The Martha Stewart of sports

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

I don’t know much about the stock market, trading or even an extensive amount of investing my money, but I will tell you this: Mark Cuban is in trouble. It doesn’t take a rocket surgeon to know that insider trading is illegal because, let’s face it, we all know what happened to Martha Stewart not [...]

On the tip of my mind

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey

Just a few things on my mind that aren’t really big enough to deserve their own individual posts today.
I have already aired my grievance over the NFL’s “Keep your here as long as we can,” rule which prevents the public from watching 1 p.m. games past 4:10 p.m., even if they’re headed to overtime or [...]

What’s this about an election?

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football, Hockey, Picks, Soccer

Apparently the United States went to the polls yesterday and elected a new leader. This of course meant nothing good was on television to distract us from the world of sports that’s out there to keep everyone sane. It might have been slow in terms of recent standards but there were some noteworthy happenings.
— Apparently [...]

Blockbuster deal

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

It didn’t take long for the NBA to shaken up by a big trade this season. The Pistons and Nuggets have only played three games each right now and they decided to vastly alter their rosters. Detroit shipped former Finals MVP Chauncey Billups and serviceable big man Antonio McDyess to Denver for future Hall of [...]

The beginning

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

It’s only been a few days and games into the NBA season put there’s already been enough to write a post about, notes style.
 
So should the Blazers just replace Oden’s name in the locker room with Sam Bowie’s? The old man just cannot stay on the court. Now he’s out for 2-4 weeks? I’m feeling [...]

NBA preview spectacular

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Picks

With Mother Nature being nice enough to shut down the World Series for the second night in a row, the NBA’s opening night got about as much attention as it possibly could have this time of the year. While the Celtics raised their championship banner — and Paul Pierce cried like wuss — it signaled [...]

Catching up with baseball

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey

I know I completely missed out on writing about Games 1 and 2 of the World Series but this just happens to be one of the busiest times of the sports year.  With the NFL really gearing up, the NBA set to launch plus the NHL underway and making bad decisions, it  can be hard [...]

Howard in hot, non-bong water

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball

Josh Howard of the Dallas Mavericks, who has already been in trouble with both the law and his team, is at it again. Here is what he was recorded saying during a touch football tournament held by Allen Iverson.
“‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ is going on. I don’t celebrate this [expletive]. I’m black.”
I have no idea what [...]

Huge loss for Cincy

by Dan Bilicki In: Basketball, Football

I was going to write a quick post about how Manu Ginobili needs surgery and how playing in the Olympics on an ailing ankle might not have been the greatest idea. I was going to comment on Monta Ellis ruining his ankle and in the process, the Warriors season before training camps even tipped off. [...]

Random thoughts on a slow night

by Dan Bilicki In: Baseball, Basketball, Football, Olympics

Instant replay is finally in Major League Baseball. How long overdue was this move? I can understand not wanting to incur even more delays in games that are drawn out as it is but implementing it for boundary calls like home runs and fair-foul decisions is a great step forward. I still remember that one [...]
