Let’s Just Leave Chris Webber Alone
Good morning there. Having a rough Monday? It’ll get better, friend. And hey, at least no one’s relentlessly badgering you to relive the worst moment of your life. That’s what’s happening to Chris Webber on this fine Monday. Courtesy of Jalen Rose. As you are likely aware, the Michigan basketball Wolverines are, for the first

ABC Would Like You To Enjoy Basketball Less
And they’re taking measures to ensure that this happens, replacing Hubie Brown as their lead analyst. And that’s enough right there to know that it’s a bad decision… Hubie Brown is the best game analyst alive, in any sport. There’s no one they could replace him with that would be as good. There is no

The One Guy Who Will Call Out Brett Favre…
If you’re looking for an NFL analyst to call out Brett Favre for his poor play… Michael Irvin was your guy last night. Between Tirico, Theismann, Kornheiser, Stuart Scott, Steve Young, Tom Jackson, and Michael Irvin… Irvin was the only guy who would flat out say that Brett Favre is not a real good quarterback

Whitlock Wants Cuban Banned
Jason Whitlock, a columnist I like, is calling for David Stern to hit Mark Cuban with a 13-day banishment from NBA arenas, and a season-long ban if it continues. I’ll attempt to sum up his argument as best I can: Cuban’s antics set the tone for fan complaining, which led to things being thrown on

While Barry Melrose Is Wheeled Back Into Storage…
I’m just wondering if maybe the NHL gets a little too much media attention. This probaly isn’t going to be popular, but… I think it’s a legitimate question to ask. Everyone knows how bad hockey’s TV ratings have been. I’m not trying to twist that knife, but… given the general disinterest of the general populace

Ombudsman And Vitale, Sittin’ In A Tree
The biggest portion of the latest offering from George Solomon is all about defending Dick Vitale, while not really mentioning any specific complaint. The rest of the column is about Colin Cowherd’s theft, ESPN’s involvement with Barry Bonds, etc… but the biggest part of it seems to just be, “Hey, leave Dick Vitale the fuck
