I have to admit, the fact that Marshawn Lynch is becoming a media star by not saying anything is nothing short of hilarious. What else can you say about a guy whose brutal honesty can be summed up in lines like “I’m just here so I don’t get fined.” More importantly, as part of Dubsism’s… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 68 – The Real “Beast Mode”
For purposes of full disclosure, as a Philadelphia Eagle fan, this may be the only time you ever see me heaping love on a Dallas Cowboy. But there’s no better time than Super Bowl week to remember one of the great performances to ever happen in the big game. Chuck Howley was a six-time Pro… Read More Remembering Chuck Howley
By J-Dub and Ryan Meehan Every year about this time, it is tradition here at Dubsism to write a piece trashing the Super Bowl contestants. The reason why we do this is actually rather simple. The Super Bowl is the biggest sports event in America, and as such, it draws in all the casual fans… Read More Why You Shouldn’t Cheer For…The Seattle Seahawks
By J-Dub and Ryan Meehan Every year about this time, it is tradition here at Dubsism to write a piece trashing the Super Bowl contestants. That means we’ve written this piece about the goddamn Patriots before. You would think we have run out of material. Thankfully, nothing could be further from the truth. The reason… Read More Why You Shouldn’t Cheer For…The New England Patriots
What is becoming a tradition here at Dubsism is to point out the look-alikes present on the rosters of both Super Bowl contestants. The problem we face this year is both of these teams have been in recent Super Bowls, which means we faced a bit of a challenge. We weren’t doing this feature the… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 67 – The Super Bowl 49 Edition
This past weekend, baseball lost a true legend with the passing of Ernie “Mr. Cub” Banks. I really can’t say more than has already been said in terms of eulogizing this larger-than-life baseball icon, but I can say how Mr. Cub taught me a lesson I would use throughout my life. I’m of such an… Read More RIP, Ernie Banks
This one comes to us from a guy named Jeremy Bellmyer. We here at Dubsism don’t know him, but he knows our regular collaborator Ryan Meehan. While that in and of itself should be enough of an indictment of his character, the fact that he came up with a pretty solid addition to this series… Read More Sports Doppelgangers, Volume 66 – Say Hello To My Little Cavalier
Forget about this not being your father’s NFL anymore. This is barely MY NFL anymore. Seriously, I’ve been saying this on Twitter for weeks. On an unrelated note, you should really follow @Dubsism because it is the best way to tell when I’ve had too much to drink while watching sports. But I digress. I’ve… Read More As Much as Football Has Changed, At Least It’s Still Not Soccer…Yet
You have to admit, it makes sense reading this story on the blog which has been home to the Jamie Moyer for the Hall of Fame campaign for close to five years now. Before we go any further, we aren’t talking about the “big” Hall of Fame in Cooperstown; the Seattle Mariner pitcher headed there… Read More Jamie Moyer Finally Gets Into The Hall of Fame…Well, Not That Hall of Fame
Four days ago, Cardale Jones was a third-string quarterback thrust on to the big stage; suiting up for a football game to determine college football’s champion. Since then, he’s become a National Championship-winning quarterback, which led to his becoming a media sensation because his performance in that game and the two before it watered the… Read More Cardale Jones’ Name Is Now Synonymous With The Media Creating A Story Where There Was None
Try not to let that headline shake your faith in humanity. I know it’s hard to admit that something as innocent as Little League baseball might be fraught with corruption. In case you didn’t realize it, that was pure sarcasm. Every year, I watch the Little League World Series if for no other reason that… Read More Apparently, There’s Cheating in Little League and Nobody Cares
With last week’s announcement of the 15 Football Hall of Fame finalists, we here at Dubsism want to take this opportunity to prove something we’ve long suspected: the readers of Dubsism and Turtle Boy Sports can put together a better Hall of Fame class than can the pointy-heads with the ballots that count. The reason… Read More Cast Your Ballot In The Dubsism Football Hall of Fame Ballot Challenge
Every athlete has a moment when they have to make some decisions. That moment is now for Florida State quarterback Jameis Winston. The first decision he needs to make is obvious. Will he or won’t he enter the 2015 NFL draft? Winston is now three years removed from high school, which makes him eligible to… Read More Things Jameis Winston Needs To Do…Today
15) The College Football Play-off and the ESPN-ization of Bowl Games There are two words to describe how we got this four-team playoff to determine the college football national champion. Television Money Don’t even try to deny that. Sure, you can point out that we really aren’t adding any games with this play-off, which is… Read More The Dubsism Top Fifteen Sports Stories of 2014
