I’m short on time this week, so there’s no full preview for this card, but I wanted to give my picks since it’s become a tradition for me to fail miserably while picking winners on these shows. ANDERSON SILVA VS. PATRICK COTE: Honestly, this is going to be a slaughter. I’ll u...

UFC LIGHT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIPQuinton “Rampage” Jackson (28-6) (-240) vs Forrest Griffin (15-4) (+190) Rampage Jackson is one of the top three fighters in the world, no matter what weight class you’re talking about. The only people in the past six years to defeat the popular li...

Zach Feinstein, a junior from Washington University, declared for the upcoming 2008 NBA draft. He’s been interviewed on radio stations and given press from guys like Henry Abbott of TrueHoop (the best basketball blog on the web). The catch? He has no basketball experience or skills. Zach is 5&...

I’d planned on heading to the Juicebox around 5pm today for the 7pm start time because I wanted one of the team blankets. You know what they say about “the best laid plans?” Yeah, that totally applies here. Didn’t end up leaving the office until roughly 5:40, which meant we g...

The offense is the one facet of the Astros that has the chance of being greatly improved. I say “chance” because it really all depends on which version of Miguel Tejada shows up to play at Minute Maid this year. Will it be some variation of the MVP Tejada, or will it be the Miguel who...

Welcome to my 2008 MLB Preview. I’ve been making predictions on baseball for the past few years, but have never taken the time to write an actual in-depth preview. This is not an in-depth preview, but it’s a lot more substantial than me just tossing some predictions up. By the way, this ...

Henry Abbott of TrueHoop has a great post today about the ongoing war between Mark Cuban and the bloggers he recently banned from his locker room. The world’s suspicion is that we bloggers might be raving lunatics. By being professional journalists, and reasonable people who not only do not dr...

I’m bored, so I’m giving you some late-night bullet points while I wait for my Easter Sunday clothes to dry: Someone needs to cancel Saturday Night Live. I know they’ll likely never pull the plug on the show, but it’s horrid and anything else not named SNL would have been can...
