On this edition of The UC Show, Ed is on the hot seat as he calmly explains why he feels the Thunder are down. However, the calm suddenly became a boiling rage which was unable to be tamed. Till called in to give some insight and, as always, the chat room held it down. Tinsley was noticeably quiet throughout the show, as he is preparing his mind for the best and the worst that could follow. As for Kenny? Well, he has a man-to-man chat with James...

These days, it’s become a media staple to look back on somber anniversaries and ask what’s almost become a clichéd question: what have we learned since? Whether they are moments where society at-large can’t help but to avoid the remembrances of or the passing of time of an intense, but localized, tragedy, there’s a tendency to wonder what has changed since tears were shed and anger was thick in the air. More than anything, these “what...

Evidently, Percy Harvin wants to be traded from the Minnesota Vikings. Source confirms Percy Harvin has requested a trade from #Vikings. Seen a lot of speculation about Harvin’s beef. The idea that Harvin is mad about contract vs. mad about role aren’t mutually exclusive. Vikings are wary of paying him. If he wants to get paid elsewhere, he needs to prove he can stay on field — and they don’t think he can. — Tom Pelissero...

As I’m sure you’re all well aware of, the trial of former Penn State defensive coaching legend and accused pedophile Jerry Sandusky is currently taking place. It’s something I’ve spent a considerable amount of energy trying to stay away from, selfishly not wanting to learn more of the lurid details the alleged victims had to share, not wanting to see my alma mater brought once again to the limelight for this horrible scandal. It’s...

The City of Wind’s two hilarious actors Nick Offerman (Parks and Recreation) and Craig Robinson (The Office) are doing battle once again. This time, with an ode to baseball’s favorite song for the 7th-inning stretch, courtesy of New Era Caps. Even the suits have something to say about these spots. “New Era is a valued member of both the White Sox and Cubs family of corporate partners and we are thrilled to have our rivalry selected...

Every sports fan has a penchant towards supporting certain types of players. One friend in particular always likes the same kind of athletes. Quiet, humble, hard-working, disciplined. If I could just add one more adjective to this, I’d add boring. I, on the other hand, seem to be the polar opposite of my friend. I like brash, arrogant, cocky, loudmouth personalities. Some might even call them jerks. From players like Russell Westbrook to Cam...

LaDainian Tramayne Tomlinson, aka L.T., that’s right I said L.T., because even Lawrence Taylor can appreciate the career this latest version of L.T., ver. 2.1. The man we’ve affectionately called L.T. for the past 15 years (4 for TCU, 9 for San Diego, 2 for the New York Jets) had to leap a variety of hurdles that seemed one part foolish and one part unfair. From the inability to spell or say his name correctly, to doubting his talents...

On all social media notes, people have a hate/hate relationship with Russell Westbrook. Sure he gets a little out of control sometimes, but make no mistakes about it; Russell Westbrook is a great player. No one can really argue against the fact that he is one of the 15 best players in the NBA. Russie just happens to play with a top 3 player who everyone thinks should be getting the majority of the shots. Kevin Durant deserves the ball. As much as...

26 years ago today, Len Bias was drafted by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the 1986 NBA Draft. The Celtics were going to continue their franchise reloading ways. With Larry Bird, Kevin McHale and Robert Parish’s eventual evolution into dinosaurs about to take place, the opportunity to bring on Bias to the squad was going to be a Celtics’ fans dream come true. Then, tragedy struck. You know the story. Well, unless you’re...

Every good drama or action story needs a great villian. The fortitude, courage and charisma of the hero is measured by the degree of difficulty needed to vanquish the bad guys. Without Lex Luthor, Superman is just a cross-dresser running around in tights and a goofy cape. This is why I submit that Isiah was, in his absence, an important facet in the success of the Dream Team. The documentary emphasized how good the chemistry and comaraderie was with...
