It has been a tough season for the South Carolina Gamecocks. Steve Spurrier retired in the middle of the season, the team is languishing at 3-7, and what makes it more painful is that at this moment, the number one team in the country is their hated rival: the Clemson Tigers. 2015 doesn’t look like […]

There was a big controversy in the world of sports that I totally made up, as Jerry Rice donned a Cowboys jersey for a McDonald’s ad. It was an affront to every sense. Well as it turns out, I might have buried the lead. You see, the other iconic NFL figure in these Game Time […]

Since we could all use a little positive news right now, I give you Marshawn Lynch … vilified in some circles as a rabble rouser because of his complicated relationship with the media. But the Seahawks RB knows how to brighten a young man’s day. In return for a simple compliment, Lynch gave $500 to […]

There’s a certain joy in eating. Savoring every bite. Enjoying the subtle flavors of a dish. Letting each taste hang on your tongue until the very last moment. This is why what Kelly Olynyk tried to do on a team flight offends me. In the tradition of the cinnamon challenge, the Peeps challenge, and the […]

Tom Brady went through the appeals process for deflate-gate, and was exonerated of his crimes of being “generally aware” of lower PSI levels in footballs. But that means nothing to a 7-Eleven in Aurora, CO. They make their feelings clear on their receipts: I guess Brady isn’t getting free loaded Doritos in Aurora anytime soon. […]

For an ad for McDonald’s, that’s why. It’s McDonald’s “Game Time Gold” promotion, where you peel off game pieces, some of which have NFL helmets. I guess if you get one of these then you forfeit all of your loyalties and history to attempt to win a free Shamrock Shake or something. For all you […]

Last night’s Game 1 of the 2015 World Series had it all. A leadoff inside the park home run, a television power outage, a game tying ninth inning home run, and a walk off victory in the fourteenth inning. Lost in all that was a stolen base in the sixth inning by Lorenzo Cain: Your […]

Jose Bautista’s home run in Game 5 of the ALDS yesterday will go down in baseball lore … in large part for the timing and the importance. But also just as much for the bat flip of all bat flips. Of all things, an ice cream shop in Canada has immortalized the bat flip into chalk […]

Congratulations to the Kansas City Royals for advancing to the American League Championship Series with a 7-2 victory over the Houston Astros in a deciding Game 5 of the ALDS. What it all means is that Nick Beffer, general manager of Jack Stack Barbecue in K.C., won himself some barbecue from Houston. Nick Beffer runs a […]

Morrison’s is a food chain in Great Britian. All they wanted to do was celebrate the great sport of rugby by selling a rugby themed pizza. Now look, we know that the rugby ball is more of an oblong shape with more rounded tips at the edges. But when Morrison’s arranged the pepperoni on the […]

Well no wonder Matt Harvey missed a mandatory workout yesterday … he must have been busy trying to finish this big helmet full of ice cream: A better touch to this commercial would have been to pan to the opposite corner of the commissary at the end … to a weeping Bartolo Colon who is […]

Leave it to the Texas Rangers … the innovators of food items such as the “Choomongous” and the “Boomstick”, to celebrate their playoff berth with a whole new menu of food for the playoffs, to be served at Globe Life Park. And this postseason parcel isn’t any less spectacular. Check out this lineup of the […]

It’s been a tough year for Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema. After ragging on Ohio State’s strength of schedule compared to his beloved SEC, Bielema led his team to a 16-12 loss … to Toledo. Then he ran his mouth after getting smoked by Texas Tech and looked like a fool. Going into his matchup with […]

Caron Butler has an autobiography that he’s promoting called “Tuff Juice”. Seems like a great read which features a story about how a police officer made a choice not to convict him for drug distribution when he easily could have. And Butler also discusses addiction in the book … His addiction to Mountain Dew. During […]
