Weekend Quick Hitters

Those NFL Live United commercials have gotten to the point where I want to punch a hole through my TV each time they are on.  I get it – Drew Brees, Santana Moss, Eli Manning, Adrian Peterson, Bob Sanders (did I miss any?) all do community service – but the same damn commercials have been [...]

NBA Nightcap – May 30th Edition

Saw Terminator: Salvation tonight and as Dr. Greenbaumberg said – it really fell apart in the last 30 minutes. One thought I couldn’t quite get over the entire movie was that if I’m part of the resistance I would probably just give up.  That’s right – I, Scott Howard, will gladly give myself up to [...]

Tim Hasselback is as Good at his Analyst Job as He Was At Football

I promised myself I wouldn’t use this blog to blatantly attack people when they don’t agree with my obvious biases – wait! It’s the exact opposite! So guess what? Tim Hasselback – you’re a sucky loser. If you missed it – and you probably did – Mr. Elizabeth Hasselback is apparently now an analyst for [...]

NBA Nightcap – May 29th Edition

I really don’t like night clubs.  I don’t get the appeal – they’re loud, crowded, and the drinks are expensive.  They basically just completely suck.  So to recap – like Nightcaps, hate night clubs. Lakers 119 Nuggets 92 – The Kobe puppet survives.  A series that had been relatively competitive through 5 games ended in [...]

5:01

Every Friday we designate this weekend’s honorary drinker. You know, like a parade marshal. Except cooler. This week’s honorary drinker is Jasper Newton “Jack” “John” Daniel (when you know him as well as I do, you call him John).  A distiller, a life-long bachelor, and a “Who’s More Grizzled?” three-time champion.  Get a glass and [...]

Shivashankar Spells Championship

Thirteen-year-old Kavya Shivashankar of Olathe, Kansas claimed this year’s award for the biggest destroyed childhood — also known as the Scripps National Spelling Bee Champion.  Her winning word: Laodicean (FYI – spell check doesn’t even freaking recognize this word.)  Laodicean, as we all know, means “the dicean.”  Recently, the difficulty of the words has skyrocketed [...]

Joe Paterno Will Be Dead in the Cold Cold Ground Before Catholics Are Allowed in the Big Ten

Early this week at an alumni event, octogenarian Joe Paterno said he would not welcome Notre Dame to the Big Ten. He said he would like to see Rutgers, Pittsburgh or Syracuse join the Big Ten so that the conference can expand from 11 teams to 12 and have an important conference championship game. Notre Dame has [...]

ESPN NFL Writer Power Rankings Based on Looks: May 2009 Edition

As you may be aware, ESPN recently released their NFL Power Rankings for the month of May. We here at SoD thought it was about time we added our two cents. However we all quickly realized that regurgitating rankings on the teams would be pretty boring (particularly in May) so we reverted to what makes [...]

Delaware Gets Cool

Earlier this week the Delaware Supreme Court approved an ass load of awesome. Delaware’s high court ruled that the state constitution did not conflict with a bill allowing sports betting. The NFL, in an attempt to piss on the wishes of a state with no NFL team, argued against the measure. Delaware is the 4th [...]

NBA Nightcap – May 28th Edition

Is there a greater joy in life than plowing through an entire season or series of a good TV show on DVD? I say there is not. Even though I’ve already seen it, I’m working my way through How I Met Your Mother (season 2) right now. Cavs 112 Magicians 102 – Hey Magic…I’d win [...]
