Madison Bumgarner = Boss The San Francisco Giants just know how to win. As an A’s fan, I am jealous and I wonder what could have been had the A’s made it out of the Wild Card round against the Royals. But it doesn’t matter. What I just witnessed was one of the greatest managerial […]

‘Mike Tyson Mysteries’ is just wonderful
Look what @adultswim just sent me. #MikeTysonMysteries premieres next Mon @ 10:30PM ET http://t.co/u1kFymwf6p — Mike Tyson (@MikeTyson) October 20, 2014 Last night, the new show “Mike Tyson Mysteries” aired and I didn’t get to watch it. However, Tyson himself tweeted out the episode on Twitter last week. Did I expect a really great show? Not […]
Who needs ugly NFL sweaters when you have ugly NFL cardigans?
Attention @ChicagoBears Fans! ***New** #Bears ugly cardigans! Available at http://t.co/XcpSiMUAI0 pic.twitter.com/Ri2hMYgjv8 — UglyTeams (@UglyTeams) October 28, 2014 The game done changed. Oh man, this is ugly. I love it! Check out the tweet. I think the 49ers one is calling for me. The sweaters were great. But this is a whole new level. It’s $119 […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 8 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 8 games from Sunday. 1– So the Jets are bad. I mean, Geno Smith threw three picks in the first quarter. Backup Mike Vick also contributed to three turnovers. This was not good. I don’t know what kind of identity the Jets team has, but they are looking […]
It’s possible that some are overstating the impact of Joe Maddon opting out
I think this is on point. I won’t undervalue Maddon as a manager. Successful managers have success when they have talented players. What makes Maddon great is that he is great with the players and he is well-liked and well-respected. Depending on what talent he inherits and how many resources he can work with, we […]
Who should I root for in the World Series?
Couldn’t really do this picture since I don’t own a Giants cap. I am still sad that my Oakland A’s are no longer in the postseason. But I am still a baseball fan and I care about what happens in this sport. Which leads me to today, Game 1 of the World Series. Since my team […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 7 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 7 games from Sunday. 1– Peyton Manning is good. He is real good. Breaking that record looked easy for him. It’s a sign of how good this Broncos team can be if they have it all clicking. On the other hand, the 49ers looked bad. But I don’t […]
Remembering the Loma Prieta Earthquake 25 years later
I was only 3 when this earthquake happened. I have no memory of it. But I remember watching old footage of it as a kid later on. My parents had recorded the news broadcast with their VCR. I was fortunate enough to be living in a part of the East Bay that didn’t suffer major […]
So what exactly is Colin Kaepernick being fined for?
View this post on Instagram The face you make when the NFL says you didn’t use a racial slur and still fines you $5500? *shrugs* back to my grind! #IDontGetTired #WhoDoYouLove #Se7enPounds A post shared by colin kaepernick (@kaepernick7) on Oct 15, 2014 at 1:40pm PDT The face you make when the NFL says you […]
NFL’s deal with Bose is giving Beats By Dre free publicity
With the NFL sealing a deal with Bose this year, it makes sense for the two companies to try to get their deal out in the forefront. In doing so, the NFL is fining any player that is seen with headphones that aren’t Bose during interviews with cameras present. In fact, the fine can be up […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 6 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 6 games from Sunday. Cold Cuts! 1– Ties are terrible. No game in any sport should ever end in a tie. But with the physicality of the NFL, we know that anything more than 15 minutes after regulation is too much. Thus we get a tie from the […]
Is Katy Perry the best choice for the Super Bowl halftime show?
Yesterday, Page Six reported that Katy Perry is going to be the halftime show for the Super Bowl. I totally get the league’s attempt to get more contemporary artists to reach out to this generation. With Beyonce and Bruno Mars headlining the last two big games, it makes sense. But I am not a Perry […]
Cavaliers to wear new uniforms because LeBron is back
The Cavaliers are wearing new blue uniforms for opening night. Details here. It actually goes really well with the new court they just unveiled. And the actual uniform isn’t bad. It’s vibrant and it features blue, which the other three uniforms don’t have. But we all know why they did this. Because LeBron James is […]
Thank you, Josh Beckett
With Josh Beckett hanging it up, I will like to reminisce about the now former pitcher. Sure, he’s had some moments that were memorable (no-hitter this year) and some not (fried chicken), but the only moment that really holds any value to me is what you see above. During that time in 2003, I was […]
A’s fans suggest depressing 2015 promotion ideas on Twitter
182 days until Opening Night. What theme nights and giveaways do you want to see next year? #2015Promotions pic.twitter.com/2A95KwMd4B — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 7, 2014 Crowd sourcing is good business. It’s great to use when engaging with fans. The only thing that could become an issue is timing. Take the A’s for example. What they’re asking […]
Islanders going back to Gorton’s Fisherman look for one more night
For one last time, the Islanders will bring back Gorton’s Fisherman. As a kid just starting to learn about the game of hockey, I had some trading cards. I remember my first exposure to the New York Islanders was the Gorton’s Fisherman look. Even though the identity lasted only two seasons, that to me is […]
10 thoughts on Sunday’s Week 5 NFL games
Here are 10 thoughts after watching the Week 5 games from Sunday. 1– That is what Jim Harbaugh thinks of your rumors. It was reported that 49ers won’t retain Harbaugh after this season, even the 49ers win the Super Bowl. Of course, there was a lot of discussion as to what that really means and if […]
I like the one-game Wild Card round for the MLB postseason
Thank you #GreenCollar fans for an amazing season. Best fans in baseball. pic.twitter.com/P703n2GIZK — Oakland Athletics (@Athletics) October 1, 2014 Up until last night, I had no opinion of this. My team, for the past two seasons, did not need to play in this round so I never gave it much thought. But this year, […]
But at the end of the day...
