The Sports Bizzo

I've tried writing this 4 times now, and I think I finally found an angle that hasn't been beaten over the head (wait, it was just beaten over the head). First, I wanted to talk about why I didn't think the Mavs would win the Finals (who knew they wouldn't even get out of the first round?!) - as seen HERE. 5. No set lineup - Well, as we've seen in Round 1, this remains true. Despite what happened with George Hill in Game ... Read More

I've mentioned more than a few times that this has been one of my favorite regular seasons as an NBA fan. I've seen my favorite team on TV more this year than any in the past. I've recognized their problems with every one else, I've seen the decline of the team and the uprising of a contender in one season. Yet, I allowed myself to fall into the Mavs trap, like I also do. I sort of wish the trade with the Wizards ... Read More

By Toph... So, if you've ever read any sports related article I've written (which, I hope you have, since this is The Sports Bizzo), you know that I might just be the strangest sports fan in the world. When things are going great, I panic and think the end is near. When things are at their bleakest, I get excited and think things are going to turn around. When I see the Mavs down 10 on the road heading into the 4th quarter against ... Read More

By Jon (yep... you read that right)... John Hollinger doesn't get it. I read ESPN religiously, and I continually hate myself for doing so. ESPN may very well be the reason behind the rise and fall of sports media. I know Ben Stiller was gunning for a laugh when he came up with "The Ocho" in Dodgeball, but he wasn't too far off the mark. I name drop John Hollinger for a reason. He's one of the increasing number of hacks that populate the ESPN ... Read More

First of all, friends, I am sorry I've neglected you. Truth is, well, I've been busy, and I don't have anyone else picking up my slack right now. Anyone know quality writers that would write for, um, glory (and absolutely no pay)? Surprisingly, I'd say that I've arguably watched more sports this year, than most year's past. This, of course, is thanks to NBA League Pass. The thing about having the Mavs on regularly in Dallas is that you do take it for ... Read More

Doug, I'd say you were a lucky SOB, but you didn't actually get to meet Melissa Rycroft, so you're not. But... Merry Christmas from Toph, Jon, Christian and the rest of The Sports Bizzo contributors. Read More

Everybody is doing lists right now, so fuck you I'm gonna do one, too. Here are my most hated athletes of all time. 10. Tom Brady - Hell of way to start a list of hated athletes. The thing is, I want to like Brady. I really do, but the guy is such a douche. I'm not gonna lie, there was a small part of me secretly rooting for Brady his first Super Bowl. Sure, that was mainly due to this fucking nincompoop in ... Read More

By Toph... So, I started reading The Book of Basketball by Bill Simmons over the past weekend. It's a big fucking book, and I've just finished reading Chapter 2. Let me tell you, if the rest of the book is as good as chapter 2 is, then I recommend buying this book right now. Chapter 2 is about Bill's meeting with Isaiah Thomas (you can read an except here). There's a long history here, but they patch it up enough for Simmons to ask ... Read More
