Okay, before you all go “angry mob” on me, let me get one thing straight first: I am not a LeBron James fan. I find the guy to be the second most disingenuous “athlete” on the planet behind Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. I still think the way he left Cleveland was the biggest dick move [...]

Rant Mode On: Wrestling Gets The Montreal Screwjob
February 12th, 2013 · No Comments
So here’s a great idea. Let’s take a sport that predates the existence of the modern Olympic Games themselves and remove it from the Olympic program. That won’t piss off too many people, right? In case you missed today’s shocking news, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) voted in a secret ballot today to remove wrestling [...]

Success Without Honor
June 23rd, 2012 · No Comments
It’s a beautiful campus. It’s pristine, tucked away, just slightly excluded from the rest of the world around it.

This is State [...]

“From deep down in my stomach, with every inch of me, I pure, straight hate you. But goddammit do I respect you!” -Anchorman Welcome to the new world, LeBron James. We have sunshine, double rainbows, a moonbounce, the special kind of Kool-aid that only really tastes good when you were a kid because it’s really [...]

March 16th, 2012 · No Comments
Beware the Ides of March.
