I Hate You, Manu Ginobli

I Hate You, Manu Ginobli

T.S. Eliot once told us that “April is the cruelest month.” He may have been more focused on the inner-workings of the human condition, our fraility, and the dashed expectations of hope, but I can’t help believe that - if Mr. Eliot was writing The Wasteland today, it would have been in front of a […]



KG, No Matter What Uniform He’s Wearing

KG, No Matter What Uniform He's Wearing

I was bored during lunch today and, for whatever reason, I thought it’d be cool to look up some Kevin Garnett highlights on Youtube. KG has always been one of my favorite NBA players. Firstly, because he played for my home-state Timberwolves, a team I watched from their inception. I remember, as a young kid […]

Chalk and Awe

I know I’ve never expressed that much interest in any sport before, with the exclusion of professional wrestling and water polo. But my dad is an enormous Kansas Jayhawks fan, so since he doesn’t have a blog of his own, I choose to write the following in his honor, and it s done in lieu […]



Sod Has March Madness

Sod Has March Madness

In a few short days, those bewitching March Madness brackets will start making their way into offices the world over. You’ll probably be harassed by one of your more collegiate co-workers into coughing up $5 for one, since arbitrarily picking teams based on familiarity and happenstance is a “team building activity.”
Well, since I have been […]



Sod Stinks Up The NFL Combine

Sod Stinks Up The NFL Combine

The NFL Combine was this past weekend. What should take a few hours has been bloated to a full six days of watching college football players run, jump and lift things. Forget the past three or four years you spent playing the game of football on a very high level against stiff competition, this is […]



The Giants Win the Superbowl!!!

By admin • Feb 3rd, 2008 • Category: General Sod, Sports

That’s right…
The Giants won the Superbowl. As a long time fan, my first inclination is to talk smack about all those doubters… Welp, go to hell. Giants babeeeee!
That’s all I got. Pats Suck arse!
Sober Follow-up:
Still pretty happy, although I would like to go back to sleep. Had to clean up the original post for the […]



The Sod Super Bowl Blog.

By admin • Feb 1st, 2008 • Category: General Sod, LiveSod LiveBlog, Sports

What you are currently looking at is, well, not much. But on Sunday, this box you see below will be filled with the nonsensical ravings of me and my cohorts as we liveblog the Super Bowl. Why are we doing this? Simple. Rather than watch the biggest game of the year with friends, a few […]



Sod Covers the NHL All-Star Game

By Nate • Jan 27th, 2008 • Category: Sports

Tonight was the NHL All-Star game. Did you watch it?
Yeah, neither did I.
While trolling through Youtube looking for highlights, I stumbled across a little primer to get us all up to speed on hockey rules and terminology for the second half of what I can only assume has been an exciting season, so far.

Hockey, the […]



Sod thinks that Vampire In Brooklyn was totally underrated.

By Erik Hagen • Jan 21st, 2008 • Category: Sports

And now, as a public service for the community, the SodBlog would like to present this update on the results of last night’s NFC Championship Game, as presented by Prince Akeem in the 1988 comedy classic Coming to America.

So there you have it. I will provide a similar update for the Chargers-Patriots game, just as […]

I’m sure that any of you who happened to compete in a Punt, Pass and Kick competition in grade school or middle school will remember fondly those hours you spent practicing the backyard, pretending to be your favorite NFL player as you punted, passed and kicked your parents and friends into exhaustion. I bet some […]
