Radio J-Dub, Volume 37 – Feminist Comedy and the Real Reason the Oscars Exist

That headline for Episode 37 of Radio J-Dub is just for starters. There’s also an homage to broadcasting legend Vin Scully, how Steph Curry rains gloom and despair on his NBA opponents, and another lesson from Mr. Dubs’ Neighborhood to round out another audio incarnation of the most interesting independent sports blog on the web.… Read More Radio J-Dub, Volume 37 – Feminist Comedy and the Real Reason the Oscars Exist

Radio J-Dub, Volume 6- Good “Bad” Coaches and Dave Hakstol Hits The City of Brotherly Love

There’s so much in today’s episode it had to be done in two segments. The first harkens back to a lot of material from the Dubsism archives.  We get glimpses into why there’s a Dubsy award named for Gene Mauch, what J-Dub really means when he talks about good “bad” coaches, the old Dubscast series,… Read More Radio J-Dub, Volume 6- Good “Bad” Coaches and Dave Hakstol Hits The City of Brotherly Love

So…If You’re Going To Cheat in Little League, At Least Be Smart About It

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

This post may sound like it belongs on Turtle Boy Sports (which is an awesome read, by the way…), but what I saw on my television this morning literally made me spew coffee across my living room. I’m watching my local morning news during which CBS News does a two-minute cut-in with a “headlines of… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: CBS News Uses Ferguson Riots to Inject Race Into Little League Baseball

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Can You Imagine What Would Happen If Tony Stewart Had Killed A Black Teenager?

At first glance, the title of this piece seems ludicrous, but the events of this past week in upstate New York and suburban St. Louis share one overarching theme. In both cases, there is a world full of people who not only want me to jump to conclusions based on what they want to believe,… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: Can You Imagine What Would Happen If Tony Stewart Had Killed A Black Teenager?

The Donald Sterling Situation Has Exposed Doc Rivers As Either An Idiot Or A Hypocrite

The other day, I did a podcast on this Donald Sterling situation, and one of the things I mentioned in that show is that when it hits the media, racism does a wonderful job of exposing stupidity, both for the jag-off who says the racist comment and invariably for somebody who gets their hand forced… Read More The Donald Sterling Situation Has Exposed Doc Rivers As Either An Idiot Or A Hypocrite

The Riley Cooper Situation: Yet Another Exercise in the Exploitation of Racism for Profit

Last week, steroids were the worst thing to ever happen in the history of the sports world.  Trust me, there was absolutely no hyperbole spewing from the mouths of the sports media gasbags when they were saying this. Never mind there were sandwiching the steroid conversation with talk about a guy who may have killed… Read More The Riley Cooper Situation: Yet Another Exercise in the Exploitation of Racism for Profit

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

Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: NASCAR Bans the “General Lee”

Rural America is run by rednecks. One of the beautiful things about rednecks is that they live up to the definition ascribed to them by noted redneck Jeff Foxworthy: “Redneck” is a glorious absence of sophistication. One of the beautiful things about that such a lack of sophistication is they don’t tend to subscribe to such… Read More Signs We Are Near The End Of Civilization: NASCAR Bans the “General Lee”
