Mike Shanahan Dropped like a Saigon Whore

As though there was not enough drama in the NFL this season, we have even juicier news than Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the foot, Tom Brady being out for the season, the Dallas Cowboys not making the playoffs and Brett Favre being “forced” out of Green Bay. Mike Shanahan with his Team Long-time Denver Broncos head coach and most recently executive VP of football operations, Mike Shanahan was fired Tuesday. Shanahan was dropped two days after the last day of the regular season, where his Broncos lost a decisive game to division rival, San Diego Chargers. After going 8-5, the...

UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008
December 28, 2008 by Redmanthatcould
Filed under Sports Reviews
UFC 92: The Ultimate 2008 UFC 92 is one of the biggest cards I’ve seen in recent memory, if not the biggest. The three fights I will go over could each easily anchor any card as the main event, and there were no disappointments, but plenty of upsets. This was the sort of event that really confuses me when I hear people are still fans of boxing, because the UFC is so much more exciting than boxing. Where UFC has really excelled and boxing has decisively slowed down is the fact that there are MMA fighters that are becoming household names, while the average person couldn’t name two...

Filed under Sports Reviews
This will be the first of two games between the Boston Celtics and Los Angeles Lakers, for a repeat of their showdown in last seasons finals, where the Celtics mopped the floor the with the Lakers. Celtics are on an absolute tear this season, with the best start in NBA history at 27-2, and this game will really be a test of how each team stacks up this season. Celtics are looking for their 20th win in a row against an offensively-charged Lakers team, that is 23-5 overall, and 14-1 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles. To start the game, Paul Pierce, of the Celtics, and Kobe Bryant, of the Lakers,... [Read more of this review]

Visiting Los Angeles Kings Shutout Columbus Blue Jackets

Filed under Sports Reviews
Tuesday night, the Los Angeles Kings entered Nationwide Arena coming off of two road loses, with a record of 13-14-6, while the Columbus Blue Jackets, with a record of 14-15-4, have won their last five home games. During their last meeting, earlier this month at Staples Center, the Kings shutout the Blue Jackets 3-0, and they were poised to let history repeat itself. Blue Jackets unfortunately have to play the rest of the season without their rookie phenom, Derick Brassard, after he dislocated his shoulder last week during a fight with fellow rookie James Neal of the Dallas Stars. Both teams... [Read more of this review]
New York Giants get Squashed by Dallas Cowboys Defense

Filed under Sports Reviews
The New York Giants come into this game at 11-2 against the struggling Dallas Cowboys who are 8-5. This is the second to last regular season game to ever be played at the Cowboys Texas Stadium, before they move to their new home in Arlington, Texas for the 2009 season. Both teams are coming off of some recent controversy - Giants Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the foot (literally) and Cowboys Terrell Owens being very vocal (as usual) about not getting the ball down-the-stretch in their lose last week. Owens was booed during the opening introductions, and was booed several more times throughout... [Read more of this review]
Toronto Maple Leafs Stave Off the Los Angeles Kings
December 2, 2008 by Redmanthatcould
Filed under Sports Reviews
If you’re gonna lose, I guess it’s better to look good while doing it; the new jerseys for the Los Angeles Kings are very slick. With the Toronto Maple Leafs vising the Kings, it meant just about everyone in Los Angeles that transplanted from Toronto was in attendance. At this point, the Kings “home” games have pretty much turned into road games, since they have no real fans and their crowds almost always are predominantly cheering for their opponents. In any case, this game was a pretty entertaining evening with two struggling franchises squaring off. The Leafs entered... [Read more of this review]
Atlanta Falcons Outplay the San Diego Chargers

Filed under Sports Reviews
What a difference a year makes, huh? Last year, the San Diego Charges came into week 13 with a 6-5 record, before winning their next five straight, then losing in the second round of the playoffs, while the Atlanta Falcons came into week 13 at 3-8, to then go onto to loss their next five games, ending their season at 3-13. Now in 2008, the tables have most certainly turned. The Chargers came into this game at a pathetic 4-7 in a division they were expecting to win handily, and the Falcons came in at 7-4 on the shoulders of their rookie superstar quarterback, Matt Ryan. In their last 5 meetings,... [Read more of this review]

Your Los Angeles Kings unveiled their new alternate jersey this past Saturday, November 22 during a shootout loss to Colorado in front of a sold out crowd at the Staples Center. For those of you that haven’t seen the Kings new alternate jersey, here it is: The L.A. Kings New Alternate Jersey This jersey clearly recalls the Kings heyday of the late 80’s to mid 90’s, otherwise known as the Gretzky era, with it’s black and silver color scheme. It was around this time, when I was about 10 or 11 that I started watching and generally becoming interested in hockey, and being that... [Read more of this review]
Cleveland Browns destroy the Buffalo Bills Playoff Hopes
November 19, 2008 by Redmanthatcould
Filed under Sports Reviews
Maybe that title is a bit dramatic, but the Bills needed this win to keep pace with the 6-4 Patriots, and Dolphins (and the Dolphins are actually ahead of the Patriots, since they won their head-to-head game). Besides that, the Bills are playing the fucking 3-6 Browns - who expects them to actually lose? Especially coming off of three losses in a row, you think the Bills could step it up (at home, I might add) against the Browns. I am already talking all this smack about the Browns, but let’s not forget they are still the only team to beat the 9-1 Giants this season. But still…it’s... [Read more of this review]
