I’m sure it’s clear to readers of this blog (and people with souls) that no month of the year comes close to being as awesome as October. There are some Philistines who will probably argue for April–start of baseball, end of March Madness (which seems like cheating), and the start of NBA and NHL postseasons, [...]

The NBA season starts one week too early.

I have an announcement to make.

Listen up, people. It has come to my attention that NBA mascots are all messed up. Please note the following: The New Orleans Hornets will henceforth be known as the New Orleans Jazz. The Utah Jazz will be known as the Utah Raptors, or Utahraptors, if you like. The Toronto Raptors will move out of [...]
Metaphors are very difficult.

Apparently, because Gilbert Arenas is an idiot, Nike is coming under fire (did you see what I did there?) for an ad campaign that uses a firearm reference. That is to say that Kobe Bryant’s blurb includes the line: “I don’t leave anything in the chamber.” Yes, this is a chamber in a gun. Specifically, [...]
I hate the Lakers.

I’m not really sure why. Maybe because they’re always good and I feel like they need to be knocked down a peg. Maybe because I have the irrational belief that Lakers fans are assholes. Maybe because Kobe Bryant is a rapist. I do hate rapists. Maybe because of Pau Gasol. At any rate, suffice it [...]
I’m pretty sure it’s June.

So please explain to me why basketball and hockey are still going on. It feels like both postseasons have been going on since approximately 1997. This is either a marketing or a scheduling failure. It feels odd to watch the Roland Garros final and then an early game of the NBA Finals. It feels stunningly [...]
ESPN.com has stupid polls.

Their current one is: “Which is the best head-to-head rivalry in sports right now?” A. Roger Federer-Rafael Nadal B. Alexander Ovechkin-Sidney Crosby C. Kobe Bryant-LeBron James D. Tiger Woods-Phil Mickelson Did I miss something? Are ice hockey and basketball not team sports? (As a note of interest, Kobe-LeBron is far out in front, then Federer-Nadal, [...]
Please help me understand the appeal of basketball.

I’ve never liked it. I’d rather like to, since it’s one of those neato American sports. It was one of the sports at which I was not totally terrible as a kid. Plus, Kobe Bryant went to my high school, so that’s cool. I like wearing Chuck Taylors. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s rôle in Airplane! is great. [...]
