An Open Letter to Denver Broncos Fans: Kyle Orton is the Greatest Athlete in the History of Ever REVISITED

Apparently, I have to dig this article out of the Dubsism archives.  The fact that ESPN just will not leave the whole Orton-Tebow thing alone; in fact they are decidedly trying to inflame a situation that is clearly not a situation means I have no choice but to reprise this article originally posted on August… Read More An Open Letter to Denver Broncos Fans: Kyle Orton is the Greatest Athlete in the History of Ever REVISITED

Enter Your Own “Wang” Joke for the Washington Nationals

Time for some brutal honesty, men. Every one of you has taken a “C-list” woman on an “A-List” date just because you knew it dramatically increased your odds of breaking a “dry spell.” Picture the Washington Nationals as Mr. Dry Spell, and free-agent pitcher Chien-Ming Wang as the C-list chick and you get the idea.… Read More Enter Your Own “Wang” Joke for the Washington Nationals

Metrodome Roof Raised In Time For Another Season of Shitty Viking Football

We all remember this. It was the perfect metaphor for a shitty stadium that houses a shitty franchise which has nothing but a shitty future. But at least stadium-wise, Minnesota’s long nightmare is over.  All the king’s horses and all the king’s men found a way to put the HumptyDome back together again.

The Dubsism Baseball Power Rankings: The All-Star Break Edition – Will I Have To Eat My Keyboard?

For me, the All-Star break has always represented the “far turn” in the horse race that is the Major League Baseball season. This is the point when general managers acting as jockeys must decide whether they are contenders or pretenders; whether to go to the whip (trade for talent to augment a “stretch run”) or… Read More The Dubsism Baseball Power Rankings: The All-Star Break Edition – Will I Have To Eat My Keyboard?

Jim Riggleman cut his own balls off when he had a temper tantrum and walked away from one of… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: So, You Want To Cut Your Own Balls Off?
