Congrats to the Miami Heat and especially LeBron James for victory last night in the 2012 NBA Championships. With this monkey off his back, I hope LeBron can accomplish the other two goals that keep him up at night: Inventing a time machine so he can go back and keep […]
Chargers great LaDainian Tomlinson retired today dressed as Orville Redenbacher, which seems to be a thing with black athletes today. Nice try, black guys. You might have tricked Larry David, but you haven’t tricked me.
The body of NFL great Junior Seau was found by his housekeeper today. He died of what appears to be a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the chest. I’d hate to learn he died due to a woman spurning him or some other transitory garbage. In my experience, unless you have […]

I’d prefer a return to the days of Up with People to Madonna. At least they have comedic value. For a league that fields the finest sports product known to the face of the Earth, the NFL (if you were expecting me to say anything other than the NFL, please […]
