Fantasy Match-up Recap

It probably didn’t come as a surprise, but my team won the match-up 6-4.  Nate is all talk, no game just like his basketball skills.  I predicted a 6-4 win, and that is exactly what i got, although it could have been a lot worse for Nate, he is lucky Calderon got injured.

Here at The Drubbing, we are engaged in many sports related activities.  One of our favorites is fantasy sports.  Currently, four of the contributors are in a Fantasy basketball league and two of them just happen to be playing each other this week.  I am going to run down a preview of the match-up between Nate and myself and give a prediction of who will win.  Nate will in turn write a recap and a forecast halfway through the week, then the winner will get a chance to have the last say.

Shorter shelf life, professional cheerleaders or NFL running backs?

Wine 'em dine 'em 69 'em

With the state of the current economy on the fritz, i recently started thinking about job security.  Then i started watching Monday Night Football.  And then, i pondered who had hotter cheerleaders, the Cowboys or the Buccaneers.

Then i realized it didn’t matter, they were all hot.  So i got to thinking, who has a shorter career, professional sports cheerleaders or NFL running backs.

What Really Happened in the LSU vs South Carolina Football game

Ryan Doyle, Monday, October 20, 2008 at 8:45 PM Comments (1)

On October 18th, 2008 LSU played South Carolina in a battle of SEC foes.  LSU came a way the victor, 24-17 in a closely fought battle.  LSU won a game that was closer than some expected.  The bigger news however, happened during the game. You can see it here -LSU vs USC Ref hit .  Officially, the SEC and even South Carolina Coach Steve Spurrier, upon reviewing the film, have acknowledged that the hit by Referee Wilbur Hackett Jr. was not intentional and he was doing his job when QB Stephen Garcia cut back, Hackett had no where to go, and was protecting himself.

Tour de Ryan

Ryan Doyle, Sunday, October 10, 2004 at 9:07 AM Comments (0)

Well, I have been away from the Hut for a while, but it was a worthwhile trip. This summer I went on a tour way more successful then any trip Lance Armstrong took in France. I made my way through a baseball game in the Windy city, a bachelor party trip to the City of Sin, a trip north of the border to see hopefully my new local baseball team, and finally a trip to South Kakalacki to relax on the beach and see the DogFather.

Why I Suck at Life

Ryan Doyle, Friday, October 8, 2004 at 9:10 AM Comments (0)

Editor’s Note: This story was originally posted on the previous iteration of The Drubbing, 3SportsGods.

So after I finished eating my dinner and I was cleaning up, I went to put away my hamburger helper when Bam! It hit me. The helper; all over the floor, all over the inside of the refrigerator, all over the walls and all over me. No I am not talking about the Helper hitting me, I am talking about an euphony…I suck at life. Its true and I am going to show you why. All of a sudden today I cannot lift my throwing arm because my shoulder felt like someone ran a Mac 10 over it (this is probably from sleeping on my side) and on the ride home on the metro my neck stiffened up from reading a book. Now the kicker, I am currently hitting .460 and slugging .680 in my wooden bat baseball league (side note: you know you are doing well when you are the thinnest guy on the team yet you bat cleanup) and I have 4 games in 3 days coming up. However, I cannot move my neck to see the ball or lift my arm to throw!

Taxi Cab Confessions

Ryan Doyle, Saturday, July 17, 2004 at 5:39 PM Comments (2)

Well, well my Pats won the Super Bowl…now I could write pages upon pages stating that ‘I told you so’, or brag about the victory in endless paragraphs. But I will spare you all my jubilee and celebration and instead I wanted to share with you some experiences I have had living near the city.

The best way to travel in any city is a taxi cab, I am convinced of this. Not only do you not have the responsibility of finding a safe parking space, but you also do not need to choose a DD, so everyone can have fun (not that you can’t have fun without drinking, but well you can’t if you’re the only sober one). You also get the adventure of riding with a cab driver. Now most rides are fairly mild and straight business, but on occasion you get a cabbie with a personality, mix this with a non sober group of riders and well, you get some interesting cab rides.
