Buckeye fans go too far: The exile of Kirk Herbstreit

March 21st, 2011 by Chris Humpherys

I’ve painted my face before.  I’ve traveled the country, spending hundreds upon thousands of dollars to attend different sporting events.  I watch SportsCenter eleventeen times a day.  I run a sports website.  My affinity for sports has even cost me a few relationships.

December 31st, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

The final days of 2010 are upon us, which means that SportsChump has completed its first full calendar year.  Thanks to all who have come and gone and ahem… come again.

SportsChump first went viral in April, 2008 which means we’re rapidly approaching our terrible twos.  Consider that fair warning. Read the rest of this entry »

Change is good, isn’t it? Urban Meyer leaves Florida… again.

December 10th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

I’m not fond of change.

I’ve stayed in relationships longer than I should have, jobs longer than I should have and cities longer than I should have, all because I found myself in a comfort zone.  I was afraid of what lay waiting on the other side of change. Read the rest of this entry »

As you may recall, Randy Moss and Zenyatta topped (and bottomed) last week’s Hail or Rail.  Let’s see who takes the honors this time around. Read the rest of this entry »

Kite surfing by sunset at St. Petersburg Beach (video)

October 13th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

As I sit here writing this post poolside, I’m reminded of just one of the many reasons I live here in Florida.

It’s mid-October, sunshiny and 82 degrees outside.  I’d be sipping on frozen margaritas (raspberry or mango are my personal favorites) if I didn’t have to work in a few hours.  Read the rest of this entry »

September 5th, 2010 by Chris Humpherys

There’s not always a lot that can be told from the first weekend of college football.  Most major programs schedule patsies as warm-ups for their season.  But some winners and losers became very clear this Labor Day weekend. 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 »

They said what? Jordan on LeBron, Bus Cook on Favre, Wade on 9/11, Saban on pimps and film critics on Inception

Michael Jordan on LeBron James

Poor LeBron.  He’s been living in Michael Jordan’s shadow ever since he entered the league.  His recent “Decision” hasn’t made things any easier for his newly, blemished image. Read the rest of this entry »
