Kevin Blackistone Compares Big Baby to Obama
Published on 2009-05-12 16:51:00
Seriously.On a related note, Kevin Blackistone is a moron.Here's the gist of it. On ESPN's Around The Horn, Tony Reali posed the question of whether or not Big Baby needed to apologize for shoving a 12-year-old kid after scoring the game-winning shot in Game 4 of the Celtics-Magic series. The kid's dad referred to Big Baby as a "raging animal," which he seemingly was:Blackistone preached the "Can't we all just get along" sentiment by saying that the kid's dad's comment reminded him of when Pre

Manny On 'Roids, Toledo Point-Shaving

Is nothing pure anymore?First, Manny Ramirez tests positive for PEDs. ManRam...did you not know there was a more stringent drug-testing policy in place now in Major League Baseball? Have you not watched TV in the last 12 months? Have you ever heard of a guy named Alex Rodriguez? You just can't chalk this up to "Manny being Manny"...this is just ignorant. It's not the late '90s-early 2000's anymore.Then there's the University of Toledo basketball and football players involved in a point-shav

Cher?In case you forgot, Cher began her "Farewell Tour" (a.k.a. the "Never Can Say Goodbye Tour") in 2002. It lasted 3 years. Then, in 2008, she signed on for another 3-year, 200-show stint at the Colosseum in Las Vegas.Favre "retired" at the end of the 2007 season, tried to come back as a Packer last year (except that they didn't want him to), was traded to the Jets for the 2008 season, "retired" at the end of last season, and now is apparently in talks with the Vikings for a 2009 comeback.
Ovechkin, Crosby, and Woodstock

Rarely does the hype of a matchup between two individual players in a team sport live up to expectations. That seems to be true even more so in hockey, where the star players are on the ice for less than half of the entire game, and where goals are (usually) few and far between.Not so last night. If you don't watch hockey, or missed last night's Capitals-Penguins game, you missed one of the greatest games (and perhaps the greatest individual battle between two superstars--Alex Ovechkin and Sid
T.I. And Sports Suspensions
Published on 2009-05-04 17:06:00
Grammy winner T.I. was in attendance at Game 7 of the dreadfully bad Hawks-Heat series over the weekend. In case you're not familiar with T.I. (real name Clifford Harris, a.k.a. T.I.P.), don't feel bad. I'm not either. Apparently he makes music. The point is that, on March 27 (about a month and a half ago), T.I. was sentenced to one year and one day in prison for felony weapons charges. Yet thanks to our wacky judicial system, he gets to hang out at NBA playoff games, spend time with his fa

Picking Kentucky Derby Winners
Published on 2009-05-01 13:36:00
Here's how I know my 2009 Kentucky Derby picks are sure things: I did a little research, and every horse that has won the Derby in the last 5 years has had some sort of a musical connection. Sometimes that connection is obvious, sometimes you have to dig a little deeper. But it's always there. Here are the past 5 winners and the musical connections that led them to the winner's circle:2008 Winner - Big Brown. Big Brown was sired by Boundary, son of Danzig. Danzig is an American rock band fr
Kentucky Derby Picks

The odds are in...you can get them here.The only two picks that make sense to me are Mr. Hot Stuff at 30-1 (contrary to some reports, disco is apparently alive and well):And Nowhere to Hide at 50-1 (don't the three blocks in the video mean 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place?):The only other horse I would consider as a long shot would be Summer Bird (also at 50-1), trained by Tim "Don't Call Me Vanilla" Ice.How about a 3-18-17 trifecta? That flies in the face of conventional wisdom that says the 1-4 posts
