Total Eclipse of the BlogI looked over at my ihome sitting on my night table and the clock read 1:55 a.m. I wasn’t tired, so I decided to write. Instinctively, I thought about what was going on in the world of sports that I could turn into a joke. I was a little out of the loop today, you see, I was finishing a marathon of Heroes: Season 1. It’s amazing what I do with my days off – don’t judge me. Anyway, I went on the only website I knew that would have edgy and up-to-date news stories Read more...September 18, 2008 | 1 comments |

Excuses, excuses ... in life and sports
The real world is full of unpredictability, unfortunate mishaps and any other un-words you can think of. Coming from someone who used every excuse in the book for missing a practice when I played basketball or forgetting my homework when I was in school, I know firsthand that a good percentage of the time, the person is full of shit. However, there are those rare occasions when the excuse giver is in fact, telling the truth – no matter how inconceivable the situation is. When it comes to a Read more...

Most Outrageous School Mascots
When it comes to school pride, I am a firm believer that you should represent your alma mater to the fullest – regardless of how cheesy or lame you may think the mascot is. In order for me to compile what could arguably be the world’s most outrageous mascots list, I had to put my biased opinion aside. You see, I happen to be a Florida Gator, and while I feel that the Gators are the most badass mascot – they can literally rip your face off, it doesn’t get cooler than that Read more...

Heroin, Shmeroin!
So I'm sitting on my couch watching the Home Run Derby with my friends and being as how I could care less about baseball, I had a few questions to ask.
Number one: Why is everyone talking about this heroin addict as if he is God and he overcame cancer?
Number two: Why does this heroin addict have a 100-year-old man pitching to him? Don't get me wrong, I think it's awesome that this guy kicked such a bad habit and a nasty addiction because heroin is NOT designed to let you off o Read more...

P-A-R-T....Y? Because We Are Gators!
The results were released on Monday. The University of Florida has been awarded the most prestigious honor that any school can receive -- No. 1 party school in the country. That's right, parents. If you were on the fence about where you want your child to attend school, this should have sealed the deal.
The ranking comes from The Princeton Review's 2009 edition of the "Best 368 Colleges." There were 120,000 students surveyed and the majority agreed that UF partied Read more...

"That Time of the Month" in The Palace (formerly The WNBA?)
First and foremost, did you know there was a womens professional basketball league? Yeah, me either. Aparently it's called the WNBA. All the teams are named after ridiculous interjections that sound like noises which popped up in those bubbles from old Batman episodes on tv.
On Tuesday, The Los Angeles Sparks played The Detroit Shock at The Palace of Auburn Hills. I can only speculate that the teams wanted to do a reenactment of the 2004 "Malice at The Palace" fight between Read more...

Oh, Say Can You See?!?
I am all for patriotism. I place my right hand over my heart for the National Anthem. Heck, I even sing it every now and then (under my breath because my voice is atrocious), but what I am NOT for is ruining basketball season.
I am a Cavs fan, and I'll admit it was LeBron who converted me. I had followed him through his high school career at St.Vincent-St.Mary and I was enthralled by his skill. He is like a robot-lion. (This is where I give credit to my friend Cohen for coining the nickname.)
