Kevin Calabro Speaks Out on Sonics Departure from Seattle — and I’m Glad
Wednesday, July 9th, 2008It’s refreshing to see that not everyone is a talking head — some people (like Sonice announcer Kevin Calabro) actually care and are willing to be honest with the media.
Another Great Game. This One with an Unfortunate Ending
Sunday, June 15th, 2008Damn — the Lakers pulled it off tonight.
Yes, Paul Pierce, KG, and Ray are unbelievable players, but I really have to wonder where the Celtics would be without James Posey? That guy is unbelievable. His box score numbers don’t stand out, but the guy plays amazing defense and is always in the right position for […]
WOW, What a Great Game
Thursday, June 12th, 2008Celtics 97. Lakers 91. The NBA Finals doesn’t get much better than tonight’s Lakers-Celtics game.
Griffey Hits 600
Monday, June 9th, 2008I agree with Tim Kurkjian — Griffey was unbelievable in his prime.
Have You Ever Seen Someone 5′9″ Do This?
Sunday, March 2nd, 2008I’m guessing not, but look no further than this video of Nate Robinson (who went to High School locally at Rainier Beach).
Marvel Comics Shooting Themselves in the Foot the Same Way the Recording Industry Did
Tuesday, December 4th, 2007There’s an interesting article about Marvel Comics on TechDirt worth reading [via Techmeme]. The premise? Marvel is following in the footsteps of the recording industry — straight towards being a non-player in the online world. To me, it sounds like Marvel Comics is shooting themselves in the foot. Fighting online distribution of old content is […]
Rap Video by Seattle Sonics Guy (Paul Brogan)
Monday, November 5th, 2007Being from Seattle, I couldn’t resist this video my colleague sent around today.
Which Sports Player do You Hate the Most??
Monday, September 17th, 2007Today, my buddy sent me a link to this article by Jonah Keri at ESPN page 2 — titled “100 Players You Love to Hate.” This article is a can’t miss for any sports fan. I’m sure almost every sports fan has several players they just despise — I certainly do. If you’re a seattle […]
The Most BORING Western Conference Finals EVER
Friday, May 18th, 2007So, I’m sad to say that the Suns lost to the Spurs tonight and were eliminated from the NBA play-offs. Let’s be serious — the Spurs - Jazz match-up in the western conference finals is likely going to be the most boring western conference finals EVER. I hate the Jazz. I hate the Spurs. I […]
Steve Nash is the Best Player in the NBA
Sunday, April 29th, 2007Yes, Nash is the best player in the NBA. Note I didn’t say “most talented.” I’m watching the Lakers-Suns game on ABC right now and Steve Nash is simply amazing. 15 assists at halftime. No question about it — if I had to pick 1 player to have on my team, it would be Nash. […]
Jackie Robinson Tribute
Sunday, April 15th, 2007Today marks the 60 year anniversary of Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball by playing for the Brooklyn Dodgers. Numerous players wore Jackie’s #42 today in his honor, which commissioner Bud Selig encouraged following Ken Griffey Jr’s request to wear the number. This year’s national celebration took place at Dodger Stadium. […]
Were the 95-96 Bulls the Best Team Ever?
Sunday, April 1st, 2007There is a great feature on ESPN about question of whether the 72-win Bulls were the best team ever. Here’s an interview with Scottie Pippen. I think Pippen (one of my favorite players of all time) is absolutely right — the Bulls’ defense was the reason they were so dominant. Though I’d love to say […]
Kobe Bryant is Better than Michael Jordan? Please…
Monday, March 26th, 2007ESPN Page 2 has an interesting column by Jemele Hill titled “Putting Kobe in Perspective.”
Is Kobe better than Jordan? Maybe, maybe not. The thing is — I don’t really care who people think is the better player. I don’t respect Kobe Bryant as a person, so I’ll always think higher of Jordan. Kobe is selfish. […]
Dwyane Wade Not A Leader?
Friday, February 9th, 2007This is ridiculous — Mark Cuban is asking whether Dwyane Wade is a leader?? Are you kidding me? And before giving my response, I wanted to mention that I was fully planning on leaving a comment on his blog only to find that Cuban turned comments off of this specific post (see screen shot below […]
