Presidents the Washington Nationals Could Have Chosen Rather Than Taft

This season, the Washington Nationals are adding a new contestant to their President’s Race. While we all know this move is just adding to the field so that Teddy Roosevelt remains the president who almost never wins, we can’t figure out why they picked William Howard Taft. Taft was the only president who also served… Read More Presidents the Washington Nationals Could Have Chosen Rather Than Taft

With Their First Pick In The 1975 NFL Draft, The Redskins Select André René Roussimoff

No, those words never came out of Pete Rozelle’s mouth, but you must remember that 1975 was a very different time. Bell bottoms were still in fashion. Gas cost about 40 cents a gallon. And the internet didn’t exist yet to explode rumors into news reports. Otherwise, more people would have known about the time… Read More With Their First Pick In The 1975 NFL Draft, The Redskins Select André René Roussimoff

The Fargo Force Are My New Favorite Minor-League Hockey Team

In order to truly understand this, you must have suffered through those god-awful Sarah McLachlan ASPCA commercials set to the putrid strains of that audial vomit she calls music. Seriously, these ads are so goddamn annoying they make me want to kick the nearest puppy just to spite these people. Don’t get me wrong, nobody… Read More The Fargo Force Are My New Favorite Minor-League Hockey Team

Another Thing Danica Patrick Isn’t The First To Do – Add A Layer To The “Donovan McNabb Is A Dumbass” Argument

Last week at this time, Danica Patrick had just become the first woman to secure the pole position for the Daytona 500 today. Yesterday, she didn’t become the first pole-sitter to win the “great American race.” Despite that lead-in, this isn’t about Patrick. Rather, this is about another thing she wasn’t the first to do; provide… Read More Another Thing Danica Patrick Isn’t The First To Do – Add A Layer To The “Donovan McNabb Is A Dumbass” Argument

How This Isn’t An Out-Take From “Slap Shot” Is Beyond Me

I can’t explain it, so take a read of the incident from the Western College Hockey blog: Farmington high school (Minn.) held a 2-1 lead over Chaska high school with just over three minutes remaining in the third period of their game on Thursday night when the truly bizarre happened. Farmington senior goalie Austin Krause… Read More How This Isn’t An Out-Take From “Slap Shot” Is Beyond Me

Today’s “No Kidding” Moment: Former New York Jets’ GM Regrets Extending Mark Sanchez’s Contract

Let’s just cut through the crap here. I have no idea what the Jets were thinking last off-season, but it is clear it will take years to get out from under the mess they’ve created.  In order to understand this, we need to do a Sgt. Joe Friday-style breakdown of the facts involved in this… Read More Today’s “No Kidding” Moment: Former New York Jets’ GM Regrets Extending Mark Sanchez’s Contract

What If Roger Goodell Held Different Jobs Throughout History?

Editor’s Note:This article is a collaborative effort between Dubsism’s own J-Dub and Ryan Meehan from East End Philadelphia, which is featured in our BlogRoll and it is well worth the read. Here’s the concept. Roger Goodell is such a blithering idiot that he very well could be the guy who fucks up the National Football League… Read More What If Roger Goodell Held Different Jobs Throughout History?

What The International Olympic Committee And Pope Benedict XVI’s Resignation Have In Common

For the last two days, I’ve been trying to figure out why Pope Benedict XVI decided to resign. After all, Popes don’t retire; they die. Then I had an epiphany while reading a New York Times article about the 2020 Olympic Games.  The Catholic Church and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spent the last century… Read More What The International Olympic Committee And Pope Benedict XVI’s Resignation Have In Common

What We Learned: The 2012 NFL Season Showed Us Two Things About Quarterbacks

1) The “Elite Quarterback” Discussion Got Blown Up The Super Bowl essentially was the induction of Joe “Gummy Bear” Flacco into that silly media-created status of “elite quarterbacks.”  Joe Montana’s Right Arm has the best run-down as to why even the most ardent Flacco-haters now have to stifle themsleves, but this piece is more about… Read More What We Learned: The 2012 NFL Season Showed Us Two Things About Quarterbacks

A High-School Hockey Shout-Out For All My North Dakota Peeps

ICYMI…that’s “in case you missed it” for those of you less hip to internet slang than a 45-year old blogger… This goal by NHL propsect Alec Rauhauser of Bismarck Century High School was not only a classic “What the fuck was that?” moment, it actually made #2 on ESPN SportsCenter’s Top 10 Plays on Wednesday.
