Let's Start it Up

The original inspiration for this blog was my cousin, a man who himself, during college, wrote a blog about sports. However, unlike the analytical master I have proven to be during my tenure as a blogger, he relied, perhaps to better results, on his wit and vulgarity. This lead, unfortunately, to his inability to continue his blogging career, once he got a stable job, and had a necessity for a clean image. When I began my writing, I had a similar dilemma, as I hoped my blog would look good on college applications, and thus was unable to use much vulgar language. Well now that that whole process is over, I'd like to welcome you all back, and get some things of my chest:

Fuck those motherfucking Detroit Tigers, you goddamn abusers of the MLB system. A team should get like a 1-0 lead in a series for having a regular season record 10 games better than the other team. Because my Oakland A's were more than fucking deserving of an ALCS birth this year. So Justin Verlander can suck it, I'm glad that fat mother fucker Pablo Sandoval wiped the floor with his ass.

I think that the NFL needs a whole article to talk about the clusterfuck that is the AFC, and the problem of Tim Tebow, and all the other stuff that has happened in the past calendar year, so I'll save that for later. But I would like to talk about college football for a second. Alabama, the current number 1 in the country, is clearly leaps and bounds ahead of any other team. At this point I think they could probably even beat the Chiefs. Further, there needs to be a reexamination of the ranking process, but that too I will talk about in another post.

Going back a little farther, I'd like to say that for everyone who made jokes about LeBron not having a ring, or selling out for Miami, you can shut your fucking mouth. Never before has a man been this dominant in his sport in one year (NBA Championship, MVP Award, Olympic gold medal), yes including Michael. All of that talk needs to stop now, and we all need to be ready for him to be dominant for the foreseeable future, even with the addition of Nash and Howard in LA.

That's it for now, but be ready, because this is a new era of blogging, mother fuckers.

    Swearing is good. Real good. I also feel good about the Tide's chances against the Chiefs.

When the Stars Line Up

From 2010 to 2011, Alex Smith gained one receiver, Braylon Edwards . The 49ers backfield gained rookie Kendall Hunter , and the defense acquired rookie linebacker Aldon Smith . There have been some other changes to the 49er roster, but can these fairly insignificant pickups really account for a 9-1 record in week 10, after going 6-10 last year and missing the playoffs in the lowly NFC West? The real change, although it is hard to prove, is coach Jim Harbaugh . Initially, I will note, that other than play calling and technique, I find very little sympathy for people who argue that coaches really make a significant difference in the NFL. And I know that I'll get shit for saying that, but let it go for the time being. After all, one can hardly call Harbaugh a revolutionary college coach, after he basically one the lottery with Andrew Luck and Toby Gerhart leading the Cardinal offense. So for now, imagine Jim Harbaugh has not really accomplished anything. So what makes him such a...

The Phenomena of Dick-Riding in Sports (Athletes)

I have begun to notice as of late, that media outlets such as ESPN, or any newspaper, have a habit of renewing their passion for a player after he does something spectacular. And I say renew because they pretend like they always new he was great. As well, there are cases of people actually having always been good, and in that case, dick-riding is acceptable. However, I refuse to even open my ears when I begin to hear "This is a guy that has been overlooked during his career, but I always saw his true potential", or some bullshit along those lines. After all, what really gives anyone beside Mel Kiper Jr. and Todd McShay, who actually spend their entire lives analyzing NFL Draft prospects, the ability to judge anyone? But my hatred for ESPN analysts whose credentials include a six-year career with eight teams will have to be saved for another day. For now, we examine the phenomena of players that tend to suddenly rise to power. Very regularly, this trend occurs in college spo...

Just When We Thought it Couldn't Get More Boring...

So, I tend to call this period of the sports year "downtime". The only sport in full swing is baseball (no I didn't mean for there to be any irony there). And when baseball is midway through the season, there are no real stories to cover. It can be even further affirmed that this is true when the vast majority of stories on ESPN are concerned with tennis and women's soccer... Yeah, who knew the women's World Cup was this week, it's so exciting. Anyway, the whole point I am trying to make, is that whereas I usually am able to take this time to marvel over blockbuster trades in both professional basketball and football, the masterminds behind the NFL and NBA (Goodell and Stern), are doing everything in their power to make sure that doesn't happen. I yearn for the days of Lebron James ' The Decision , and talk of Brett Favre 's third comeback. But instead, my summer has been haunted by talks of Collective Bargaining Agreements. And seeing as I am n...
