Two High Schools with Class »
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. »
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!? »
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 »
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 »
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 [...]
Badass Baseball »
And sometimes Baseball is actually entertaining!
What they make, and what they do with it. »
Professional Sports Stars make WHAT?!?!
How Not to Handle a Management Decision »
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 »
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? »
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? »
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 »
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! »
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 »
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 [...]
