like the 900 before them on other teams, is under the impression that they can turn this ugly duckling into a swan. My bet is that [...]

A Rebuttal: Where to Start?

2. February 2009

I planned on simply commenting on Thrax’s Super Bowl post, but my epic ramblings merit their own post. First I’d like to agree with him on the bogus “America’s Team” designation pushed upon us by the Powers That Be. It seems to me that it is usually the team with the most wins, the fewest [...]

Football, Politics, and The Media

1. February 2009

I have grown to hate the media regarding sports, mostly football. I am tired of being told who America’s team is. I may have mentioned this before, but now its really getting stuck in my craw. In the 90’s The Dallas Cowboys were America’s Team, post 1999 it became the New England Patriots. Just recently [...]

Mark Eaton Would be Flabbergasted!

13. January 2009

I have been rejected – nay, denied! – from playing in this local basketball league. What is this motherfuckery, you ask? Well apparently you must have all Asians on your team in specific divisions where my friends want to play. The DreamLeague website offers me no explanations in the FAQ or rules and regulations. However, [...]

TMQ with TMI

18. November 2008

Tuesdays on ESPN.com, Gregg Easterbrook writes the “Tuesday Morning Quarterback” column, which is often tedious, rambling, and so undiluted as to be almost insurmountable. Nonetheless, his sports insight can be entertaining, but what I find interesting is that includes just as much non-sports commentary that is often smarter. An example from his latest: Why Are Taxpayers [...]

Open Letter to Golden State Warrior Fans:

18. June 2008

After witnessing the catastrophe that was last night’s Finals blowout, I would like to announce that Lamar Odom is now on the trading block – big time. After fudging around the ESPN Trade Machine, I came up with one scenario: Odom for Al Harrington and Brandan Wright. Yes, I am now willing to give you [...]

It’s floating…right there! Hit it already!

6. May 2008

I am a fan of most mainstream sports, but the worst kind of hockey fan. OK, I’m the second worst. The absolute worst type of “sports fan” is the bastard that hoards over his (her? really?) fantasy team like a liege lord, moving them in and out of lineups and cackling like the Crypt [...]
