Finding Gems
At midnight the NFL free agency period began and due to the experation of the collective barganing agreemnet, this off-season will be one to remember. The salary cap has been lifted, providing a huge rift between the haves and the have-nots. Basically, the parady in the NFL that everyone knows and loves is...

Miami and the Marquee Matchup

Miami and the Marquee Matchup
Sometimes you get exactly what you want. During the beginning of November when both the Indianapolis Colts and New Orleans Saints were delaying the ‘72 Dolphins from popping their stupid champagne bottles, ManWhole.com offered up a suggestion for Super Bowl XLIV. That’s right, on November 2nd, we...

Fighting for the Right to Party

Fighting for the Right to Party
Only four teams left standing in the NFL Playoffs and three long suffering fan bases are just a win away from the Super Bowl. Two of the past four seasons saw teams that never reached the Super Bowl finally make it (Seattle in Super Bowl XL and Arizona in Super Bowl XLIII) and while fans finally received a...

Name Battles

Name Battles
The great ones only need to be identified with one name. Michael. Wayne. Willie. You get the idea, once an athlete establishes himself among the great ones, everyone needs just one name to immediately recognize them. LeBron. Kobe. Brian. Ok, maybe Brian Scalabrine isn’t there. Yet. Maybe Brian...

What transpired serves as my favorite interview of the...

A Convenient Excuse
No other sports related news would have my phone buzzing the way it was Friday morning. During a meeting with about 20 people sitting at my table, the constant vibration from my phone finally became too much of a distraction causing everyone to ask me what was going on. I placed my phone on the table and...

Previewing the Past

Previewing the Past
The opening round of the NFL Playoffs should just be called déjà vu. Three of the four games are rematches from last Sunday, the final week of the regular season, and only one of those contests even has a slight tweak, as the Jets travel to Cincinnati to face the Bengals. Along with one of the AFC contests...

Living with Regrets

Living with Regrets
It’s crazy how perfectly songs intertwine with specific situations in life. Some tracks come on and take you to a completely different time and place. The most legendary album for me is the Wu-Tang Clan’s Forever because that cd came out right as my brother got his driver’’s license....

Get Off My Style

Get Off My Style
There’s nothing worse than a biter. It happens to me all the time when I make certain jokes and it’s expected. The only annoying part is when the biter takes credit for the idea. What usually happens is I’ll say a joke or do something stupid and get ridiculed for it the rest of the night. Then the next...
