“A local sports-radio host wants the city to celebrate the 10,000th loss with a parade. I think that would be a disgrace. The Phils are my grandfather’s team, my father’s team, my team, my sons’ team and my grandchildren’s team. We fans will endure this humiliation, and then maybe we’ll start on our second […]

The Fightin’ Phils are in the middle of a division race, only two games back from the stumbling, bumbling Mets. Aside from a woeful bullpen, the Phils are loaded with great young talent all over the field. The starting pitching is solid with a burdgeoning ace in Cole Hamels. The infield is loaded with Young […]

I think she may have used a non-nutritive cereal varnish to improve her performance. Or possibly a non-caloric silicon-based kitchen lubricant creating a surface 500 times more slippery than any cooking oil to increase her speed. Either way, my little sister Lauren decided to exploit my stint on the injured reserve and presumably cheat her […]

I realize that most people forgot that a professional hockey league exists anymore. That includes the majority of people in Philadelphia because the team was so incredibly pathetic this year. So pathetic in fact that the marketing department pretty much admitted it. Just two weekends ago, as I was in a cab driving up I-95 […]

The long and storied tradition of Northwestern sports received a ringing endorsement recently from Red Sok (singular?) Curt Schilling. Last week, in a spring training report in the Boston Metro, the Schill was quoted following his first exhibition outing as saying:
“I was nervous and short of breath and all the things I normally am whether […]

On January 30th, the Reid boys went wild in the Philly ‘burbs. While Big Red was away, the little Reids went out to play. First, Garrett, 23, blew through a speed trap and, before the cops were able to catch up to pull him over, he plowed through a red light and t-boned another car, […]

Today’s Sports Guy article about the ongoing Iverson saga just makes me giddy. Here’s just a sample:
Iverson remains the quickest guard on the planet, one of the few who routinely draws “oohs and ahhs” from the Staples Center crowd. Although hes noticeably smaller in person no taller than 5-foot-11, Iverson attacks the basket in waves, […]

Gone are the days of hoping to find Northwestern mentioned in the “Others receiving votes” section at the bottom of every weekly collegiate football pool, then counting the number of schools that come before them before declaring “hey, we’re ranked 31st… we’re actually getting some respect.”
Luckily for the Wildcat fans out there, SI.com keeps […]

My esteemed Alma Mater is embroiled in quite a controversy right now. First, a website operated by someone who always got picked last in dodgeball, badjocks.com, made pictures available showing the NU women’s soccer team hazing their rookies last August. NU suspended the team indefinitely this week.

Then the university announced that it had recently punished […]

General alert for the Chicago area: don’t work on your laptop at your neighborhood Denny’s. After belittling you and insulting you, Ricky Manning Jr. will then knock your ass out in the parking lot. (Similar to what he did to Todd Pinkston in the NFC championship game a couple of years ago.)
“I was pretty down […]
