Get $10 off your purchase of $119.99 or more on any colored contact lenses with code COLOR10 Hi, Rajon Rondo.  You have been playing really well lately.  Congrats.  Yet, the media does not seem to be going into any kind of Rondelirium.  Your fans are not organizing into groups and calling themselves Ronbros.  Would you [...]

Yesterday I wrote an article debating which recent NBA players deserve to have their jerseys retired, but there were more players under consideration than I had realized, and this is the part 2 spillover. Jason Kidd (Dallas, New Jersey, Phoenix) Should Have His Jersey Retired- (no, no, no) Kidd is the prototypical example of a [...]

I woke up last night in a cold sweat.  Shivering, I wrapped myself in my Snoopy blanket like a human enchilada and prayed that the news was just one of those fake stories you read in publications like the Enquirer or the one that often features pictures of animal/human hybrids and alcoholic babies with two [...]

I am a fan of the New York Giants.  You might have noticed that they won the Super Bowl last night, bolstering the potential Hall-of-Fame resumes of Eli Manning and Tom (Cough)lin.  They also locked down what basically amounts to permanent bragging rights against the most successful team of this era (there is an outside [...]

I feel bad for Danny Ainge.  I really do.  He hasn’t done anything wrong (well, other than accepting a job with the Boston Celtics).  In fact, for as much as he is sometimes derided for not giving enough leeway to the current iteration of this team, he anticipated the expiration date on their potential ability [...]

On many occasions, I have lunch at a local sandwich shop, Gino’s (If you’re ever in California, look it up.  It’s the home of the Stuffed Sandwich!).  Behind the  counter there always stands a diminutive little lady sporting a ton of cleavage in a lowered area, ready to take my order.  Now, I don’t mean [...]

The NBA has always had a tendency to draw in the insane rantings of conspiracy nuts.  From the frozen Patrick Ewing envelope to asserting that referees help determine outcomes, their wacky theories have always been prevalent in conversations about the league.  Well, today is a good day for you, crazies!  You won.  David Stern just [...]

Suppose for a moment that you’re a 10 year old child.  You’re really good at kickball.  In fact, you’re better than anyone else in your class.  Except for perhaps another kid.  Lets call him Tim.  You are chosen to be a team captain and have your choice of teammates.  Do you select Tim and give [...]

DEAR CALVIN, I used to be a professional basketball player for a well-known organization.  I can’t tell you the name of the league I played for, but for the sake of this conversation we can refer to it as The BNA.  Recently, our owners decided that they didn’t like our labor agreement and locked us [...]

David Stern might have rolled off his Tempurpedic mattress this morning and looked back at it only to realize his body had never even made an imprint.  His footed pajamas would have been walking on sunshine as he listened to his Zune play ELO’s “Mr. Blue Sky”.  After a quick smug, sarcastic comment for his [...]
