Gregg Doyel: I f***ing hope you’re joking.

Mister Gregg Doyel, a polemic entrepreneur over at CBSSports dot com, is hardly known for his unbiased writing. In fact, the main reason he makes his salary from Fox is the fact that he creates biased arguments which lead to high traffic. That’s really about it, given that half his writing is of the “I’m drunk [...]

We reminisce: Kenyon Martin and a January night.

Note: back in early 2008, I was writing at a small-time blog and watching too much basketball for my own grades’ good. I came across a Lakers-Nuggets game, and I was instantly glued. It’s no secret that I am a huge Kenyon Martin fan, and given that he was just getting out of his streak of [...]

The Worlds, Day 2

- I am really looking forward to the Brazil-USA matchup, if only for the chance to see Splitter at full strength against NBA competition. It appears Tiago is also looking ahead, because he hasn’t looked like he’s gone all-out against either Iran or Tunisia. The clash of styles between the versatile Odom and Love and the rugged [...]

The Worlds, Day 1

Andrew Albicy. Remember the name.

Throughout the World Championship, I will be posting observations, news or rants for every game day. Here’s what caught my attention tonight.

- France’s Andrew Albicy will be a star. I hadn’t seen the Youth Eurobasket’s MVP play against senior competition yet, and he did not disappoint me. The 5-10, 20-year old [...]

I’m at a loss for words…

I would usually have something to say, but I guess a picture is really worth more than a [...]

A tribute to Ronaldinho.

I am a Barcelona native and a futbol fan. In plain English, this means I am spoiled.

My first soccer memories go back to the “Dream Team”, a juggernaut led by coach Johan Cruyff that went on to win four straight La Liga titles, throwing in the 1992 European Cup (now known as the UEFA Champions League) [...]

OurSpot.TV Podcast #4

This week its Micheal and Chris on the podcast.

The first topic was initially brought up by Joel last podcast, Dr. Laura.  Was the N-word the worst part of the rant or was there more?

The second topic is where President Obama is over exposed in the media?  Is his media exposure of his own creation or will [...]

Ozzie’s rants are good for baseball.

Ozzie Guillen’s rants do not provide a particularly easy topic to broach. On some subjects, he is wildly opinionated to the point where his arguments lose weight because of his irrational defense of them. Other times, the infantile nature of his points gives observers an easy path to ambivalence: the end result may be worthwhile, but [...]

Albert Haynesworth, you have to be @$#%ing kidding us.

If you had 100 million dollars, you could;

1- buy 369 average-priced homes, according to the USA’s Census Bureau

2- buy 3521 average-priced new cars, according to the Federal Trade Commission

3- put your kid through 952 4-year degrees in a private college, according to the College Board

4- provide the median income for 1923 households, according to the Census [...]

A Texas-sized mess. And we could have seen it coming.

The Texas Rangers have one of the most curious backstories of any major sports franchise. From the fact that they were sold to Bob Short pretty much on credit alone to George W. Bush buying a stake  on the team (and later flipping it for 30 times its value) while Daddy was conveniently in the Oval Office, [...]
