“I’ve been traded to……NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!”
One of the other Dirty Hippies posed the following question yesterday:
Here’s the scenario. You’re a pro athlete. One day the coach calls you in and says “son, you’ve been traded to ___________.”
What the worst team you can fill in the blank with? Four leagues, and feel free to elaborate on why if you feel [...]

Favre “retirement” clock ticking. And only 3 years too late.
I used to be a big fan of Brett Favre. For me, the turning point came when he held the Packers hostage with the first of his 46 retirement decisions and how he treated his successor, Aaron Rodgers. If Favre was truly a team player and truly cared about the organization, city and [...]
Is Halladay already a Hall of Famer?

“Maybe you can’t change” replaced all of the hope that he would get things straight and finally show the consistent [...]

The calm before the storm
Tonight really kicks off the start of what has been built up to be nothing short of a true “silly season” in the NBA. We’ve already seen the “:LeBron sweepstakes and US tour”, the turnover in Cleveland’s front office, the (unofficial) courtship by the Bulls of Phil Jackson and the Knicks, Nets, Bulls, Cavs [...]
(Don’t?) Believe the Hype….
I’m a sucker for hyped rookie talent in baseball. Have been for years – since a hot September by a young player led to a great Strat-o-Matic card the following year. Hell, one of my oldest and closest friends bought a batch of Dave Valle rookie cards based on his [...]
Favre cries wolf. Wolf tells him to go F-himself.
