If we took a holiday, took some time to celebrate, just one day out of life…It would be, it would be so nice. -Madonna
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! As many of you know, and for the those of you who don’t, tonight is the first night of Passover. As many of you know, and for the those of you who don’t, Passover is a festival that commemorates the release of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. Hooray Israelites! Passover is also a celebration of the birth of the Jewish nation after being freed from captivity. Sound familliar? Does to me. Sounds an awful lot like 2004 to me. You rememember 2004, don’t you? Sure you do. 2004 was the year the Red Sox were releassed from an 86 year baseball slavery. 2004 was the year the Red Sox defeated the Evil Empire. 2004 was the birth of Red Sox Nation. Hooray Red Sox Nation! Read More »

Coach Jim Playfair of the AHL’s Abbotsford Heat doesn’t seem to appreciate this call. It is clear Jim thinks the ref may have been mistaken. Jim then proceeds to lose his goddamned mind:

I wanna be like you. I wanna talk like you. Walk like you, too. You’ll see it’s true. Someone like me, can learn to be like someone like me. -Jungle Book
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Just a little quick one. A run and stick one. More fun than a David Beckham free kick one. Last night, Deron Williams scored 20 big points. Last night, Deron Williams dished out 12 big assists. Pretty good you say? Wait, I say. It gets better. Last night was the second straight night that Williams had a 20/10 game (points/assists) and it was his 18th such game this season. How about that? The only other player with more 20-point, 10-assist games this season than Williams is none other than LeBron James (19). Being second to Bron Bron ain’t so bad. But as good as that is, Williams is still ten shy of John Stockton’s single-season franchise record of 28, set in 1988-89. Maybe Deron should get himself a pair of them little shorts.

Mister Trouble never hangs around when he hears this mighty sound, “Here I come to save the day!” That means that Mighty Mouse is on his way. -Mighty Mouse
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! In a game in which Denver trailed by 10 with eight minutes left, Melo took the last shot for the winner winner chicken dinner and it was G – double O – D good! And you thought Chauncey Billups was Mr. Big shot. Not on this team. Not in this league. Last night, Caremlo Anthony’s jumper with no time remaining in the game gave the Nuggets the winner winner chicken dinner over the Raptors. Hooray Nuggets! When the game is on the line, you want the rock in Carmelo Anthony’s hands. When the Pepsi Center’s a rockin’ don’t come a knockin’. Knock knock. Who’s there? Melo, bitch! Read More »

Straight up now tell me do you really want to love me forever. Oh oh oh. Or am I caught in a hit and run? Straight up now tell me is it gonna be you and me together. Oh oh oh. Or are you just having fun? -Paula Abdul
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Yesterday, the Braves announced what came as a surprise to almost no one. Yesterday, the Braves announced that Jason Heyward will be their starting right fielder when the season begins. Hooray Jason Heyward. Maybe you’re like Billy Batts. Maybe you haven’t heard. You been away a long time. They didn’t go up there and tell you. In that case, I’ll let a National League scout tell you. One National League scout said ”He’s not only been the best Brave this spring, he’s been the best player this spring.” Yowza! That’s high praise. High praise indeed. Read More »

(CBS 7PM ET) Move over Cornell, America’s got a new sweetheart. Face it, this is a what have you done for me lately world we live in and all Cornell done did for us is get their socks blown off by Kentucky. Now it’s Northern Iowa’s turn. But the Panthers aren’t getting their socks blown off by Sparty and friends tonight. Especially not since Sparty lost his best friend. Especially not since Sparty lost Kalin Lucas, State’s leading scorer. Northern Iowa is a sound basketball team. Five players on the floor functioning as one single unit. Team, team, team! No one more important that the other. They don’t make a lot of mistakes. They play defense. They win tonight. Get your popcorn ready!

Because I’m bad, I’m bad. Come On. You know I’m bad, I’m bad. You know it. -Michael Jackson
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! What a difference a year makes. Last year we saw the revival of the Big Bad Bruins. Last year GM Peter Chiarelli, Coach Claude Julien and top free agent signings Zdeno Chara and Marc Savard were just laying down the foundation. The foundation for domination. Domination of the National Hockey League Association. The Bruins went on to have the best record in the Eastern Conference and swept the hated Montreal Canadiens in the playoffs. Everything was coming up roses. This year? Not so much. Read More »

Now you can’t catch me. No, baby, you can’t catch me. ‘Cause if you get too close, you know I’m gone like a cool breeze. -Chuck Berry
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Like the late great Harry Caray always says: “Hello again, everybody. It’s a bee-yooo-tiful day for baseball.” Defense, defense. Hold tight. Defense, defense. Fight! Fight! Fight! Flashing the old leather. That’s what here to talk about today. The web gems. What’s glove got to do with it, got to do with it? Everything. Read More »
