The title doesn’t get much more blunt than that. I was planning on taking a week’s vacation from Summer and Main but this issue ruffled my feathers a bit. For the last several seasons I’ve watched Dwight Howard get slammed by every post player in the NBA. The refs let it go, because Howard’s athletic ability [...]

Let’s be honest, when the Cleveland LeBrons went down to the Celtics in the second round of the ’10 NBA Playoffs, David Stern zoned in on a Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals. Stern loves the big market teams facing off in the Finals and was hoping that Orlando didn’t take down the Celtics for the second year in a row [...]

This week’s KTFO is from Abner Mares, who fights on the Showtime undercard Saturday night. The KO comes a little after the 1:40 mark and it’s the first body shot knockout featured at S&M. After getting beaten severely, Carlos Fulgencio takes a beautiful left hook body shot that lays him out. Doug Fischer immediately reacts by saying [...]

I don’t claim to be an expert on the Florida Marlins. Even though they are in the same division as the Braves, I don’t know about their players as much as I should. I now Dan Uggla, Josh Johnson, Chris Coghlan and their two World Series Championships and I know that Hanley Ramirez is freaking awesome. These [...]

I really wish I wasn’t writing this, but I’m not in a good place today. Orlando’s loss to the Celtics last night was one of the roughest I’ve ever experienced. The game put me in a funk that I haven’t snapped out of yet. The Celtics controlled 85% of the game last night. By the [...]

You could probably make this relation to any league, but I view the history of the NBA in eras. In the 80′s we had the Magic/Bird era which was ended by the Detroit Bad Boys. That era was obviously followed by the Michael Jordan era (1991-Summer of 1998). That was killed by the implosion of [...]

A little over a week ago I visited my parents and asked my father what he thought about Lawrence Taylor’s latest run in with the law. It’s important to note that my father is a die-hard Giants fan who’s first son (me) was born the same year LT was named MVP. My father has worshiped Taylor since [...]

Today marks the birthday of maybe the greatest heavyweight of all time, Joe Louis. In honor of the Brown Bomber, here is his signature victory. A first round knockout in his second fight with Max Schmeling. There is a lot of history to this fight. It is easily one of the most important boxing matches [...]

There are some moments in life where everyone remembers where they were when it happened. 9/11 is the event that defines that statement, but it’s also true for Obama’s election night, Hurricane Katrina, and the Princess Diana’s death. For me, a lot of those moments relate to the sports world. I remember exactly where I [...]

So this week all the craze in MLB was the Unwritten Rules of Baseball, most notably, “Thou Shall Not Cross the Pitcher’s Mound While Running Back to the Dugout.” I personally was unaware of the rule, but it did make sense to me. Dallas Braden of course took exception to one Alex Rodriquez crossing his [...]
