Avatar: It's Not Your Father's Ham-Fisted Allegorical Morality Play!
So I finally made it to see James Cameron's new 3D adventure epic and the majority of you have likely already done so as well and formed your own opinions. Now I'll give you the right answers. First of all it's absolutely essential that you not only see this film in the theatre but also that you...
Dallas Stars Daily Links: Big Hit From Morrow Keys Late Stars Comeback
Brenden Morrow didn't turn the hockey game around with a goal or a great puck battle along the wall. No, the Dallas Stars captain did it in a way that harkens back to the 2008 Western Conference Semifinals - with a devastating bodycheck to one of the opposition's best players. Morrow's huge hit on...
But they don't play anybody!
It's another run at perfection and the scheduling snobs have returned with their tired and boring argument that Utah doesn't deserve to be anywhere in the BCS picture because they just don't play anyone. This year, they actually do have somewhat of a case because the Utes have had a steady diet of...
Last Word on BJ Penn: Tiers, Hall of Fame, and What Might Have Been
Our BJ Penn discussion this week had been interesting to say the least, but I still think we are talking past each other. I love BJ Penn. I was rooting hard for him against Edgar like I've cheered for him over the course of the decade. I believed in his ability to be one of the pantheon of greats....
Does Frankie Edgar loss at UFC 118 change BJ Penn's legacy?
It's long been a given that BJ Penn is one of the greatest fighters of all time.

But after losing two in a row, is it time to reevaluate where Penn stands...
UFC 118: Is BJ Penn Overrated? Facts Point to Yes
BJ Penn was manhandled last night. Manhandled by a fighter most experts consider too small for the lightweight division. Frankie Edgar had his way with Penn, scoring on his feet and even taking down the man who seemed in past fights to have uncanny balance and defense. Many people were shocked by...
Five College Football Teams That Won't be as Good as Advertised in 2010
Defense wins championships. That maxim has always been true, and it continues to be so, which is why there are certain teams in which I am disinclined to repose faith as we proceed toward compiling our preseason BlogPoll ballots. For clarity’s sake, I should point out that I am not saying the...
UConn is now a top-10 team
Tenth? Really? We are a few days late on this one, but I thought it was important to note that UConn is somehow ranked tenth in both the AP and ESPN/USA Today basketball polls. I am the world's biggest homer and even I think that is...
This pretty much sums it up about BYU
I've been reading what the expectations are down in Provo and came across this article about their game against Oklahoma from KSL. What drew my attention was the premise - or how BYU has just utterly failed at getting a decent win over an elite team in over a decade. The article had to go all the...
