I am well aware that the National No-Fun League sets their teams' schedule, at least opponent wise, years in advance, but that doesn't change the fact that it doesn't really seem fair that the 18-1 New England Patriots have the easiest strength of schedule for the upcoming 2008 season - by far. The Pats are playing teams with a combined .387 winning percentage from last year; here is a list of all of the teams' strength of schedule. (SOS) The Money Shot offers his opinion on why Jason Giambi... Read Full Story
One year ago today tragedy struck the Virginia Tech campus as innocent students were killed for seamlessly no reason at all. As a college student at another big state university I can definitely empathize with all of the students of Virginia Tech and just wish to send my deepest condolences to the entire Virginia Tech Hokie community. April 16th will forever be a reminder to the tragic incident and it should remind us all of the fact that things like sports and material possessions don't... Read Full Story
Congratulations to Trevor Immelman, this year's Masters Champion, the second South African to ever win the tournament, as CBS announcer Jim Nantz pointed out about five hundred times over the course of the final round. Most of the blog posts that I have read about the 2008 Masters in the last two days are focused on Immelman and bashing Tiger Woods, and rightfully so. Tiger Woods didn't execute in the clutch on Sunday, let alone the entire week, yet was still able to finish in second place... Read Full Story
Earlier this morning, Denver Nugget fans probably woke up as jubilant as ever after the Nuggets handily beat the Houston Rockets yesterday 111-94, all but almost guaranteeing a playoff berth. This afternoon when these same people come home from work they probably won't feel quite the same after learning their beloved star Carmelo Anthony was arrested on suspicion of DUI. Anthony's lawyer was quoted as saying, "Like anyone in a similar situation, Carmelo has to wait for the results of the... Read Full Story
Other than the fact that I don't know how to skate well at all and I can't shot a hockey puck, the main reason why I don't play hockey is because I don't want to lose part of my manhood. During the third period of game 1 of the first round NHL playoff series between the Washington Capitals and the Philadelphia Flyers, Flyers' left wing Patrick Thoresen dropped to the ice with about six and a half minutes to go in the game. In effort to block a shot, his testicles were seriously injured... Read Full Story
If you didn't see just watch, especially the 'Dirk didn't deserve the MVP' haters.Please, I am begging you... Let me just start by applauding Deron Williams of the Utah Jazz because he was truly the reason that the Jazz were even in the game at the end, but Dirk just one up'd him. Dirk Nowitzki showed great poise in the fourth quarter of the Mavericks' 97-94 victory tonight combining with Jason Terry to score 25 of the team's 30 fourth quarter points. In this Western Conference any team... Read Full Story
Last week there was some speculation that Brett Favre might come back to the NFL for a team other than the Green Bay Packers, but Favre quickly shot those rumors down. This time the stir is being caused by Favre from an interview a few days ago. In a news story from Biloxi's Sun Herald he interviewed with a reporter and said that he might come back next season for the Packers, if they need him. (Here Favre Goes Again) The Masters, one of golf's great tournaments, starts today and Awful... Read Full Story
Here is your fifth installment of a new column called 'Top 10 Things In Sports', a new weekly article that I write. Every time we go to sports games there are always fans holding signs that try to be funny, be offensive, or get themselves on tv. Here is your list of the Top 10 Awesome Fan Signs at live sporting events. Needless to say, most of these signs probably didn't get on tv. #10 The Biggest Idiot Ever It's a great sign, but the stupid egg roll one next to it kind of diminishes it... Read Full Story
Today the Olympic torch will take a stroll through the city of San Francisco in it's only U.S stop before heading to the Beijing Olympics later this year. If you are in the San Fran area this morning I encourage you to make a cool sign and join the protest. Maybe you'll get on TV. Google has even made a guide for the international traveling protestor. (Google's Guide to Protesting the Olympic Torch) This time of the year there are always tons of stupid brackets made, but 'Why Don't we Get... Read Full Story
The last few weeks John Calipari, Memphis basketball coach, has declared war on the media. Anytime anyone in the media has brought up the free-throw situation to Calipari he has done his best to rip them to pieces and go on the defensive. Do yourself a favor and watch these videos so you lose all respect that you once had for John Calipari. Here is an interview with a guy on ESPN news, and you almost have to feel bad for the guy. Johnny boy tore him to shreds. Here is a separate video of... Read Full Story
