When life hands you lemons, it’s a subtle sign that life really wanted Allen Iverson to start in the All-Star Game. How else would you explain Rajon Rondo coming off the bench in one of the weakest All-Star voting categories in recent memory? Regardless of the injustice, it’s recommended – nay, necessary – that you […]

I’ve been a dog person for about as long as I’ve been a person and certainly longer than I’ve been a people person. When I found out that the Toronto Raptors were bringing back the Toronto Huskies get-up for a few games this season I assumed that I would fall in love with the concept […]

I’m assuming there’s a reason things are the way they are that I just don’t understand yet, but until it either changes or I figure it out, the NBA All-Star  voting process is officially my new nemesis (you’re off the hook Gypsy That Cursed Paul Millsap). Where do we begin? The last time a basketball […]

Hey, look, November is more than half over and Brandon Jennings – if numbers are to be trusted – is a legitimate force in the NBA. Other words: It’s ten games into the 2009-10 campgain and the Milwaukee Bucks are third in the Eastern Conference at 8-3. Does this not strike anybody else as odd? […]

There’s hullabaloo in the air about Michael Jordan finally joining the Hall of Fame – he naturally deserves it. This story here then – the one you’ve stumbled upon while traipsing the vast Internet desert – is about that induction to an extent, but not in the way that you would expect. The NBA has […]

For 50 different reasons you could hate Zach Randolph. He’s boring, he’s whiny and he makes $14 million more than you every single year. He’s routinely arrested – never for anything impressive like train robbery or civil disobedience – but for goof-ups like drinking underage, smoking pot and driving under the influence. He’s significantly undersized […]

Life in the American League East is as miserable as it gets. It’s as depressing and pointless as anything has ever been or ever will be. The inevitable presence of doom that plagues its five-team membership repeatedly swallows the soul of hard-working, baseball-playing men, drowning their hopes in futility and dreams in despair. Much like […]

Desmond Mason might as well exist in an alternate universe – better yet, a fourth dimension; technically there, but ungrasped by man. His feats go unnoticed, his accomplishments unrecognized and his presence unfelt. He is, when you think about it, one big fat “un” – unknown, unremarkable and unjustly under-appreciated. His background is nothing spectacular; […]

When we look back at the 2008-09 season we’re all going to remember the NBA Finals, the fact that the Cavs didn’t advance and that the Lakers did. We’ll remember the box scores from mid-December and the highlights of the year packaged neatly for future consumption. So many aspects of the season will live on […]

Does it bother Marc-Andre Fleury that when you Google images of his mom a picture of Jim Carrey in The Mask pops up? Probably not. It didn’t bother him when she smacked a good luck smooch on his skinny little cheek after arriving at Mellon Arena for Game 6 either. Apparently it didn’t bother him […]
