Look, I get it. You love your team. You live and die with their performance. You have season tickets. You go to away games. You dress up in the team jersey and/or a silly costume (certain AFL throwback jerseys this season qualify as both), yell your guts out, cheer the great plays, and boo the [...]
Steve Phillips is the former GM of the New York Mets, and a current ESPN commentator. He married with four kids. He also apparently has a 22 year old on the side, who wrote a lovely letter to Mrs. Phillips that landed with the New York Post. Ouch. Now, I’m happily married and would never [...]
I used to think Brett Favre games on Monday Night Football were bad when John Madden was doing colour commentary. But that was before I “enjoyed” the current crew heaping loads upon loads of love on Favre. Was it referring to his ‘career night’ when he had 250 yards and 3TDs in the fourth? That’s a [...]
Rich Gannon always struck me as a smart Quarterback who always knew what was going on. Meticulous in his preparation, nobody was going to make a fool of ol’ Rich. Well, apparently that isn’t translating to the broadcast booth so much. In the dying seconds of overtime in their game against the Browns (ick), the Bengals [...]
We had to listen to this media-driven garbage all last year, and I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit through another NBA season having to listen to how LeBron James is going to play for the Knicks next year. We all know the arguments for and against Lebron going anywhere, including the Knicks. And [...]
I was watching the Minnesota / San Fran game on Sunday, and something stuck out to me. It wasn’t how completely awful the 49′ers played on third down. It wasn’t Brett Favre’s 4th quarter comeback. It was the refs. I am all for “attracting new fans”, especially in this economy, the NFL needs to do everything [...]
Ever. He should never put the headset on again. He’s terrible. Al Davis was right to get rid of him. Tampa Bay made the right call, regardless of their record so far this season. The game has passed him by, he’s out of touch, time to hang ‘em up, John. It’s been a good run. [...]
If there’s one thing I hate in life, it’s 40 year-old white guys using slang. Especially sports commentators. And as a regular ESPN listener, I get the opportunity to hear a lot of sports commentators. And I am so sick and tired of hearing 40 year-old sports guys talking about the Pick 6. I don’t [...]
Now that the regular season is almost finished in most fantasy leagues, I thought I would select the 2009 SportPops Fantasy Football [...]
Normally, I'm not a big fan of women's soccer. But today I found my new favourite soccer player in New Mexico's Elizabeth Lambert. See the [...]
Bill Belichick is an evil genius. You don't usually see Mr. Hoodie on the wrong end of stupidity, but ol' Bill sure pulled a doozie last night. [...]
Imagine, you're a Maurice Jones-Drew owner, and you see him streaking towards an easy TD that will help you take the lead, or at least get a nice [...]
