Hawaii's Coach Is Still A Sore Loser

Lost in the media wash of Obama’s “Beer Summit” and the newest revelations of who tested positive in 2003 for Performance-Enhancing Drugs (here’s looking at you, Big Papi), is the mild outrage from the gay community at the University of Hawaii football coach, Greg McMackin.
At a press conference this week, McMackin brought up last years’ [...]

Brett Favre Considering Retiring from Retirement

Former Packers and Jets QB Brett Favre, holder of a myriad of NFL career records, is reportedly considering retiring from retirement. While no source close to Favre has corroborated this assertion, Favre was reportedly seen tossing rolled-up socks into a laundry hamper by a neighbor through a living room window. Coupled with Favre’s dalliance with [...]

NCAA Tourney: ...So, You're Saying There's a Chance

I was flipping around reddit while watching the middle of the Washington v. Miss State first half and stumbled across an article entitled, “Five Things You Didn’t Know: March Madness.” It’s like someone’s reading my mind, I’m watching March Madness. What are the odds?
Speaking of odds, the very first fact pointed this out:
the odds of you picking [...]

Sod Resents Not Being Invited to NBA All-Star Weekend

Not to take anything away from Kevin Garnett or Lebron James or even Kobe Bryant, but we here at Sodblog strongly believe that we deserved an invitation to the NBA All-Star game. We’ve had a pretty damn good year, stats-wise and frankly, we expected to be rewarded for all of the success we’ve had. We [...]

Fox's Thom Brennaman Blows Tim Tebow Live On TV...Oh Yeah, and the Gators won the BCS

Look, I watch a lot of college football. Too much, really. It’s gotten to the point that I often say the exact same thing that an announcer does a few seconds prior. It’s kind of creepy. Actually, nix that, it’s really creepy. Thanks, 8-10 hours of college football a week.
What Fox has done is atrocious.  [...]



NBA Basketball and the Men It’s Known Biblically -OR- If Portland Wasn’t So Damn Good Maybe I Could Get Some Sleep

By Derek • Nov 30th, 2008 • Category: Sports

With the NBA season in full swing I couldn’t happier. I wait with the patience of a shaolin monk for basketball season to roll around. Being an orphan of sorts when it comes to the NBA (North Dakota has no professional team) I found a surrogate parent in the Portland Trailblazers. My timing in moving [...]



Preemptive Corporate Sponsorship

Preemptive Corporate Sponsorship

Nike has apparently obtained a new form of technology that allows them to sponsor athletes that existed in the bygone days before the footwear mega-giant came into being. It’s a growth industry. Think about it, there were thousands of athletes in the modern era that never had the luxury of having their own designer shoe. [...]

What's Worse?

A few nights ago, while watching the women’s all-around gymnastics finals, Sara and I both remarked that none of the Chinese gymnasts looked old enough to be done losing their baby teeth. Around the time we came to that realization, the commentators announced the Olympic rules stating that the gymnasts had to turn 16 years [...]

Olympic Overload

Michael, we’re all very excited, but the rest of us don’t feel the need to get uncomfortably close to showing the world our wang.
I’ve been watching entirely too much of NBC’s Olympic coverage over the last few days. I didn’t watch the opening ceremony on Friday night, but since then, I’ve been glued to [...]
