The obligatory and homeriffic Blake Griffin article from Ed

I’ve waited roughly seven months to really write anything about the homie Blake Austin Griffin. There was only one post that vaguely dealt with the young man and truthfully, it didn’t have as much to do with him as it did for who the victim was. As you may have figured out by being a long-time reader of this site, following me on twitter or facebook, or just knowing me in real life, you’d know that there might not be a bigger Blake Griffin Stanley than Ed. the III.

However, the narrative that has been spun about Blake Griffin is one that I’ve waited for seven months to react on. The physical beastitude that Blake has displayed in his “rookie” season has been nothing short of absurd. The 40″ vertical, the willingness to rebound, and the sincere desire to dunk on people at will has made for awesome television. The Clippers have essentially become must-see television. Which has given me cause for concern. … Continue Reading

Dwight Howard has finally turned into a grown man

The first go ’round, it wasn’t even his fault. When the 2004 draft came around, it was reminiscent of the Manning vs. Leaf draft back in 1998. Two men at the top of their class, both players play a position which is the foundation of the team, and more importantly they were players that were as tough to project their future value as any we’d seen in recent memory.

Emeka Okafor vs. Dwight Howard.

Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Can’t Lose – Friday Night Lights…

There is a general perception about yours truly that I feel the need to clarify. When I watch television, my remote is not actually stuck on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPN News, ESPNU, ESPN The Ocho, The “NFL-NBA-MLB-NHL” Network-TV channel, or any FOX Sports Regional channel. In my current DVR rotation is Treme, Tosh.O, Holmes with Homes, Real Estate Intervention (ole buddy goes hard on those sellers man), Real Time with Bill Maher, and of course Robot Chicken.

The Free Steve Nash All-Stars

The NBA is a golden era of young talent. Point guards are aplenty, there are phenomenal swingmen who are as athletic as they come, and the big men in the league are versatile in their craft.

However, it saddens me to see some of the stars of yesteryear fade to black on some of these horrible teams even though we know that they’ve still got some juice in them. They need to be unshackled from this oppressive bondage that is horrible basketball teams. Some of these GM’s are hanging onto these guys like they are going to really build around them. Do these people think we’re stupid? Don’t insult my intelligence, you neanderthal.

Please trade these people, immediately. … Continue Reading

The Best NFL teams that never were…

As a young child I fondly remember the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills.

For starters, they were the livest team ever on Tecmo Super Bowl. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, James Lofton, Bruce Smith, Darryl Talley, Cornelius Thomas, etc. I mean, they were unfair. For some other more obvious reasons, I also remember the 1990-1993 Buffalo Bills because for four consecutive years they “attended” the Super Bowl. We all remember the skull-drugging escapades that the Bills were on the wrong side of. We remember “Wide Right”. We remember Thurman Thomas losing his helmet. We remember the Cowboys putting a 35-piece on ‘em.
