Let’s get this out: I don’t really watch the NFL. Like I know who people are and I know what the basic stories are. But I don’t really have the kind of knowledge I need. So I’m going to do what I do best -pick based on other reasons. Maybe I’ll pick against your team because your entire fanbase are a collection of obnoxious goons. Who can say?
I was thinking about a lot of things, but not enough to make one column about them. So I pushed them together, added some cheese to bind, and BAM…. the TSF Random Thoughts. What was I thinking about. Answers after the jump.
For those of us who are fans of pro wrestling, we hear the jokes.
“How can you watch that crap? It’s just oiled-up men in bikini briefs.” or “Don’t you know it’s fake?” So on and so on. Time and time again you hear it until, to be perfectly honest, there are few things that you would rather be doing than to listen to it time and time again.
Usually we just stand there and take it like it’s no big deal. This is the life that we have chosen after all.
Do you want to know what the worst part is? The absolute thing that makes you wish you would die? It’s that you know it’s special, that it’s art. But the people you trust to defend the thing you love are morons, loud and obnoxious to the point where you wish that they would shut up some more.
Sometimes, just when you think it can’t happen, you get the guy who can speak for your sport. And today, after the jump, you get that guy. “Lightning” Mike Quackenbush is the patriarch of Chikara, one of the last truly innovative promotions that exist. Also he’s competed on 4 continents, wrestled some of the true legends of the sport, and trains the next generation of performers at his Wrestle Factory.
Is it the 1999 Tennessee Titans Motor City Miracle or Villanova’s April Fool’s Miracle in 1985? How about the 2007 New England Patriots attempt to join the 1972 Dolphins as undefeated champions or UNLV’s quest in 1991 for an undefeated National Championship season?
What does it for you, the NFL Playoffs in January & February or the Madness in March?

Remember this? Remember how much fun it was. Well guess what? It’s time For Round 2.
No One is off limits. Underground, above-ground, it don’t matter (be chill, be chill fam).
But you didn’t come for this. You came for my list. And that list is after the jump.
Any question you might have about supplements I will try my best to answer. Keep in mind I’m not a doctor, so you should consult your physician (or KevDog) before starting any of these.
Other than that, fire away.
1983 Champs…vastly underrated
If the Boston Celtics win the NBA Championship in June, the team of Paul Pierce, Ray Allen and Kevin Garnett will be considered one of the greatest title teams ever assembled.
With that thought in mind; who do you consider the Greatest NBA Championship Team in your lifetime. Is it the 1996 Chicago Bulls who went 72-10 or was it the 1986 Boston Celtics, the 1985 Lakers or the 1989 Bad Boys of Detroit. Maybe it was my favorite the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers.
Let the debate begin…

Calgary Flames superstar right winger Jarome Arthur-Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla is the shining light in a sport that has literally known no Darkness. To many Blacks in the United States the sport of hockey falls in the same category as NASCAR or any sport that we have yet to dominate. Iginla is hockey’s first true dominant Black player since Edmonton Oilers goalie Grant Fuhr.
And at his current pace he isn’t done spreading his story or dominance throughout the NHL.
This is for you Michelle!

Two weeks ago the Philadelphia Eagles were supposed to use their 11 draft picks to catapult themselves back to the top of the NFC. After weeks of speculation Andy Reid and Co. had the chips available to land a true #1 receiver in the form of Chad Johnson, Roy Williams or Anquan Boldin didn’t they?
Today we wrap up our First Annual NFL Mock Draft and I must say I’ve had a blast. I’m sure the first round won’t pan out like this; with Miami signing #1 pick OT Jake Long yesterday I’m already in the hole. How about the Vikings giving up a first rounder to the Chiefs and meeting the $30 million in guaranteed money for DE Jared Allen. I’m far from a draft expert and from what I seen and heard so are a lot of others. I just wanted to add something to the site and since everyone and their mother does a mock draft, why not us.
We’ll wrap it up today with San Francisco, Green Bay and the Super Bowl Champion New York Giants, so let get things going.
We are approaching the homestretch of the 2008 NFL Mock Draft. Today we have Seattle, Jacksonville, San Diego and Dallas selecting.
Let’s get rollin’ Seattle is on the clock…
Day 5 of the 2008 NFL Mock Draft is where things get interesting; the four teams selecting today could all use help in the secondary or at wide receiver. It will be interesting to see how this stanza plays out for Minnesota, Houston, Philadelphia and Tampa Bay.

Air McNair was a true professional his entire career
Steve McNair, third overall pick in the 1995 NFL Draft of the former Houston Oilers and the current quarterback of the Baltimore Ravens, has announced his retirement after 13 seasons.
The 2008 NFL Draft is once again approaching and for the second time in three years, there isn’t a consensus #1 pick. This year the Miami Dolphins hold the first choice after finishing the 2007 campaign with a 1-15 mark. The ‘Fins are in need of help just about everywhere starting at quarterback. With the future of defensive end Jason Taylor up in the air, incoming GM Bill Parcells has his work cut out for him.
For the next 12 days leading up to the Draft, yours truly will pick the first round according to team needs and potential. The Miami Dolphins are on the clock…
As college basketball teams across the country participate in their respective conference tournaments it serves as a reminder that March Madness is among us.
Before the Madness, yours truly takes a moment to reflect on the memory of Hank Gathers as it reminds us of how precious life is. Read more »
