Dustin Johnson, parking tickets and the failure to pay attention

August 24th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Dustin Johnson is a professional golfer.  I’m not really a professional anything.  Dustin Johnson has earned $7.5 million dollars over his career.  I made $200 tending bar last Saturday night.  Other than that, Dustin and I have quite a bit in common. Read the rest of this entry »

National League Hit Leaders by Team: My shot at redemption

August 19th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

As I mentioned in part one of our all-time hit leaders trivia contest, I had a significantly easier time naming the greatest hitters of the 16 National League teams than I did with the American League. Read the rest of this entry »

American League All-Time Hits Leaders by Team Trivia Contest

August 18th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

I was watching the Rays-Rangers game the other night when I heard an interesting statistic.

As Michael Young stepped to the plate for the first time, the local announcers referred to him as the Texas Rangers’ all-time hits leader.  Really?  Michael Young?  Who knew?  Read the rest of this entry »

Jay-Z leaves Mel Gibson-like rant on LeBron James voice mail: A parody (video)

August 9th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Apparently Dan Gilbert, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley and the entire city of Cleveland aren’t the only ones upset that LeBron James has left the Cavaliers.  Allegedly, his best bud, hip-hop mogul and part owner of the New Jersey Nets, Jay-Z, is also angry with King James’ decision to fly south for the winter.

Like the Heat, hate the Heat. Still undecided.

July 28th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

I’m torn.

Not Rip Torn, the actor, but torn torn.  Unsure torn.  Conflicted torn.

Now that some of the dust has settled since LeBron James publicly spurned Cleveland for the oft-unfilled American Airlines Arena, I’m still not sure whether the move was a) good for the league b) good for the fans or c) one I’m looking forward to watching. Read the rest of this entry »

Charles Barkley to leave TNT for Phoenix Suns? A Dear Chuck letter

July 16th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Dear Chuck,

As I sit here on my sofa writing this, you’re probably out at a casino, golf course or ritzy, all-you-can-eat buffet somewhere, having the time of your life.  But I have something other than cards, bunkers and food on my mind. Read the rest of this entry »

LeBron James-mania sparks an imaginative 48 hours on Twitter

July 9th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

What can I say?  This past week, I’ll freely admit, I fell prey to the non-stop, LeBron-a-thon that became ESPN, Twitter and the rest of the media outlets nationwide (although I feel a little dirty now that it’s all said and done). Read the rest of this entry »

Remembering Hank Gathers (video)

July 8th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

March, 2010 marked twenty years since the passing of Hank Gathers.  I intended to write about him and my Loyola-Marymount experience at the time, but the words didn’t come out right.  After watching ESPN’s Guru of Go, a documentary about LMU’s former head coach Paul Westhead, I was once again reminded of Gathers’ legacy Read the rest of this entry »

The SportsChump Reality TV Challenge

June 29th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

It’s summertime.  Basketball season is over, football is still a few months away and the United States has been eliminated from the World Cup, leaving us sports fans with little on TV to watch other than reality shows about snobby housewives lost on a desert island who must sing, dance and lose weight in order to find their one true love.  Read the rest of this entry »
