Raising a Nation of Entitled Wussies

I have news for you America, your kids are entitled to jack squat.  That’s right, you heard me.  Everyone born in the U.S. has the Bill of Rights.  At a hospital you have a patient’s bill of rights.  But other than the basic rights provided to us from our forefathers, you are entitled to nothing.  [...]

Best Baseball Parks

Staying with the “best of” and “baseball” themes let’s look at the 10 best places to watch a baseball game.
#10 Coors Field – Denver, CO

Good food, lots of offense, plenty of cheap seats and beautiful Denver, Colorado.  It is tough to beat that combination.
#9 PNC Park – Pittsburgh, PA

Pittsburgh isn’t exactly a “tourist” destination but if [...]

Best Baseball Rivalries

The BEST OF week returns to the BPD rag. 
In the heat of the baseball playoff race I thought I would start with best baseball rivalries.
I will not include AL v. NL teams because it just seems unnatural.  I have never been big on the interleague play to begin with but for anyone to assume the Cubs [...]

2008-09 NFL Playoff and Superbowl 43 Predictions

I spent all of this week analyzing the upcoming NFL season.  Now that you have seen my picks for 2008 it is time to see who is at the top when the smoke clears in Tampa Bay.

NFC Wildcard Round
 
Philadelphia @ New Orleans – Philadelphia gets revenge for the loss in 2006.  Despite New Orleans getting [...]

NFC and AFC East PREVIEW

NFC EAST – Dallas, New York and Philadelphia should be neck in neck in this great division.  New York, coming off of a championship, has lost a few players but should continue to be competitive.  Philadelphia was the classic underachiever last year and should improve.  Dallas has the talent to get to the Superbowl and [...]

NFC and AFC West PREVIEW

NFC WEST – The West is still all about the Seattle Seahawks.  With key off-season additions they are the class of the division.  Arizona is slowly creeping up on them but may finally have enough talent to contend for a playoff spot.  San Francisco and St. Louis are dismal and bring up the rear.
1. Seattle [...]

NFC and AFC South PREVIEW

NFC SOUTH – This could possibly be the worst division in football.  Atlanta is in a full rebuilding mode, Carolina is in neutral, New Orleans is overrated and Tampa Bay is incredibly mediocre.  It would not surprise me at all to see the division winner with only 8 or 9 wins.
1. New Orleans Saints 10-6

New Orleans [...]

NFC and AFC North PREVIEW

NFC NORTH – Minnesota should lead this out of the gate and take it wire to wire.  The only chance of them getting pressed during the season will be if Chicago’s defense and special teams win games for them like they did in 2006 or if Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers has a Favre like [...]

The HOT Olympics

China is about to ring in the next summer games.  Now I know most of you are thinking, aside from Kobe and the boys do we care enough to DVR these events?  Most of the events are taking place while we are fast asleep and the replays on MSNBC and NBC are going to be lame…guaranteed.  [...]
