A sports-herniated tale of groinal melancholy

I've recently come to grips with the fact that my budding career in the over 30 "B" League of the Asheville Buncombe Adult Soccer Association is probably over.

McNabb’s Plight Illuminates NAACP Ignorance

You could say sports are the most oft-used allegory in the lay-philosopher's explanation of life's meaning. We hear the sporting analogies too often. "Timmy, doing homework now is hard, but stay in the game, tough it out, and someday you'll be a winner." This is inevitably followed by, "Now if you need more help with your paper, ask your mother. I need [read more...]

Gone Yard: Terrell Owens, Savior of Sport

Terrell Owens, savior of sport. Five words that, according to Google, have never before in the history of the Internet been uttered together. And yet…it's possible.

The NFL is at mid-season, and unfortunately the biggest story so far has been the treatment of Donovan McNabb by the media.

Even if I wanted to, I have nothing intelligent to add to the discussion. What [read more...]

Don't get me wrong, I love a good advertisement. I laugh just thinking about the Nike streaker ad. During the NFC's big Super Bowl run in the 90's, the commercials [read more...]
