A Lesson in Moving On

ojjason

by Justin Cherot Everything about the Dallas Mavericks’ 2011-2012 title defense season felt like it was the final act of a play that maybe went a couple of scenes too long.  When it was clear that the scrappy and savvy but ultimately athletically-starved Mavs had no shot at winning a title, the elephant in the … Read more

Pick (‘Em) and Pop, Week 3

by Justin Cherot   I was dumb enough to think that I was the first person to think of Week 1′s clever headline, but apparently I’m not.  Thanks a bunch, Bleacher Report!    Any how, I decided to be like the Oakland Raiders’ secondary (no words…) and take the week off from making picks on the site, although if … Read more

Let’s Do Some Lines, Week 1

by Justin Cherot It’s no secret that basketball is my first love.  I mean, it’s not like you stumbled upon the “Cover 1 Robber” blog, right?  Colin and I are equal opportunity sports’ enthusiasts… okay, at least Colin is.  But, I’m a realist: football is America’s favorite sport (attention anyone who just asked about baseball: you … Read more

From the Couch: Snowed in for the Super Bowl

by Justin Cherot Completely snowed in and nothing else to do, I spontaneously decided to do a Super Bowl “From the Couch” entry… Okay, I’m completely lying.  I actually told you about a week and change ago that I was going to undertake this.  Remember? I had to pace myself, especially after three hours of … Read more

Week 3 Picks

By Justin Cherot Yes, PnP didn’t go all CBA or XFL on you guys.  Both Colin and I have had busy weeks–me with school and work, Colin with teaching the kiddies.  For the sake of renewing my writing vigor, I’ve decided to come out of the woodwork.  After all, if I’m going to deliver the … Read more

Optimism in Oakland???

By Justin Cherot Caution: the journalistic gloves are coming off and the hands of a fan are about to be exposed. Some fan I am… I fell asleep with my beloved Oakland Raiders actually tied with the San Diego Chargers at halftime.  By the time I reminded myself to wake-up– because who KNOWS when they’ll … Read more

Quick Hitters: Seymour to Raiders, Angels a Threat, Gender Testing and NFL Opener

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

HEADS-UP: First Annual PnP NFL Picks

By Justin Cherot We’re an hour and a half away from the dawn of a new NFL season.  Colin is chomping at the bit for the start of the NHL season, and I can’t wait for basketball to tip-off, but until then, the NFL is here to satisfy our palette. Anyway, before I get into … Read more

One Season, 32 Sentences

by Colin Donohue I’m back after almost two weeks. I figured that I could never do better than a post about the awkward hilarity of former NBA bona fide superstar Gheorghe Muresan. (C’mon. Does it get any better than Craig Kilborn saying, “Doesn’t matter who won the game. Hor-hay wins with this move.” The answer? … Read more

Free at Last?

By Justin Cherot Up, down, up, down, left, right, left, right,  B, A, B, A, select, start. If you’re an 80′s baby, you for sure know ALL about that.  Just in case you’re a little younger, a little older, or you actually have a life that doesn’t revolve around video games, the above is the … Read more
