Following are the rules of The DBL, as created by me on February 18, 2012. The goal is to get 9 other players (10 total) to join for the start of the 2012 season. As those who are in my fantasy football league know, any initial “League Constitution” is very changeable. This is just a basic guideline I have created. [...]

After the awful sports month of February, and the largely boring month of March (save for 10 days of college basketball), April has finally arrived, and with it comes nicer weather (in theory, at least) and better sports.  And also, for the 17th time, the return of ERP with a declaration by yours truly that I’ll be a more active [...]

Normally I start with football, because really this time of year, that’s all that matters.  But as a depressed Phillies fan, I want to put the final nail in their coffin ASAP, so that I can stop talking about them until my angry mid-winter rant about how they gave Howard too much money, which forced them to let Werth walk, [...]

Rough weekend for yours truly as far as sportswatching goes. I had to work 8-8 Saturday and Sunday, and the only two games I got to see were the Phillies-Giants games one and two. I still have a lot of opinions on the weekend, but most of those opinions were formed thanks to reading ESPN.com or watching Sportscenter this morning. [...]

Cliff Lee shocked the baseball world last October when he pitched in his first ever playoff for the Philadelphia Phillies, going 4-0 in 5 starts with a 1.56 ERA.  This included 2 complete games, 33 strike outs in 40 innings, and 2 wins over the New York Yankees in the World Series. This after eventful but certainly not fast-tracked to [...]

Another action filled weekend in the world of sports, and another miserable Monday morning. It’s a holiday Monday where we honor the guy who discovered The Bahamas, and if you’re like me, that means absolutely nothing to my company, and I have to work. That matters not, though. What matters is the crazy world of sports that I’m going to [...]

What a weekend.  It’s hard to even know where to begin when it comes to discussing the sporting events of the past few days.  Originally when I started going Monday Morning Hangover’s a few weeks ago, it was an NFL-related post to discuss everything you saw – or didn’t see – the day before.  But there’s so much I want [...]

Sharkey’s quickhit thoughts on this past weekend… Dez Bryant refused to carry Roy Williams’ shoulder pads into the locker room after practice yesterday.  Apparently this has ruffled a few feathers.  I don’t see what the big deal is.  It’s rookie hazing, which is a part of the NFL, and has been for the last 50+ years.  Bryant doesn’t want to [...]

Sharkey’s quick-hit thoughts on the world of sports… Monday, Ilya Kovalchuk signed a 17 year deal with the Devils.  Yesterday morning, the Devils rolled out all the stops with a press conference/love-fest the likes of which Newark, NJ has never seen before.  Last night, the NHL rejected the deal.  Dangerous precedent the NHL is setting here.  And I’m not just [...]

After a kickass 3-day mini-vacation, followed by 3 days of non-stop working, I’m back to share my thoughts… If you’re a Nets fan, and you’re not super excited about the Mikhail Prokhorov era, it’s time you began getting excited.  Just read this article, in which Prokhorov says the Nets will make the playoffs next year, and win a title within [...]
