In a disappointing finding, scientists have come to the conclusion that what appeared to be the first documented black hole in the history of Earth, was in actuality, Ron Artest.
The black hole, which was first sighted in early November, only seemed to take place when the Lakers had the ball and appeared to be wearing a jersey with the number “37” on it.
“I can’t explain it,” said Lakers superstar Kobe ...
What the NBA Playoffs Will Bring Us For the Next Two Months
Posted: 26th April 2010 by Nick Cafferky in NBA
After one week, the NBA Playoffs are in full-swing, so naturally, the fan base of the league just increased about 200 percent.
The regular season is just too long, and considering that we have only eliminated 16 teams and still have over two months of basketball left, the fans just tuning in didn’t miss much.
For those of you that are indeed just starting to pay attention, there isn’t much you missed.

2010 NFL Draft Satire: St. Louis Rams Shock NFL by Trying to Draft Asomugha
Posted: 25th April 2010 by Nick Cafferky in NFL
With the first overall pick on Thursday night, the St. Louis Rams shocked the sports world when they decided not to draft quarterback Sam Bradford, but instead take Oakland Raiders cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha.
“We were looking for a pick that was certain to make an impact for a number of years,” Rams GM Bill Devaney said. “The way I see it, the guy we just drafted has already established himself as ...
With Campbell, Dan Snyder Continues To Show He Has No Class
Posted: 14th April 2010 by Nick Cafferky in NFL
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, Dan Snyder is probably the worst person in sports. Not as an owner, but he is actually the most despicable human being that has to do with sports in America.
As I die-hard Redskins fan, I dislike him for many reasons including him trying to treat the ‘Skins as his own fantasy football team/hobby; however, the way he handled the trade for ...
The Baltimore Orioles: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly
Posted: 12th April 2010 by Nick Cafferky in MLB
At 1-5, the Orioles haven’t exactly started the season with the excitement that many fans were hoping for.
Not only is the record a bit troubling, but the team Baltimore fans have tuned in to watch seems to be almost the polar opposite of what they expected.
That being said, I present to you the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Orioles first six games.
The Good: The Starting Pitching
If there ...
For the last two years, the Baltimore Orioles relied on George Sherrill to close games for them.
Now, the Orioles look to another lefty, Mike Gonzalez, to fill that role.
Unfortunately, for the health of Orioles’ fans, the two might be a little too similar.
While effective, Sherrill was perpetually on the brink of giving fans preemptive heart attacks and was cold-heartedly cruel with the way he somehow seemed to intentionally get into trouble, ...
Just in case you didn’t already know, Albert Pujols is good.
Year after year, Pujols enters his season with outrageous talk of obtaining the Triple Crown, and every year, he delivers with numbers that are almost comical.
This year’s Opening Day was no exception. The Triple Crown seems to be in play, and Pujols did nothing to make you think otherwise.
The big man went 4-for 5-with two home runs and three RBI.
The ...
Julio Lugo Adds Much-Needed Depth to Baltimore Orioles’ Infield
Posted: 1st April 2010 by Nick Cafferky in MLB
The Baltimore Orioles made what is probably the team’s final transaction before the regular season kicks off by acquiring veteran utility man Julio Lugo from the St. Louis Cardinals this morning.
The Orioles seemingly got him for nothing, as they will send the Cards either cash or the ever-so-specific "player to be named later."
While there are some grumblings about bringing in an over-the-hump shortstop to take the utility role from a ...
To the casual baseball fan, I guarantee this looks comically stupid; however, knowledgeable ones won’t be so quick to mock this. While the Orioles appear to be at least a year away from contention, stranger things have happened, right?
Look at the 2008 Tampa Bay Rays. People knew that they could be on the cusp of success, but no one thought they were going to be what they were in ...
Well, here I am crawling to the finish line of MLB predictions and this series ends with a division that will be as competitive from top to bottom as any in sports.
One analyst’s favorite to win the division could be another’s prediction to be fourth; it is that competitive. That being said, here is my breakdown of the final five teams in baseball.
Colorado Rockies:
The Colorado Rockies have a lineup that ...
