So Jeff Garcia is now playing for the Omaha Nighthawks of the UFL. I’ve always really liked Garcia and considered him to be one of the great underrated quarterbacks of the last 10 years or so. Seriously, Dangerfield gets more respect than this guy. ESPN published a nice little article on Garcia’s current UFL venture [...]

30 for 30: LITTLE BIG MEN
September 6th, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers
Yeah, homies. T-Willikins is back with some stuff to say about ESPN’s most recent 30 FOR 30 documentary, LITTLE BIG MEN. From the start, I think most will agree that this is not one of the series’ best segments. It’s structured with a very predictable combination of talking heads, archive footage, and voiceover narration. I [...]

PLAYMAKERS
August 29th, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers
In 2003 ESPN decided it was going to delve into drama. If it were possible for unintentional humor to be intentional I would say that the channel produced something really funny and smutty—two qualities I wholeheartedly enjoy in a media text, and, let’s face it, in life. PLAYMAKERS is a series about a professional football [...]

Another Woods Tragedy (But Not That Woods)
August 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · T-Willikers
Damn– I know Bengals superfan Seamus McGee is feeling this one: first the most promising drafted back in Bengals memory goes down to a career-ender, and now, even worse, his son dies from an asthma attack? Sad day, indeed. The Poster sends its love toward Cinci.

THE BIRTH OF BIG AIR
August 1st, 2010 · 2 Comments · T-Willikers
Last Wednesday, ESPN premiered its latest installment of the 30 FOR 30 series, THE BIRTH OF BIG AIR. The film is directed by Jeff Tremaine, the guy who directed JACKASS (which didn’t really seem like it was directed at all, which may just be his genius), and co-produced by Tremaine, Johnny Knoxville, and Spike Jonze. [...]

College Football Mystification
July 29th, 2010 · No Comments · T-Willikers
I like how this business with embattled former Oregon QB Jeremiah Masoli is somehow legal–finding a way to enroll him in one of three grad programs Oregon does not offer to make him eligible to play at another school (in this case, Ole Miss). But somehow texting recruits more than X number of times is [...]

Redickulous Poetry
July 27th, 2010 · 1 Comment · T-Willikers
I’ll admit it, we here at TDGP are literary types. Ground Possum read Hawthorne’s complete works while serving a prison sentence, and me, well, let’s just say I’ve danced with the devil in the pale moonlight. (Ok, that wasn’t a literary reference. It was from Batman. But I’ll bet you a Calupa–a steak chalupa–that it [...]

So Minnesota GM Prez David Kahn was fined 50K for talking about how he doesn’t think recently acquired forward Michael Beasley is going to smoke weed anymore. How is this a bad thing? He didn’t accuse him of anything. In fact, he complemented him in a way and indicated that Beasley was turning over a [...]

Ding Dong, Da Boss is Dead
July 14th, 2010 · 4 Comments · T-Willikers
Well, unskinnybop. George “Da Boss” Steinbrenner just died. This is not a very big deal to me. Like most non-Yankees fans, I never had much of a sense of humor for Steinbrenner. The way he threw around money and shifted the economic climate of the MLB—and pro sports in general, I would say—hasn’t necessarily been [...]
