On August 7th, 2006, Sports Illustrated writer Stewart Mandel wrote an article titled Bomar scandal will rock Sooners in 2006 and beyond, referring to the car dealership Big Red Sports and Imports, and the employment of Rhett Bomar. How prophetic of him. At the time everyone hated Big Red Sports and Imports.
When the pairing of Netflix instant queue and the the new Xbox 360 dashboard was announced, I was more then a little excited. I have never had the Netflix subscription service, though I did subscribe to the Blockbuster plan which I thoroughly enjoyed, so I knew what to expect.

Today at 5pm CST the Oklahoma City will have the name of their new team officially announced. Too bad I just announced it early. In this picture from the NBA Store shows what the new logo will look like. Like me you are probably saying “Surely this is for the non-existent WNBA team or is there to throw people off of the real logo design.” Because of the few slip ups that have happened on Read more…

Not since Michael Vick’s dog Boom-Boom won back-to-back Atlanta dog fighting championships has one man or beast lived up to the hype of Michael Phelps. Winning eight Olympic gold medals is impressive, but to do it in one Olympics is simply amazing. Jason Zimdars, a local celebrity, said “Wow that is neat, did you hear Brett Favre got traded?” when asked about the feat. Phelps had everyone watching the Olympics this year. They wanted to Read more…
