Jay Cutler Trade Countdown!! and other news

March 31st, 2009 · No Comments · Doc Hollywood

What a great day! The Cats get Calipari and, according to a report on Yahoo!, “The Broncos’ owner says the team is shopping Jay Cutler after both sides couldn’t end their feud.” With the imminent trading of Cutler, I will finally have zero reasons to root for the Broncos. Adios childhood, hello new future!
I [...]

Job Listings

March 30th, 2009 · No Comments · T-Willikers

Much virtual ink has been spilled in the last couple of days about TDGP patron demon John Calipari and his imminent move to UK. We like this move over here, as it solidifies his place within the pantheon of overtly sleazy NCAA basketball coaches. If I knew how to use photoshop I would [...]

TDGP Weekend Wrap Up

March 29th, 2009 · No Comments · Doc Hollywood

1) The most delicious piece of information I’ve heard in a long time. Calps interested in the Kentucky job?* Isn’t their some equation for awesomeness that goes something like this:
old Pitino job + potential Calipari job = cross-promotion king of basketball frenzy super basketball empire of doom
I surely hope this happens. I can see [...]

Praise Be!

March 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Doc Hollywood

After Nova took down the Pittsburgh Catamounts or Steelers or whatever they are called I, Doc Hollywood, jumped out of last place in my NCAA pool! I am now fourth from last. I can create some real havoc if UNC and Louisville win tomorrow.
Thank god I didn’t pick Memphis, Kansas, or Pittsburgh to win. Suckers.

New Favorite Sports Commentator: Gus Johnson

March 27th, 2009 · 3 Comments · T-Willikers

That’s right. I’ve got a new favorite sportscaster. A nice gentleman named Gus. During the Michigan State-Kansas game, Gusterino said “blammo,” gruffly moaned “ooohh-yeah” several times, and told us viewers what he thought was probably going on inside Lupe Izzo’s head during the waning moments of the game. He also stepped [...]

Clockwork Devil Blue

March 27th, 2009 · No Comments · Doc Hollywood

Like a reliable clock, the Duke Blue Devils know when it’s time to exit the tournament. Last night a Villanova squad (who I picked to go to the Final 4) took it to the Dukies and beat them for the first time in 50 years. I am pretty sure something goes off in their heads [...]

Lives of the Rich and Shameless?

March 25th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Doc Hollywood

So, this story is funny. Okay, not so funny. Apparently Vanessa Bryant, if the veracity of this story holds up, isn’t such a nice person. My skeptical world view holds that this is true:
Rich person + power over paid subordinate = super evil person
Of course, this could also be a calculated money grab by this [...]

National Fantasy League

March 25th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Ground Possum

Upon hearing the news that the NFL season is almost assuredly going to expand to 17-8 games, I did not think of the possible problems with player injuries or conditioning; I did not think of the elimination of meaningless pre-season games or the financial windfall the extra games represent for the “struglling” NFL; no, my [...]

My Sweet 16 Sucks, Elways Gets Ahistorical, Andrews "Honored," Schilling Retires

March 23rd, 2009 · 1 Comment · Doc Hollywood

1. My backet this year sucks major dingo balls. Apparently the dingo not only took my baby, but also my common sense. Have this many 1-3 seeds ever made it this far? It was a bad year to pick a lot of upsets. No Cinderellas unless you count that underachieving Arizona squad with 3 potential [...]
