• Saint Pablo

    I had only seen Kanye West live once before. It was back in 2011 when he performed at the Tacoma Dome with Jay-Z as part of the Watch The Throne tour. The highlight of the evening was Kanye yelling “again” after each completion of N****s in Paris, which the duo went on to play 6 or 7 times in a row. The lowlight came when someone near the stage threw a lanyard (?)…

  • The Dilemma

    Basketball is a business. Yes, I know it sounds like I’m regurgitating a tired basketball cliche but hear me out. At the time of this writing the Boston Celtics are 52-29, 1 game ahead of the Cleveland Cavaliers for the 1 seed; something I absolutely did not see coming. Isaiah Thomas, traded to Boston from Phoenix, has quickly ascended to lead dawg and go-to, crunch-time scorer for the C’s, while…

  • The Beginning

    Hear Ye, Hear Ye! The National Basketball Association is back! Will LeBron James make it to his improbable 7th straight NBA Finals? Can the 76ers finally break the 20 wins barrier? Is Mike D’Antoni going to live up to his offensive guru status and mold James Harden into a PG? Which young star (Karl Anthony-Towns, Kristaps Porzingis, Devin Booker, D’Angelo Russell, etc) will take the next evolutionary step and become a superstar? Did…

  • Stakes

    These are the kind of stakes which I have no control over, yet care so deeply about. I’m taking about what’s at stake for the University of Washington Huskies, Seattle Mariners, Seahawks and Sounders this weekend. Let’s start in chronological order. Chris Petersen and his Dawgs endured a tough trip to the desert last weekend. Arizona’s back-up QB, Brandon Dawkins, was able to run over the Dawgs stingy D. I…

  • Fantasy Friday: Week 3

    Ya boy went 3-0 in Week 2! Special shout-out to Isaiah Crowell (20 points), Greg Olsen (18 points), Cairo Santos (15 points), DeAngelo Williams (18 points), Julio Jones (16 points), Philip Rivers (23 points), Kelvin Benjamin (22 points), Cardinals D/ST (22 points) and Graham Gano (18 points). Injuries have started to drastically affect my teams. Adrian Peterson has a torn meniscus, which requires three-to-four months of rehabilitation, but since he’s a…

  • 2016 NFL Predictions

    The NFL is finally back baby! WOOOOOO! I’m only going to predict place within division, not full record, because I decided to do this last minute (like a dummy) and have the pleasure of attending a friend’s wedding this weekend. I’ll also throw up my AFC & NFC champion picks and a Super Bowl pick. (Hint, I’m going to be a huge homer) AFC East New England Patriots New York…

  • Fantasy Friday: Week 2

    Week 1 didn’t go as well as I hoped. 95 until infinity (0-1) This was, by far, my worst showing of the week. My team only scored 59 points. Thanks Adrian Peterson (3 points), Dez Bryant (0 points) and Brandon Marshall (3 points). These were 3 of my first 4 picks and somehow they could only mustered 6 points combined. I also made the mistake of playing Frank Gore (6…

  • The Hottest of Takes

    Kentucky and Washington were the only 2 programs to have multiple players taken in the 1st round of the 2016 NBA Draft. John Calipari & Kentucky sent G Jamal Murray (Denver Nuggets, 7th) F/C Skal Labissiere (Phoenix Suns, 28th), while Lorenzo Romar & the University of Washington sent Marquese Chriss (Phoenix Suns, 8th) and DeJounte Murray (San Antonio Spurs, 29th). Oddly enough, both Kentucky players went a pick before the…

  • 10 Players To Watch This College Football Season

    I love college footballs, however, it’s impossible to keep up with all 128 FBS football programs. I think my head would explode. I try my best to keep up to date with all the Pac-12 teams because my squad, the University of Washington Huskies, reside in that conference, yet I find myself failing more often than not. Although, I do have a handful of players across America I will be…

  • Fantasy Football 2016: Mock 2

    Even though my last team had a few holes in it, I really liked most of my picks. Let’s see if I can recreate some of that magic. For this mock draft I will be selecting 6th out of 10. Round 1 (6th Pick), Ezekiel Elliott (RB)-I’ve had awful luck picking rookie RB’s. Last season, I took Melvin Gordon with a high pick and damn, that was a bad choice.…
