As if, with March Madness beginning tonight (technically, I guess…), the VoD could be anything but the obligatory annual hype machine that is a Gus Johnson mash-up!

I watched The Natural for the first time this week. Please don’t question why it took one of the world’s biggest sports movie fans until he was 22 to see one of the best sports movies ever made. Anyway, I enjoyed it. If you can suspend your disbelief (and it’s a movie, so you better [...]
Ridiculous Goal Calls – Video of the Day

So, this is the Florida Panthers play-by-play guy. Obviously, any announcer who quotes Vince Vaughn or Will Ferrell after most goals is awesome. One who also just yells random stuff unrelated to hockey after every goal is double-awesome. This guy is also on Off the Record today. Thanks to Vin Weasel for the tip, wacka [...]

It seems that on today’s NBA landscape, every player falls into one of two broad-spectrum classifications: under or overrated.

Jays fans, of course, I’m talking to you. Somehow though, when you cheer for a losing team, playing in [...]

It`s not Jimmy Fallon. It`s not even Dane Cook. People hate the Red Sox and their fans for stupid stuff like this. It`s just weird.
The Definition of a Real Hockey Player

Dion Phaneuf, Georges Laraque, Riley Cote, Donald Brashear. What comes to mind when you hear these names? I think of the biggest, meanest, most intimidating, most feared players in the National Hockey League.

Pedroia Can Hit That Pitch – Video of the Day

You have to give it up to The World’s Smallest MVP for his self-deprecation in the new series of MLB The Show commercials. If his play hasn’t yet, these might win you over.

The Weekend Connect is a weekly round-up piece I’m going to be experimenting with, recapping the week past (ODC articles, links from around the internet, etc) and pointing you in the direction of the weekend ahead. Feedback on what you would like to see included would be appreciated. First: I am terribly sorry for the [...]
