SPECIAL GUEST COMMENTATOR TWIGGY EXAMINES THE SURPLUS OF TEAMS CALLED WILDCATS

Meet Twiggy Denham, aka The Freak, from that quintessential cat lover’s blog Life With 4 Cats at WordPress (written by Twiggy’s mom Sara). Twiggy was pleased with the Guest Commentator spots done by fellow kitty-cats Tibbs, Oolong and Pekoe as well as by that debonair doggy from across the pond, George the Whippet. Since I’m deluged with all the basketball tournaments going on right now in the college divisions I cover Twiggy was kind enough to volunteer to help me out by bringing his freakish sensibilities to bear on the way college sports teams drastically overuse the nickname Wildcats.

Twiggy: What’s new, pussycat? Ha! I kill me! … Hey, am I Continue reading →

HOT NEW GAME! WHICH ONE’S AL DAVIS?

One of these figures is Al Davis, the owner of the NFL’s Oakland Raiders. The other one is Captain Christopher Pike from the famous two- part Star Trek story The Menagerie. Can you tell which one’s which? (Helpful hint: Al Davis is more casually dressed yet somehow less alert- looking than Captain Continue reading →

INSTANT KARMA’S GONNA GET YOU, LITTLE LEBRON!

An alleged injury plus three losses in a row since The Big Ringless (Or The Lord Of No Rings, take your pick) made with his bitchy little tweet about his former team’s plight. A tweet he then tried to deny with a lame story NOBODY believed since everyone knows a retweet will have an RT in front of it. Is Lebron a genuine sports world villain, or is he just incredibly stupid? Or simply immature? We do have to remember that he was hyped as King James since he was in high school even though he hadn’t done anything to earn such a nickname. Kobe Bryant and Tim Duncan have multiple championship rings and are far more Continue reading →

THE SPORTS WORLD’S MOST WANTED JERKS

The FBI has its most wanted felons list, Balladeer’s Blog has its Most Wanted Jerks list. Be warned! If you see these people in person DON’T TRY TO APPREHEND THEM YOURSELVES! Immediately contact Balladeer’s Blog and my crack team of marshalls will be on their way to take these jerks into custody.

OFFENDER: REX RYAN … WANTED FOR: INTENSE STUPIDITY AGGRAVATED BY FELONY  BUFFOONERY … Rex Ryan, son of the abrasive and unlikeable Buddy Ryan and inheritor of the title of  Don of the Ryan Family Jerk Empire, once again began gnawing at the ankles of Bill Belichick, the coach who owns him like a set of car keys. Ryan is wanted for blustering as if his Jets vs the New England Patriots Dynasty is some form of rivalry.

GERALD FORD RETURNS FROM THE DEAD TO COACH THE MICHIGAN WOLVERINES

 The Michigan Wolverines football program, still mindlessly clinging to the late Bo Schembechler‘s words about having a Michigan man coach Michigan, have followed that outdated thinking to its logical conclusion and have raised ex-president and former Wolverines player Gerald Ford from the dead to be the team’s new coach. This after the team failed to land former Michigan player and new San Francisco 49’ers coach Jim Harbaugh as the replacement for outgoing coach Rich Rodriguez. Nobody denies that Rodriguez struggled but he certainly seemed to be turning things around, getting Continue reading →

THE BRETT FAVRE GUIDE TO DATING

Renaissance Man Brett Favre has many talents. He can hold teams hostage with his childish whims and his egomaniacal craving for flattery and cajoling… he can set new standards in the art of throwing interceptions even when you think his best years are behind him in that art form … he can get coaches fired with his prima donna antics even though his former teams the Packers and the Jets are in the playoffs and Bawlin’ Brett is stuck at home watching … but most especially Brett Favre can disgust and revolt women like nobody else can with his inimitable combination of moronic come- on lines and allegedly with his sophomorically suggestive text messages.  Yes, while many athletes get into trouble over their bedroom successes with the opposite sex the Ollll’ Interception Machine has gained notoriety for Continue reading →

THE FIVE BIGGEST CREEPS IN SPORTS

This past 365 days were loaded with reminders of just why so many figures in the sports world, individually or collectively, are considered absolute creeps. Without further ado let’s take a look at the five biggest creeps in sports in my opinion.

5. JOE PATERNO – I think it’s harsh when people use words like “doddering old fool” to describe Joe Paterno or to imply that he would lose a battle of wits to Grandpa Simpson so I won’t do that. However, I will point out that  Joe just seems to wander around the sidelines occassionally shouting at some red-haired guy whose only job may be to let Joe think he’s still in charge by listening to his rants for all I know (I’m kidding!). Joe should leave and let his assistants, who, by many accounts, are the ones Continue reading →
