March Madness: Whose NOT going to Win

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008

While everyone is trying to tell you who is going to win the Big Dance, the Sportsblahg is going to take a different stance and tell you the teams that are NOT going to win the tournament. Granted 64 teams won’t will (well, 63 now), but the Sportsblahg is comfortable that the following teams will […]

My parting thoughts after watching the championships are pretty simple ones: Basketball is awesome no matter where it is played. The men’s and women’s championship games in the Mountain West Conference were both slugfests between teams that left it all on the court. It’s amazing to think that next week, these teams will likely get […]

In the beginning with these conference tournaments, there’s more basketball than you can handle (4 to 5 games from noon to midnight). But as the tournament goes deeper the number of games shrink, and that leaves you with the ultimate question, “what does one do with his/her time while in Vegas”?
Well, there are the obvious […]

The Sportsblahg is live and on location for all of your enjoyment from beautiful Las Vegas, Nevada, home of the Mountain West Conference championships. Through contacts of mine that are big time, I’ve been able to enjoy much of the basketball (both men’s and women’s) here in Las Vegas over the last week, and I’ve […]

The Hot List: Fields Open (In Hawaii)

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Week 2 of the LPGA tour and FINALLY the hotness comes out!! Despite the fact that we had co-champions this week (a hot list FIRST), don’t be fooled because the hotness was in full effect this week, probably because it was warm in Hawaii (as opposed to EVERYWHRE else).

Since I am partial to the East, I figured we’d start with them both. You may be asking, “Why not be partial to the west, since you’re the west coast fan?”. Well truth is I’m a transplant, and though I enjoy watching the A’s, Giants, Dodgers and Angels. I can’t deny that my first two […]

MLB Season Preview: The American League East

Thursday, February 21st, 2008

As many websites, newspapers, magazines and talk show hosts will try and tell you every little detail about what will make a World Series champion this year, we here at the SportsBlahg wanted to get in on the act. But while most people will give you minute details (i.e. The battle for the 5th starter […]

The Hot List: SBS Open at Turtle Bay

Monday, February 18th, 2008

Well it was the first official week of the hot list and it wasn’t much to right home about. But it certainly was a good week for Annika Sorenstam who came back to not only win the event, but win the “hotness” this week on the hot list:

Using Sports To Predict Politics

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

With the Super Bowl looming and Super Tuesday just a few days after that, I think it’s time for the Sportsblahg to dive in and give you the hardcore facts that would put even an ESPN statistician to shame. The comparison: Party winner in a presidential election in which there is no incumbent candidate (based […]
