September 28th was an epic night in baseball. I complain about baseball because I feel like 162 games is too many as each game is worth than 1% of the season. Well tonight for the Braves, Red Sox, Rays and Cardinals, their games were worth 100% of their season as they were tied for the [...]
Busy week here at Lola Sports Talk, see what we’re up to: The Braves and Cardinals are tied with the Cardinals for the NL Wildcard spot with one game to go. Baseball’s playoff system is rather exclusive system, only 8 of the 30 teams make the play0ffs, whereas in the NFL 12 or the 32 [...]
I was hanging home Saturday afternoon, trying to figure out ways to knock myself unconscious until football started the following afternoon. I got a facebook message from a friend who had a spare ticket to an Atlanta Silverbacks soccer game. If you didn’t know, Atlanta and its surrounding area is devoid of any MLS Teams, [...]
Here’s the public spin via Jay Z. And here’s the seedier, more cynical breakdown Via super genius Malcolm Gladwell. Regardless, I am still more that excited for a pro sports team to finally land in my childhood borough.
This past Saturday, friends of Lola Sports Talk Dean Vassallo and Jessica Taylor went to Yankee Stadium to to see the Yankees take on a reeling Boston Red Sox team. Their seats were in the swank Legends Suite (you know, those seats that are usually empty on TV because they cost so much). Through their [...]
You may remember Money Making Kain from his glorious debut video where he correctly picked the Packers and the Over. His computer is down but I talked to him on the phone and this is the gist of what he said about week 3 gambling: Giants +9 over EAGLES His logic here was [...]
This weeks column is Friday in name only as it is released early Saturday morning. Yesterday I wrote a column imploring you to pick up Bernard Scott. Since then Ced Benson has appealed his suspension. This means he will play this week against a very stout 49ers run defense. One would have to assume Scott [...]
I’m currently in sunny Atlanta, but up far north of the Mason Dixon line it’s raining cats and dogs in New York, postponing our scheduled coverage of tonight’s Mets/Phillies tilt. (Christmas in September) On the positive side, Lola Sports Talk will be covering the Southern Hospitality Showcase in Atlanta. It’s essentially a pickup game featuring [...]
Right Said Ced Benson is being suspended for 3 games for kicking the crap out of a friend during the lockout. His backup Bernard Scott has shown flashes of ability over the last few years but the plodding and unexciting Benson has remained healthy. Scott is worth a major flyer as he is so explosive, [...]
Another day, another video from WorldStarHipHop.com. I’m not a huge fan of auto racing, but if they’re shooting guns out the window, ding 360s in the lane next to a school bus and break out Tony Hawk-ish 1080′s count me in!!! For the record, this is the craziest driving I have ever seen.
