Steve Lyons was just on the Score’s Drive This and he may’ve stepped in another pile of shit. While discussing the social habits of his former teammate Ozzie Guillen, Lyons began telling a story about how he and Guillen fleeced a couple of Texans when they were teammates in Chicago. After seeing some big Texans tossing past a bar’s Speed [...]

Mad Cappin’: Northeast Style
The big winners of 07’s Free Agency. So excited they actually began to look alike. To a horrifying degree.
Being that the NHL’s Free Agent Signing Period begins in three days (On Canada Day!!! How demeaning!!), I figured I’d use my limited knowledge to analyze the NHL’s Northeast Divisions’ cap situation*. It’ll be similar to a TSN [...]

I Hate the Roc Boys
The story of the CDR experience: So Close
Wow. What a couple days. First the JOdeal and now this. After hopelessly abandoning the 17 due to the supposed futility of landing Rush or CDR, the lengthy Junior from Memphis nearly falls to us at 41only to be robbed at 40 by the villainous rebuilders, the New Jersey Nets. Shit, that [...]

The Ambiguously Diverse Duo
Air Canada Centre, the year 2008.
Chris: JO, welcome to the TO, boy!!! Psyched to have you with us man. Big things this year, big things!!
Jermaine: Ahh (runs hand through third hairstyle of day), certainly cBO. Me, yous, Jose, AP, Kapones*…I’m looking forward to it.
Chris: Ye, ye, not having Teej around’ll be tough (plays with 2nd hairstyle of afternoon), but you’re sure [...]

Soft Yanks
Looking at the recently revealed USA Dream Team V or whatever the shit it is now, it appears to be pretty soft round the post. Why did the “mecca” of basketball minds choose to carry 3 point guards, 3 shooting guards, and 3 small forwards yet only 3 PF/C types? Seems like an odd choice, [...]

JO to TO? Please BC
The Key to the Treasure Chest of ‘010
Too many acronyms? Who cares, the Raps may soon have the best frontcourt in the Eastern Conference. According to the Indianapolis Star (via the Arsenalist), Jermaine O’Neal could become a member of the Toronto Raptors. And we’d get rid of TJ Ford? Outtttttstanding.
The Star is reporting that a TJ-Rasho-17 package could [...]

A Stoppage Scandal in the UFC? Nahhh…
Only two weeks after the MMA elitists reigned down allegations of match-fixing upon EliteXC, the UFC ironically appears to be in the midst of a controversy themselves. Last nite, during the Ultimate Fighter Final between Amir Sadollah and CB Dalloway, some premature stoppage was definitely in play. After idiotically taking Amir to the ground, which he [...]

The Embarrassing NHL Draft
Greasy mop: check. 170 pounds: check. Incapable of proper tie technique: check. This guys like me 4 years ago.
While the NBA and NFL Drafts are must-sees for me, I had never watched the NHL Draft in it’s entirety*. This injustice of my life had to be corrected so last nite, I made the noble attempt. Instead [...]

The Degradation Begins
Sarah Taylor eases the pain
Was just flipping through the channels and happened to land on the 2008 MMVAs. Since it’s a Canadian production, I felt it my patriotic duty to continue watching the Mandy Moore of Music Networks’ (cause, you know Mandy is too wholesome. But thats not really relevant) annual shindig. It’s usually decent and I always [...]

Jamal the Meek
Was searching for the latest news on Jamal Crawford, since you know, the TJ deal is pseudo-imminent, and found this interesting piece from the Associated Press. Supposedly, the rocky relations between D’Antoni and Crawford are officially over. The reason for the turn-around: A Phone Call. Huh…
Besides the surprising ease of gaining Jamal’s allegiances, the first line [...]
