Will Cheer For Haggis

By oddJoe ⋅ May 13, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

This has to be the bestest, most excitingest cheerleader news of the week: The Scottish Rockettes, the cheer squad for the Scottish Phoenix Honda Record Rocks, is holding tryouts next month. This is why we love the Internet.

So, aside from the obvious head-spinning revelations that Scotland has a pro basketball team and they have a […]

One Bedeviled Team: Tampa Bay Devil Rays

By oddJoe ⋅ February 6, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

If you’ve ever wondered whether or not there is a sports Hell, just travel to Tropicana Field in Tampa, Florida. The Devil Rays were started in 1998, and in the eight years since the team has yet to post a winning record. Rays fans were treated to a 70 win season a couple years ago, […]

Curse-less Fans Still Swear By They Team: Boston Red Sox

By oddJoe ⋅ February 6, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

You have to hand it to those Boston fans; they stuck by their BoSox for seventy years waiting for that damn curse to be broken. Now, of course, they expect their team to win, or at least beat those damn Yankees who stole away Johnny D. Red Sox Nation, we salute you.

This Team Is For The Birds: Baltimore Orioles

By oddJoe ⋅ February 6, 2006 ⋅ Post a comment

So you think you’re team is bad? How about those Orioles fans, whose team hasn’t posted a winning season since 1997, the year they lost to the Indians in the AL Championship Series. Plus, there was that whole Palmeiro-on-steroids deal last year. But Baltimore plays in one Hell of a nice ballpark, Tom Clancey is […]

Blues Up For Sale: Buyer Beware

By oddJoe ⋅ December 28, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

Rumor has it that Wal-Mart familias Bill and Nancy Laurie have found a buyer for their pathetic hockey team, the St. Louis Blues. The story has it that Andrew Appleby, a former Detroit Pistons executive, has formed an investment group interested in buying the Blues. I hope he didn’t decide to buy after looking at […]

Colts Fans Demand Manning’s Chicken Dancing

By oddJoe ⋅ November 27, 2005 ⋅ Post a comment

The Indianapolis Colts are looking to go undefeated this year and win their first Super Bowl since 1971. For all the low-down on Peyton Manning, Edgerrin James, and Marvin Harrison, you can check out their official Web site. It seems fairly packed with news and information and has a pretty decent cheerleader section, but it […]

Red Wings Site Has The Cups And The Octopus

The Detroit Red Wings launched an updated version of their team Web site for the new season, and it looks like they fully used all the time off during the lockout. The site is very deep with content, both current and historical, including, of course, a recap of all 10 Stanley Cup championships. And if […]
