Honoring the Winter Olympics by watching Cool Runnings
With the end of the Winter Olympics today we thought you might like to watch the best movie about the Little Brother of the Olympics. Yes, the Winter Olympics are the little bro of the Summer Olympics, but Cool Runnings in and of itself might make up for the discrepancy between the excitement of the [...]
King Herrod’s NBA Trade Review, Part II–Supermodel Summer
(Part I) The phrase I’ve heard a lot over the past couple weeks is “bad contracts.” Most often heard in loving terms like, “this player is a bad contract” or “the team really just wants to get rid of his bad contract.” How about being the “bad contract?” The person, who usually isn’t even mentioned [...]
King Herrod’s NBA Trade Review, Part I
Since the NBA trade deadline, there have been all sorts of commentary and analysis telling us the winners and losers, who was a gambler and who was a pimp, who was turning lemons into lemonade and who was a truck stop waitress.

PODCAST: The Pump Fake (February 23, 2010)

A YouTube Trip Down the Nostalgia Lane of Sports Classics
Pause. Life should come with the “pause” feature, don’t you think? Just the other day, a friend and I talked about how life seems to be running out of control without an regard to the things we want to accomplish. Ever morning I get up and yet life never once asks me if I would [...]

Athletes Who Could Be President
Yesterday was President’s Day. The one day a year everyone gets together and asks, “Why do we have this day off again?” Well, since the Pump Fake had to postpone its show, due to being locked out of the office, we thought we should honor those brave Presidents who have come before. Since there are [...]
NBA All-Star Game Bests
After possibly the worst slam dunk contest on Saturday, the real dunkers took court Sunday night and had a fest. It was LeBron James soaring, double-clutching for reverse dunks. It was Dwyane Wade throwing down ally-oops. It was Dwight Howard skying for one handed slams. It was Carmelo Anthony two-handing it through the orange, iron [...]
