Hipsters Invade The NBA

[LESS INFO] 0 VIEWS | ADDED 02:55:31 05/17/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com I want to start the show off with a philosophical question, at what point do you become too much of a hipster? Like I appreciate the skinny jeans, goofy shirt, with big rimmed glasses look but, Russell Westbrook , don’t you think when you start looking like Steve Urkel you might be taking this hipster thing in the wrong direction . You ready for things to get awkward? Are you ready for things to get really awkward... [Deadspin - Charles Barkley Shake Weight] I know that Washington Nationals young phenom Bryce Harper is still learning how to play in the big leagues but let me give you a tip. When you smash your bat against the wall and it comes back and cuts your eye so that you bleed everywhere , you should clean that up because its not cool to get your ass kicked by your own bat. I did some quick calculations before I started the show. Do you know the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky, played for 21 professional seasons? Based on an 82 game schedule with half of those games being on the road, that is a total of 861 games away from his family. Do you know who benefited the most from that time away from his kids? Us. [Paulina Gretzky - Bathing Suit] And any guy with a cellphone camera.

Don’t Be Hatin’ Metta World Peace Was Just Celebrating

Welcome to RideThePine.com Did you knownow that Los Angeles Lakers Forward Metta World Peace won the J. Walter Kennedy Citizenship Award last year? Probably, not going back-to-back on this one. I’m not sure what is more puzzling, Ron Artest’s violent elbow hit on James Harden or his reaction on Twitter. “I just watched the replay again...Oooo..My celebration of the dunk really was too much...Didn’t even see James....Omg...Looks bad. Looks bad? No, it was bad. Don’t give me this crap that you were just celebrating. I mean really, who celebrates with the elbows swinging? Its hard for me to continue calling Ron Artest, Metta World Peace, when he physically tried to decapitate someone with his elbows in a way that would make Macho Man Randy Savage proud. He’s just lucky he didn’t injury Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboats ’ larynx.. I will spare you the World “Not So” Peaceful puns and give you what should be Ron Artest’s new name, Elbow Angry Pants. At what point will New England Patriots fans turn on their quarterback Tom Brady . What is this overgrown paperboy look? Even Gisele is laughing and pointing at him - look what I did to him, haha. I wish I had a better name for this but let’s call this guy “Loser of the Week.” Dude has front row courtside NBA tickets with a really attractive date and he isn’t paying attention to either and than, WHAM! Basketball to the dome. What makes this guy a complete idiot is that he goes back to texting, like he didn’t learn a lesson. If you were the victim of domestic abuse, what would be the first thing you do? Tweet about it, duh? Deion Sanders and his ex-wife are going through a bitter divorce and he posted on twitter that she “jumped” him followed by a picture of Deion and his kids filling out police reports. How low on the scumbag meter do you have to be to pull a move like this to try and sway public opinion on twitter. Embarrassing.

Bizarro World Sports Week

[LESS INFO] 1 VIEWS | ADDED 16:39:09 04/20/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com I don’t know why, but these trick shot videos really annoy me. Probably because of the Mountain Dew -like music in the background and the fact that I still don’t believe its real. And to be honest, I wish I nothing to do all day but come up with dumb stuff. At times things in the sports world just don’t make any sense, like you are living in a complete bizarro world. For example this week, the Miami Dolphins signed a former accountant who hasn’t played football since high school to play tight end. Why? Because he had great 40 time and vertical jump at a workout. You know who else had great numbers at pre-draft workouts, Mike Mamula . Oh you probably, never heard of him. Exactly. SMU hired Larry Brown as their next Men’s basketball coach. I would love to be on those recruiting trips. So coach, I really want to play for someone who will be there for my four years. You plan on staying, right. Uh-huh. Really? When former backup Minnesota Vikings quarterback Donovan McNabb was asked if he should be in the Hall of Fame, he answered “Absolutely,” wait no “not.” Yes, McNabb had 11 reall good years in Philly. But when I think of Hall of Fame I don’t envision someone who vomited/hyperventilated in the last drive of his only Super Bowl appearance. Did you see the video of Phiadelphia Sixers forward Andre Iguodala pulling the chair away from Lou Williams right before he sat down . That just isn’t funny. Thats your teammate, that you are about to embark on a playoff run with. And you almost injured him, ass wipe.

Philadelphia is Better Than Pittsburgh

Welcome to RideThePine.com One of the most exciting and lopsided NHL opening round playoff series is the 3-0 lead that the Philadelphia Flyers have over the Pittsburgh Penguins . I know I’m bias growing up a Philadelphia sports fan but I’ve always looked at Pittsburgh is just a second rate city. Is anyone really excited that they are traveling to Pittsburgh? For example, Pittsburgh's Hulk Hogan is not Philly's REAL Hulk Hogan . I’ve been debating this topic with some fans on RideThePine.com but New York Mets catcher Josh Thole was not tricked by the Philadelphia Phillies Jimmy Rollins . This is not the “old foul ball trick” that most sports websites are going nuts about. Nope its none of that. Josh Thole is just an idiot. Rollins puts his hand up letting the dude know that he should ease up and no need to slide into second. Rollins has been doing these sportsmanship crap for years. Rollins looks even shock that Thole starts just running back to the base. The trick is that everyone over estimated Josh Thole’s intellectual horsepower. Can I just have a moment to laugh at Bobby Petrino ? I know we are just two weeks into the season but it will be hard to find a slide that is worse than Boston Red Sox catcher Kelly Shoppach ’s slide into second base . Some of you might be waiting for a sweet Willie Mays Hayes reference but I think Shoppach just hit the dirt harder than Billy Mays . When you’re dead, they call it a dirt nap. I should’ve just stuck with the Major League reference.

Peyton Manning Made The Wrong Decision Going To Denver

[LESS INFO] 13 VIEWS | ADDED 22:47:27 03/20/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com Peyton Manning is the new quarterback of the Denver Broncos . We’ll tell you why the Broncos were the worst team for Peyton to choose. Suspend disbelief for a second and imagine yourself as a 36 year-old quarterback with a slight speech impediment and a neck that has had more surgeries than Frankenstein . If you were going to pick a team that you wanted to play for and had the best chance to win a championship, you would probably look for two things; a good defense and some offensive weapons, preferably a badass running back. I think most high-brow NFL Analyst would agree with that assessment. Because with a neck like Stephen Hawkins you probably can’t carry a team on your shoulders anymore. So why in the blue hell did Peyton Manning decide to sign with the Denver Broncos? Because compared to some of the other teams pursing Manning, they just don’t stack up. Lets do something that I hate doing on this show, look at the facts. You know that good defense we’re looking for, you know, that ones that can make even Alex Smith look good. Last season in points allowed, the Broncos were 24th in the league. The other teams that were interested in Manning; the San Francisco 49ers were 2nd, and this one surprised me, the Tennessee Titans were 8th. How about some of those offensive weapons... Well the Titans don’t have anyone great for Manning to throw to, but have arguably the best running back in the league in Chris Johnson . I know, last year he sucked. The 49ers have the best tight end in the league in Vernon Davis and a top 5 running back in Frank Gore . The Broncos, well, they have Willis McGahee . Which would be cool if you were picking a fantasy football team...in 2005. The best reason that Peyton gave on his decision to sign with Denver, was that he felt "comfortable" there. What does that mean? Does John Elway hold you at night, stroking the scars on your neck? Now the conversation turns to Tim Tebow . John Elway mentioned that trading him is a viable option but I don’t understand why the Broncos so anxious to get rid of him? Manning is one blind-sided hit away from having his head disconnected and rolling down the 50 yard line. I don’t know why Elway has always been so down on Tebow, maybe he’s jealous that Tebow’s smile isn't as horse-ike or gummy. The option that makes the most sense for Tebow is Jacksonville which means he’ll be working for this guy, Mustache March winner for the past three years, Shad Khan . I hope Peyton enjoys the last years of his career riding off into the sunset and exiting in the first round of the playoffs. Because we all deal with the choices we make...oh, what am I talking about I doing a web show for about 5 people in my basement.

2012 March Madness Bracket Busters

[LESS INFO] 5 VIEWS | ADDED 03:15:39 03/14/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com Its bracket busting time. For all of the experts and for the person in your office who thinks they know everything about March Madness, here’s a news flash. Joe Lunardi’s wig has as good a chance as anyone to pick a winning bracket. But we will give you some tips on how you can survive the bracket busters. Lets get a couple of facts straight, only once has all number one seeds in the tournament actually made it to the Final Four , that was in 2008. #1 Seed Syracuse losing starting center Fab Melo, because of eligibility requirements, became an easy choice to not make it to even the Elite Eight. I've got Vanderbilt beating them in the Sweet Sixteen, mostly because I can’t go against school spirit that consists of sports bras and body paint . Can we go back to Fab Melo for a second. How much of a jerk must you be to have your own school rule you ineligible right before the biggest event of your season? I’m guessing pretty big! If you are still picking brackets the way you did back in the 90s, its time to start thinking differently. Since the "One and Done" requirement came into effect back in 2006 all the rules have changed. I just told you that the only time EVER that four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four was in 2008. Twice since that rule went into affect has there been Final Fours with NO #1 seeds. In fact, a #1 overall seed has not won the championship since Duke back in 2001. So you can rule out Kentucky. How can you pick them anyway? Look at their star player Anthony Davis’ unibrow . How can you trust the mental toughness of a player that can’t recognize how terrible a unibrow looks or comes from a family that openly supports it. Thats his mom. Here is a little strategy when picking those opening round games. If you are not picking a 8th ranked team or higher to make it to the Sweet Sixteen than take a gamble and pick against them in the opening round. For example I don’t have Temple making it to the Sweet Sixteen so I’m picking the USF/CAL play-in game as an upset? Most people wont pick a play-in game winner anyway so if things go my way, I could steal a point in the pool. You have to take some risks because playing it safe, doesn’t work. I normally try to pick at least one 4th, 5th, and 6th seed to lose in the opening round. Do you know the cool/trendy pick for National Champion this year. Mizzou . And when I say cool, I mean like Lebron James wearing fake glasses cool, which means its not really cool because everyone is doing it. So don’t fall into that trap, although I got them making a run to the Final Four don’t be surprised if they lose to Marquette in the Elite Eight because of Buzz Williams dancing feet . So who do I got? Kentucky, Mizzou, Florida State , and North Carolina in the Final Four with the Tar Heals beating Kentucky to win the National Championship. Enjoy my favorite time of the year and good luck not busting your bracket.

Is A Bounty System Wrong?

[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 06:58:33 03/07/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com The beginning of March is traditionally a down time in sports. Baseball season hasn’t started, the NBA and NHL have yet to hit the stretch run and March Madness is still a few weeks out. So the headlines can be dominated by stories like whether NFL players are tackling too hard. That is what this debate over Greg Williams and the New Orleans Saints Bounty System really boils down to. And with all these ESPN specials, round table discussions and insight from anyone who had a cup of coffee with the Saints, that you would actually think they were cheating. If you haven’t heard how the bounty system works, here is an example. The Saints intentionally hurt Brett Favre and all of America sends $5 to that player as a thank you. No? How do I get my $5 back? The Saints would reward players with the biggest hits, interceptions, forced fumbles and reportedly knocking out specific players on the opposing team. I’ve got so many questions about the bounty program. Like, can you still collect the bounty even if you cause a penalty that costs your team the game? Do you owe money if you knock yourself out after delivering a hit? Does it have to be declared to the IRS? I don’t know how I feel about the bounties but by saying its wrong, that means I believe there is a way to tackle someone nicely. On the flip side, I don’t believe that head shots or tackles below the knees belong in the game and that is why players are severely fined for those types of hits. Can you imagine the logic, I just collected a 5 grand bounty for hurting Peyton Manning , but the league fined me $25 thousand. Damn, I'm out $20 grand! I understand that rewarding players that deliver knockout hits seems barbaric but isn’t the whole game of football. This episode is brought to you by 4inkjets.

Who Makes LaRon Landry’s Tassels?

[LESS INFO] 12 VIEWS | ADDED 05:53:21 02/26/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com Washington Redskins free agent safety LaRon Landry has spent the week on twitter showing off his ridiculous large biceps on twitter . I can exclusively report that Landry has been using the old Hulk Hogan formula to larger arms... Saying Your Prayers, Taking Your Vitamins, and Training Hard. What? Did you think I was going to say something else? I’ve got assets to protect people. Here is some free advice for LaRon Landry, maybe you should work on some speed drills. I understand that you play strong safety and your primary concern is stopping the run but you have 4 interceptions in 5 years. To give you some perspective, New England Patriots Defensive Tackle Vince Wilfork had two interceptions...last year. Get some speed and maybe a ball will hit you in the hands by accident because you happen to get to the right place at the right time. My one question for Landry is; who cuts the tassels into you t-shirts? Please tell me its you sitting at your locker with scissors! “I’ll look so damn sexy with these tassels.” Want to become instantly hated in West Virginia ? Dance on their basketball court to John Denver’s Take Me Home, Country Roads after beating them on their home court . Although Marquette’s head coach Buzz Williams apologized for the dancing, its pretty epic knowing that he almost made this student cry. Have you ever see a woman try so hard to get impregnated through eye contact? This hot Miami Heat fan stares down New York Knicks star Tyson Chandler. Have you ever seen a more embarrassing attempt to storm the court? If I was the commissioner of the Big East , I would put Seton Hall on probation for this. Not one person got through...well one person kind of got through. Do you now understand why former Boston Red Sox manager Terry Francona might’ve been distracted during the historic collapse in September? He spent most of that month trying to figure out if his twenty something alleged girlfriend was even good looking . Ben & Jerry’s in Boston has received a lot of backlash for creating a Jeremy Lin Lin-Sanity flavor that included pieces of fortune cookies. Do you find that offensive?

While New England Cries, Gronkowski Dances

[LESS INFO] 4 VIEWS | ADDED 09:51:36 02/07/12
Welcome to RideThePine.com Living in New England, a bunch of my friends and family members were so distraught after the New England Patriots loss to the New York Giants in Super Bowl 46 they were almost brought to tears. You know who wasn’t too upset. Rob Gronkowski . Ankle looks a 100% dude. Good thing you went all in on that hail mary...oh wait . When I first wrote this episode, I didn’t want to come off as bitter that the New York Giants won the Super Bowl. I was even going to call Eli Manning elite. But the more I watch the highlights the more I can’t not be bitter. I can’t do it. Here is my only compliment for the Giants and Eli Manning. They don’t make mistakes, and when they do make mistakes they never pay for it. They never pay for it. Lets look back through the timeline of New York Giants Super Bowl victories. 1990 NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers , they do the unthinkable and knock out Joe Montana . The Niners still dominated that game until an unbelievably rare Roger Craig fumble starts the Giants final drive which leads to a game winning field goal. The Super Bowl just a few days later, wide right by Scott Norwood. Giants are default Super Bowl Champions. 2007 NFC Championship game, Brett Favre makes one of the worst throws in football history throwing an interception in overtime that turns into a Giants field goal win. Super Bowl just a few days later, David Tyre’s helmet catch. Giants score touchdown, Default Super Bowl. 2012 NFC Championship game, two fumbled punt returns by 49ers Kyle Williams lead to Giants score and a trip to the Super Bowl. Now think back to all of the mistakes the Giants made in Super Bowl 46. Giants burn two timeouts early in the second half, because they can’t get their stuff together. Never comes back to hurt them. They fumble three times, but don’t lose possession on any. Wes Welker , who never drops a pass, dropped the game clincher. Its like the whole Giants organization has a huge horseshoe up their ass. And to be clear, I’m not saying that the Patriots were the better team. Outside of a ten minute stretch when Tom Brady completed 16 straight passes, they played like poo. The Giants were the better team but they never WIN Super Bowls, they just find ways to not lose Super Bowls and become champions by default. And there is a difference. The one thing you have to be impressed with is the class the Giants show in victory, right Brandon Jacobs . Daddy, what’s decapitation? Although Gisele Bundchen wasn’t much better after being taunted by Giants fans, yelling out that “my husband can’t fucking throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time.” At least she was more upset than Gronk .

Welcome to RideThePine.com The sports event of the year, Super Bowl 46 featuring the New York Giants and New England Patriots , is upon us and we have your full preview...starting now. I’ve gone back and forth on who I think will win Super Bowl 46, but before we reveal our pick lets talk about a couple of things that I hope will happen. I hope New York Giants Quarterback Eli Manning has the most horrific game in the history of quarterbacks in the Super Bowl. His success is something I can’t describe. Like he kind of plays good when the teams needs him, but its really the defense that wins the game, but Eli throws a TD so everyone thinks its him but its really not. (His success is just as confusing as that sentence) I hope that not one of Gisele Bundchen’s friends or family waste a prayer on New England Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady . At the end of the day Tom Brady is Tom Brady; handsome, married to one of the most beautiful women in the world, has millions of dollars and plays a game for a living. So he might not win the big game. If you want to throw some prayers around, how about right here. This guy has only sold two of these amazing Beer, Wing, and Football shirts ...and I was one of the buyers. Expect Madonna to do something just completely insane. Like poop on stage. She is sick and tired of everyone talking about Lady Gaga and this is her chance to show every that she is the craziest pop singer around. As if sleeping with Dennis Rodman wasn't proof enough. Expect NBC to be completely obsessed with Rob Gronkowski and his injured ankle but it will be New England’s other tight end, Aaron Hernandez , who will have a bigger game. I hope the cameras catch Peyton Manning wearing a Bobby Heenan -like neck brace in a luxury suit. I hope there will be an E-Trade baby with spiky Jersey Shore hair or spay-tanned Snookie Orange . (Yes, that is a color) Did I already do my Madonna pooping joke... I hope NBC hires Marisol Gonzalez to be their sideline reporter . I hope Tiquan Underwood scores a touchdown so he can do the Kid N’ Play dance. I hope New York Giants Head Coach Tom Coughlin 's face melts off like he just opened the Arc of the Covenant . Ladies and Gentlemen, my pick for Super 46. New York Giants, 17. New England Patriots, 24. This episode is brought to you by 4inkjets.
