Will lightning strike thrice?

So far the Shaq experiment has yet to bloom. I can understand Cleveland’s home loss against the Boston Celtics. While they raced to a 13-2 start, Boston’s bench was great in the middle rounds (especially in the third salvo). The addition of Rasheed Wallace, Marquis Daniels, and Sheldon Williams really brought something new to theaaa

PBA Power Rankings Week 2 and Around the Bayan

The 35th season of the PBA is barely 2 weeks old but we’ve seen more than a fair share action, drama, and controversy.  The past few years has seen the collegiate leagues, particularly the UAAP, make strides in surpassing the PBA in terms in popularity (no doubt helped by the media empire that is ABS-CBN),aaa

Not just a “FILLER” Team

The team has zero superstars what’s-so-ever… Talk N’ Text gave up five players for virtually nothing (although the team became handy as the “third party” in the Japeth Aguilar case)… Alex Crisano is their team captain. Who on earth will take Barako Bull seriously? If this was before the 2009-10 Philippine Cup, I’d probably sayaaa

The Snatcher was inserted at the halfway point of the opening salvo. Camera shots at his face say that he had a hateful aura. There is foam… or dripping saliva beneathaaa

Mock this… Noynoy Aquino for President, Jaworski for Vice

Our mock election is over… and mock this… based from 124 voters, for the betterment of Philippine sports, people favor Noynoy Aquino as the President. Jaworski finished second in the ballot, so I nominate him for the vice presidency. Kris Aquino finished 3rd, so she should at least be in the cabinet of her brother.aaa
