Mets Pitcher Loses it at Wrigley

April 30, 2008 By paulmbanks

By Paul M. Banks  Thanks to Dan Biederman at CubbySwagger.net for showing me this video of New York Mets pitcher Joe Smith (no, not the former NBA #1 draft pick out of Maryland Joe Smith) losing his cool in the outfield of Wrigley. Memo to Mr. Smith, yes, the people in the stands heckling have an annual salary of about 1/100,000 of what most major league players make in a … [Read more...] about Mets Pitcher Loses it at Wrigley

Pats Draft: Solid if not Scintillating

April 29, 2008 By paulmbanks

By Paul M. Banks The New England Patriots were not flashy, but they were effective on draft weekend, going right after their needs. After last year’s draft day heist of Randy Moss, you knew that the ’08 event was going to be much less exciting than the ’07 edition. It would be very hard for Scott Pioli and company to do something as amazing as trading a fourth-rounder … [Read more...] about Pats Draft: Solid if not Scintillating

Seymour unplugged & a Special Dinner

April 27, 2008 By paulmbanks

By Seymour Pennants This is f*uckin’ hysterical.  I wonder if anyone would by a f*ckin baseball with a recorded Seymour Pennants rant for $90 f*ckin’ bucks? https://www.leeunplugged.com/ Yep, Lee Elia, author of the original uncontrolled Cubs rant is selling a baseball with a toned down, yet positive Cubs rant recorded in a chip, and autographed for $90 bucks.  I … [Read more...] about Seymour unplugged & a Special Dinner

Worst Uniforms of All-Time

April 26, 2008 By paulmbanks

By Brad Berreman, The Love of Sports.com      Even though I highly disagree with many of the choices, this column is a must read. And having my 83 Sox at #2 is outrage! My Facebook profile pic is of me as a 4 year old in that SOX shirt. Still its funny and very neccessary to hear somebody call out the 1970s Padres and the disgusting gold jerseys that the current … [Read more...] about Worst Uniforms of All-Time

Vikings win Jared Allen Sweepstakes

April 25, 2008 By paulmbanks

  By Andy Weise  Over the past week, I’ve devoted a lot of my time (key word: A LOT) to the Jared Allen sweepstakes. As it turns out for numerous weeks, the Minnesota Vikings had been quietly pursuing the All-Pro defensive end from the Kansas City Chiefs. When news broke last Friday that he was on his way to Minnesota to visit and discuss a contract, I knew the sense … [Read more...] about Vikings win Jared Allen Sweepstakes

Packers Draft Preview

April 23, 2008 By paulmbanks

By David K. Since taking the reigns as Packers general manager in 2005, Ted Thompson has preached his philosophy of building a team through the draft, rather than throwing big money at free agents in the off-season.  Thus far, Thompson has stuck to his guns.  His only major free agent signing was bringing in Charles Woodson; a move that has provided major dividends for the … [Read more...] about Packers Draft Preview

Chicago Sox Exchange 3

April 22, 2008 By paulmbanks

By the Soxman and Paul M. Banks Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Royals seem like more of a threat to me than the Tigers do right now. No team that started 0-7 has ever made the postseason. Only a handful of teams that started so poorly ever finished at or above .500. Are the Tigers de-clawed for the season already? I’ll address the Royals last because I truly don’t … [Read more...] about Chicago Sox Exchange 3

Five things to watch for this NBA Postseason

April 18, 2008 By paulmbanks

  By Andy Weise 1. Phoenix and San Antonio series – Physical play. The image of Steve Nash’s bloody nose will forever be locked into our brains. With guys like Bowen, Bell, Shaq and Duncan, this should be a classic physical playoff series. 2. Dirk Nowitzki – Can he lead? Getting Jason Kidd was supposed to take a load off Dirk’s shoulders. Dirk is definitely … [Read more...] about Five things to watch for this NBA Postseason
