While I fully support making money off the persecution (just or otherwise) of star athletes (I do own a Free Darko shirt after all), I thought it only appropriate to provide our merry pack of degenerates a fresh post in which to place their insights and observations on this fine day of sports. That's right sports...plural. Today's jam-packed with highly interesting College Basketball matchups in the early part of the day that should get you properly hyped for this evening's NFL Playoff tussles. If that wasn't enough, I'm going to provide you with a fun little drinking game and a snappy tune to carry with you as you go throughout the world today.
The drinking game is easy. Every time you hear a player, coach, announcer or anybody else associated with the contest you're viewing talk about the need for people to "step their game up", "step up" or any iteration of that phrase....go ahead and drink. Not coincidentally, I'm going to get you started in grand fashion right now.
You know what I hate about College Basketball? The occasional need to make it seem like Women's College Basketball is as followed, loved and as important to the masses as the Men's version of the game. I don't need College Gameday from a women's game. Not even if the Virgin Mary herself promises to drop 100 on Geno Auriemma and Connecticut.
ReplyDeletepreach it, brother.
ReplyDeletehofstra @ the tribe tonight from kaplan arena on the campus of the college of william & mary. the pride feel like they owe us one after the tribe's 48-47 win two weeks ago on the island.
I'd never root for Hofstra. Not after they turned their collective back on a nickname like Flying Dutchmen.
ReplyDeleteJay Bilas comes in peace...Doris Burke leaves in pieces.
ReplyDeleteSeriously, that teaser clip of the NFL Countdown Rick Reilly piece was so aggravating that I now how to wait and watch the piece when it airs in 12 min...
ReplyDeleteOh god, it's on now...and he's fucking rhyming like a douchey Dr. Seuss.
ReplyDeleteI am extremely excited for this Cuse/West Va tip. College basketball, hooray.
ReplyDelete9th Wonder y'all!
ReplyDeleteIf Geno coached a major mens program, he would be one of the most hated men in America. He has Bobby Knight's arrogance, Steve Lavin' smarmyness, and Bob Huggins criminality all in one douchey package.
ReplyDeleteWho's down? It's free.

I love that Michael Rapaport is somehow involved in that.
ReplyDeleteWord is that michael Rappaport is one of the biggest d-bags around. A lady hitter too (I think).
ReplyDeleteRappaport is a huge hiphop fan. He's directing a documentary about A Tribe Called Quest. Some of my high school friends are already planning the where/when/how we see it.
ReplyDeleteAnd he was in Zebrahead. Bad movie, great soundtrack.
ReplyDeleteI'm now furiously Googling this Tribe doc.
ReplyDeleteJust checked out that link Zoltan. I would be very much down if I didn't live in another part of the country. I've always wanted to see a show at The Knitting Factory.
ReplyDeleteBig time move by Triche. I mean BIG TIME.
ReplyDeletesitting at the end of the bar by myself, enjoying a mid-afternoon pint and watching hoops. ahhhhh.
ReplyDeleteand someone tell me about that cuse/wvu game. that score looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteThe Knitting moved to Brooklyn. The new spot is a decent but not outstanding venue. I hope they worked out some of the kinks by now.
ReplyDeletewhy are the michigan state students doing the gator chomp?
ReplyDeleteOnly fools would go to school in Flint.
ReplyDeletez, mark, don't forget the mos def/k'naan austin city limits starts airing today
ReplyDeleteOr wherever the hell MSU is.
ReplyDeleteeast lansing, but don't sweat the details
ReplyDeleteAnything outside Ann Arbor is a wasteland, as far as this northeastern liberal snob is considered. Where's my John Tesh CD?
ReplyDeleteis it time to talk about jamie dixon as one of the nation's best coaches? i think it is.
ReplyDeletetribe gets love on the msu/illinois broadcast - 'never been dancing'
ReplyDeleteSharper and Tribe football got props on ESPN.com this week too.
ReplyDeleteSorry we didn't do any commenting from WhiteejFest. Hard to comment whilst double-fist drinking. My favorite highlight was a drunken Teej giddily putting his arm inside his shirt, going empty sleeve, and calling attention to himself when his Def Leppard selection came on the jukebox. Except that it was "Back in Black" by AC/DC. High degree of unintentional comedy for the rest of us.
ReplyDeleteThis Heels/Wreck game is bringing it. Tech needing a Heimlich.
ReplyDeleteSome schmo on Fox's NFL pregame show just compared driving through a crowd of Saints fans to a religious experience.
ReplyDeletesorry we didn't do any texting from daveroblunchapalooza. hard to comment when you're using chopsticks. shrimp wonton oriental noodle soup for me, flat noodles for dave. then an hour or so on the playground with his kids. bought a few used cds at the princeton record exchange. followed it up by drinking alone in a bar watching hoops. not much unintentional comedy, but a nap might be order.
ReplyDeletenice job, saints
ReplyDeletethis is gonna be like an arcade game
ReplyDeleteor video game, for the younger crowd
ReplyDeletedrew brees is quite good at his chosen profession
ReplyDeleteWhen I watch Arizona, the only thing I root for is more points.
ReplyDeleteI'm genuinely surprised when Larry Fitzgerald doesn't come down with a 50/50 ball.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't do any texting from dinner and drink w/ Swint and friends in Nyack. I vomited 4 times at my in laws this morning while they cared for my children. The Father of the Year people have been appropriately notified.
ReplyDeleteThe Saints are fun.
ReplyDeleteif you bet the under on this game...what the fuck is wrong with you?
ReplyDeleteI think Kurt Warner just saw Jesus. And not in a good way. Wow. He got popped.
ReplyDeleteAnd I don't want your fucking Big Mac snack wrap, McDonald's. If I want to feel like a fat, useless fuck, well, I'll just eat a normal Big Mac.
I fucking hate Darnell Dockett. Eat shit you cheap fuck.
ReplyDeletethat fade to colston is unstoppable
ReplyDeleteohh, leinart with the helmet on. almost as good an idea as bud light golden wheat.
ReplyDeleteI would like to meet the priest that's hanging out in Boogie Benson's luxury box.
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Tribe is going to win.
ReplyDelete68-60 with :40 left.
Is this a better representation of the score, Rob?
73-68 Tribe.
ReplyDeleteFinal.
I heart this team.
Manning's accuracy is super human. Great drive. Momentum grabbing, time consuming, gutsy and efficient.
ReplyDeleteThat was clearly a helmet to helmet hit by Lewis but that's still a REALLY tough call. Sometimes your momentum just takes over.
ReplyDeleteDagger.
ReplyDeleteBaltimore has shot itself in the foot (or is it feet at this point?) that they may be toeless.
ReplyDeleteAnyone read the W&M alumni magazine yet? There's a bunch of crazy shit in there this time around.
ReplyDeleteGaines Adams is dead. No reports on how he died as of yet.
ReplyDeletewow, that's awful. i vividly remember that game against wake when he was a man amongst boys.
ReplyDeleteHow do bagpipes relate to Vikings and/or Cowboys?
ReplyDeleteWe are 1 for 7, in terms of exciting playoff games. Jets-Chargers needs to get it done.
ReplyDeleteI just don't see the 'Boys making a rally happen. And Ray Edwards' agent has got to be fired up about his performance today.
Wade Phillips has a legitimate B-cup.
ReplyDeleteThe no-huddle looks good. More teams should bust it out when their offense is struggling.
ReplyDeleteDid not know Prince was a big Vikes fan.
ReplyDeleteLove the Prince and Bud Grant split screen. How are they not in the same box together?
ReplyDeleteTimmy, he is a fan of anything purple.
ReplyDeleteLet the Farvlattio begin.
ReplyDeleteBud Grant and Prince have been close as two peas in a pod ever since Bud allowed Prince to purify Bud's soul in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.
ReplyDeleteAnd the anti-Favre pendulum has swung back the other way for me. He makes great plays.
ReplyDeletethe favre/saints/katrina hype combo this week will be lethal to those that aren't prepared to handle it. battle stations, gentlemen.
ReplyDeleteFavre is on steroids or HGH or something like that. He's got that weird chicken skin thing going on around his jawline that juicehead baseball players get.
ReplyDeleteHow is that pass incomplete? Bullschtein call.
ReplyDeleteYeah, that was the last thing I thought had happened when I watched the replay(s).
ReplyDeleteJames Brown's hair in HD is spectacular.
ReplyDeleteYeah, a challenge there has the same effect as a TO, and might result in a first down without losing a TO. Not-so-amazing coaching on display today.
ReplyDeleteI also like how it's perfectly OK for announcers to say that Ryan screwed up there or that Childress screwed up at the end of the first half, but it's unbelievable for the Vikings to score that last TD and rub it in the Cowboys' collective faces.
ReplyDeleteAs LT walked off the field you just your first shot of befuddled Norv. The jets are winning this game.
ReplyDeleteDarelle Revis is not human.
ReplyDeletei think marlin might be right
ReplyDeleteJim Leonhard needs a new helmet. One that fits.
ReplyDeleteNORV.
Norv is not sure who this Revis guy is.
ReplyDeletehelluva play by sanchez
ReplyDeletenorv!
Fuck. Yeah.
ReplyDeleteWell done young fella.
Let's not get over-confident here. Norv is Norv, but the Jets are the Jets.
ReplyDeleteAnybody notice Norv out on the field breaking up the pile after the fumble? He knows that this game is slipping away.
ReplyDeleteRunning game has punched at the Bolts' D all day. Softened them up quite a bit. And the D has been very solid, especially with open field tackling.
ReplyDeleteI still remain very nervous of Rivers in the last 5 minutes.
I thought he was looking for his retainer?
ReplyDeleteSan Diego's inability to run the ball is catching up to them today. The Jets don't give a shit about Tomlinson or Sproles and are defending the Chargers accordingly.
ReplyDeleteIf it were not for the very large thing Z-man mentioned, I'd sure like how the J-e-t-ssss were playing right now...I wonder how much shit Bart Scott is saying to Rivers right now?
ReplyDeleteNice throw by Sanchez.
ReplyDeleteWell I'll be damned...
ReplyDeleteHe should have done the electric slide.
ReplyDeleteNORV!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow. Huge hole opened by the OLine. Terrible tackle by Weddle. Great burst by Greene.
ReplyDeleteShake ya little hips. Shake ya little hips.
ReplyDeleteI think the mock LT finger roll was as good or better a touch than doing the Electric "Slide" (it's Glide on the LT video).
ReplyDeletePoint to ya mama. Point to ya mama.
ReplyDeleteNice fucking kickoff, morons.
ReplyDeleteRex trying to prove he can be retarded too.
ReplyDeleteKaeding is Rackers, Rackers is Kaeding.
ReplyDeleteSimms is right. The Jets have Rivers timed.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the pro bowl, nate
ReplyDeleteHoly shit. At least try and make it look like you're not throwing the game Kaeding.
ReplyDeleteMy stroke is mad confident.
ReplyDeleteNorv Turner is on steroids or HGH or something like that. He has that weird chicken skin thing going on around his jawline.
ReplyDeleteno way that's a catch
ReplyDeleteThey changed the push-out rule, right?
ReplyDeletejackson kicked the challenge flag? colossally moronic.
ReplyDeleteAdissally?
ReplyDeleteIs that Norv's resume that he's holding?
ReplyDeleteHolding!!
ReplyDeleteIf it comes down to Ray Finkle to tie this game, I think he might miss his 4th today.
ReplyDeleteThis is totally different from AZ/GB last week but just as fun.
ReplyDeleteWe went out for dessert last night and the kid at the counter greeted us with "I'm Enkel, can I take your order?" I used a ton of restraint and didn't say "I'm Einhorn."
ReplyDeleteNorv is Bud Kilmer right now. Rivers is making all the play calls.
ReplyDelete"Here come the Jets" = CBS kiss of death. Something terrible will happen to the Jets here.
ReplyDeletesimms is right here - kicking deep was the correct call
ReplyDeleteGo for it Rex.
ReplyDeleteI read Rexy's lips and he said "We're going for it" but I'm not sure if the punctuation mark at the end of the sentence was "!" or "?".
ReplyDelete69 seconds left.
ReplyDeleteFuck.
ReplyDeleteYeah.
Sanchez was just compared to Joe Namath and Joe Flacco?
ReplyDeleteThat was a very well practiced "congrats" from Norv.
ReplyDeleteboomer, like his white-haired friend simms, is exactly right. the onsides kick allowed rex to go for it in that situation.
ReplyDeleteKirilenko/Sharipova on the deuce. Brilliant programming.
ReplyDelete
