The Pundit has a few housewarming gifts he’d like to give to the Mets…

Seeing as the Mets are moving into their new digs over at Citi Field, it seemed only fitting to buy them – and their lovely fans – some housewarming gifts. For starters, every new home should have a bookshelf brimming with quality works. Here’s a few must-haves I picked up for them.

Those should start them [...]

Decrypting the Donovan McNabb situation, The Pundit devises four scenarios

Alright, so the way I see it, this entire McNabb/playmakers/contract extension talk can be broken down four ways:
1. McNabb wants out! He’s done. Finished. Enough is enough. Sadly, this makes Deion Sanders look good. So why the whole restructuring deal talk? Glad you asked.

McNabb is certainly playing his hand…But will he be playing here much longer?

And here I thought the bankruptcy of the Philadelphia Newspapers LLC was going to be the news we all flocked to.
But never fear, for Donovan McNabb is here! At least for now, that is.
I have to say – this latest tidbit, about Donovan only restructuring his deal if the Eagles bring in more playmakers, is [...]

I’m getting a little ferklempt: Eagles lose options, Sixers stay put. Talk amongst yourselves.

Rhode Island – neither a road, nor an island. Discuss.
Yesterday, the NFL took a personnel day. And if you’re an Eagles fan, it was a disappointing one. The Panthers made their move, and it wasn’t pretty for our Birds – by resigning Gross, and franchising Peppers, they took away two very interesting options.
Alas, that was [...]

Here’s who the Eagles should sign…

Yeah…yeah, that could work. More Terry Tate, and a Donovan question, after the jump.

The Pundit on A-Rod’s Press Conference – Disappointing, to say the least

I’m not sure what I was expecting at A-Rod’s presser today. Maybe I thought he would be forthright; maybe I hoped he would be genuine.
Sadly, I don’t think he was either.
Instead, Mr. Rodriguez glossed over many of the questions he was asked, leaving much unanswered and much more to be desired. On an afternoon where [...]

What would your ultimate NBA starting five be? The Pundit gives his picks

I was thinking about titling this post “Who is in your NBA All-Star Fave Five?” Thankfully, my dignity returned from its perilous journey through Douscheville, and I escaped disaster.
Whew.
But anyway, watching a bit of the NBA All-Star Game last night, I started wondering how I would put together a team that would be totally unstoppable. [...]

What will the Sixers do with Andre Miller? The Pundit mulls their options

Other than the playoffs, this is my favorite part of the NBA season – the trading deadline. Who will go where, which moves will shape the rest of the season, what move will be a horrific flop, how many unrealistic trades can I get myself excited about after I make the money work on ESPN’s [...]

So Brett Favre is retiring, is he? Right…here are a few more things that might actually “happen”

So Mr. Favre is retiring…again. Right. I’ll believe it when the Jets (Editor’s note: Or Vikings and Bears, for that matter) take their first snap without him next season. It’s probably time that Brett “The Gritman” Favre took his leave – his last few years in the league have been clouded by too much controversy [...]

Liveblogging the Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show? Hey, I could use a good laugh…

Don’t worry, fans – I’ll throw a whole lot of Villanova vs. Marquette in here as well. Fact is, I just kind of need a break from football rumors, baseball cheaters, etc. And, quite frankly, the Dog Show is pretty entertaining. For one thing, a Chinese Shar-Pei sort of resembles Mike Tyson.
Plus, the commentary is [...]
