Since tonight marks the beginning of the NBA’s All-Star weekend, it only makes sense that we should feature a guy making his first All-Star game.

Obviously, this is a follow-up to my original post on this matter. Yesterday’s decision to strip the Jackie Robinson West (JRW) team from Chicago of it’s U.S. title came as a complete surprise to me, because I thought for sure there was no way Little League International (LLI) was going to kill it’s “feel-good” story… Read More So…If You’re Going To Cheat in Little League, At Least Be Smart About It
There’s probably a bunch of people in Las Vegas who don’t know why the flags are all at half-mast today.

by J-Dub and Ryan Meehan Ideas are the very fabric of innovation. While that line sounds awfully deep for a silly-ass sports blog, it is nonetheless painfully true. Without ideas, as a race we humans would have nothing to do and would spend even more time masturbating. Take we writers of this piece for example.… Read More The Deep Six: Terrible Sports Ideas Which Thankfully Haven’t Happened Yet
This one almost sounds like the setup to a joke. “So, a future NBA MVP and an excessively weird 1930’s Mexican artist walk into a bar…” But there’s no joke about the fact that New Orleans Pelicans center Anthony Davis and quirky artist Frida Kahlo share some distinct features.

Ok…as we wade through the aftermath of last night’s Super Bowl, it must be pointed out that in my nearly half century of football fandom, Seattle Seahawks’ head coach Pete Carroll and offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell’s decision to throw the goddamn football from the 17-inch line with the Super Bowl on the line when they… Read More Pete Carroll and Darrell Bevell’s Other Play Calls Throughout History
I have to admit, the fact that Marshawn Lynch is becoming a media star by not saying anything is nothing short of hilarious.
