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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]

I have no idea what [...]
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. [...]
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 [...]
The Olympics have come and (finally) gone. It will be another four years before we, as fans of real sports, have to endure our Sports Centres being filled with rhythmic gymnastics results and canoeing or race walking updates. So here were my lasting impressions of the 2008 Beijing Games…
I really don’t believe how much I [...]
Nothing like waking up extra early on a Sunday morning to watch team USA battle some champions of communism. This was definitely a tale of two halves. Thanks to the American’s ineptitude at guarding the 3-point line, China was able to stay in it for the first half. But eventually the lack of depth on [...]
