by Justin Cherot As you can see, we look a little bit different now, though not in the Sammy Sosa kind of way. I think of this kind of like a haircut for PnP, and I know when I get a haircut I certainly feel better about myself, but at the same time I remain the … Read more

by Colin Donohue At about 8:10 p.m., I decided to keep a live diary of tonight’s NBA Draft Lottery, which is the most exciting part of the postseason for fans of putrid teams. We don’t get to enjoy the drama of the playoffs, so we have to settle for the drama of a combination of … Read more

by Colin Donohue If you were ever an athlete at any level, you probably engaged in a little gamesmanship. Maybe it was a little pushing, poking, prodding, antagonizing. But it was usually on the up and up, at least for the most part. I enjoyed getting under the skin of my opponents when I played … Read more

by Colin Donohue Here are some quick hitters from the sports world today. I’d say, “Here’s what I’m burnin’ on,” but that would implicitly endorse Jim Rome as some kind of consequential sports analyst. The dude is a joke and, at this point, a parody of himself. What a clown. So I ain’t burnin’ on … Read more

Here are a few quick thoughts I’ve been tossing around for a few days. It’s fun to watch Tiger Woods when he’s hot. I don’t watch a lot of PGA golf because I typically don’t find it that compelling. I know. It’s probably ignorant of me to make such an assertion. But really, to me, … Read more

by Colin Donohue Is this the infamous video of LeBron James being dunked on by Xavier’s Jordan Crawford? If so, I fail to see why Nike would want it under wraps. Crawford doesn’t really posterize James that badly. I’ve seen worse. But if this is the actual video, then I say shame on Nike. Hiding … Read more

by Colin Donohue Justin mentioned in a previous post that he was using ESPN’s Streak for the Cash as a tool to help him improve his knowledge of sports that don’t use a basket and a ball all at once. And no, I’m not talking about Jai Alai. (For the record, the basket they hold … Read more

by Colin Donohue I thought I’d do a little live blogging tonight about Major League Baseball’s Home Run Derby. Not the most exciting event to live blog about, but it’s a start. Starting slowly so that I’m in game shape, as the cliche goes, by the time a regular season starts. The Home Run Derby … Read more
