Let’s take a quick look at what transpired at the 2013 Grammy Awards last night — here’s a quick list of 10 observations that stood out to me: 1. Whatever in holy hell Frank Ocean was talking about during his acceptance speech had most of America like, “Is Frank Ocean getting ready to put down [...]

Let’s have a moment of silence for the end of a great football season. Thanks. Sunday’s Super Bowl turned out to be a great game after what started to looked like a historic beatdown. In the end, the better team won and the game was exciting, which is all you can ask for (unless you [...]
(Preface: I am a devoted Niners fan. I am completely biased, I think our poo poo smells like Pledge and fried chicken. These are my thoughts, I sleep through the night.) I have labored through this… and this… then this… And then there was this… Then alas… Nonetheless, it’s a good time to be a [...]

We have reached the unofficial halfway point of the NBA season and a few storylines have jumped to the top of the news. The Lakers suck. The Pelicans logo ain’t half bad. The Old Sacramento Kings are the new Seattle Sonics. Stephen Curry was the only real snub from the All-Star team. Last Sunday, the Boston [...]

These NFL Playoffs have been entertaining on multiple levels. Tony Gonzalez and Ray Lewis are writing the final chapters of Hall of Fame careers. The Harbaughs are making history as coaches. And, most importantly, the games have (mostly) kept us on the edge of the couch. Another development happened right in front of us: the [...]
After such an amazing weekend of playoff football in the NFL, the games this week almost seem anticlimactic (apologies to the fans of teams who are still in it of course). I recently moved, and spent the week without TV or a working pump for my air mattress – but that’s another story. This weekend’s [...]
The Robert Griffin III Experience ended last Sunday in the NFC Wild Card round against the Seattle Seahawks. By the end of the game, the Twitterverse had moved beyond analyzing the play on the field. Instead, Mike Shanahan, the Redskins Head Coach, and his decision to play Griffin despite the lingering effects of his gruesome [...]
After an exciting Week 17 in the NFL, it’s time to recap a wild regular season and start thinking about the playoffs. Here’s what held my attention the past few months: Adrian Peterson is better at life than all of us – It’s true. After tearing almost everything important in his knee in Week 15 [...]
The holidays are here, and that means a lot of things: time off from work, time with family, and time in front of the television watching the NBA. Just like the NFL on Thanksgiving, the NBA has expanded its schedule to own today along with Santa. The only drawback is that time with the TV [...]

It’s finally time to admit it: the New York Knicks are contenders for the Eastern Conference — even if they did get blown out by the Rockets…twice. I thoroughly enjoy ribbing Knick fans because there is so much material (Isiah Thomas, 40 years without a title, Eddy Curry, Jerome James, etc.) and they always react. [...]
