I laugh doubly hard when he throws a pudding at Carl and Burns gets pissed, helping lead Carl to the eye wash station.

When I was growing up, the Jets were (marginally) better than the Giants, so that’s who I latched on to. Kind of out of step with my other teams (Knicks and Yankees, usually Giants come next, and Rangers if you follow hockey), but whatever. I have a lot of love for the Giants though since they ripped the heart out of…

In all honesty, it’s probably because the majority of my NBA game attendance has been at MSG. I don’t mean to sound like some jerk New Yorker (particularly since I’m from Jersey), but MSG really is a different kind of arena, and watching events there is a unique thing. Visiting teams and all-stars get up for games…

Eh, I dunno. I know it doesn’t matter to everyone, but I enjoy being able to see Steph Curry, LeBron, Durant, etc. in person. “Son, let me tell you about the time I watched Russell Westbrook on TV” doesn’t really have the same punch to it. Plus, I already have League Pass so I can watch the Knicks, because I’m a…

I left the game with just under 4 minutes to go because the Sixers were down 13. This headline almost gave me a heart attack until I realized what you were doing. Before anyone calls me out for leaving a game early, I’m not a Sixers fan. I just live in the area and have season tickets because two seats for less than…

I read these lyrics while listening to the song...and teared up.

FWIW, if you search for “Star Wars anti-cheese” on YouTube, there’s versions of the prequels that were edited to remove all of the silliness and eye-roll inducing lines and scenes but still keep the story in tact. Just watched them myself, and its actually interesting to see just how much is salvageable. About 20…

Went to make my drummer in Rock Band 4 and was surprised that there wasn’t an afro option...for about three seconds, and then I remembered “oh yeah, this isn’t an NBA game, of course there’s no afro option.” It’s really an embarrassment to the industry.

Dude’s name is Bernard...

This is, hands down, the burn of the year...though this is pretty stiff competition in its own right:

Of all the stuff announced today, I’m happiest about this feature. I moved a few months ago and opted for some basic, no frills cable boxes to save some cash, but I sorely miss the ability to pause a show or rewind a play when watching sports. Microsoft adding this feature to Xbox is really great. Now I’m just…

Other than not being able to two-finger scroll with my touchpad anywhere at all (it seems like the drivers are slow to come out), everything seems fine.

That game was so good that I played through 23 seasons in franchise mode, and I played every single game.

Melo is many things: lazy on defense (no citation necessary), wannabe entrepreneur, bad at trash talking. Soft is not one of those things, not when he’s known mainly for a healthy brand of bully ball. Yea, he doesn’t have a killer instinct at all times, but its’ not because he’s soft.

Please elaborate.

Wait, what? Where in the room?

The one thing that was nice about the Fox coverage was their microphones catching player chatter on the greens. It was pretty neat to hear them talk about strategy and deal with decorum the same way us schlubs do on the weekends.

Joe Buck also acted as though Jason Day is an unknown who finally had his breakout round. The guy has been finishing well at majors consistently for the past three years.

This type of behavior bugs the hell out of me. Why not just play the game until your core finally reaches zero, what point is there in giving up early, especially considering that this game has so much rubberbanding and comebacks happen fairly frequently?

I also really want the Knicks to hire him, but I don’t think Phil Jackson would do Derek Fisher like that, unfortunately.
