Cocktail Treats for Super Bowl LI

This Sunday, the New England Patriots and Atlanta Falcons will square off in Super Bowl LI, which is 51, not a Chinese last name. Assuming you’re like most Americans, I can guess two things: 1) You want the Patriots to lose more than you want either team to win, and 2) You’re going to be drinking heavily on Sunday – both because it’s the Super Bowl and because Donald Trump is burning our country to the ground. Drink up, kids. To get you ready for your Sunday debauchery for eitherRead More

  At last, the biggest day in the sporting world is finally here – Super Bowl Sunday. The biggest game of the year is always a spectacle; however, with this being Super Bowl 50, the hype is at an all time high. The NFL has gone all-out promoting Super Bowl 50 – perhaps more so than with any of the game’s 49 previous iterations. And the matchup holds plenty of intrigue on its own – the Denver Broncos and Peyton Manning’s “last rodeo” versus the Carolina Panthers and one ofRead More

10 Key Topics Discussed in Friday’s State of the NFL

The Super Bowl is over and now the NFL offseason begins. On Friday of last week, NFL commissioner Roger Goodell spent close to an hour addressing the media in Phoenix, AZ. The commissioner began Friday’s press conference with what resembled a State of the Union type speech before he went on to take questions from the media. The topics Goodell dove into are ones that can occupy the idle time of NFL fans for the next few months. Goodell said that the previous year has been “a year of humilityRead More
Regardless of which team you were cheering for or against, two things are true: Super Bowl XLIX was an amazing game, and the commercials this year were not that great. Whether you’re smiling from ear to ear and have Tom Brady tattooed on your butt, you called in sick to work because you can’t stop crying over “the play call,” or you really dgaf about anything but kitty purry and the dancing sharks, you probably watched, judged and reacted to the ads. WTF? Loctite Glue- Positive Feedback: Definitely memorable, and by thatRead More

For yet another year, the top seeds in the AFC and NFC will square off in the game of all games – this time, Super Bowl XLIX in Arizona. Pitting the AFC’s #1 seed, the New England Patriots against the NFC’s #1 seed, the Seattle Seahawks, this Super Bowl should be an interesting game between two very different teams. For much of America, it will be the “Lesser of Two Evils” bowl, as the Patriots and Seahawks are pretty much universally disliked except by their respective fanbases. But we don’t haveRead More
Youtube is full of shameless self-promotion and senseless publicity for things nobody should care about. Of the hundreds of thousands of videos posted every hour, most go unnoticed and warrant little reason to get noticed. This is why I got together with two good friends and tried to do something meaningful, especially given current events.   1 Year Ago During a rehearsal for an open mic show, I stumbled upon a chord progression that I really liked. My mind immediately began racing to find lyrics. My bro Sean assisted, knowingRead More

The Torture of Being a San Diego Sports Fan

In a recent article, San Diego was voted as the most tortured sports city. Both the Padres and Chargers do not have a single championship to their names since their introduction into professional sports in 1969 and 1970 (post-AFL), respectively. San Diego has also hosted a couple basketball teams (the Rockets and Clippers), but the market was never strong enough to keep them. I know, somewhere Champ Kind is crying into a plate of chicken wings. However, as a native San Diegan and avid Charger/Padre supporter, I felt inclined toRead More
This weekend was dominated by Brits and Seahawks. Massive forehands and aggressive blitzes. Beating the favored team and… beating the favored team, in both cases. In tennis, Great Britain took the Davis Cup tie over the United States with only one player ranking inside the top 100. How? They hit the ball really really hard. On Friday, James Ward shocked the crowd at Petco Park by defeating the much higher ranked Sam Querrey. The match that needed to be won by the United States was lost, and there was noRead More
Eww. That was one horrible, one-sided, bore of a football game we were all forced to endure on Sunday. Super Bowl XLVIII, for all its hype and seemingly endless storylines, straight-up flatlined. It took all of 12 seconds and one offensive snap for the Broncos to be on their heels and the Seahawks to be on the attack. And after Manny Ramirez‘s errant snap fluttered over Peyton Manning’s head and into the end zone for a safety, for all intents and purposes, the game was over. The writing was on theRead More
Breakdown of my time spent while the Super Bowl is on during any given year: 50% eating snacks, 40% seriously asking everyone who’ll listen why they don’t just have Beyonce perform for halftime every year, 9% watching the commercials, and 1% pretending to actually watch the game. For those of you who spend your time otherwise (I don’t understand why you would), here’s a recap of the best commercials worth looking up on YouTube.   Arnold Schwarzenegger Plays Ping-Pong for Bud Light Seriously, watch this. Bud Light took a randomRead More
Ahh…the Super Bowl. If you’re anything like me, it’s a time for merriment, poor eating habits, a chance to see David Beckham running half-naked, and, best of all, a kickass halftime performance. Bruno Mars was the league’s pick for 2014 and yet, regardless of the artist’s proven talent and popularity, many critics questioned whether the fresh young performer was ready to live up to the likes of last year’s show brought to us by the amazing Queen Beyonce. After delivering a killer performance complete with drum solos, heartfelt messages fromRead More
It’s finally time for the moment we’ve been waiting for since August: Super Bowl XLVIII. The Denver Broncos against Seattle Seahawks; the two teams we’ve expected to go this far from the beginning. And while I’ve already broken down the Big Game in detail in another column, I wanted to give y’all some gambling advice for Super Bowl Sunday. I’ll begin by giving you my ATS and Over/Under picks, and then you’ll get the added bonus of getting some suggestions for ridiculous prop bets you can make – such as, whatRead More
