Amidst all of everything that is going wrong with the NFL this season (Tom Brady didn’t serve any of his suspension, Roger Goodell is still commissioner, Andy Dalton is on fire and Michael Vick is somehow still a starting quarterback, one thing you may not have noticed is that NBA training camps opened today! That’s right, everyone’s favorite sport that lasts from October to June started. Now, there have been lots of changes across the NBA landscape the past few years. Continue reading Eat My Sports: It’s not even the start of the season and Derrick Rose is …

There’s a little game here in the U.S called foosball. Discovered by Bobby Boucher in the great state of Louisiana in 1998, we create this cult where a business owns a day of the week, and we buy in.

I’m a consumer and I love it. I own multiple jerseys, play fantasy football and alter my weekends plans to watch the games I want. And I think about 65% of males fit this demographic. I have no statistical data to back this up, but hey, let’s call it a hunch.

My point, my amigos is that if over 50% of the American males are this dedicated, imagine our surprise when the teams we thought would be obliterating people have fallen back to the pack in a embarrassing fashion.

Seattle Seahawks: 0-2
Indianapolis Colts: 0-2
Philadelphia Eagles : 0-2
New York Giants : 0-2

Many were making arguments that some of those would be hoisting the Lombardi by the end of the year. My advice is to leave it alone and let Oakland duke it out and Jacksonville try and fight for a title.

Hello, fellow NFL fans,  and welcome to the aftermath of Week 1 of the NFL season! If you’re a Redskins fan, hey, there’s always 2016. If you’re a Patriots fan, we get it, you won the Super Bowl and are really pissy about Roger Goodell, and you want America to know that you trot out symphonies to let people know that Tom Brady has won four Super Bowls. If you’re a Seahawks fan, THE DYNASTY IS OVER THE DYNASTY IS OVER. And if you’re a Bills fan, it’s Week 1, you haven’t won anything yet.

Now, on to more important matters, fantasy football. Unless you’re in a league where you can trade draft picks, odds are you had a first round pick. If you’re like most sane people that spend way too much time with pretend football, you drafted Dez Bryant with a first rounder, ouch. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Your fantasy, ruined

Any of you that have been reading me for a while know that I am an avid Steelers fan. Like fellow Guy, Bryan McBournie, I understand what it’s like to root for one of the most hated teams in the league, largely because they are successful (but at least the Steelers don’t cheat to win postseason games). However today I heard the news that Pittsburgh had signed one of the most dynamic and hated athletes of all-time, Michael Vick. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Become what you hate

When you live in my world, you pay attention to a lot of football. But the worst part of my world is that unfortunately, in Richmond, VA, people give a crap way too much about the Washington Redskins. This also means that every time there is a chance for the local media to pile on Redskins quarterback RobertGriffinRobertGriffinRobertGriffin, I have to hear it get overanalyzed for weeks on end.

Now, in a lot of scenarios I tend to side with the athlete, given that if there is nothing for someone to write or talk about, they need to overblow certain stories just to keep the content going. But in the case of Griffin, he’s done this to himself. Between his “Operation Patience” campaign against the Shanahan regime, his war against Jay Gruden last year and his incredibly narcissistic approach to social media, Griffin deserves every media onslaught coming at him. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Oh, that Bobby Triple Sticks

Welcome to August, folks. Yes, this is the month where we pretend that football is back by acknowledging that pre-season football exists and having fantasy football drafts. For me, however, the end of July and beginning of August means that the Washington Redskins come uninvited into my hometown of Richmond, VA.

You see, sometime godknowswhenago, someone decided that a team that says they’re based in Washington, D.C., but plays in Maryland, should be the unofficial team of Virginia. How this happened, I don’t know, because depending on where in the state you live, you’re actually closer to the Carolina Panthers or Tennessee Titans. MEDIOCRITY!

Me, I grew up a Steelers fan because as a kid, my best friend’s family was from Pittsburgh. So I would joijn them at the local Steelers bar on Sundays and watch the games. I got sucked in because of culture, not some bs geography. Well, a few years ago, the Redskins/Virginia affiliation culminated into the genius idea that they should have their training camp in our city. Continue reading Eat My Sports: The Redskins are here, but you aren’t

To no one’s surprise today, the NFL upheld it’s four game suspension of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the never, freaking, ending, still improperly named, Deflategate, scandal. Brady is having the NFLPA file an injunction while he takes moral authority leader, Roger Goodell, to court for what he believes is an unjust suspension. Continue reading Eat My Sports: I’ll See You in Court!

The San Antonio Spurs have done it again, folks! After 16 years of relevancy and five titles, San Antonio has finally become a marquee destination for free agents.

Why? That’s what winning will get you.

Who did it get them? LaMarcus Aldridge and David West (West taking 90% less than offers from other clubs strictly to win a title. Continue reading Eat My Sports: Spurned

While most of you were once again pretending that you care about soccer (side note: I don’t pretend, I’m all in for it because of Alex Morgan and Hope Solo) the rest of the world has been buzzing about the impending NBA free agency period that begins at midnight and the contract status of one Russell Wilson.

Recent reports have that Wilson and hi agent want him to become the highest paid player in the league. Well, that’s all fine and dandy until you realize that $25 million is a significant portion of the 2015 cap of $143 million. Continue reading Eat My Sports : Wilson WILSON!!!!

I’m a fan of sports and a fan of music. My world and P.Diddy’s stopped crossing parallels round about when Keith Van Horn was drafted out of Utah and “Ill Be Missing You” was making everyone hate Daddy (at the time) for desecrating  Notorious B.I.G AND The Police. But it appears, since the first time since were merely freshmen, our worlds meet again, Mr. Combs.

One of P Dizzle’s sons is a DB and apparently cant play. Diddy, fresh off telling the cheerleaders that he had the lead track on a Godzilla album, didn’t like what one of the Bruins’ coaching staff members had to say, and well, Diddy went Diddy. Continue reading Eat My Sports: D to the I to the D he do it?
