I can’t believe the news today.  Oh, I can’t close my eyes and make it go away!  Sunday, bloody Sunday.  Sunday, bloody Sunday.  -U2

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  I did not expect to have to write this one today.  How could I have?  Why would I have?  How should I have?  Before yesterday, the mighty mighty New England Patriots were 8-0 in home games in January.  All that has changed.  The once invincible Patriots, now look very vincible.  Heck, they look downright pedestrian.  Once, the Patriots had won their previous 11 playoff games at Foxborough, dating back to 1997, allowing an average of 84 rushing yards and a total of two rushing TDs in those games.  Yesterday, the Ravens rushed for 234 yards and four touchdowns in their victory at Gillette Stadium.  Once, Tom Brady threw just three interceptions in his first 357 passes in postseason play, spanning 11 games from 2002 to 2006.  Yesterday he threw that many in that one game.  I’m not ready to call it the end of a dynasty just yet.  I am ready to say the Pats have a big offeseason in front of them.  A very big offseason.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

I go wild when you’re in my face and I’m entranced in a state of grace.  I go wild when you treat me bad.  I go wild, raving mad.  -Rolling Stones

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Word has it, legendary Dallas Cowboys coach Tom Landry never told a lie.  Sure, he may have stretched things a bit at times.  Yes, he might have underplayed things at other times.  He may have even withheld some information if he felt it to be necessary.  All understandable.  But he never lied.  Now, I never met the man so I don’t know if these stories about Landry’s honesty are true or if thy’re on par with George Washington and the cherry tree.  I do know one thing however.  I do know it was Tom Landry who said, “Football is an incredible game.  Sometimes it’s so incredible, it’s unbelievable.”  That’s the double truth, Ruth.  So let’s do this.  Like we always knew this.  Like my main man Dick Butkus.  Wild And Wooly Card Sunday!          Read More »

Flash a-ah, savior of the universe.  Flash a-ah, he’ll save everyone of us.  Flash a-ah, he’s a miracle.  Flash a-ah, ing of the impossible.  -Queen

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Last night, Dwyane Wade was a one man heatwave burning in the Pheonix Suns’  heart.  They couldn’t keep from crying as Flash tore them apart.  D-Wade scored 33 big points.  D-Wade grabbed nine huge rebounds.  D-Wade handed out eight enormous assists.  D-Wade singlehandedly led Miami to victory over Phoenix.  Hooray D-Wade!  Just so you know, Flash is only the third player this season to reach those levels in all three categories in one game.  You wanna know who the other are two are?  Really?  You don’t know?  C’mon.  You should get this one.  It’s easy.  Easy like a Sunday morning.  The two other players to do that this season are LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.  Don’t you feel silly now?  All broke like?  Well don’t worry Binky.  I’ll cheer you up.  I’ll give a freebie.  I’ll give you this:  Dwyane Wade has now scored in double figures in a franchise-record 128 consecutive games.  How about that?  Now don’t say I never gave you nothin’.

Peace out homies.  Six two and Even!

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  What’s crack-a-lacking sports fans! You know what time it is? Sure you do. It’s that time of year again.  It’s Tom Brady time. The time of year when the air is just a little bit crisper.  The time of year when the mood is just a little bit more dire.  The time of year when the games are just a little bit more meaningful.  Peanut butter jelly time.  NFL playoff football time.  Win or go home!       Read More »

(ESPN 8PM ET)  What did you expect?  You know me by now.  If the Celtics are on, that’s my game of the night.  That’s my claim of the night.  My claim to fame of the night.  Why shouldn’t it be?  Back in November, the Hawks defeated my beloved Boston Celtics at the Gahden.  Back in November, some wondered if it was a changing of the guard.  Those folks need to get a check up from the neck up.  Yes, those said same Hawks pushed Boston to the brink of elimination during the Celtics’ march to an NBA title in 2008.  To that, I say what my dear old Bubbe said.  I say, feh!  Double feh!  Tonight the C’s remain without the services of one Kevin Garnett.  But back is Paul Pierce.  Back is Rajon Rondo.  Back is the glory.  Get your popcorn ready!

Peace out homies!   Six Two and Even!

We on fire, up in here, it’s burning hot.  We on fire, Shorty take it off if it get to hot, up in this spot.  We on fire.  -Lloyd Banks

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  Hockey Krishnas rejoice!  Hockey hockey!  Krishna Krishna!  That’s right, hockey talk.  Nashville Predators talk.  Patric Hornqvist talk.  He’s on fire.  En flambe!  Or in Patric’s native toungue:  En brasa!  Yes rink rats, the guy who was once hockey’s Mr. Irrelevant is now very relevant.  Very relevant indeed.  Hornqvist was drafted by the Nashville Predators with the very last pick in the 2005 NHL Entry Draft.  I betcha some folks are kicking themselves now.  Now, Patric is scoring some goals.  A gaggle of goals.  Just last night, he scored two goals for Nashville in its 4-2 win against the Hurricanes.  Hooray Patric Hornqvist!  Just so you know, those two goals give him a league-high total of 10 goals (in 12 games) since December 14.  What makes this even more special is the fact that When his current hot streak began, Hornqvist had scored only eight goals in 59 games in his two seasons in the NHL.  How about that?  How about Patric Hornqvist?

Public Service Announcement:  Ok, here we go!  That’s right folks, I’m back!  Flew in from Miami Beach BOAC, didn’t get to bed last night.  On the way the paper bag was on my knee.  Man I had a dreadful flight.  And boy are my arms tired.  But I am back.  Back in the nick of time.  Back in a mouse click of time.  Like Mike Tyson, back, hitting like a f’n mule kick in time.  Back in time for wild and wooly card Saturday.  So let’s get to this.  Like we always knew this.  Like my main man Marvin Lewis.  Shall we?  Sure we shall.        Read More »
