Super Bowl 55 Preview

Tom Brady is in another Super Bowl. If it wasn’t for the uniform switch, or just the general fact that time moves forward, one could mistake this year’s SB as a rerun episode of a long-lasting sitcom. This will be Tom Brady’s 10th Super Bowl appearance. As a Rams fan, I’m just old enough to…

Best in the World

Kevin Durant is arguably THE greatest scorer in NBA history. To be honest, depending on how addicted to nostalgia a person is, it’s really not an argument. The guy is 7’0″ tall, has a shooting peak of 12′, and handles like a 6’0″ tall point guard. It’s very rare to see his shot get blocked…

95′ Bulls Part II?

The title is “tongue in cheek” of course. We all know the 1995 Chicago Bulls team only lost ten games while on their way to winning their fourth NBA championship against the Gary Payton and Shawn Kemp led Seattle Supersonics. The team that will be the topic of this article has already lost more than…

Game

The Golden State Warriors have one of the greatest back-courts, and two of the greatest shooters of all time on their roster. I guess three if you want to count Kevin Durant, but for the sake of this article, he doesn’t count. Here’s why…. This article is to point out that, even though we have…

Above the Rim

  I’ll start this out by saying that the Toronto Raptors beating the Milwaukee Bucks to go to the NBA finals isn’t a shock. It’s just a plot twist. The real shock is that the Milwaukee Bucks lost a 2-0 series lead in four consecutive games. Blowing a 15 point lead in a game that…

NIXTH WONDER: Irish Goodbye

Ok, so the title isn’t the exact definition of an Irish goodbye when it comes to Conor Mcgregor‘s sudden retirement from the sport of mma. Don’t judge me. The headlines are supposed to be cheesy. Back to the topic. Yes, Conor McGregor is now retired. First thought that came to my mind was, hoax. He’s…

From Dog House to Dawg Pound

The Cleveland Browns caused quite a stir yesterday with their signing of former Kansas City Chiefs running back Kareem Hunt. For those that are unfamiliar, Kareem Hunt was suspended in the middle of the 2018 NFL season for a controversial video at a hotel where Hunt is seen kicking a woman during an altercation. The…

Super Bowl 53 preview

Here we are. The final two teams left. The Los Angeles Rams and the New England Patriots. A rematch that is almost 20 years overdue. Back in 2001, the Rams (by way of St.Louis) faced off against the Patriots in what was the beginning of Tom Brady’s legacy, as the New England Patriots would defeat…

NIXTH WONDER: Are you Steel Down?

For those of you that read part one of this two-part blog, you got know a bit of history about Urban Meyer’s coaching career and why it had to end after this season. Here in part two, I’m going to talk about how the season and his career ended. Due to the rocky beginning of…

IXth WONDER:Coach Killer

Hello everybody. This is the very first of many short blog posts that I will be doing to go along with the others. Just quick little sidenotes or thoughts that I have that are honestly just too long to be facebook statuses or tweets. The name of them will be called “9th Wonder” And here…

Curtain Call pt.I

In a press conference Tuesday afternoon, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer officially announced that he was not only stepping away from the team after the Buckeyes Rose Bowl game, but stepping away from coaching for good. Anybody that has been following this team all season has heard the speculation of Meyer retiring since the…
