blaxabbath - March 28, 2017March 30, 2017

Lemme guess - your bracket is busted and you absolutely hate at least one team going to the final four? If not, eat one. Just be quiet and start thinking about how you're going to use your bracket pool earning because you're in an elite group and you know how this country

Team Previews: Pac-12 in March

blaxabbath - March 15, 2017March 15, 2017

For those of you not residing on the best coast, you may not have seen much Pac-12 basketball this year. With a POS commissioner who thinks it's good that the conference tournament championship game started at 8pm PST, it's hard to blame anyone for not knowing much more about Pac-12 roundball

Libertine, Chatham Arch. 2:47 am, February 28th, 2017 Stepping in from the biting cold where his head was exposed to the incessant rain that surely planned to torment him through this week's work trip, James Cook could only imagine how much of a glowing red beacon his balding head would be at a place like

2016 Quotables – Super Bowl (Results)

blaxabbath - February 10, 2017February 10, 2017

Like most blax #content, 2016 Quotables is going out weakly, sadly, and off schedule. But for that, as with all things, I blame the Falcons. But I'm not going to be sad that 2016 Quotables -- one of the few highlights of my 2016 NFL interest -- is over, I'm going

2016 Quotables – Super Bowl (Submissions)

blaxabbath - February 7, 2017February 6, 2017

Ugh - this was pretty much the game Quotables has been dreading all season. Is there humor in it? I don't know -- you be the judge.

2016 Quotables – Pro Bowl Weekend (Results)

blaxabbath - February 3, 2017February 3, 2017

I, uhhhh, here's the latest Quotables results. Sorry for the lack of energy here -- I went to the Oregon State game at Gill Coliseum last night and, OSU's tantric game pace plus the residual excitement of the ~1,200 strong in attendance at the game, had me leaving there ready to

2016 Quotables – Pro Bowl Weekend (Submissions)

blaxabbath - January 31, 2017January 31, 2017

Man oh man -- the NFL is cracking DOWN on Pro Bowl skills competition videos. Guess they want people focused on on the touch football game instead. Good for them, bad for Quotables as these feel like some real bottom of the barrel visuals. HOWEVA, if anyone can turn shit

blaxabbath - January 27, 2017January 27, 2017

That's it! No more multi-game weeks ahead! Just this weekend's Pro Bowl followed by Super Bowl LI The Big Game. Finalized Pro Bowl rosters can be found here and, should you be in the greater Orlando area on Sunday, you may plan to revel in the presence of such NFL stars

2016 Quotables – Conference Championships (Submissions)

blaxabbath - January 24, 2017January 24, 2017

Author's Note: I started a response to Balls' That's It. post this morning and it got pretty long. I decided to expound upon why I still follow the NFL here, in part, because I had nothing witty to say because I didn't watch the conference championship games (I get the irony --

2016 Quotables – Divisional Round (Results)

blaxabbath - January 20, 2017January 20, 2017

Oh shoot -- hi there. blax here comin' at you with another results edition of Quotables. Busy week here and I gotta be honest, I didn't realize it was Friday (results day here at Quotables HQ) until I turned on the TV this morning and realized it was Inaugration Day.

2016 Quotables – Divisional Round (Submissions)

blaxabbath - January 17, 2017January 17, 2017

Oh man -- we're hitting the home stretch now! With the division round games being substantially better than the wild card weekend product, people actually seem excited about GB/ATL & PIT/N*E. I was actually primed with some non-NFL visuals for you all but then we got some real JANUARY FOOTBALL action
