  • Barack Obama Teaching David Cameron About College Basketball

    Barack Obama, the American President, is a huge basketball fan. His annual March Madness brackets are televised on ESPN. He usually goes with Kansas for the win, missing out in the last two years, but did get it right with North Carolina in 2009. He also has time to spread the word of basketball to the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, taking the PM to Dayton, showing him Western Kentucky and Mississippi Valley State in one of the ‘First Four’ games.

  • Minnesota Timberwolves as N’ Sync For a Day

    Kevin Love as Justin Timberlake? Probably not the greatest comparison, although I think JT is a decent basketball player. Not a double double monster like Love, who had some impressive moments during the 2012 All Star game, but we do know for sure that Love is no singer.

  • Bill Maher on What Makes the NFL so Successful

    Bill Maher doesn’t have me agreeing with everything he says about politics and his views and comments on life in present day America and sometimes the world, but his Irritable Bowl Syndrome, explaining the economic success of the NFL, is spot on.

  • Christian Eriksen Gone Wild

    Christian Eriksen, if you never heard the name, is one the brightest prospects in European soccer. Eriksen (19) won the Danish footballer of the year award for 2011 and also the Dutch football talent of the year. Besides being a potentially great player, he apparently likes taking part of crazy and a little bit obscure videos.

  • Robin Lehner Loses it on New Year’s Eve

    Robin Lehner of the Binghamton Senators, Ottawa’s AHL affiliate, is one of the more talented goaltenders skating around the minor leagues. The 20 year old Swede was the MVP of the 2011 Calder Cup Playoffs, won by the Senators. However, on Saturday night, facing the Syracuse Crush, Lehner completely lost it.
