Chill Time……. and a Meebo Live Chat Schedule

People I have an admission to make…. I AM BURNT! To a crisp. I have tried to work through this feeling but I just cannot. Other than forced stoppages due to illness and health-related stuff I have been watching and writing sports non-stop for nearly three years.  And now it is time for a break - a real break.  This is a weird [read more...]

NBA Finals: Lakers Go up 2-0, Stan “Van Panics” in OT

ABC’s NBA Finals Game 2 telecast begins with… a Big Mac commercial. Here we go. Rafer begins the game with an ill-advised drive against Pau. KB misses a short J. Courtney Lee scores.

I was forced to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals on my DVR because I went to an incredible show Thursday night (guitarist Robin Tower, if you must know - think Jimi Hendrix… dude is almost 65 and still plays his ass off!). Anyway, thank goodness for DVRs….. here’s what I saw. It was evident from the first quarter that we [read more...]

NBA Finals, Los Angeles vs. Orlando: A Champion Will Be Crowned in Six Games

The primary characters want “It” for vastly different reasons.  Yet, the primary character want “It” for the same reason.

NBA Playoffs: LA-Denver, Game 6; Thoughts As the Game Progresses

Joe Crawford, Mike Callahan, Mark Wunderlich are tonight’s officials…. yikes! It’s going to be a difficult evening. The first play of the game andrew Bynum gets fouled by Nene Hilario off a lob from Trevor Ariza…. it’s going to be a long night for Bynum… Billups pushes Kobe and he gives a whatever look.

NBA Playoff: Denver-LA Game 4 Sure Looked Crooked from Here

J.R. Smith gets his stupid on. First, let me say that if the Los Angeles Lakers lose this series, on the player side, it will be because Lamar Odom refused to engage himself in the game. Other than two defende inbounds passes, Odom has played as if he is totally uninterested in basketball. Secondly, the Lakers, with Odom spearheading the lack [read more...]

LeBron Takes Over in the Second Half - and Cleveland Loses Game 1 at Home… An ESPN-NBA Refs Addendum

Don’t mess with Jesus even when Commisioner Gordon is in the house. - But if you’re looking for someone to blame, just look toward Cousin Vinny.

While Gordon was dropping in buckets from every possible angle from the moment he stepped on the court, Allen [read more...]

Izzo Lets Sparty Nation Down

Congratulations to Roy Williams and his North Carolina basketball team for winning the big NCAA chip Monday night.But. Just what did Michigan State head coach Tom Izzo think he was doing?
