Today's Moment of Zen: Karl Malone on Aliens

A long time ago back in the year of 1999 before the Millenium; the Man Show on Comedy Central was one of the few shows dedicated to men.It starred Jimmy Kimmel (before his ABC talk show) and Adam Carolla where they joked about juggies, porn stars, dumb guys, beer, and Utah Jazz forward Karl Malone.Here is one of my personal favorite sketches where Jimmy Kimmel plays Karl Malone and talks about Alie...

Cassel and Vrabel Traded to Chiefs for Second Rounder, Being a Patriot Apparently No Longer Cool

Yesterday the Denver Broncos signed Jabar Gaffney and Lonnie Paxton away from the Patriots among their 6 signings. Today more Patriots are expected to flee the coop, with Mike Vrabel and Karaoke Legend Matt Cassel both being traded to the Kansas City Chiefs for their 2009 second round pick.Cassel I certainly saw getting traded, as having $25-30 million...

Finally, the NBA did something right

Usually when the NBA makes decisions, they tend to be the wrong decisions. Most teams currently need to be bail-out and the league has a growing concussion problem.However Dwayne Wade's decorative band-aids seem to be topping the list at the moment of the most important things that the NBA has to deal with. Wade's decorative band-aids have not been...

President Obama did get great seats...

If I think about this for a second, I do not remember the last time that a US president attend a NBA regular season game.However Commander-in-Chief Barack Obama attended the Wizards home game against his hometown team, the Chicago Bulls. Obama invited the Bulls to the White House earlier and it figures that D.C.'s team was a little peeved by that.The Wiz Kids blew out the Bulls, 113-90.(Courtesy of NESW Spor...

I have been reading The Invasion of Mississippi by Earl Lively, Jr., put out in 1963 by the John Birch Society. It is a one-sided account of the southern response to the integration of the University of Mississippi. The following excerpts show how the Kennedy administration was viewed by the Right in those days (perhaps similar to how they view the Obama administration today?)If anyone is oppressed in the South today, it is the white man. His laws are violated and struck down by edicts of a judicial oligarchy, his rights are trampled, and his land...

Denver Broncos apparently care about winning more than 8 games, sign 6 solid players

What do you do if you recently cut a bunch of players and freed up about $30 million in cap space? Well hopefully you spend some of it.Well the Denver Broncos spent a lot of it on the first day of free agency, signing RBs J.J. Arrington and Correll Buckhalter, LS Lonnie Paxton, WR Jabar Gaffney and Safeties Brian Dawkins and Renaldo Hill. As a Patriots...

Today's Moment of Zen: "Play of the Decade"

Ah, 1994. The memories seem to fly back to everyone who lived in it. There was a time before Kevin Garnett that the Minnesota Timberwolves had a slam dunk champion and budding star in Isaiah "J.R." Rider.However his most memorable play came from a regular season game against the Sacramento Kings when he took a pass that was overthrown, and threw the ball behind his head for a three point shot.Hey look, an Olden Polynice sighti...

Kellen Winslow is a Tampa Bay Buccaneer

The Cleveland Browns traded away Pro Bowl TE Kellen Winslow today to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The picks have not yet been revealed, but it's an interesting trade given Winslow's high potential. As much as his injuries and disgruntled behavior have plagued this franchise, he was still a favorite target in the Browns passing game and now leaves Steve Heiden as the number one TE for the Browns.In side news, Fred Taylor is officially a New England Patriot. I'm happy, though I've heard that the Patriots may consider cutting fan favorite Kevin Faulk...

In Memoriam: Johnny "Red" Kerr 1932-2009

We have some sad news to report at Outside the Boxscore, former Chicago Bulls coach and broadcaster Johnny "Red" Kerr has passed away at the age of 76 after a battle with prostate cancer.Kerr was the Bulls head coach from 1966-1968 and then served as the color commentator for the 1975-2008. He truly was a legend among broadcasters and for those Bulls fan who grew up during the Jordan era in the '90s, he was one of the major voices of it.Only a few weeks in the past on February 10th, 2009 was Johnny "Red" Kerr day in Chicago and the Bulls honored...

Nebraska chokes, +1 for Chappelle's Show reference

For those of you who did not get to see the Texas A&M and Nebraska game on Tuesday, he is the final six minutes where Nebraska blows a seven point lead and makes a myriad of mistakes near the end.However, the real reason why this video is up is the comment made by color commentator Doug Gottlieb who drops the "Game Blouses" at the 8:15 mark.Most of you probably know that it was a Chappelle's Show reference from the Charlie Murphy stories about Prince.

Towel-Gate in Detroit--Update

The Detroit Pistons have slowly been falling off the map of the Eastern Conference playoff race and now they will be without Rasheed Wallace for their upcoming game against the Orlando Magic.In the Pistons loss last night against the New Orleans Hornets, Wallace received a technical foul and then was ejected after he threw a towel that a ballboy gave him into the stands.It's "Rasheed being Rasheed." To quickly switch to the Pistons woes, they have lost eight straight and currently stand 7th in playoff seeding in the East. Could they miss the playoffs?...

Today's Moment of Zen: NHL's first ever kick assist...almost

Usually when I post something here dealing with the NHL, the most likely reason is that it is either a bizzare highlight or a goal by Alexander Ovechkin.In a game between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Vancouver Canucks from last Saturday, Toronto's Dominic Moore had a break-away opportunity to score. The only problem is that his stick broke from the previous play.He decided to use some heads up thinking and use his skate to direct the puck to a team-mate. Very sadly, a save by goaltender Roberto Louongo ended the play as the Canucks ended up...

Buccaneers Lose Minds, Cut Derrick Brooks

Today the Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut LB Derrick Brooks, RB Warrick Dunn, WRs Joey Galloway and Ike Hilliard, and LB Cato June.Galloway sure, he was injured basically all last year and did nothing. Hilliard and Dunn are nice pieces, but don't do nearly what they used to, though I'm sure Dunn will garner some interest in free agency. And June was decent for a LB, but guys like Quincy Black and Gerald Hayes might be able to replace him.But cutting Derrick Brooks? The team claims the decision was made, as with Dunn, Hilliard, and Galloway, to get...

Damon Huard, Several More Impressive Guys Cut

Yesterday, the Chiefs cut CB Patrick Surtain, LB Donnie Edwards, QB Damon Huard, and waived TE Michael Merritt. Most of these moves were expected, but they saved the team at leats about $10 million in cap room, mostly thanks to Surtain and Edwards.Both Surtain and Edwards were stars were the team they played for prior to the Chiefs, but both of them had more recently battled injuries and age to the tune of lesser performance. They'll both certainly join another team next season, but not for anywhere near last year's price.As far as Huard, aside...

Today's Moment of Zen: Rich Eisen runs the 40-yard dash

With the combine winding down, Rich Eisen of the NFL network decided to take his customary chance to run the 40-yard dash.Eisen eventually clocked in at a pedestrian 6.34 but that was in a suit after working for four hours. (I got to give him some credit at least.)However the funniest part was when the NFL Network staffers super-imposed combine clips of 40-yard dash times with Rich Eisen. Is he faster than B.J Ra...

Anderson Varejao was sitting right next to him, then it happened.Varejao "acted" more than on any flop of his career. The smile from Lebron just sealed it.

Devin Harris pulls out a miracle

The game last night between the New Jersey Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers appeared to be a road win for the 76ers by the score of 96-95.

However Nets point guard Devin Harris pulled out a half-court buzzer-beater for the ages.Harris ended the game with 39 points in the Nets 98-96 victory. The shot itself looked damn near impossible in less than two seconds but the replays all show that the ball is out of Harris's hands after the shot.That play is almost reminisce of Milt...

Today's Moment of Zen: "Ram It"

Maybe, they could have thought of the possible ramifications and possible double entandras in their music video.Oh well, here it is and remember, "I like to ram it as you can see, nobody likes ramming it more than m...

Fred Taylor - Future New England Patriot?

We already covered that Fred Taylor was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, today NFL.com reported that he is visiting the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday and the New England Patriots on Wednesday. And as a Patriots fan, I could not be more hopeful/excited.For one, I don't think the Bills will sign Taylor. I think he'd play well for them, but Marshawn "Beast Mode" Lynch and his above Ghost Riding Skills won't be denied the ball, even if he can't stay out of legal trouble. And the Bills already have a solid backup in Fred Jackson, who does a...

Rich Eisen is smarter than an NFL combiner.....

Ah, the glory of the NFL combine. The 40-times, the players who do not show up on schedule, and the late-rounders who upgrade themselves from 6th round pick to a 4th round pick.However, Rich Eisen of the NFL Network decided to see if he was smarter than an NFL player at the combine by taking the infamous wonderlic test.The wonderlic test is a fifty question test used to check the players intellect. Only one NFL player Harvard's own Pat McInally have scored perfectly on the test. Could Eisen be the second? Watch the video and see.(Courtesy of Awful...

Combine Casualties

I always thought of the NFL Combine as a time of hope. All of these players come out and try to show their best, hoping to get drafted by a decent team, or even at all in the case of some players. This year, however, has been different, as all sorts of players are having issues with injuries and the like, preventing them from showing much of anything to anyone. These include:- USC LB Rey Maualuga came up limping at the end of his 40 yard dash. He'll still likely be drafted very high anyways though, given his high level of play, extreme tenacity,...
