Ok, I can openly admit this crossover is not worthy of a VoD on it’s own. Still, my boy Professor Hollinger’s (whom I agree with 80% of the time) comments yesterday stating Vince Carter is deserving of an All-Star spot, well…it upset me. I had to lash out. What a punk.

Posted: 11th February 2009 by Trev Smith in NCAA Hoops, Trev SmithComments Off
The Rivalry of Tobacco Road has given us some of basketball’s greatest icons and memorable moments. Even though the battles between the Heels and Blue Devils have provided endless entertainment, it is human nature to look back and wonder about ‘what might have been’ almost as much as ‘what was.’ How altered might the game’s [...]

Every once in a while, Geoff Frigault, a non-sports-fanatic, will weigh in with his thoughts on topics that are (vaguely) sports related. This segment is called From a Non-Fan Perspective, or FNFP for short. So I’m sure everyone has heard over and over again about this Michael Phelps dilemma. The most-decorated Olympian in history caught [...]

On February 2nd, the Ottawa Senators fired Craig Hartsburg after leading the team to a 17-24-7 record. Hartsburg is one of many coach firings in the NHL so far this year. With the firing of Hartsburg many questions were raised for the Sens, primarily, do you break up the so called ‘Big Three’? Or do [...]

This is awesome, Dwight and Jameer discussing different costume ideas for this year’s Dunk Contest. JE Skeets from Ball Don’t Lie informed me I’m a tool for thinking this was new last night. Shame, shame. Still funny though.

Imagine Barack Obama had campaigned on the premise of, “The country is messed up. But if you elect me now, I’ll be ready to make promises for the 2012 campaign.” Would he have received a single vote? Well…the Toronto Blue Jays want you to spend your money watching and supporting the team, having used that [...]

Air Georgia – Video of the Day

I contend that last year’s NBA D-League Dunk Contest was almost as exciting as the NBA’s version. I mean, Brent Pettway (Air Georgia) even repeated all of Dwight Howard’s dunks later that week at a practice facility. The eventual winner, Pettway has now won the NCAA Dunk Contest and the NBA D-League Dunk Contest, leading [...]

1) Andy Samberg’s ascension to comedy genius is really worth noting. Also, T-Pain is the man. I’m on a boat, motherf****r. 2) Again, Samberg and The Lonely Island group are dominating YouTube right now. It makes me want to Jizz in My Pants. 3) I’m not sure how to explain this one, but it works. [...]

Here’s a quick and early look at who could be going where come April’s NFL draft. 1)DET- QB Matthew Stafford- The Lions have holes everywhere to fill but QB remains a #1 priority. A safer pick could be an OT, which they also need badly. 2)STL-OT Andre Smith- I could also see the Rams taking [...]
