Beating the Odds of Meaningless Bowl Games

  The College Bowl schedule is the biggest sham in sports.  Let’s see if we can follow the logic of it… All Division One teams play a full season of games.  If they lose even one, they will probably not be invited to play for the mythic National Championship.  If their record is pretty good, [...]

1 Day Till Tip Off – A DC Show Cavs Preview

  With 4 hours left until the season opener tip, here’s your little more than half a day late, final day till tip off DC Show Cavs preview.   1 day till open… 1 – Byron Scott. I’m not going to hide this fact, I’ve been a Byron Scott fan my entire life. When he [...]

2 Days Till Tip Off – A DC Show Cavs Preview

  Food Poisoning, playing catch up, Santa, and 1 more day to go yet still a day behind. And if you haven’t read days 5,4 and 3 ’Till Tip Off’ before this one, a lot of what I’ll say here might make even less sense. Just Saying.   2 days till open… 1 -Samardo Samuels. At [...]

3 Days Till Tip Off – A DC Show Cavs Preview

  1 day till Cavs Tip Off and 3 days of catch-up to get done. Santa’s here and there’s 5 games to start the NBA year today, so no stalling. 3 days till open… 1 – Antawn Jamison. As stated in point 3 of “Day 4 Till”, don’t expect Antawn Jamison to be a Cavalier [...]

4 Days Till Tip Off – A DC Show Cavs Preview

  With this now being obviously late, know I do see the irony of the Defend Cleveland sports guy getting food poisoning from a Cleveland sports bar. How’s the saying go again? Give me food poisoning once, shame on you. Give it to me twice, shame on me. Give it to me a 3rd time [...]

5 Days Till Tip Off – A DC Show Cavs Preview

  There’s a lot of days in the Holiday Season. There’s the 8 days of Hanukkah, Christmas Day, the 7 days of Kwanzaa, New Years Day, and so on, and so on, and so on, and… Seemingly, this Season has more and more days each year, and thanks to a fun little wrinkle of a [...]

How to Find an NFL Starting Quarterback

  Wow…  Did you see that hit Colt McCoy took on Thursday?  I think that is what it would look like if you drove a motorcycle into the side of a 7-11.  Thank God he wore his helmet.  Otherwise dude would have been donating body parts.  I think we can all safely say that Colt [...]

The NBA Lockout and Why it Didn’t Matter

  I’ve been meaning to weigh in on the NBA lockout (and its resolution?) for months now, but I’ve struggled to make enough sense of it to say anything valuable. Luckily, my former classmate and erstwhile lawyer Mike Wu has done it for me. I think he’s right, for the most part, particularly about the [...]

The final word on Josh Cribbs being “fed up” with losing (from December 5th, 2011)

After a week of dealing with the media bomb that went off after Josh Cribbs said he was “fed up” with losing immediately following a tough loss to Cincinnati, and after its blast radius grew to be national by week’s end, you just knew the DC Show had to throw in its opinion on it as soon [...]

Browns Version 4-8, and better ways to spend your Sunday

photo from Cleveland.com   I have a great new game you should play with your friends.  It’s called “If the Browns Were A…?” game.  It’s easy and a great way to spend time if you somehow get shanghaied into watching one of those horrible displays of athletic prowess by the shores of Lake Erie.  Let’s [...]
