We’re writing about anything other than another dumbass Jake Paul fight in this week’s SSM.
Manny Machado, got himself the bag Eleven for 350, waive all those green flags Staying with the Padres, not going anywhere Sending him a DM now to ask if he will share
Crazy week in basketball, college and the pros Sixers and the Celtics is the first place that we’ll go Jayson Tatum hit a dagger with 1.3 left Embiid’s shot went in, but late, 70 foot heft
Earlier this week, Kings and Clippers scored a bunch Went to two OTs, almost played ’til brunch Three hundred fifty-one points were scored between the two Kings won in a thriller, Clippers were subdued
In the college game, Iowa just did it all Huge comeback for both teams, hero basketball The men came back from 13 with 1:34 left Caitlin Clark a buzzer beater, Indiana effed
We are living in a post Super Bowl/current NBA All-Star Weekend era, which makes SSM a little more of a wild card these days.
A very special birthday, happened on Friday A guy who played a little ball while in the NBA Baseball not so much, but brave enough to try Michael Jordan’s 60, makes me want to cry
Tiger made a cut this week, the Genesis Open He won’t win the event though, dry spell won’t be broken Was able to walk all four days, a good physical sign Maybe a few more tournaments to get things back in line
Arizona/Florida, batting cages pop Pitchers running to first base, off the mound they hop Hope springs eternal, everybody has a chance Spring Training has started, baseball fans will dance
Speaking of Spring Training, Jacob deGrom is back Hurt after about an hour, got right back on track When the guy is healthy he’s as good as it gets But if he breathes a certain way his body’s on the fritz
Rough week for Purdue, on the basketball floor Former number one has lost three of their last four Top ranking in college hoops seems to be a curse Crimson Tide lost this week too, put the top dogs in a hearse
If you don’t have the internet, you may not have heard that LeBron James broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar’s all-time NBA scoring record last night.
An incredible feat of both talent and longevity, Kareem was attendance in the third quarter when LeBron heroically rose above Kenrich Williams and hit a jump shot that put him over the previous record of 38,387 career points.
That’s a lot of points. We wanted to put in perspective what kind of numbers we’re talking about here:
Incredibly, after all these points, he’s only won one season scoring title. That’s the same number of times he returned to Cleveland to bring the Cavs a championship.
LeBron’s played for three different franchises, the Cavs, Heat, and Lakers. If you divide his total career points (38,390) and divide it by the number of teams he’s played for, you get 12,796…or the same number of teammates LeBron has traded away in his career.
LBJ has deservedly made the All-Star game 19 out of his 20 NBA seasons; that’s an astonishing 95% mark…that matches the same percentage of all of us that laughed at the “Maybe It’s Me” tweet he sent last week when the Lakers didn’t go out and grab Kyrie Irving.
The King has won four NBA championships in his incredible career. If you multiply his career points by the amount of championships won, you get 153,560…or the same amount of rings he promised to bring to Miami during that introduction party he had with Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.
This is obviously a huge accomplishment for LeBron, who has done plenty of dumb stuff to make fun of him about as well as great things to be admired. Times like these where career achievements are met are just the perfect vehicle to make fun of him for it all.
The Super Bowl is set, we all know that. But what else happened in sports this week other than the Eagles and Chiefs advancing? SSM knows, and now you will too.
Streep, Denzel, Robert De Niro, best actors today A new entry has joined the group, also plays in LA A small slap of the wrist, felt like a broken arm LeBron threw a hissy fit, keeps adding to his charm
More NBA antics, a bad repeat offender Bad boy of the league Steph Curry, big fine money spender Ejected from the game on Thursday, a disgusting act Threw his mouthpiece on the ground, we all should feel attacked
Don’t look up to athletes kids, they’ll always let you down Stetson Bennett had a night, then acted like a clown A few too many Miller Lites and things can go awry One month you’re a champion, the next you’re the bad guy
Phil was feeling feisty, on the internet Cracking jokes between placing million dollar bets Fashion trends and travel plans were in his stand up set The internet did their job though, people don’t forget
The NFL Playoffs are officially set. There were other sports happenings as well; and it’s all here in this week’s SSM.
Can only start in one place, and that’s Damar Hamlin A terrible event to start, but something good begins The response took our breaths away, honors and donations It showed the power of kindness has no limitations
AFC and NFC, both top seeds are set Philly and Kansas City, two offenses like jets Both great quarterbacks, defenses are strong too Chiefs would be and old story, but Eagles would be new
On the other end, those Chicago Bears Worst team in the league, falling down the stairs Took their 14th loss of the season on the chin But got the number one pick, so kind of a win
Hottest team in the NBA, place your Finals bets Won 13 of 14, those pesky Brooklyn Nets The boys are on a roll more than halfway through the season Surely no way anything will change, no way for no reason
Some Thursday thoughts for the boys and girls as we reflect back on 2022.
We had the completely original idea to recap our top 10 stories of the year.
A sincere thank you to all who check out any of our stuff, please continue to do so. For those that don’t, we have an idea for your New Year’s resolution.
The sports and pop culture worlds were both crushed at the completely surprising split of super couple Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley back in February.
This one we’re still enjoying as the year comes to a close. Jim Irsay went full Jim Irsay and hired a guy who played for him over a decade ago with zero non-high school coaching experience. We wanted to hop on the train and fill out the remainder of Mr. Irsay’s dream coaching staff.
This blog was written in May 2020, and was still our eighth most read in 2022. That’s a compliment to both how many times Russ makes all of us cringe and how great you readers are that you keep coming back to this blog.
Remember in October when the human version of Mr. Burns Daniel Snyder threatened to take down the other 31 NFL owners? That was great, and scared us into some serious confessions.
We all deserve a second chance in life, right? Kyle Jenner certainly believes so, as she renamed her son after a month and a half or so trail period of naming him “Wolf.” Ever the helpers we are, we put together some names we thought might fit. We really liked “Skip TheLine Jenner” but that’s just us.
Amidst a hurricane tornado of controversy (non of his own doing) Steve Nash was finally freed of his duties of having to coach the Brooklyn Nets last month. We used an AI generator to create his cover letter for his next job.
4. Heard vs. Depp, the Shit Show Trail of the Century
News exploded in January that the Carolina Panthers were bringing in former Giants head coach and fashion icon Ben McAdoo as their offensive coordinator. It didn’t really work, but was fun while it lasted.
You guys love reading these, and we love writing them. This yearly blog is always up there on page views; making dumb jokes about each jersey is something we all enjoy.
1. The Over Hits on Calvin Ridley Suspensions (0.5)
Our top-read blog in 2022 was an easy bet: Calvin Ridley was suspended in March for gambling on NFL games. We did some serious journalism and analyzed his Twitter account to find if we missed any signs before his gambling habit was discovered.
Wow, what a look back at the year that was. We truly went to some interesting and dumb places together, didn’t we? If you enjoy what we do, tell a friend to tell a friend.
In all seriousness, we truly appreciate your eyes and readership. On to 2023, where maybe Russell Wilson won’t be such a goober.
Folks, we did it again. Another week in the books and more sports than we could handle. Our latest SSM is here to review it all.
College football playoff, final four is set Ohio State and Georgia, could we see an upset? Other side of the bracket, Michigan vs. TCU Sad we only have three more college games to go through
Potential Super Bowl preview, a game all wanted Dolphins and 49ers, two teams deep bonded It wasn’t meant to be, you see, game just fell quite short Both QBs ended up the injury report
Jacob deGrom, your newest Texas Ranger AL West hitters are about to be in danger Big hit for the Mets, another big arm gone Had so many off years, Mets fans want to stay on
Jose Alvarado! We don’t know him either Thirty eight on Sunday, didn’t take a breather Undrafted to bucket getter, a great sports story Pelicans are basking in some rarely found glory
The only thing better than the food during Thanksgiving week is the sports. Feast week in college basketball, rivalry week in college football, and more, all in this week’s Sunday State of Mind.
Feast week brings the upsets, in college basketball Early in the season, and number one did fall Friday night the Cyclones upset UNC Iowa State resumé building early victory
After all these years, feeling like big brother Recently there seems to be a bigger, better, other Two years in a row now, and they’re feeling great Two straight wins for Michigan over Ohio State
A rare win for the Raiders, and even better yet Josh Jacobs set all the records that ever could be set Over 300 yards between rushing and receiving Every time he touched the ball, defenders he was leaving
A NBA homecoming, loving all around Ben Simmons came back to play in his old stomping grounds His favorite fans in Philly, I’m sure it felt so warm He had a double double so at least he did perform
It’s a cold hard fact that the sports week is coming to an end. We review in this week’s SSM.
Let’s start with the world’s game, AKA jogo bonito The World Cup is finally back, a fact you cannot veto Always great to see the best footballers, smooth like butter The only question left; do you say it Qatar or Qatar?
Cowboys and the Vikings, game of the week potential Result of this game is without question consequential Thought it would be a good one, battle of some studs Cowboys blew them out, Vikings may be duds
Patriots and Jets, setting football back Decades with this one, neither team on track Pats won on a walk off, a punt return touchdown Jets punted 10 times, offense full of clowns
It is time we talk about the best NBA team These guys just come out every night with a head full of steam They’ve won six straight, are very hot, doing some crazy things Our current favorite team is the Sacramento Kings
A brutal crash and burn for Tennessee football Big tumble for a team that was just standing so tall Lost their starting quarterback, and the game by 25 Any playoff chances for them are no longer alive
It’s that time of year! For the third consecutive season, the fashion department here at UDS has been called upon to make stupid jokes about the latest versions of the NBA “City Edition” jerseys. Let’s get right down to business.
Brooklyn Nets – just like last years, using the “Friends” font makes this jersey dumb…but there’s not much the Nets could’ve done that’s worse than what’s going on with that organization right now.
Oklahoma City Thunder – this poor organization has never done this well; so not much to expect here. Much like the Pistons, they should just do the Supersonics uniforms.
Orlando Magic – while these aren’t a huge jump from their normal ‘fits, the fact that they didn’t incorporate orange this year like they have in the past is a win.
Portland Trailblazers – these are like the away jerseys of the Suns jerseys, and should be included in the Spurs lawsuit. Big year for teal in the NBA.
Sacramento Kings 2022-23 Nike NBA City Editing Uniform – a tribute to Fans and City
