Brew Crew Ball :: I Hate the Hall of Fame

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

It’s taken me years to realize this, but I hate the Hall of Fame. I’ve always been a baseball history buff, even when I didn’t follow the season too closely.  I used to get really worked up about the arguments for and against various candidates, and the questions of which Hall of Famers were […]

Larry Bird: Glad he didn’t pay attention in high school

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

This is a Larry Bird tribute that aired right before the Celtics faced the Bulls in the first round of the 1986 NBA playoffs. Based on this quote from the end of the video, I’m not surprised Larry wasn’t asked to take part in the NBA All-Star Stay In School Jam.

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

All
signs point to the C’s walking in this matchup, but I’m hoping against hope
that we could see a pretty entertaining back-and-forth tonight in Boston.
The

over the Magic, while the Rockets are in the midst of a desultory and
definitely odd road trip that has […]

Why … the Bulls are fool’s gold

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

The Chicago Bulls are 2-1 since Jim Boylan took over, and 2-1 since JB made his most significant move by putting Ben Gordon on the bench, and Chris Duhon in the starting lineup. Since the switch, Gordon has easily played his best basketball of the season, averaging 31.7 points per game while taking in a […]

The 10-man rotation, starring the quite movable Ron Artest

January 3rd, 2008 · No Comments

A
look around the league and the web that covers it. It’s also important to note
that the rotation order and starting nods aren’t always listed in order of
importance. That’s for you, dear reader, to figure out.
