The good-ol’ boys at Texas Tech are probably doing a boot-scoot boogie over the Mike Leach videos that orangebloods.com bestowed to the world this morning, uncensored videos that show the recently-canned coach giving his players hell in the locker room. Leach hits a variety of subjects, not least...

In sports, pessimism is your friend

In sports, pessimism is your friend...
One of my main philosophies in life is “don’t get your hopes up.” And I am absolutely maniacal in my attempts to keep my hopes at subpar levels. For instance, I’ll never jinx my favorite team, even if they have the most insurmountable lead in the history of insurmountable leads....

NFL Playoffs: Bad games, then bad calls

NFL Playoffs: Bad games, then bad calls...
This morning reminded me of a wintry morning in Lake Tahoe, 23 years ago. Only much less painful. From their status as the most feared franchise in professional football to the exaggerated cleft in their quarterback’s chin, let’s face it: the Patriots are this generation’s 49ers. Doesn’t...

NFL starters sent to slaughter...
There was something off about NFL Sunday this, err, Sunday. It started with the 49ers/Rams game, which featured the most pathetic offensive first half since the forward pass was made legal. Then NFL starters who should have been resting for the playoffs started dropping like WNBA players on slippery...

Let’s hope for different talking points in 2010

Got the NFL RedZone channel yesterday in a fit of fantasy football paranoia, and I couldn’t be happier. $5 a month on Comcast, who knew?!?! I probably would have paid about $50 to avoid the pair of football games we non-DirecTV NFL Package people had forced upon us yesterday. Raiders/Browns, followed...

We’re the nation’s punching bag

This is getting old. Maybe it says in the sports blogging handbook (which is only available in soft-copy, as far as I know) that on the day the 49ers’ season ended and the Raiders’ season got even more surreal, that I should write about each teams’ seasons as a whole and where they...

10 Things I’m thankful for...
It’s the time of year when you’re supposed to forget your problems. Don’t have a job? At least you have your health. Don’t have much money in your bank account? At least you have a roof over your head. Don’t have a good team to root for in your Greater Metro Area? At least...

Al Davis: I am extremely upset. I have crafted a stadium, a coliseum, a mausoleum of epic proportions. It even bares tha great name of tha father of tha AFL and NFL: Mount Davis. That’s why I called this meeting so we can all brainrain, or whatever tha young people call it nowadays. Why has Oakland...

Raider revelations with the Man in White

Raider revelations with the Man in White...
What do Phil Spector, Robert Blake, and Mr. Al Davis have in common? It’s a good question, so think about it before you rush to answer. All three are the same person, but Spector went into music, Blake into acting, and Davis went into football. All three are totally washed up icons who have shat...

They go big in Oakland. Whether you’re talking about sideshows or sports FAIL. The Raiders would have dropped the hammer on Tom “At least I slapped her with an open hand” Cable already, except he’s taking the fall in an elaborate coverup of what really happened to Randy Hanson...
