Take off the mask. Your sports stars on Halloween

Tomorrow night thousands of children will hit the streets of Anytown USA with black fedoras, one white sparkly glove and an elaborate leather jacket of some kind in hopes of getting adults to give them treats.  Little do they know that the very man they’re dressing like would have given them some “feel good medicine” and […]

Betcha…Political wagers that make sense

With the World Series beginning tonight we now see another boring chapter of politicians making pointless championship wagers.  In fact, this might be the worst chapter yet.
Senators Charles E. Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, and Arlen Specter and Bob Casey from New York and Pennsylvania respectively have wagered Brooklyn cheesecakes against Philly Cheesestakes. (pardon me while […]

This just turned into a Michael Douglas flick - Workplace Relationships that are getting out of hand.

The other weekend, I was over at my buddy’s house playing the new Wrestlemania Legends videogame on PS3. All my favorites were there; Jake the Snake, Brutus the Barber […]

The Brandon Marshall Handbook: 10 Ways to Get Cut From the Team You Hate

Hey folks, Brandon Marshall here.
NFL wide receivers, I get it. The millions you are currently making just aren’t cutting it. But that stupid owner upstairs just isn’t giving you the respect (i.e. new giant contract) that you deserve. We’ve all been there. But rather than contribute for that miserable turd of a franchise that would […]

You Can’t Go Home: Players Who Burned Bridges

I think everyone by now saw Jay Cutler’s rocky mountain reception this weekend. Most of us didn’t feel bad for him. I mean, at the end of the day he’s still a multi-millionaire star athlete.
But it got me thinking about all the other athletes that have burned a team, only to have to play there […]

Last Action Heroes: Football Coaches as Action Movie Characters

As we head toward another football season, I can’t help but think we haven’t really been paying attention to the real heroes (or villains).
There is a man who takes all the responsibility for your team’s success and failure.  If he doesn’t get it done, the world could end for millions of fans.  It all rests […]
