During the recent Eagles preseason game, I was chatting with my Funksysteme counterpart while Gary Papa was doing the post game show. We both remembered Gary Papa as a well groomed, lively eyed sportscaster with sometimes a little too much energy, forming a contrast between himself and his uninteresting interviewed players. It must […]
Its the international sports story of the year, british mega-celebrity David Beckham decided to accept a contract with the American Major League Soccer team, the Los Angeles Galaxy, and his first game is tomorrow, Saturday, July 21st. Any level minded American man with a shred of sports sense knows that soccer will not make […]
As I was visiting cnnsi.com to catch up on the Cavs-Spurs NBA finals series, the latest indication of America’s annual summer addiction to football was pressed up against the anger portion of my brain. The Bengal’s star wide receiver, Chad Johnson, raced a horse in a charity event recently. He wasn’t on the horse, but […]
For all you ladies out there, imagine your excitement when you are offered a free makeover or a free visit to a salon. I’m sure you females make those ‘wooo’ noises, and brush each others hair…or do whatever it is that you do when you get excited. Sports fans are given two such days during […]
Like clockwork, the NFL never fails to show its ignorance during the first few weeks of the off-season. Of course, I’m talking about the Pro Bowl. Its hard to watch a bunch of men playing a meaningless game of football while trying to avoid injury. Unfortunately, they don’t always succeed; Drew Brees […]
If there is one consistency with the Philadelphia Eagles, its that they perform well in the face of adversity…sometimes. In fact, I would go so far as to say that they only perform well in the face of adversity…usually.
In 2002, Donovan McNabb had one of the best games of his career. He played […]
The Nuggets sucker-punched their way into making the biggest NBA trade in years. Just days after their short-sighted brawl with the Knicks, the Nuggets filled the huge void left by suspensions with Allen Iverson.
The deal was simple, Allen Iverson goes to the Nuggets. In return, the Sixers get Andre Miller, Joe Smith, and […]
I’ve never punched a man out of anger, and I don’t claim to be able to fight. However, if I were 6′8″, 250 pounds, and have been lifting weights since I was 15 years old, I would be ashamed of myself if I faught like a 7 year old child engaged in a hissy […]
There was a time when I thought that I was pretty good at predicting results in the world of professional sports. I had a few successful sports predictions in the past that lured me into a false trust of my intuition. But over time I became fairly consistent in my wrongness, with sports […]
The 76ers are the best sports team that Philadelphia has right now, and in a few short weeks I believe that the NBA world will be calling them the surprise team of the year. How did this happen? Last season ended in failure and turmoil when the team failed to make the playoffs. […]
This should be a sad day for the city of Philadelphia. The influence of the Broad St. Bullies has officially and unceremoniously come to a sudden end when the ominous overlord of Flyers hockey, Bobby Clarke, resigned from his General Manager position. The news of today will focus on why he resigned, but […]
It should have been the story of the year for the NFL, as if they needed one. A community that has been ravaged by storms and political inadequacy for a year finally shines a glint of normalcy through the lens of the NFL. Finally the NFL has a story that deserves a media […]
