Is Signing Your Fancy-Pants Draft Pick Something You Might Be Interested In?

By David Raposa | Published: August 27, 2009
Let me set the scene for you.  You’re an up and coming sports franchise that’s coming off an awful, terrible year.  Flop after flop after flop.  Maybe not flops as bad as Popeye or Ishtar, but close enough to give you some palpitations and night sweats — something like Jade or Silver, let’s say.  Real stinkeroos. But [...]

By David Raposa | Published: August 11, 2009
Remember when the Denver Broncos traded Jay Cutler to the Chicago Bears?  And everyone thought he was really immature and a headcase?  And maybe they still think that, and wonder what the hell Chicago’s thinking?  Yeah!  Now that the NFL season’s about to start, the fine folks here at Jockish thought it’d be great to see [...]

The Soft Bigotry of Heightened Aggression

By Matt Cibula | Published: February 4, 2009
TMQ admits, he just doesn’t understand.

Feeling Kinda Turturro

By David Raposa | Published: January 23, 2009
Jockish has learned that "Transformers" star John Turturro (currently featured in an illuminating ad campaign for Heineken Beer — watch out, Budweiser frogs!) was also being considered for a series of ads promoting the 2009 NFL playoffs and Super Bowl XLIII.  While these promos were (sadly) never made, we’ve gotten our hands on the script for the Super Bowl spot, [...]

How Do The Lions Sleep Tonight?

By David Raposa | Published: October 16, 2008
Since most of you think of me as a basketball personality, you probably think I’m going to talk about the dismissal of my colleague Elgin Baylor from his long-time position as the leader of the Los Angeles Clippers front office. You would be wrong. First of all, the Clippers will always be a joke no [...]

Playing Favre-rits

By David Raposa | Published: September 1, 2008
It’s like watching the great Rodin sculpt his masterpiece statue The Thinker.  Brett Favre barks out the snap count, takes the ball from beneath the center’s meaty sweat-stained haunches, glides back three steps with a gazelle’s effortless lope, deftly rolls towards the sidelines like a Stealth bomber in Baghdad, and with child-like abandon lets fly [...]

Gilbertology Volume 0

By Matt Cibula | Published: September 28, 2007
Hey there people, it’s your boy Gilbert “Agent Zero” Arenas. Everybody thinks of me as just an All-Star basketball player and world-class blogger, and frankly I don’t blame people for that.
