Bruce Jacobs — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 03:51:07 +0000

Dino Laurenzi Jr. is the fella's name, and he isn't happy. In fact, he is on the offense.

The 5 Things I Hate Most In Sports

Pierce Brix — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:13:49 +0000

It’s Valentine’s Day; a day of flowers, chocolate and romance. Heart doilies are draped across office cubicles, and everywhere you go you’re flooded with theme of love. Its cute, but it’s a bit much. So, in order to break up the momentous theme of the day, here are the 5 things I HATE most about sports right now:

5. The Peyton Manning speculation - Miami? Washington? What about the Raiders? If this baseless “coverage” of Peyton’s off-season drags on for the next few months, which it will, it will be miles worse than anything Brett Farve ever put us through. There is literally no new information on where Peyton is going to wind up, and there won’t be until at least mid-March, so can we please, as a nation, stop talking about it.

4. The fact that T.O. was voted one of the 10 most hated athletes - He didn’t even play this season. He’s virtually retired. If you hate him so much and want him to fade away, then stop bringing him up all the damn time.

3. Linsanity – Sike! I love this guy. Lin-Tin-Tin, this dude is my dawg!

Braun Keeps His MVP

Bruce Jacobs — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 03:43:16 +0000

The question to me is why? Why would a cheater who cheated to get that vaunted award get to keep it. Let me answer that. Gutless baseball writers that's why. Jack O'Connell who is the secretary-treasurer of the baseball writers says no the award will not be stripped from Braun

Bruce Jacobs — Sun, 11 Dec 2011 15:44:31 +0000

How dumb can you be? Seriously ask yourself that if you are Ryan Braun. Lets count the ways. 1) You know the league is testing for cheaters yet it looks like you cheated. 2) You are the star on your club especially since it looks like the Price is on the move
