Every Friday the UDC will be dedicated to the Challenges (to give everybody a chance to watch this week’s episode before I spoil it), which airs on MTV every Wednesday night at 10 PM EST.  If you don’t watch this won’t make any sense to you.  If you do watch, hopefully we can have some fun with this.  If you [...]

Blackchecking is ManInBlack’s quick thoughts of the day. ~The Jets cutting perennial pro-bowler Alan Faneca was a bit of a surprise.  Apparently, they think he’s gone the route of Orlando Pace; a dominant player who has just run out of gas.  I don’t buy it.  I think Faneca has at least a few years left.  Not surprising at all, was [...]

One man’s random ramblings on the hottest topics of the day, as you would hear while waiting in line to buy an $8 beer… *Watch out Washington.  Jaroslav Halak is a man possessed.  His 53 save effort in game 6 of the Eastern Conference Quarters, to force a 7th game with the President’s Trophy winners, was the stuff that legends [...]

Sunday – Everton and Fulham right now.  Then it’s NASCAR from Talladega and Red Wings/Coyotes in game 6 from Detroit.  Add to that the Cubs/Brewers on TBS this afternoon.  Mix in a little Heat/Celtics basketball and you have the perfect excuse for me to not do anything today.  Did I mention there’s more baseball, basketball and hockey tonight? Today is [...]

Blackchecking is ManInBlack’s quick thoughts of the day.   ~Broncos.  First Round.  Tim Tebow.  Really?  Never mind that the Broncos showed zero support for Kyle Orton this offseason by first trading for Brady Quinn and then spending a first round pick on a quarterback.  But why bring in Brady Quinn at all if you don’t think you can develop him for [...]

Major props to the NFL for their new NFL Draft Fast Forward.  And the NFL Network.  I think I may be able to avoid Mel Kiper for, like, ever now.  This edition is dedicated to them. Eric Berry – Tonight the Kansas City Chiefs acquired their anchor in the secondary for the next 15 years.  Eric Berry can cover one [...]

One mans random ramblings  on the hottest topics of the day, as you would hear while waiting in line to buy an $8 beer… *As a Devils fan, I can’t even say I’m disappointed.  I’ve watched this team all season long, and other than its random dominance over the Penguins, they haven’t been very good.  I thought we’d be able [...]

Today’s edition of the UDC goes out to all the hippies celebrating today.  May they be too lazy to read this. The NFL Draft – Thursday is the culmination of all the NFL draft hype.  It’s the day where we all find out whose mock draft was the best and whose mock draft was dead wrong.  It also signals the [...]

One man’s random ramblings on the hottest sport topics of the day, as you would hear while waiting in line for an $8 beer… *The Eagles pulled off a very underrated move yesterday.  Acquiring Ernie Sims, who is still only 25 years old, for a 5th round pick, is a great move.  The odds that you get a contributing player [...]

Blackchecking is ManInBlack’s quick-hit thoughts of the day. ~With the exception of the Chicago/Nashville series, every playoff series sits at 1-1 after two games played.  Does that say something about the absence of home-ice advantage, parity in the league, or just dumb luck?  I’ll go with curtain number two, although I think a little of each is involved. ~Speaking of [...]
