I do love me some ugly Christmas sweaters!

You don’t see things like this very often from a guy who is 6’0, 160 lbs but this was one bad ass follow up dunk. I’m hoping that Brandon Jennings will be able to pull these kinds of plays once in a while.
Merry Christmas
With everything that has gone on in sports over the holidays, it’s time to organize our thoughts. Let’s see what goes on in my twisted little mind…. HERE ARE 10 HOLIDAY THOUGHTS………………..
Former Ohio State star turned ESPN analyst, Chris Carter, will be able to watch the Rose Bowl with his son, Duron Carter. Little Carter has joined Ray Small and Rob Rose on the list of Buckeyes who won’t be participating in the Rose Bowl against the Ducks of Oregon.
“It is especially disappointing when young people lose the privilege to compete, especially because it is the Rose Bowl and they are seniors,” Tressel said.
Ohio State confirmed last week that Carter would be out but provided no reason, though a source told ESPN.com it was because of academics. The same source told ESPN.com that both Small and Rose violated a team rule. Rose had also been in some academic trouble following the release of fall quarter grades.
As a Buckeye fan, I am and always will be severely biased, but comments on the ESPN story seem to indicate what I already thought anyway.
If this happened with Urban Meyer’s Gators, for example, many have the feeling that things would be different. Some suggest that Meyer would simply keep a player out for a series if their grades fell short. Given that was Meyer’s original punishment for the whole eye gouging fiasco, one has to wonder if he’d do anything at all. Continue Reading »
Michael Vick has paid his debt to society and should be allowed to play in the NFL again. I have no problem with that. But this right here is fucking absurd.
The Eagles announced this morning that Vick’s teammates have voted him as this year’s recipient of the Ed Block Courage Award, which is given annually to a player who exemplifies commitment to the principles of sportsmanship and courage.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said the vote was a unanimous one. Actually, it wasn’t. Vick said he had a vote and that he didn’t cast his for himself.
So there you have it – the Eagles (of course the fucking Eagles) think that out of everyone on their team, Michael Vick was the most courageous. Because let’s face it, it takes a lot of courage to spend time in jail after electrocuting dogs.
I think what makes me so uncomfortable with all of this is that the vote was unanimous. I mean, not one fucking guy on the Eagles thought to himself, “Wow, this is pretty fucked up. Maybe we shouldn’t give an award for courage to a guy who was running a dogfighting ring.”
Just another day that I’m proud to be a human being.
The leader of the TCU Horned Frogs has been voted as the coach of the year by the AP.
Gary Patterson guided TCU to its best season in 70 years on the way to becoming the first Associated Press Coach of the Year from outside the six conferences with automatic BCS bids.
Patterson led the Horned Frogs to a perfect regular season, their second Mountain West Conference title, their first BCS appearance and even had them vying for a spot in the national championship game.
Gosh, how nice of the AP! To go out of their way and vote Coach Patterson from the under-appreciated Horned Frogs as coach of the year. Now how many votes did the Horned Frogs get from the AP to be the number one team?
Zero. Continue Reading »
Everyone knows that you don’t mess with a man’s woman, and you don’t mess with a man’s money. Chad Kreuter broke the latter unwritten rule, and Chan Ho Park isn’t too happy about it.
Park — who’s currently playing for the Philadelphia Phillies — claims he loaned the cash to former Dodgers catcher Chad Kreuter back in 2005.
In the lawsuit, filed today in L.A. County Superior Court, Park says he made the loan because Kreuter “had been a highly compensated Major League Baseball player” and he assured Park that he “would have no difficulty paying [Park] back.”
According to the suit, Kreuter signed a promissory note for the debt, but only made one payment for $290,000.
I guess it was pretty nice of Park to lend his boy Chad some money, but you can’t sit around forever listening to the excuses of a deadbeat.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned about Park from this story, though, it isn’t that he’s a nice guy who’s willing to lend money. And it isn’t that he’s the type of guy who will drag your ass to court if you don’t pay him back. No, it’s pretty clear that Park is terrible at evaluating talent and should never hold a managerial position with a baseball team when his playing career is finished. I mean, just because Kreuter tells you he’s gonna have the money doesn’t mean you have to believe him. If Park had lent money to, say, Russ Martin, then yeah, I think payment of the debt is pretty likely. But you can’t count on a guy born in 1964 with a career .692 OPS to be making money playing baseball.
A quick perusing of Moneyball could have helped Park avoid this whole fiasco.
