Michael Vicks “Other” Items

Friday, January 19th, 2007

Michael Vick occupies rare space. Usually reserved for only the most incompetent people, Vick is now Chairman of the Board of Stupid. Reflecting on Ron Mexico got The Critic to thinking of the books Vick takes aboard a plane:

David Beckham Blows

Sunday, January 14th, 2007

David Beckham bends it. Or he used to until he became old and slow. Now he’s tricking it. Or rather tricking MLS fans into believing his presence on the field/pitch will elevate soccer as a sport in America.
Pele, the Brazilian soccer genius, played in the states at the end of his career and in soccer [...]

Three Blind Mice

Thursday, December 28th, 2006

Jason Kidd was fined $20,000 by the NBA on Wednesday for a post game rant in which he referred to officials Jim Clark, Tom Washington and Eric Lewis as the “three blind mice”. That is funny and clever, I have not heard it before. It’s like the nursery rhyme where the refs are blind like [...]

The Blame Game

Tuesday, December 19th, 2006

George Karl and Isiah Thomas already had a tense relationship over the way Larry Brown was fired by the Knicks, considering Karl and Brown’s close friendship. So, after what went down Saturday night at MSG, Coach Karl was pissed. He called out Thomas for instigating the brawl between the Knicks and the Nuggets, calling him [...]

On Guard!

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

The fact that this is actually “news” makes my brain bleed.
Wayne Rooney nearly died while watching the Knicks play the Celtics at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.
First thing’s first. Who the hell is Wayne Rooney? For the 90% of you that don’t give a crap about soccer, he plays for the Premiership’s Manchester United.
Second, [...]

Carlisle Banishes Jackson

Monday, December 11th, 2006

The Pacers announced Monday that Stephen Jackson has been suspended for Monday night’s game against the Bulls “for conduct detrimental to the team” during last weekend’s game in Cleveland.
Late in the second quarter Saturday, Coach Carlisle pulled Jackson and the two had words. Jackson then challenged Carlisle to a duel, but Rick was too much [...]

Balls and Fouls

Thursday, December 7th, 2006

Phoenix Suns guard Steve Nash, the dorkiest MVP ever, recently met with NBA players’ union officials with band-aids on his hands to discuss his owies. As you might have already heard, the new animal-friendly, synthetic ball, which was introduced by the league after pleas from PETA, apparently slices the crap out of players’ hands. There [...]

Pusey Linebacker Hates Last Name and Deadspin

Tuesday, December 5th, 2006

It’s a treat to see stupidity in action. Four workers changing a light bulb, the offensive game-plan of the Oakland Raiders or a man named Pusey picking a fight with Deadspin (Note to Pusey: Never pick fights with people who write). Lucious Pusey is a linebacker at some obscure college where English proficiency isn’t required [...]
