North Dakota State? Harvard? The Upsets Have Begun

March 20, 2014 By Nick A.

Well, there’s two ways I look at today. 1) I’m definitely glad I just chose regional winners and never filled out a whole bracket. 2) The upsets have begun and this is what makes the NCAA Tournament so great! I would’ve never thought number 12 Harvard would have beaten 5th seed Cincy, but number 12 […]

Wrigley Field Is Turning 100. Please Win Something For It Cubbies

March 20, 2014 By Nick A.

I’m not really sure why I chose to use this painful photo of a Cubs player colliding with a catcher at the plate. Maybe because the pain somewhat symbolizes what Wrigley has had to endure over the past century. Wrigley Field was built in 1914, so this year marks it’s 100 years in existence. Sadly […]

Listen To Bo, Russell Wilson. He Knows Everything. No, Really, Listen

March 18, 2014 By Nick A.

If you’re a kid from the 80s, then you knew to listen to Bo Jackson. Why? Because Bo Knows everything. EVERYTHING. Russell Wilson is only 25, so I’ll cut him some slack if has no idea what I’m talking about. Unless you’ve been under a rock or you’re un-American and hate football, you’ll know that […]

Auburn Basketball Hires Hellboy, I Mean, Bruce Pearl

March 18, 2014 By Nick A.

And I say that in the most respectable way possible. I guess when I look back at this photo of him from the Memphis Flyer, I just see Hellboy in the slightly, darker Auburn orange. I don’t want to, I just do. Bruce Pearl, the former men’s basketball coach at Tennessee is the type of […]

Ah! March Madness Begins Today & I Didn’t Finish My Bracket

March 18, 2014 By Nick A.

It’s not like I completely forgot, but things were just a tad bit hectic trying to get the blog rolling and… okay, nevermind. No excuses, play like a champion. I know. I’m gonna shoot from the hip here and since the First Four started today, I’m going to go ahead and at the very least […]

Raiders & Browns Have Interest In Texans’ Schaub

March 17, 2014 By Nick A.

It looks like the Houston Texans actually have some teams interested in the declining Matt Schaub. Rumors have swirled that both the Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns have expressed interest in the veteran quarterback, and why not. Those are probably the top two places declining quarterbacks go to end their careers. Right now, I’m not […]

Did Steve Smith Make The Right Decision To Sign With The Ravens?

March 16, 2014 By Nick A.

When you have the talent, experience and accolades like an athlete of Steve Smith’s caliber, you’d think he’d have your pick of almost any team out there when you became a free agent. And it seemed like he had a handful of championship caliber teams to pick from such as the reigning Super Bowl champs […]

So Who Does The Mailman Like To Watch Play On TV?

March 14, 2014 By Nick A.

I have no idea how I didn’t hear about this until this afternoon, but whatever. Better late than never and I didn’t have a blog in February. Sue me. Anyways, Hall of Famer Karl Malone apparently admitted during All-Star weekend that he only watches about “10 or 12” players in the NBA nowadays and one […]

First! Yes, We’ve Started A Sports Blog. Aren’t You Just Excited!?

March 14, 2014 By Nick A.

I know what you’re thinking, “oh, fantastic, another sports blog. Yay.” No really, I know ’cause I’m a mind reader. Don’t close this page. Good. Anyways, we here at SportsLingo (we meaning me), thought that if our readers are already here trying to understand and learn more sport terminologies, then why should they go somewhere […]
