One of my favorite holidays is in full-swing. It’s a day when the beauty of spring is in its fullest splendor. It’s a day for rebirth and renewal. It’s a day with no regrets when anything is possible.   I’m speaking, of course, about Opening Day.   I’m an atheist, which means I don’t have the right to observe any religion’s holidays (On occasion I have been mistaken for, beseeched to become, or half-seriously referred to as, Jewish. Alas, I’m not that cool. And I still have my foreskin). I’veRead More

Madness has transpired, the dust has cleared, and we’re left with sixteen contenders for one trophy. Here’s how I see the next two days playing out. Feel free to give me hell in the comment section when I get only one or two of these correct. Here goes: 1 – Dayton beats Stanford The Flyers are 3.5 point underdogs here, but no matter: Dayton will beat Stanford today. The Cardinal did beat Kansas…but that was without the Jayhawks star big man Joel Embiid on the court. Meanwhile, the Flyers haveRead More

Alright guys. It’s two in the morning, and I’ve done very little except watch basketball for the past four days. This is by no means a complaint; actually, thank the Lord Almighty for four straight days of the sporting world’s greatest spectacle – college ball. But man, has it been a frenzy. I’ll make this intro brief: Madness has been Madness; giants have fallen (Kansas, Villanova, Wichita State, Duke, Cincinnati, Ohio State, and more), a few groups of men are looking fantastic in glass slippers (Dayton, Tennessee, Stanford), and aRead More

March is a special month. It’s our transition into springtime, and with it comes warmer weather for most of the country. For those in the polar vortex, this warm stuff could not come a moment too soon. But for the next two weeks, let’s return to the great indoors for some special hardwood madness. Whether you attended a division 1 powerhouse or took one class at a community college, we all appreciate the NCAA tournament. It’s the closest thing we have to magic, only it’s real. And so is thisRead More

Selections = made. Matchups = set. It’s time for the absolute BEST time of the year for any true sports fan: MARCH. F*CKING. MADNESS. Get ready for a wild two-plus weeks, folks, as this year is setting up to be one of the craziest in recent memory. Three of last year’s Final Four are in the same freaking region. Last year’s champs, Louisville, are somehow a 4-seed. Wichita State is the first team to enter the NCAA Tourney unbeaten since 1991…and not many people truly believe in them. There areRead More

Have you ever dreamed you were hanging out with your favorite athletes? That you were essentially in their world? So close, you can feel their quickness, agility, and ungodly talent. So close you can see and hear their interactions with teammates and opponents. Use your imagination. Pretend there are 20 basketball courts lined up next to each other, and there are All-Star players practicing at each one. Lebron plays one-on-one with Paul Pierce. Next to them, Kevin Durant and Damian Lillard play some horse. Oh, and Blake Griffin is tryingRead More

Before winter ends, let’s appreciate some more winter sports! Our own Ascher Robbins was up in Vail, Colorado for the Burton U.S. Open Snowboarding Championships this weekend. Here are some of the sick photos he was able to snap.        Read More

1. Isle of Man Race Statistically the most dangerous race in the world, the Isle of Man race has killed over 240 of its racers. The race is a motorcycle tourist trophy race held on the Isle of Man. It was first organized in 1907 and continues today. It survived both world wars, has seen different classes-  from amateur, to expert, and even side-car. It is now a high speed, high risk, and completely badass motorcycle race, deserving of your attention. 2. Free Climbing In the world of free climbing,Read More

Golf is a word that makes most of you yawn. But the sport itself is anything but yawn-worthy. It’s a chess match. A game of mental toughness and opportunity where the individual has no one to blame but himself. Besides, I bet most of you haven’t given the sport a chance. Am I right? Or am I REALLY right?   Challenge Both in career and in sport, most humans embrace challenges. While it’s instinctual for most, going back to our hunter/gatherer days, there are many in our generation that lackRead More

Hawes is a mid-level center who is a valuable commodity for the Cavaliers. Hawes gets an opportunity to play for a team that absolutely wants to make the playoffs, despite a dearth of talent. Cleveland is only 5 games out of the playoff picture right now meaning that Hawes will get to play for a team that’s trying for the rest of the year. He’s also going to be a free agent soon. 2) Evan Turner to the Pacers. Danny Granger to the Sixers Evan Turner should provide offense offRead More

Monday is upon us again…let’s ease the pain with a sexy dude. -Matt Kemp- Twitter: @therealmattkemp Instagram: bmdc27 Known for: Playing outfield for the LA Dodgers. -We all love a man in uniform, especially in some baseball pants, am I right?! Matt Kemp is currently living in California, playing for the Dodgers. He has an incredible smile, gorgeous eyes, and the boy can dress! I’m not the biggest baseball fan, I’ll admit, but I would have no problem sticking around for 9 innings to stare at this babe of a man. Before you hit the followRead More

So Sports Illustrated just came out with their latest Swimsuit Issue, which you probably already knew…unless you HATE social media, women, and fun in general. The best part? The always-captivating Kate Upton had an interesting series of photos for the magazine – she was photographed in a zero-gravity plane, far above the ground that mere mortals like you and I have to walk upon. When Tal Bachman released his hit song (you should be listening to this while viewing the photos), it seems clear he was predicting the stratospheric rise ofRead More

I know the internet is obsessed with cats and curling. So, why not put them together? I can’t wait to see this sport in the next winter games! Yes.Read More
