Before I get going on this post, I just want to send my best wishes over to Jim Johnson and his family. Jim, as you’ve probably heard by now, has cancer, a recurring case that this time found it’s way into his spine. Jim, I think I can safely say I speak for all of [...]

Not hyped for the Super Bowl? Lively it up by playing the Pundit’s new drinking game, “The Stupor Bowl”

So the Birds need a running back, do they? The Pundit has a few in mind
First of all, don’t hold your breath for Brandon Jacobs or Derrick Ward – I don’t see it happening. If they go the veteran route, they’ll just keep Correll Buckhalter. They know him, they already have an idea of how he fits in the offense (Editor’s note: Though its rare they allow him to), and [...]

Would the Sixers be wise to trade Elton Brand? The Pundit gives his take
Let’s be honest – one of the most exciting things about basketball is trade rumors, concocting trade scenarios, etc. Now, I’m not going to go all Bill Simmons on you and play Monday Morning GM, but I couldn’t help but raise the old brow when I heard Jody Mac say that he read Chad [...]

You say Houshmandzadeh, I say Houshmandnada – The Pundit isn’t so sure he’s the right fit
We’ve already discussed the possibility of Julius Peppers or Jordan Gross being added to the mix next season. Now I want to talk about another guy, one I think will probably be the popular choice among Eagles’ fans: T.J. Houshmandzadeh.
And I’m just gonna come out and say it – I don’t really think he would [...]

Anybody else think Julius Peppers would look good in green?
If you haven’t been following the Julius Peppers situation, this article gives the full recount. In brief, Peppers wants out of Carolina, and part of his reasoning was that he wants to move from a 3-4 defense to a 4-3. Or, in the very least, to a different system.
Right. That’s the reason. Because despite the [...]

There are some pretty good teams in Philly – Are you having as hard of a time caring, after the Eagles, as the Pundit is?
Quick comparison: He Got Game vs. Above the Rim. Both center around the lives of superstar high-school basketball players raised in the inner-city. However, each focuses on a different stage in the player’s personal development – He Got Game is about the corrupt politics of the recruiting system, and how a young basketball player’s life [...]

The Pundit’s NFL Mocking Draft, Part Two
As noted before, I’m a huge fan of the NFL draft – but it’s way too soon to predict, with any semblance of accuracy, what will actually happen. This is what I came up with instead. (Find Part One here)
17. New York Jets – With the 17th pick, the Jets have selected: A designated scapegoat. [...]

What does Donovan think about Donovan? The Pundit wonders if he’s satisfied…
So, meandering about the Internet last night, I stumbled upon a BS Report with an author I dig, Chuck Klosterman. By the way, if you don’t know Klosterman, check him out some time – pretty good stuff.
Anyway, during the course of his lengthy and wandering convo with Simmons, the topic of Chris Webber – namely, [...]

Ryan Howard wants 18 million smackers? The Pundit ain’t so sure ’bout that
$18 million? That figure is higher than Snoop Dogg on 4/20. (Editor’s note: Does anybody actually know the significance of that date? Is this really it?) I mean, that seems just a smidge high, considering the Phillies’ offer of $14 million would be a $4 million dollar raise. (Editor’s note: Insert Sarcasm Here).
