Game Five
by aakar on June 14, 2010
Not a lot to say about game five that probably hasn’t been said. Thought the C’s played team basketball. There were a few moments, especially towards the end of the game where I thought they could have potentially blown it (…)

Ran across the “Recession or no recession, many NFL, NBA and Major League article” article on SI.com courtesy of an article on stretchdollar.com. I’m not surprised that even though these athletes are making millions of dollars that they are losing (…)
F-Bomb Dropped on the MLB Network

Saw this on Barstool Sports today thought it was pretty hilarious. I love how they black it out for a little bit before coming back. I bet the producer is like ‘Shit, what do we do now?’.

Bracket on Life-Support
by aakar on March 21, 2008
Ouch. The games yesterday weren’t so nice to my bracket. I’m a little disappointed, but what can you do? Instead of going for so many upsets in the first round I should have stuck with the top seeds, oh well. The biggest loss yesterday was USC, because I had them getting to the elite 8. The game itself was pretty lopsided, USC made a run at the start of the 2nd-half but it didn’t hold up that long. Hopefully today won’t be as bad as yesterday was to my bracket.
But how about Belmont? It would have been amazing to see them beat Duke last night, even though it would have hurt not only my bracket but everyone elses bracket too. Did I mention I’m part of the large contingent of college basketball fans who hate Duke? No? Well now you know, and folks knowing is half the battle.

It’s that time of the year again. The NCAA Men’s Basketball tournament is about to get underway in a little less then 2 hours. Sixty-four teams will be vying for that championship trophy. Last year I took a few days (…)
ESPN – Els out, Tiger moves on in Match Play opening round – Golf

ESPN – Els out, Tiger moves on in Match Play opening round – Golf:
Tiger Woods was running out of holes, but not hope.
He had never fallen three holes behind and come back to win in match play as a professional, and his predicament looked particularly dire Wednesday when he took a penalty drop in the desert to lose another hole against J.B. Holmes with five to play.
What followed was a charge that had Woods pumping his fists and Holmes shaking his head.
[…]
Woods won four straight holes with three birdies and a 35-footer for eagle to produce another stunning rally in the desert, this one allowing him to escape in the first round of the Accenture Match Play Championship.
I witnessed the 35-foot eagle putt on the 17th on the Golf channel and it was just absolutely perfect. I mean J.B. Holmes stated it best “What do you do?”
“You’re playing the best player in the world, 3 up with five to play,” Holmes said. “I just said, ‘Don’t do anything stupid. Make him beat you.’ And he did. What do you do?”
