Cheez Doodle Dust and Chattering Classes

April 28th, 2008 by Tuffy

From Adrian Wojnarowski’s column at Yahoo! Sports:

Whatever (Josh) Howard’s take (on marijuana use in the NBA), he didn’t need to breathe life into a week-old newspaper story that no one noticed by volunteering to on the radio and make matters worse within hours of Game 3. Of course, one of ESPN’s NBA house organs was calling the game, chastising Howard for dragging other NBA players into the story.

Quite frankly, I love what he’s done here.

(Okay, mostly taking two days off.  Mostly.)

This wager will be major!

March 15th, 2008 by Tuffy

Against my better judgment and the judgment of my lawyers, I’ve gone and Booked It at The Basketball Jones tonight. If I succeed in my pick, I pick tomorrow and again until I finally pick incorrectly. Since it’s my first time Booking, I asked for some help from a friend.

Wish me luck!

AP Writers with a Sense of Humor

February 28th, 2008 by Tuffy

Please to be enjoying an AP writer with likely Cleveland ties working the long season in his or her own way, thankyouverymuch:

“I’m happy with (the trade to the Bulls),” (Larry Hughes) said. “We did a lot of winning in Cleveland and I gained a lot of good experience, but I was definitely ready for a change. I like the position I’m in now.”

Yes, it is indeed better to exchange all that winning experience for a new position.

Pacers guard Travis Diener wasn’t surprised by Hughes’ big night.

“He’s a good player,” Diener said. “There’s a reason he has a big contract. They don’t just throw money away to (bad) players.”

Please excuse Travis; the Pacers haven’t played the Knicks since February 6th.

Mike Dunleavy had 25 points, Diener scored 22 and Troy Murphy chipped in 19…

Hahahahhahahaahhaha… that’s great. How ridiculous would it really be if… oh. Really? Wow. Maybe there is just corn in Indiana.

Big Baby Vogue

February 10th, 2008 by Tuffy

C’mon, ABC. Clearly, Glen Davis was having a pretty serious allergy attack that day. Why not let him try again? Clearly, he knows how to pose for a picture:

Even a casual photo would be better:

After all, you don’t want to make him mad. It takes a lot to stop him.

NBA Trade Deadline Ideas (Early!)

February 8th, 2008 by Tuffy

Today in Tuffy History: I make trade suggestions for every NBA team. Most of them will probably bring federal investigations or, worse, the ire of David Stern. That’s how you know they’re good!

Also, tune into Treehouse Fort tonight to how Matt from Blog-a-Bull reacts to my trade ideas and the NBA season thus far. (Don’t tell him, but it’s actually an intervention.)

Sports for Most Palates Tonight

February 6th, 2008 by Tuffy

Tonight is a great night in the Midwest and East to curl up in bed with a good contest of wills. Thankfully, there’s something for most everyone tonight:

Duke v North Carolina - Part of this may be nostalgia, but I still get excited about this contest every year. As much as I fight the tyranny of the false friction, the old saying truly applies her: these two teams jus’ plain don’t like each other. Also, Dickie V’s back, baby! (9 ET, ESPN)

US v Mexico - However, these two teams hate each other. Or, more accurately, Mexico soccer fans would like the US dead by dawn through the most violent means possible. US players and fans are generally befuddled and bruised by batteries. I predict at least one red card issued in Houston tonight. Also, Jozy’s here, baby! (9 ET, ESPN2 & Univision; ignore the ESPN2 listing that says it’s a replay of women’s soccer from 2007)

There’s also a full slate of NBA games and a few NHL games. What are you watching tonight as you hang out between the Super Bowl and pitchers and catchers reporting? (For the purposes of discussion, I’ve already assumed you’re watching American Idol at 8 ET.)
