The Sports Bizzo

By Toph... Jon, you can find your pony in my bedroom getting its tail fucked by me. I have no idea what that meant, but we decided we need to argue on the Biz. I love the Marion trade. I do, and I like what the Mavs have done so far this offseason. What's there not to like? In case anyone missed it, we trade Jerry Stackhouse for Shawn Marion. Jerry Stackhouse, who didn't do shit last year. Think of this lineup: 1.Kidd, Howard, Marion, Dirk, ... Read More

By Jon... Today kinda feels like Christmas morning, but not in a good way. Did you ever have one of those Christmas' (Christmases?) where you asked for some really badass expensive toy that you knew you probably weren't going to get, but you held out hope until the last conceivable minute? I can't remember one offhand, so for the purpose of this article, I'll just pretend like I'm an 9 year old girl who's been asking for a pony for the last three years and ... Read More

By Jon... Weekly Grumblings, my ass. I'm sure that's what y'all are thinking. Well, I've needed to build up some things to grumble about. So here we go, a marathon version of the grumblings.... 1. If I see one more box score or headline that says Devin Harris has set another career high in points, I'm gonna kill someone. Harris scored 47 points the other day, FORTY SEVEN POINTS!!! That's ridiculous. Why did the Mavs trade him again? Oh right, for that old man ... Read More

By Jon... As we look ahead to another Mavs season full of High expectations and disappointment, here are 10 things to look forward to: 1. Dirk is another year older and a little less effective, and even better news, he has less help than in previous years. I'm gonna steal a line from Bill Simmons here: The NBA...where frittering away your best player's prime happens.... 2. The first full year of the Jason Kidd experiment- Last year, we didn't get to see the half of ... Read More

By Toph... I've decided that this is the year I become a hockey fan. I've always been a decent hockey spectator, but not really a fan. What I mean by that is when the Stars are in the playoffs, I watch the games and cheer for them. I'm sure there's a sport you feel that way about, right? Most likely, it's probably hockey, too. But, last year, as the Stars made their way through the Western Conference playoffs, something happened to me. Maybe it ... Read More

By Jon... This sucks. I wrote a really kick ass breakdown of everything that pissed me off about last year's Mavs season. A post-mortem of sorts. I was writing it all on my cell phone as an email to Toph. And then my phone died. And it doesnt work like a computer. It doesn't save a damn thing. So you guys are the ones that will have to suffer through it, because I plan on recapping what my thought process was at the time, ... Read More

By Christian... Shakespeare asks us “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Sure, Bill. But not just any name is going to look good on the front of a jersey, or plastered all over the walls of your mancave (or womancave, as the case may be). Plus, you sure as hell hope that when your team is headed into the Super Bowl or Game 7 of the World Series, they ... Read More
