February 22nd, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

I played in a charity poker event last week, believe it or not, at the same temple where I had my Bar mitzvah so many years ago. Nothing like pocket tens and torahs to brighten up an evening. Read the rest of this entry »

Tweeting for the Super Bowl

February 8th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Since I couldn’t make it to either Miami or New Orleans for Super Bowl XLIV, I decided to hunker down in front of the laptop and Tweet the night away.

February 1st, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

You and your buddies have been planning a Super Bowl party for months.  Deep down inside, you know the party with its canned beer, half-eaten bag of stale chips and couch that seats three will suck, but at least you’ll be with your boys for the most hallowed of all sports days.

A juicing Big Mac: Mark McGwire’s steroid use leaves more questions than answers

January 13th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

As many of you already know, it’s the simple things in life that tickle the sportschump’s fancy.
