Robert Griffin III is a creep. In his new adidas commercial he’s a creep, that is. As the former legendary Baylor Bear signal caller has officially signed his 4-year deal with the Washington Redskins this week, RG3 shines in his latest spot where he haunts a scared football player that can’t escape seeing the locked-up quarterback in “Do What Light Does.” The adidas adiZero 5-Star cleat, out now at adidas.com, has officially kicked...

As anyone who reads this site or my own humble origins knows, I am a Penn State graduate and lifelong Nittany Lion. For the past eight months, I’ve seen heroes fall, legends rightfully besmirched, administrators put on trial and a monster put behind bars far, far too late. I’ve listened to and read about young boys being subjected to living hell and a community left reeling. And now, as the dust finally begins to settle following the...

The last post I wrote for this site was over a month ago, and it was immediately following the Boston Celtics and Miami Heat Game Seven contest when the Heat topped Boston to move onto the NBA Finals.  Prior to that, I wrote a post about Kevin Garnett.  Before THAT, I wrote a post about Floyd Mayweather before his fight against Miguel Cotto, and before that, there was a post written right after I completed Shaun T.’s 60-day maniacal workout,...

A quick glimpse at the headlines on a national sports news site looked more like a tabloid. Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil showed a gun in a traffic incident. Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant was arrested for a domestic violence misdemeanor.  The Paterno family planned to fight against the Freeh report. Knicks guard Jason Kidd was cited for driving while intoxicated. Tomorrow, the headlines may change, but certainly similar stories will be...

The man did a cartwheel,  (flawlessly, I might add … go try to do one when you get some free time. I almost threw my back out – mid-cartwheel he picked up a ball off the ground, finished the cartwheel and sprang up with the ball, put it between his legs, and dunked the ball with authority. The man is Justin “Jus Fly” Darlington. The dunk is one of the greatest dunks I’ve ever seen. The occasion was just another Sunday...

While on vacation this week, the buzz around the condo that I was staying in was about the statements that Kobe Bryant made about the 1992 Dream Team. Yes, Kobe feels the 2012 team is superior, and I blogged about it (inside the numbers) on my personal site because it was intriguing to me. If you are a basketball fan like me, you love it when personal challenges are thrown out there because it gives you an opportunity to compare generations of hoops...

How dope is it that you can wake up one day, step outside and go hoop, eat good food, listen to good music and stare at good-looking women? God bless America. Why the patriotic salute? Well, right up the street from Howard University, Converse and the World Basketball Festival decided to roll out the necessary resources at Banneker Community Center in Washington, D.C. to host a block party to celebrate local street culture through basketball, music,...

Bryan Crawford and I were arguing over who would win in a shooting contest hosted at the Team USA basketball practice between Deron Williams and Russell Westbrook. Bryan and his usual homerism towards the state of Illinois clearly had him talking crazy about Deron and how he used to be chunky back in the day. I, on the other hand, was clearly leaning towards Mr. Zero Appreciation, my own homerism towards the Oklahoma City Thunder, and his buzzcut...

This is an impromptu post, as I’m not usually as reactive to crazy things that are randomly said without proof or evidence. But I’ll be damned if this wasn’t on videotape, and I saw Kyrie Irving talking crazy to Kobe Bryant, getting Kobe riled up and getting Kobe to accept a $50,000 wager on the two of them to play 1-on-1. A few points quickly. 1. Kyrie Irving is possibly having the best week out of any basketball player in the...

First off, hat tip to @Jubanator14 for the inspiration. Salute to you sir. Secondly, it’s possible I’m going to be raging against the Dwight Howard machine repeatedly until he’s on a new team. So, anytime I feel like poking fun at him, I will. Thirdly… #GOTDAMNDOGDIDYOUSEERUDYDUNKONDWIGHTSNECK? Yes, the United States won the game in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. Yes, that was Kobe Bryant that got shook at the three-point...
