It's Just Manny being Manny!

My dude Manuel, (Yeah, we're cool like that) turned down an offer from the L.A. Dodgers for $45 million for two years. Yankee fans despise him, Red Sox nation turned their backs on him, and to me, he's the most balllllllin player in the game today. Let's keep it real. Ask any pitcher in the league today. Bases are loaded and there's two outs. Ask them who wouldn't they want to face? Manny's name would probably be coming out 97% of the time. He'll come to the plate, and will most likely go yard on you. Done son!

I'm actually that he turned down the Dodgers offer. If there's any other teams that I hate in baseball besides the Yanks and Phillies, it's every Cali team in the game. Why? I don't know. Why the fuck's the sky blue? How they going to low ball him after all he's done for that team? Call me a sack rider, fanboy, or whatever the hell you want. Manny deserves to see that cashflow mayne. Especially after his performance with the Dodgers last season. It's whatever though, my dude will get paid and will be one of the few progressing during this recession. (Along with Nmandi Asomugha)

Been a fan of Manny since the days the Red Sox won the World Series and he stayed being the Yankee killer. Fuck Big Papi. Manny's been doing that shit way before that fat boy got there.

Manny to the Mets? I mean the Jets have a better chance of winning 10-12 games next year than this actually happening, but I can dream though right? Make it happen Omar. Break open that war chest baby!

-Jumpoff J ova and out!

The True Jets Fan...

So if you're a Jets fan, it was basically a holiday for you yesterday. We re-signed Brandon Moore, we signed ILB Bart Scott, and traded for our #2 CB Lito Sheppard. Today we're likely to sign a few more soon to be ex-Ravens, and we still have the draft to load up on more talent. So as I'm telling my dad about all of the signings and trades, I say "I gotta be honest dad...with decent QB play this year I can see this team winning 10-12 games"...silence on the other end of the phone...then a little chuckle...a chuckle back, then a louder laugh, and a louder laugh back...finally we were both HYSTERICALLY laughing...we realized that I actually said the JETS could win 10-12 games next season! Now if you're a fan of the franchise, you will probably understand the laughing...if you're not a fan...well Just wait till free agency starts in 2010...

Bart effin Scott

We got em!!!!!!!!!!

Wow.. What a day it was. I am getting off the bus when i get a text from a friend (Big Joe). He is telling me that our beloved Jets got Bart Scott. Im ecstatic. I walk into work with a certain swagger today, like i fucking run shit (i clearly dont). I tell Eric. He then finds the link. Thanks nationalfootballpost.com next time i need information on a signing, I will be sure never to visit your site. We are both pumped, and are looking on yoonew.com for 2010 Super Bowl tickets.

Fast forward 4 hours. I am reading my favorite Jets message board Jetnation.com, and i see people posting that we dont have him, ant the Ravens have offered more money then we did. I am thinkin to myself "well, i expected this, i am a jets fan". Whatever, im still pissed. As im leaving work, I hear Bart Scott is a plane back to Baltimore. I get on the bus pissssssssssssssssssed.

I get home, I get a call from Mikey Fells and he tells me, "Bart Scott baby". I go "we signed him?" He tells me yes, and i am excited. I turn on my newly acquired NFL Network (thanks FioS), and see Bart Scott 6years/48 million bones. So currently, if you are asking what im doing, my answer is "Walking around like I run shit."

WHATS GOOD SON?

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets ALL DAYYYYYYYYYYYYY

PS. Jets are pursuing Corey Ivy, and expect Jim Leohnard to sign tomorrow, and trade for Lito Sheppard

Cal State Northridge- 80 Denver- 53

So I assume you're wondering why in the hell I would choose such a random college basketball game to blog about. Even though this game has no significant meaning to me personally, it does to one of the bloggers here. (whom shall remain nameless)

Here's some background in regards this game. At the time, both teams had a whopping total of 2 wins in 12 games combined! Denver was 1-6 and CSN was 1-6. I believe Denver was getting 13 and a half points in Vegas. So who in the world would go about betting on this game? Yeeeuupp, only the trio would. According to one of the trios close associates, this was a bet we just had to take. Apparently, a friend of a friend had a bite on this game and "anonymous" figured, "$20, why the hell not, let's put it on Denver to win!"

The final score explains it all. I guess you wouldn't call this case a nightmare, since the dudes were up so much money with their bookie. And usually I never laugh when people lose bets. But come on man... DAMN! Denver vs. Cal State Northridge? LOL!

FTL!

A Marty Party!!

This week has marked the return of 2 of the finest athletes in their respective sports. Tiger Woods hit the links, and Martin Brodeur returned in between the pipes. I was lucky enough to witness 1 live, and that was King Martys return to the swamp.

I would say Brodeur was in rare form tonight, but who am i kidding? Yea he had a shutout, but those arent rare for him. It was his 99th career shutout, and he is only 6 wins away from becoming the all time winningest goalie in NHL history.

Devils won 4-0 with goals from Jamie L, Patty Elias, ZP9, and Travis Zajac. Currently they are sitting in 3rd place in the East, while the crappy Rangers are in 7th..

PS. What a difference a day makes. Last night i was effin pissed off with that Hofstra debacle, now im singing the praises of the worlds best hockey team.

Richmond in 8.

Please change the sheets. We just shit the bed.

This is why our blog has the word nightmare in the title.

Hofstra goes down to the A-T-L to face Georgia State. With the CAA standings bunched tighter then a clown car, Hofstra was in need of a win. Coming out on top tonight, would have set us up for prime position for the tourney next weekend. Hofstra came into action in 5th place. Drexel, same record and all, has the tiebreaker over Hofstra, so they entered tonight in the 4th spot. Seeds 1-4 get a bye in the first round. Drexel was facing a tough team in Northeastern tonight, and im sure everyone on the Pride knew that it would be a tough game for them.(maybe Cornelius Vines was'nt aware, he isnt aware of anything actually. I think he is considered a fuckin idiot by State Governments in every state minus Mass. (mass is all fucking idiots).

Hofstra was down 19 at the half, and Drexel was down 2. At this point im thinking, I hate sports.

Enter Old Dominion. They are taking care of business, like most teams do. Yes, Hofstra has the tiebreaker over them, but when they win, and we get dick slapped, that tie breaker is kicked the curb. They now have more wins.

Hofstra started the half on a 12-1 run, but then got taken to the wood shed the rest of the game. We absolutely sucked. In fact, we sucked more then Brett Favre down the stretch.

At the completion of the night. Standings are this:

4. Old Dominion

5. Drexel

6. Hofstra

You know what though? Darren Townes didnt play tonight, and he is one of the emotional leaders on this team. That is something to look forward to in Richmond. I love that dude. (no homo).

I cant wait for Richmond, just very upset with this loss. Richmond is a greaaaaaaaaaat time. 10 days baby

See ya La La La Laveranues Coles...

So today the Jets released #87 (to my knowledge it was not because of an incident at Dillards)...I know a lot of Jets fans out there are saying to themselves this is a terrible move, and are trying to figure out why the team would do this. To you fake fans I say this...face it! Laveranues has lost more than a step over the past few years, and is no longer the WR that he once was...this move will free up some salary cap space and make the Jets even more of a player in the Free Agent market. Since I'm not all hate, I will say props to you Laveranues, you did your thing for a while as a member of the Jets, and you were one tough S.O.B.. I like what Rex Ryan and co. are doing...there is going to be a youth movement for this team, and Sexy Rexy is going to have the guys that HE wants. Yes, there is a chance that L.C. may return, but if he does it will be at a cheaper price...for now we leave our trust in Jerrico Cotchery, and a man who in my estimation is set to blow up in this league David Clowney J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets baby...

He's BAAAAAACK...

We live in New York, so when it comes to hockey we hear a lot about the Rangers, and Henrik "King" Lundqvist. Well ladies and gentlemen, the REAL king returns on Thursday night. Martin Brodeur the greatest netminder to ever lace up skates is returning to action vs. the Colorado Avalance tomorrow night at the Rock after an absence of nearly four months. His return makes the Devils who are already in first place in the Atlantic division that much scarier for the rest of the Eastern Confrence. Here is to you Marty...your great career, and the start of a push for your 4th Stanley Cup.

An A-Bomb, From A-Rod!!!!

Arod's first spring training game was a success. The big bopper hit the ball over some fencing that was set up in the outfield today, while walking twice. Multiple sources are reporting that instead of the usual cheers, people got off their butts, and stood up to give the King a standing ovation.

TOLD YA SO.

AROD FTW this year

Upset City!!!

Dejaun Blair and company go into the Dunk as number 1, and leave as number 1. That was guaranteed. Come next Monday, they will no longer be number 1 though. Providence College layed the wood to them. Knocking off the number 1 team in the country seems to be an easy feat this year. Who will be the new number 1 next week? This year i wouldnt bet on the number 1's in the tourney.

Stat of the Day: Providence beats number 1 Pittsburgh. Northeastern beat Providence who beat number 1 Pittsburgh. AKA Northeastern > Pittsburgh

Holla atcha boys from the CAA

Richmond in 11.

Losing The Dead Weight!

It took us half the season, but it appears that the Knicks are finally headed in the right direction by waiving Cancer guard Stephon Marbury. With Starbury gone, the Knicks no longer have to deal with any more drama in regards to this bum. I hope he makes the jump to Italy so that I no longer have to hear about this waste of talent for the rest of his career.

In other news, we're facing Brian's butt buddy J.J. Redick tomorrow at the Garden. Unfortunately, I'm going to be putting in another 12 hours at work and will not be able to watch the Starbury-less Knicks put a beat down on them boys from O-Town.

And they're off...and you lose...

If you're a degenerate uh I mean sports fan like myself it's one of the most recognizable places in the country. The twin spires of Churchill Downs, where the first Saturday of every May the top 3 year old horses in the country "run for the roses". Since a blog entry wouldnt be offical without a little misery...last year myself and two other buddies went to Belmont Racetrack for the Belmont Stakes, where Big Brown was supposed to be the first horse to win the triple crown since Affirmed did it in 1978. We got there at about 10am for a 6pm race, and sat in 100 degree weather for 8 hours, getting beer spilled on us, and bumped into all day. Finally the moment arrived, and Big Brown "left a big brown shit stain" as the man next to me so eloquently put it. The day was ruined, no triple crown, no money left, all we had to show for it the next day were third degree sun burns. In any case, I'm a firm believer in the "sport of kings", and will be keeping everyone updated as the Derby approaches...so far the early favorite is Old Fashioned but anyone familiar with the sport knows there is a LOOOOONG way until that Saturday...

Shake and Bake Nate!

Just a few moments ago, Nate "The Great," aka "Kryptonate," aka "All Day Nate" just made New York Knicks history dropping 41 OFF THE BENCH against the Indiana Pacers. Nate breaks the record previously held by NBA legend Bob McAdoo in 1978. And yet, it boggles my mind how this man is still warming the damn bench.... We don't need him coming off the bench. Let Larry Hughes do that shit.... Jumpoff J, over and outttt!!

Arizona State Fans Suck

Give me a break, ya'll are ranked 14th in the country. You beat unranked Arizona, and you rush the court? Act like you've been there before. I now hate your school, and will root against you throughout the tournament. You are on a 4 year ban, so i can guarantee all fans are out of the student section, before I let you back in my good graces.

Rules for court rush:
1. Beat someone better then you
2. Do it in dramatic fashion
3. Do you have Kieza dromping bombs at the buzzer? NO

Ya'll Suck. Oregon Ducks for Pac 10 Champ son..

Imagine this.....

Lebron went to college...

Watching this dude is fun. I hate the NBA, but this man is a beast. Not only is he the best player in the NBA, but he is a nice guy.

That being said. What if he went to college? I think he probably would have picked Hofstra as his final destination. Duke, Ohio State and maybe Akron would have all been in the running but, we all know ya'll cant turn down the Lions Den. Lebron get nuts before the games, very fan friendly, and always tries to get the crowd hyped the ef up before games. Thats what some schools, and NBA teams need. I hate going to NBA games, and i usually dont, but i would if this guy was on my team. Yes, Hofstras student section was the jumpoff for 3 years, but if this guy was there, we mighta blown the roof off "The Macka". These days, we are relying on Charles Jenkins aka "The Takeover" and a little Darren Townes action to get the students riled up. Which they do.

We are all witnesses.

Holla.

March Madness

This years College Basketball season, has been nothing short of phenominal. You think a team is a power house, and then next thing you know, they are losing to teams like Maryland, and Texas. With UCONN losing to Pitt on Monday night this week, we knew we would get a new number 1 come tomorrow.

Oklahoma was primed to take the number 1 spot. Enter Texas. Texas layed the wood to Oklahoma, and in the process took out Blake Griffin. So whose going to be number 1? Enter UNC. Well, UNC played earlier then Oklahoma did yesterday, but they wouldnt show up, as Maryland beat them in OT. With all the bickering going on in Maryland, you wouldnt think they would be able to pull it all together, and beat UMD, but they did.

So whose number 1? With 1,2, and 3 all losing this week, I guess for the 2nd time this season, and the 2nd time in the history of Pitt basketball, they will be holding down the top spot. Levance Fields, and Dejuan Blair are poised for a big run in the dance, lets see if history repeats itself. Or, can they hold it down? Time will tell.

PS. Great game tonight. Wake Forest takes on the Dukies baby.

Another Day, Another Hofstra Win

Yea yea yea, I bashed the Bracketbusters in my last blog entry, but today, I am happy that Hofstra won. I mean, its not like they beat Fairfield and now have a shot for an at large, but its better then losing. I didnt see the game, which kinda sucks, but my friend Mike was giving me updates as the game progressed.

I am pleased with Hofstras 19-9 record, but none of that will matter come March. Ziggy, DT, and Natty are coming on very strong towards the end of the year, and we have won 5 in a row. Now is the time to catch fire, but it must continue into Richmond.

March 6th here we come.

All Roads to Richmond!

Let it be known snitches! The terrorists WILL be in the building in Richmond baby! HU all DAY, EVERYDAY! Holla at ya boy!

Bracket-BUST!!!

So, im sitting here with my dog Willy, and 3 haters. We are watching the VCU/Nevada Bracketbuster game on ESPNU. What the fuck is this game all about? If VCU wins, are they going to be in the tourney for an at large? No. If Nevada wins, do they have a shot at an at large? Hell no. This is a ridiculous concept. VCU is a good team out of the all mighty CAA. They should be facing a team from a BCS conference, like lets say Miami, or Florida State. Those 2 teams are on the bubble, and if they lost to VCU, which they probably would have, their bracket would have truly been busted. With this current system, why should 2 mediocre mid majors play eachother? Shouldnt Davidson play Maryland, and Butler play Stanford? Thats something that should be considered for the next round of bracketbusters.

Until then, Lets go CAA.
Represent.
Currently VCU is up 64-62 under 4 minutes left in the 2nd half.

Lol @ the Rangers

Another day, another Devils victory. Zach Parise scores his 35th goal of the season, and before Martin the Magnificent returns, Kevin Weekes wins his 5th straight, this one in a shootout. They tied Washington for 2nd in the east tonight. This brings me to my next point.

So these Ranger fans always say blah blah blah the Devils have no fans. Blah blah blah, the Devils are a Mickey Mouse organization. Well, Blah blah blah, the rangers suck. Devils are up 11 points on them. When Eric and I are going to playoff hockey games, Rangers fans will be cursing and wishing they can play Devils Hockey.

Marty Brodeur comes back for the home stretch, and boy, if i was an opposing team, i would be scared of the Devils at this point.

In closing, Sorry to all the Ranger fans. Keep sticking to your no fan argument. Easier for me to get to games, and have good seats. Enjoy another staney cupless season.

aLL DaYYYYYYYYYYYYYy

WoW. What a Hofstra game tonight. So i just got back a little while ago, and it might have been the best game ive attended there. It was up and down the entire game. We blew an 8 point second half lead, and went to OT. In the OT we had a chance to win it at the buzzer, but couldnt do it. So the game went to double OT, where Hofstra finally took care of business. James Madison had all the fight in the world tonight, but couldnt finish us off.

This game had 3 standouts in my eyes, and all were huge:

Darren Townes had 15 points and 6 boards.. His heart was the thing that stood out to me though, what an effin warrior tonite.. do you baby..

Ziggy had his best game ever. 5-8 from 3 point range, and went on a personal 9-0 run.. Ive bashed him early and often, but he shut me up tonite.. hell yea ziggy..

Charles Jenkins aka "The Takeover" held his nickname up today. My dude went off for 32 points, and dropped 13 dimes..

ALL DAY BABY

H-O-F-S-T-R-A Hofstraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

WHY SO SERIOUS?!

Ok, so down at Spring Training in Port St. Lucie, Mets shortstop Jose Reyes was asked a series of questions by reporters. Among the questions asked were the recent comments made by Phillies pitcher Cole Hamels, in which he called the Mets "choke artists."

My dude Reyes responds, "We don't worry about Philly. I don't know why they worry so much about the New York Mets. They can talk about whatever they want to, because we worry about us. They are the one to win the World Series, not us, and we don't say nothing about them. We just say congratulations to the Phillies. We focus on them when we play them, but they always seem like they're talking something about us, and I don't know why."

Even though they're the champs, the Phillies apparently have nothing better to do but jock us because they want and need our attention. They even stay hating on Reyes and his home run celebrations. Of course, Reyes dusts these sack riders off his shoulder and replied, "I heard that. I don't know why they say that, because I'm not the only one pimpin' when I hit a home run. A lot of people do that. People from Philadelphia, too. They stand for a couple of seconds at home plate and nobody say nothing. So like I said, I don't know why they're so focused on us. We just worry about us." Tell us why you're mad Philly!

And yeah, the Phillies are as classy as their city.

P.S. A couple of minutes ago, THE Hofstra University Men's basketball team won their fourth straight game @ the Macka in double OT. Brian just left Hempstead, and he'll drop you a folks a bomb sometime tonight or tomorrow.

An Aaaaabomb from AaaaaaRod

So after hearing Alexander the Great today, I would like to inform all baseball fans, "Getcha Popcorn Ready". A-Rod is going to jump off this year, I think he will have his best year of his career, and the Yanks will win the World Series.

I am happy he came out and admitted he took steroids. It takes a big man to admit this, and I think the 103 players that are still unnamed should admit it as well. No one on that list is bigger then Alex, and now is the time to come out.

I dont really think its a big deal at all. For me, I look at it differently then most. I see Alex as a team player. He is willing to put his body on the line for the good of the team, which in turn, is for the good of the fan. Steroids are a killer. Alex was willing to put his body at risk for this. Yes his numbers would increase, but is that so bad? If you are a fan, wouldnt you want the best out of your players? Right or wrong. Look at the New England Cheatriots. They cheat, and people still love them.

Only time will tell. Alexander Emanuel Rodriguez is hated on in most parks as it is. This year will be no different. Im thinking that we will hear the John Sterling home run call at least 55 times this year for him. "An Aaaaabomb from AaaaaaRod"

PS. Its gross how ESPN hates on the Yankees so much.

Hi Hater, Bye Hater

Hofstra/James Madison

Showdown at the Macka tomorrow. Which Hofstra team will show up? I have been reading articles hinting at Pecora leaving after this year, so its his time to shine now. Down the stretch they come in the CAA. Which team will finish where? Hofstra is in a clusterfuck right now, and is hoping to lock up a 4 seed to get the bye in the first round of Richmond.

James Madison is a good team and has a shot to knock us off, but i think the student section will be rocking, and the Pride will be rolling. Expect a follow up after the win. Hoping to have a picture or 2, as i will be in attendance.

H-O-F-S-T-R-A Hofstraaaaaaaaa

Last All-Star Weekend Post - I Swear!

Now I know why Kobe bought the $4 million dollar ring... Shieeeetttt, I'm not going to front, I would too.. Holla!

And by the way, why the hell is he throwing up the Rocafella sign? Taking subliminal jabs at Lebron? Ohhh mainnn... NBA beef, FTW!!!

JJ Rediculous!!!!!!!

Dropping bombs at the buzzer. Our hero, JJ Redick hit an unbelievable 3 pointer tonight vs the Bobcats to send the game into Overtime. Does it get much better? He had 10 points tonight including the 3 most important. Hes a good guy, and deserves this. Just ask Erin Andrews

Yea, the picture is of him and I, whatever. Hop Off

Brett The Jet?

Yup, I said it, Brett the Jet. Most of you are probably saying "Didnt you just blog about him, saying how much you hated him?" My answer is No. I blogged about the imposter, Brett Favre. This time, I am blogging about the real Brett, Brett Ratliff. I'm sure most Jet fans are eager to jump on the ol' veteran bandwagon. "Bring in McNabb, Warner, Garcia" For once, I am not. I want to see Brett Ratliff in action.

During one of my stadium road trip events, I attended the Jets/Browns week 1 preseason game. In this game, there was a weather delay, and a Brett Favre introduction. That all hid the true beauty who was Mr. Ratliff. Towards the end of the game Ratliff got his chance, and when he did, he shined. He threw 2 touchdowns to David Clowney (love him), and looked like the real deal.

I know that this was a preseason game, but can a Jet fan get excited for once? Please? All i want is to be right on this topic.

As a Jets fan, I have grown to be numb in the January/February month. Usually April is my coming out party, telling all my friends how great they are going to be, and our draft pick is going to be a monster. This year, April came early. February is a lovely month to be talking Jets football. A year from now, i want to be telling my friends how great the Super Bowl was, and to look at all the people and scream "WHATS GOOD??????????"

Here's to 16-0

J-E-T-S Jets Jets Jets

Flavor of the Week

With the NFL Draft right around the corner, its time to think about who the unlucky rookie that the Jets will draft, and in turn ruin his career.

As an avid Jets fan, and a hater on college football, I'm sure i will have many on my draftboard, but right now I want 1 guy, and that guy is.......


Hakeem Nicks from UNC. This kid looks like a real deal NFL receiver. I watched the Meineke Car Care Bowl which slated UNC and West Va. This was actually one of the best bowl games i watched the entire bowl season this year. West Va won, but thats not what i cared about. Hakeem Nicks just went to work that game. 8 catches for 217 yards, and 3 damn touchdowns. Also, he might have had the catch of the year. Most Jets receivers dont have 3 tds in a month, this dude had them in 1 game.

Cotchery/Nicks/Clowney would be an awesome receiving core in my mind, and I am hoping the powers that be will bring this pipe dream to fruition.

We can even get that dude who introduces the Chicago Bulls starting 5 to introduce him to NY. "From North Carolina, at Wide Receiver, 6-1 Hakeeeeeeeem Nicks"

The Highlight of All-Star Weekend...

Up until Saturday night, I would have told you that the highlight of NBA All-Star weekend was KryptoNATE's St.Patty's Day Knicks uniform and green Foam Lites. That was until........ Shaq aka The Diesel aka Shaq-Fu aka The Big Aristotle aka The Big Daddy aka The Big Agave aka The Big Cactus aka The Big Shaqtus aka The Big Galactus aka Wilt Chamberneezy aka The Big Baryshnikov aka The Real Deal aka Dr. Shaq, aka Shaqovic, decided to have a dance off with season 1 champions of MTV's America's Best Dance Crew, The Jabbawockeez. My dude is a fool, and still leaves me entertained... I love it!

LEBRON IS IN THE 2010 SLAM DUNK CONTEST!

Forgive me if I'm not impressed...



If this man decides to be drafted, he should definitely be considered...

I be on dat KryptoNATE!

Props to my dude Nasty Nate Robinson for doing his thing and becoming a 2-time NBA slam dunk champion. And respect to D-12 for being and good sport and letting Kryptonate do his thang.

On other note, Nate Robinson is the ONLY good thing going for the Knicks right now. Hopefully during the second half of the season, the Knicks won't let Kevin Durant drop 100 on us or some shit. Then again, I wouldn't be surprised.

And a third note, Hofstra basketball all day baby! ALL DAY!

It aint nothin'.... (Part 2)

Well, as probably none of you saw, THE Hofstra Pride defeated The Hens of Delaware tonite at the Hen House. It was a great game played by Hofstra all around, and they earned the 10 point victory. The final score of 69-59 may not be indicative of the way the game was played, but a W is a W is a W. Charles Jenkins aka The Takeover scored a game high 26 points, and was killen em softly baby. Hofstra is still in line for a 4 seed with some help, but we shall see how that plays out, for right now, we can only look forward to James Madison, which yours truly will be attending on Wednesday night.

Delaware is still alive for like 12th, but what do you expect? They are Delaware.

In closing i will leave you with this....

H-O-F-S-T-R-A Hofstraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

What's Going On?

So, we started this blog to tell people how all of our sports teams cause nightmares, and now. all they do is win? WTH?? Was this all we needed to do? I would have started a blog 23 years ago. I would have partied like no other after all my teams championships. Obviously, in a perfect world, we would all be bloggers and Jets fans. This world aint so perfect.

So the New Jersey Devils are the hottest team in hockey right now, and im loving it. Tonight, they defeated the number 1 team in the east, the Boston* Bruins. (*Boston is another word for queer) The game was a good one, Bryce Salvador scored with about 9 minutes left in the 3rd period and the Devils never looked back. Scotty Clemmenson is now riding a 2 game shutout streak heading into Sundays showdown with the Sharks. Also worth noting, Zach Parise is 2nd in the NHL with 34 goals.

Another team that has been winning as of late is THE Pride of Hofstra University. They roll into the Hen House tomorrow night for a showdown with Delaware. This is a tough test for the Pride as Delaware has been a good home team this season. If the Pride can pull out the win, they put themselves in a good position for a 4 seed in the CAA Tourney. All 3 famous bloggers will be in attendance down in Richmond starting March 6th.

Lets Go Hofstra baby.

It aint nothin'...

Just so ya'll know it's not all hate all the time here...my boys from The University of Delaware pulled a nice upset tonight over George Mason (you may have heard of them...they made the final 4 a few years back in this basketball tournment they have every March).

On Saturday, my Fightin' Blue Hens will face off against Brian & John's Hofstra Pride...should be a dandy.

Random thought of hatred...

Ode to you smelly man. I take the subway home from work everyday. The subway in itself is bad enough, it smells like piss, it's crowded, and everyone on it just wants to get off ASAP and get home. So last night I get on the 6 train, and low and behold there is a smelly man on it....if you've never been on the subway trust me when I say this: YOU WILL KNOW when there is a smelly man on your train. So smells gets off one or two stops after I get on (thank god), and I'm basically forced into his spot on the train because of how crowded it is. So next stop a new guy gets on the train and is forced near me, and of course the stench is lingering so now...this new guy thinks that I'M smelly man! And it's so god damn obvious too, they look away, give a quick sniff, then try and turn their bodies so as to make others believe that it's not him but ME. Mother fucker. I hate you smelly man. Take a shower. Buy some fucking deodorant. I'm finished.

Ripoff Report...

So on my way into work today I see this billboard saying "J-E-T-S Brett Brett Brett". I couldnt help but think about how much we got taken for a ride with that dbag. He comes over to the Jets, and everything stops on a dime, we change our marketing, we change our style, and more importantly we change our fan base. We have people at these games wearing their corny Brett the Jet shirts, and their jerseys they spent upwards of 80 bucks on.
On another note, all these damn highlights i have to watch of this fraud are from 1 game.. 1 DAMN GAME. In this game Brett the Jet threw 6 td passes.. WHO CARES. It was the Arizona Cardinals who made the Super Bowl, and still fired their Defensive Coordinator. Even Laverneous Coles had2 td catches in that game, which is unfathomable. So for those non Jet fans out there, dont be fooled by this fraud, he sucked, and most Jet fans loathe him just as much as I do.
Hows this for a swift kick in the nuts: Yesterday, as i was checking my email, I received one from the New York Jets themselves. It was informing me that all Brett Favre items would be 50% off. How about for all people who shelled out the money for the jerseys when he first came over, and they were on backorder? Now, I know this was their choice but, what the hell were they thinking? New York Jet organization made millions upon millions from this bust. They are still laughing all the way to the bank in their armored truck, and boatloads of money.
Like Eric said, Dont let the door hit you on the way out.

You're Killing Me Smalls!

This damn Knicks team is killing me this season. How in the holy hell do you let a team with a record worse than yourselves score 144 points? Like seriously? D'Antoni did you have Tom Pecora syndrome last night? Did you purposely tell everyone not to play defense? Are we giving up that easily? How do you show glimpses of effort against Cleveland, L.A., Boston, and Portland and then look like a bunch of lost dogs against Golden State? Do they not have your respect? Are you guys that full of yourselves at 21-30, that you play down to them? As pitiful as it sounds, we still have a shot at the playoffs this season. I'm hoping that we can somehow or someway unload the salary cap leaches. Would it be too much to get rid of that Cancer Starbury for a 2nd rounder? I'm not asking for much here.

Its a Power Play Goal!!!!!!!!

So the nerd in Eric and I will lead to many blogs. As some of you know working at 5 Penn Plaza has some cool perks. 1 being right outside MSG. So as im going to the devils game tonite, i wanted to get my train ticket early. We walk over and who do we see? None other then Sam Rosen. I am not a Rangers fan, but couldnt resist the convo. Eric and I asked him a few questions, and he couldnt have been a nicer guy (This is the second time we saw him in 2 weeks). He loves us probably.

On the way out from getting the ticket we see Alexander "The Great" Ovechkin , we didnt say anything to him. Wow, i sound like such a fanboy.. Im usually not this big of a loser, but when you're bored at work, these things make the day pass.

Cheers to you Sam Rosen, thanks for being a cool dude.

PS. Sam, if you ever see this, we arent stalkers.

Good Riddance #4...

Let me start by saying this…Goodbye to you Mr. Favre. After all it’s not like you brought much to the big apple anyway. Except maybe a huge media circus, which in turn made my beloved Jets look even worse. You did nothing but set this franchise back 2-3 years. You brought fans to our stadium that had no business being there. For instance, 1 game I sat next to a guy who had no idea who was playing defense, they were just happy to see your pick 6 throwing ass. We are far worse off going into this season because of you, and I know you could care less. All unknowledgeable fans, just there wearing their #4 jerseys (suckers) cheering you when you came out of that tunnel with about as much emotion as a man at a final table of a poker tournament. We lost draft picks, and we lost a year to develop a QB. Please don’t let the door hit you and your 22 game changing interceptions, and 10 fumbles hit you in the ass on the way back to Mississippi. Goodbye to your 1-4 month of December record when the games really counted. I guess as a Jets fan though we all saw it coming…the cast changes, but the plot remains the same…I will be back, next year, and the following year, I’m just happy you wont be.

SUCK A FAT ONE FAVRE…

A look into my love/hate relationship with Hofstra Basketball

Ok, this post will hopefully allow me to begin to bring you into the life that is Hofstra Basketball.

(pictured Loren Stokes)

When i was a freshmen there, going to a game was very "uncool", our team sucked, and the fans were extremely apathetic. I went a couple of times with friends, but just wasnt really into the atmosphere, or lack there of.

Sophmore year is when things started to turn around. The first half of the season was just like freshmen year. This time i went more often though. Second semester though, things picked up. The fans got into it, and the student section was starting to get rocking and rowdy. We were very decent at best, but the games were fun to go to. Towards the end of the year, the CAA tournament came, and sinc it was in Richmond, VA, we werent going, impossible to get to, Hofstra aint paying. I just hoped the student support would carry over for the next year.

Junior year, my wishes came true, and the atmosphere was totally Awesome baby with a capital A (love ya dicky v). This is also, where I met a great group of friends, which to this day i am close with many, and even blog with 1. We had a long home winning streak, which peaked at number 2 in the entire nation, we rolled teams, and we had a blast. We even went to Richmond, Va for the CAA tourney. Not tooting my horn, but my friends and I were the ones who organized it, and brought everything to fruition. What a time we had. We beat Drexel, and bowed out to ODU the following day after blowing a 9 point half time lead. What was so great about this though was it was our first ever CAA tourney win.

Senior year (part 1, yes i had 2 senior years) was the magic. This will go down as one of the greatest years of my life. Lets cut to the chase, we protected our house, and took care of business as it came our way. The magic happened in February, when then ranked #25 George Mason came into "The Macka" and we stomped their faces for Hofstra's first ever win over a ranked team. Fast forward 10 days, we were playing in the CAA Finals on ESPN. In typical HU fashion we were down 21 at one point, but fought long and hard and cut the lead to 3. We lost, and we were crushed. Our last hope was Selection Sunday, and we were very confident on getting this bid. We didnt. FUCK YOU SELECTION COMMITTEE. Let Air Force in, Let George Mason in, albeit Mason made the Final Four that year, but w beat them twice in 11 days. Whose to say we wouldnt have slapped up Joakim Noah, and Al Horford? Ya never know.

Senior year part 2 was nothing special, we were all still very very bitter over our snub. I still am to this day, and dont want to talk about it.

Presently as of 24 seconds ago, we just beat Old Dominion on ESPN U, and are poised for a 4 seed in the CAA tourney. Thats if we dont fuck up. The title of this blog is very accurate, stay tuned for future mess ups. until then... H-O-F-S-T-R-A Hofstraaaaaaaa

First Line of Business - Tell Em' Why I'm Mad Son

If Brian's rants of hate didn't paint a good enough picture for you, I'd like invite you to step into the world of a New York Knicks fan. I've bled Blue and Orange my whole life. I've witnessed some good times (there were actually a few) and an immense number of BAD times. Yes, the capitalization of "BAD" was done purposely.

Wasting no time, allow me to share with you my most haunting experience as Knicks fan. Hop into the time machine, and let's take it back to 93' Eastern Conference Finals, Game five. After pissing off Michael Jordan and losing a 2-0 lead in the ECF, it came down to a pivitol game five @ the mecca of basketball, Madison Square Garden. The Bulls took the lead, late in the fourth and the Knicks had the last possession to take the series lead before going back to Chicago.

That was the plan, until a worthless sack of dog sh*t named Charles Smith decided to crush the soul of an emotionally unstable eight-year-old, and his dream to see his team potentially shine as NBA Champs.

This bum was 6-foot-10, 235 pounds. He was given the ball directly underneath the basket and left wide open to slam that motherf*cker home! All this POS had to do was jump straight up, and attack that rim! Remember back in the day when you and your little brother used to play with them little kids hoops and you used to straight up dominate? Posting up, and tearing that rim with straight up brute force? That's how it should of went down! Worst case scenario, grow a pair and get fouled. Why are you going for a lay up? How does one get blocked FOUR consecutive times directly under the basket by someone 4 inches shorter? A concept which boggles the mind and tortures me to this day... "A date which will live in infamy," word to FDR.

Here's the infamous play which solidified Smith's legacy as one of the biggest bums to wear a Knicks uniform. Is it unfair to solely blame Charles for losing the series for us? You be the judge.

Introducing....

Well, as this blog is still starting up, we decided to add another "writer". Hailing from Queens, NY, i would like ya'll to meet John, a 24 year old front-running, hater. Is that even possible? John has been a solid fan of the New York Knicks all his life, and i guess i am not calling him out on that, but other then that, his loyalties are subpar. He is a mets fan, but would rather have my team lose, then his team win. Hockey is not in his vocabulary, and he is a Giants fan, but once again, I think he likes my teams losing more then his team winning.

That being said, Game recognize game. Ef you John.

There are many instances of his hate, but here are just a few: If i like a player, like, lets say, umm, JJ Redick, who was the most ridiculous 3 ball shooter in all the land, then John would like him less and less each day, until 1 day he would even hate him, and like another player like Ramon Session, from Nevada. John loves the "hot hand" he likes whats new in the streets. You will com to see that, as he is most likely our NBA know all. Hopefully, tell all as well.

Welcome John, you POS. I'm sure he will introduce himself to us all.

Is this what the sports world is coming to?

So this entry might be the gheyest one ever. Sorry in advance, but you really will be fascinated at the end, you might even say "Wow Brian, you're right". Its not like i havent heard this before, but it never gets old.

This entry, I am recomending a book for ya'll to read.

I am a devoet supporter of the New York Jets, and they have broken my heart in more places then i can deal with. The weird thing is, I get bigger and stronger as the years pass. This past year i went to Tennessee, and next year I have Nawleans, and Indianapolis planned already. Eric has chosen to take part in both of those trips as well, as Tennessee was fun for him. Sadly, it was the last time he had a good time anywhere. Ok, back to the point of this blog. I am in the midst of reading a book by Nick Hornby, titled "Fever Pitch". Hornby is a die hard Arsenal fan, for all you sports fans, it is my understanding that Arsenal is a team in Europe that plays Soccer. Soccer is a boring game, and almost not even considered a sport, but in Europe its big. (sorry for that corny joke.) He, like Myself and Eric, Eat, Breathe, and Sleep our teams. Its amazing, sad, and heartfelt all at the same time. The book shows how he is a die hard fan, and explains all the trials and tribulations he had to go through as a fan. It makes me feel better about being a Jets fan, and I know there are other crazies out there. Its awesome. Im not going to go into full detail with this, but i recommend it highly. Eric will be reading it after i am done with it.

PS. Thanks to Jamie J for buying the book for me, and almost understanding that i'm not normal when it comes to sports and reality.

A-Roid

Brian reporting for duty sir:



So, Alexander Emanuel Rodriguez tests positive for steroids... BIG SHIT... Who cares who tests positive and who doesnt. I am convinced that most players take steroids, and their names have just not yet been leaked to the general public.

Here is my gripe. Why do people care if Alexander the Great takes steroids? I am a fan of the Yankees, and I know Alex tested positive for the juice in 2003, while a member of the mighty Texas Rangers (note: The Rangers will win the World Series, since I am a sports curse), but why should people even mind? If you are a fan of a team, wouldnt you want your players to do whatever it takes to get you that feeling of euphoria? I dont care A-Rod did 'roids. I want the entire team of Yankees to do them. I want championships. If the Kansas City Royals management invested more money in steroids and less money on players like Mark Teahan maybe they can be a powerhouse team? You're telling me the folks in Missouri would be upset if they won a World Series, only later to be told that players would be on steroids? They wouldnt care one bit. *Herman Edwards has been in Kansas City for the past 3 seasons, and news on winning there is good news.*

Listen, im not an advocate of steroids, but i dont care who takes them. I love sports, but more importantly, I love MY teams winning, no matter how its done. Has cheating become part of the game? Probably, but that doesnt bother me. If all people are doing it, then lets even the playing field. How about this rule: Like in the NFL they give out 4 Captains Patches, maybe MLB should allow 4 players a team to take steroids and then all teams will be created equal?

Ive always said this about my boy Jason Giambi: "I love how he took steroids, cause he put his body and well being on the line for the good of the fan"

That being said, Baseball season is right around the corner. Lets Go Yanks.

BTW: Dr. 24 THE Darrelle Revis had a siiiiiick pick in the Pro Bowl today.
