Those giant japanese hornets are honestly nothing like the Spartans. The 30 hornets are a: the attacking force, and b: utterly unstoppable in that battle. At the end, there will be more hornets alive than bees, probably by around 30. thousands of years of evolution have allowed native Japanese bees to stay hidden by giving them the ability to kill one giant hornet scout. those are probably not native bees, though, as Japanese honeybees don’t make much honey.

Mike Rice hire looks like a winner.
Mike Rice is completely insane. I played in a summer league agaisnt him while he was Robert Morris’ head coach and him and I were guarding each other and he was in full coach mode. Saying “Great Box Out!” “Like that move big man!” and other random coachspeak. Then at the end of the game someone on my team called a questionable foul and he went off and left the premises.
January 12th, 2012 at 8:43 AM

The cooks whole character is double entendre. The guys needs a PR person to sit him down and teach him how to handle questions like that.

He has the bloodline — his dad played at Duquense, drafted in NBA but never played. Coached Duquense and Youngstown St with some success. Mike had success at Robert Morris and made it one of the better teams on the NEC — he almost beat Nova as a #15 seed. I wish him the best at Rutgers, he pounded a severely overrated PItt squad.

Besides nearly pulling off the upset, he made a name for himself when he did what anyone watching the game wanted to do after seeing Nova get gifted horseshit call after call when he nearly left the floor in rage after another bailout call. Would have loved to have Rice coach my Dukes, but that ship has obviously sailed. Watching a few Blazers games on the League Pass preview, his old man “The Wild One” is a hoot to listen to when he gets riled up with some slight hints of a yinzer accent.

Mike Rice is completely insane.
In the year 2012, no right-minded person would coach anything above 5th grade basketball. Terrible stress, terrible ethos, terrible students of the game, terrible parents. People love the game more than anything putting all the pieces together. Guy’s probably a kook.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:04 AM

I have to watch HS basketball basketball on a nearly nightly basis for the last 11 years, and I can honestly say the talent level/level of play has declined DRASTICALLY.
I can’t stand watching the dribble/drive offense at the HS level. Three guards run the “weave” at the top of the key until one gets bored and either chucks a 3 pointer or drives to the hoop and throws some wild shot at the rim. It’s even more comical when girls teams run it.

My wife and I watched four shows we’ve never seen before last night in order to try to find some new stuff:
Whitney – God awful
Chelsea – wife turned it off after 10 minutes
House of Lies – supposedly a comedy. We laughed a couple times. Willing to give it a second episode
Luck – wife couldn’t make it more than 15 minutes. I watched the whole thing and wished I hadn’t.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:15 AM
This is false. The talent has never been greater.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:16 AM
the funniest part of the 1st episode was when the grandfather said a little girl in his grandson’s class looked like Shaq.

House of Lies is on SHO – Don Cheadle plays a Management Consultant
Luck is on HBO – Dustin Hoffman is the big name, but lots of people you’d know/remember. Pilot was convoluted and slow. Animal lovers wouldn’t have liked it either as they “show” a racing horse essentially snap its leg off and have to be put down.

I’ve seen a couple episodes of Workaholics and came away more annoyed than amused. not sure what it was about it, the characters seemed pretty obnoxious to me, just didn’t really do it for me.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:40 AM
I didn’t mind the breaking of the 4th wall so much, it’s difficult to pull off, but I could see better ways to do it on the show. pause, definition written on the screen, Cheadle narrating it, rather than breaking the 4th wall.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:41 AM
oh yea…it’s truly awesome. and plus they got nicky whelan to do a cameo, which is always brilliant.

The words “accidental drug overdose” always creep me out. Lessee, I “take drugs that aren’t good for my body, sometimes too many or in combo with other drugs and/or alcohol, and let’s see what happens?” Stupid way to die, IMHO.

January 12th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
Well aware of that, but had Stevens not knocked Lindros the fuck out in that Game 7, I really think the Flyers could have won the cup that year.
January 12th, 2012 at 9:46 AM
He’ll probably sit tonight in favor of an AHL call up (Erik Gustaffson).

Pretty sure Vlad was being sarcastic there. Komisarek best attribute is how good he is with the media. He definitely has a future in the media. I hope that future begins very, very soon because the whole ‘being an NHL player’ thing is not working out at the moment.
I can handle his lack of skill (slow, terrible with the puck on his stick) but his complete lack of awareness on the ice is what pushes me over the edge. Terrible pinches, chasing guys all over the defensive zone and losing his man while staring at the guy with the puck are his go-to moves.

snead is so underrated by today’s generation it’s not even funny.
he was like hogan except bigger and more athletic with 140* shoulder turn. he’s the only player hogan supposedly feared. if he had won a US Open in his career, he’d be first amongst jones, hogan, nicklaus and palmer on mount golfmore instead of simply in the mix. same with byron nelson if he didn’t retire early.

January 12th, 2012 at 11:22 AM
The more I think about it… shooting your age is really an incredible accomplishment. Even if you’re were a scratch golfer when you’re younger, shooting a 77 at the age of 77 is pretty damn impressive.
January 12th, 2012 at 11:23 AM
i bet tom watson takes home the shooting your age record in the next couple years.
January 12th, 2012 at 11:24 AM
I can remember when Slammin’ Sammy was the pro emeritus at The Greenbriar. You could walk in off the street, pony up the cash and get a lesson from him. Well, if you were a guest there, anyway.
January 12th, 2012 at 11:25 AM
reference?
One of the best callers his radio show ever had made reference to Sam Snead switching up his putting form when they outlawed standing over the ball (? – my retelling of this could be off a little).
It was in reference to Shaq refusing even attempt to shoot free throws under-handed in order to make himself more valuable at the end of games. This guy called in and listed all of the great athletes that had to change their game or did something different to make themselves better. The way he said Sam Snead was the funny part… you’ll probably have to listen for yourself.

That was this caller’s point. “whatever works, works!” Barry didn’t give a fuck, but Shaq and his thin skin didn’t want to be seen as being a pussy for shooting under-handed.

Hogan and Snead were great. Snead burned that Hogan the Ice Mon got turned into a cult figure despite Snead winning more. Hated that he didn’t get the US Open. Hogan hated that Snead got to play more at the end of their military time, hated how he played his country schtick.
Grew up in formative years in The Depression, along w/ Nelson.

I read somewhere that Pete Newell once offered to help Shaq with his shooting, and Shaq basically told him to fuck off.
For the record, Bobby Knight called Pete Newell the best coach he’d ever seen.

snead also hated that hogan was renowned for his work ethic and practice when he practiced just as much. he just had such a natural, smooth looking swing to go along with his personality everyone assumed he was a natural.
the more i get into the golf swing, the more and more i appreciate snead and nelson (hogan’s still my favorite tho). mac o grady said the ideal swing is 80% snead and 20% hogan.

The Hogan round was at Shady Oaks.
Here’s the photo. I believe it was at the first golf HOF induction. So it was before Woods joined the club.

jesus…snead was so flexible he could kick the top of a doorframe when he was in his 70′s.

Gary Player looks like such a bad ass in that picture. No way he didn’t land tons of tail. Especially when he’s hanging out with guys that looked like Nicklaus.

that’s seriously awesome. seriously…how is it possible that the guy with the biggest smile amongst the squire, the black knight and nicklaus is fucking ben hogan? AWESOME.

gary player is a badass.
he was a guest on a 30 minute show on bunker play that was the best half hour of golf instruction ive ever seen on TV.
the guys id love to just listen talk about golf for hours: trevino and gary player.

yeah they asked Hogan to speak at the event. Think about who was there. He thanked everybody and then said golf all starts at the roots, talked about Harry Vardon, then talked about the importance of the Vardon grip !!! People said it was the best lesson ever!

this has such a zapruder-esque quality to it, but man, the ball is on his target line the entire time.

I own an original print of that, it’s framed above my fireplace. Seriously.
If I recall, that was taken by the Masters house photog and released, available for sale through them. I gave my Dad one of Jack from their collection.
