Can't Stand LeBron But ESPN Trying Too Hard Here

Classic example of ESPN focusing too much on the NBA. This graphic makes no sense. I know Lebron is a choker but this is digging way too deep for proof.

Philadelphia Angry Birds?

This has got to be one of the dumbest publicity stunts I have seen in recent years. Besides the Jets signing Tim Tebow, the Eagles come in a close second with this move. Am I the only one who thought the whole Angry Birds phase was done? I played the game for about 2 weeks, and it got old, just like ever other iPhone game that I download. An iPhone game has the ability to keep my attention for about a week or two, and that's the max. After that, it just sits on my phone and I randomly hit it once and a while, forget to close it and it ends up draining the battery on my phone. I honestly thought this whole partnership between the Eagles and the Angry Birds was a joke, I mean just watch this clip. I'm shocked the Jets didn't try and get in on this. Woody Johnson is so desperate for some sort of headline I would of thought he'd hop on this like a dog hops on a leg. I guess they felt it was safer to endorse cartoon animals as opposed to real ones huh? They wouldn't want Vick getting any ideas now.

I Don't Know

This dude has way too much time on his hands. He was flying this out in the cove tonight at the San Francisco Giants game. I don't understand it, I don't know why this is cool but at the same time it is cool. Got to admire the guy's dedication to making this whole jet pack thing happen. Not a bad way to pick up chicks I guess.

This is Why the Stanley Cup is the Greatest Trophy in Sports

I watched the Stanley Cup, I don't know if anybody else did but I watched it. I love hockey, phenomenal very underrated sport. Unfortunately, this year's cup viewing audience was down 60 percent but that really isn't surprising. I mean, last year's Stanley Cup is being touted as one of the best of all time obviously. But these two nuggets belong to Dustin Brown, LA King and Stanley Cup champ. Well, his day with the cup consisted of filling it with chocolate milk and letting his boys drink out of it. Can't do this with the Super Bowl trophy, can't do it with the World Series trophy and most certainly can't do it with the World Cup trophy. A side note, the World Cup trophy might be the ugliest in all of sports. But anyway, this reminded me of some other crazy things champions have done with the cup. No Ryan Callahan is not pictured in these because he hasn't won one.


Brad Marchand, Boston Bruin, enjoys a nice helping of Frosted Flakes out of the cup. He has the same birthday as me by the way. Epic. Yes.


Drinking from the Stanley Cup could make any crappy beer taste good, even Keystone.


The Penguins take the Cup for a quick dip after their victory in the 2008-09 final.


After the cup went missing in Boston because we celebrate hard in Beantown, it found its way to Pebble Beach.


Let's Put the Lebron Talk to Bed


Now I'm sure everybody watched the Celtics, Heat series and heard Jeff Van Gundy just take over the Lebron fan base and take charge of it. Van Gundy basically ranted claiming that he doesn't understand why everybody hates Lebron and that we all need to just stop. Listen, Lebron asked for this himself. He claimed that the Heat would win 4, 5, 6, 7 rings and so far they've been close but nothing yet. Lebron is without question one of the best players on the planet. However, not every phenomenal player has what it takes to win a championship. Just take a look at a man who played in the exact same city, Dan Marino. Marino had all the skills that a quarterback needs and yes he is often touted as one of the best to play the position. Lebron I feel is well on his way to being yet another ringless Miami 'great.' Don't get me wrong, he is without a doubt one of the most talented players on the face of the Earth, but you can't teach clutchness and you can't teach desire. I don't think he has the fire inside him to get it done, no matter who is on his team. Yes, he practically carried the Cavs in his days in Cleveland but if he had that fire, he would have stayed there. He panicked, and by panicking he has done nothing but put more pressure on himself. If he still dawned the yellow and red Cavalier uniform, the path to winning a championship would not have been guaranteed, but the pressure would have been less. I thought that maybe his performance in game 6 against the Celtics was him turning the corner, but he simply cannot match the clutch ways of Kevin Durant. It will again be another ringless summer for Lebron.



Im Back Baby!



Sorry I haven't been posting lately. I've been too busy just raging my face off. Yes that is partly true but I have actually dipped my feet into the real world and actually have a real job that could actually be respected on a resume. Anyways, I'm back to writing pointless banter and random jargon that you all seem to like to read. Or actually I feel like most of you hate it but since I post it on Facebook you just can't resist clicking the link. So in conclusion, you all kinda do love me. I appreciate that. I'm not an easy writer to read but hey we will all just leave it that we have a love, hate relationship. Thanks for sticking with me folks.
