June 13th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

I had an interesting conversation with a reader the other day.

Charlie Sheenisms and their equivalent in the world of sports

March 9th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

Like most Americans, I love a good train wreck and these days, we all have a ticket aboard the Charlie Sheen Express.  Every time the artist formerly known as Carlos Estevez appears on my boob tube, I find it hard to turn away from the spiraling descent that has become his career.

Tony and Dan spoof Brett Favre spoofing LeBron James. Confused yet? (video)

January 20th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

While our two most ‘beloved’ athletes made decisions this year that altered the course of  our nation’s history and shifted the earth’s axis, two less-talked about gentlemen took it upon themselves to spoof them both in spectacular fashion.

In 2010, we talked endlessly about Brett Favre’s decisions to retire, retire and retire once more.  Then his package went viral, the result of an ill-advised text message.  LeBron’s decision to leave Cleveland was the sports story of the year.  Later, the marketing geniuses at Nike made us empathize with LeBron’s plight in their “What Should I Do?” commercial.

Well, Tony and Dan have combined these two tales in a stroke of comedic genius.  I wish I could take credit for this but I am merely a conduit.

Let’s have the boys’ handiwork speak for itself, shall we?  Nice work, gentlemen, and once again, children…. EARMUFFS!

Who the hell is Maverick Carter?

October 6th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

Maverick was a kitschy, Mel Gibson riverboat gambling movie, remade from the original starring James Garner.  Maverick is also Tom Cruise’s character’s name in the 1980s classic, Top Gun.  Unfortunately for LeBron James, however, Maverick Carter is not a fictional character.  Read the rest of this entry »

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 »

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 »
