Quick Fact of the Day

There would have been no NHL in New York if it wasn’t for one man.
His name is Howie Morenz.
The Babe Ruth of hockey was one of the greatest players of his time and he deserves way more recognition then he currently receives. King Clancy, who played against Morenz, once said this about him.
“Morenz was the [...]

Best of the Best: Part VII - Feel Good Stories

I was just reading a few sports articles, as I continued to procrastinate from school work, when I came across a story on Cleveland Cavaliers’ star LeBron James. 
Apparently, James and the Lebron James Family Foundation treated 800 locals, most of whom are homeless, to a thanksgiving dinner at Quicken Loans Arena, and then to a movie this [...]

Dud For Life: Part III - The Trial of Bertuzzi v. Moore

So the incident we-all-know-so-well happened on March of 2004. Yes, that’s three and a half years ago, yet us hockey fans still have to suffer through the never-ending trial news that tends to pop up every few weeks.
Honestly, we get it. 
Todd Bertuzzi did something wrong and Steve Moore hasn’t stopped crying. But the real crime [...]

TSC Top 25: Did I Miss Something?

There were no shocking upsets or losses tagged to top five teams … finally! College football managed to maintain the status quo for one week, at least as far as this season has gone, it was ridiculously tame.
A number of top 25 teams were beaten but mostly by ranked opponents. Virginia Tech to unbeaten BC, [...]

Best of the Best: Part VI - Top Young Quarterbacks

Those of you who watched ESPN’s Monday Night Football broadcast last week (Colts-Jags) are certainly sick of hearing about Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Even Tony Kornheiser fans like myself were disgusted with how much he talked about the topic Monday night. Was that all he prepared? Without a doubt it was his low point [...]

Best of the Best: Part V - Sports, Where Would We Be Without You?

I signed on to this website today to begin my usual rant on what’s wrong in the world of sports when I watched the video Hosea posted yesterday.
Then it occurred to me. Could you imagine a world without sports?
It seems trivial and silly, but honestly, could you imagine a world without sports? God [...]

TSC Top 25: Week 8

As I attempt to unsuccessfully rank teams, wrap your mind around how fast this season is going. Cherish it, these every-team-is-going-to-lose type seasons don’t come around often.

Ohio State - until someone proves otherwise (perhaps this weekend in happy valley?) the Buckeyes will remain the top ranked team in the country. They can’t afford any blips [...]

Quick Fact of the Day

If the Canucks are able to pick up a win against the red hot Hurricanes, it will be their fourth straight road win of the season, leaving them undefeated away from the Garage.
The last time the Canucks won their first four road games of the year was back in the 1993-94 season.
We all know what [...]

Quick Fact of the Day

Why is the world’s most popular sports drink called Gatorade? Simple.
Try playing Divison 1A NCAA football in Gainesville, Florida, one of the hottest places on earth where football is actually played.
When playing in the extreme heat, water isn’t good enough, so the University of Florida got it’s scientists to create a drink that was better [...]

Best of the Best: Part IV - Never Better

Never in the realm of the NBA will there ever be a player like Michael Jordan. Never.
There will, however, be players that can come close to his talents, but to have all of the tools that MJ had is impossible to duplicate.
Lately, Kobe Bryant’s offensive skill set has been compared to that of the Air [...]

TSC Top 25: BCS Standings Released

Polls are useless. Absolutely f*cking useless.
The Bowl Championship Series poll came out this week, whoop-ti-do! And as per usual Fox over-hyped the sh*t out of it on their NFL broadcast. None of this matters right now and it sure as hell didn’t matter when the pre-season polls came out.
Ten teams ranked in the pre-season AP [...]

Quick Fact of the Day

Does the name ‘Ray Finkle’ sound familiar to you? Well it should if you’ve watched Jim Carrey’s classic comedy Ace Ventura: Pet Detective.
In the movie, Finkle is the former kicker for the Miami Dolphins. He misses the winning field goal in the closing seconds of Super Bowl XVII and blames the holder, and quarterback, Dan [...]

Dud For Life: Part II - Jesse Boulerice

By now, this should be a no brainer.
During Wednesday’s game between the Flyers and the Canucks, Philadelphia tough guy Boulerice deliberately cross-checked Vancouver’s Ryan Kesler in the face.
The 29-year-old enforcer was given a match penalty and a game misconduct, which means he faces an automatic review by the NHL. There is no doubt that Boulerice [...]
