Super Bowl XLIII Drinking Game!

Who doesn't love those yearly Super Bowl Drinking Games?  Super Bowl XLIII Sunday approaches and that means your ridiculous party should be on mind as well as those timeless drinking games. Of course this year we have the Pittsburgh Steelers vs. the Arizona Cardinals which is a fantastic match-up in itself on the field, but off the field it will help you get incredibly drunk!  And fat!

Chug your beer…

1. Every time Kurt Warner and Hall of Famer are mentioned together.
2. Every time an Bill Cowher is mentioned.
3. Every time Vince Lombardi’s name is brought up.
4. Every time the Steelers defense is mentioned as one the best ever.
5. Every time you hear a player is giving it “110%“!
6. Every time Larry Fitzgerald makes a ridiculous catch.
7. Every time your buddy says “that commercial sucked/was lame/stupid.”
8. Every time you see a Gatorade commercial.
9. Every time you see a Budweiser commercial.
10. Every time you are happy that Bryant Gumbel is NOT announcing the game.
11. Every time Kurt Warner gets sacked.
12. Every time Ben Roethlisberger breaks a tackle in the pocket.
13. Every time Hines Ward's injury is mentioned.
14. Every time a new dot com company is unveiled in a commercial.
15. Every time they show video of Anquan Boldin walking off the field.
16. Every time Obama is referenced for picking the Steelers.
17. Every time you see a commercial for another worthless NBC sitcom.
18. Every time a team goes 3 and out or fails to get a first down.
19. Every time the new "young" breed of coaches is mentioned.
20. Every time you are thankful for no Joe Buck.
21. Every time someone at your party uncomfortably high fives someone else.
22. Every time you pee after “breaking the seal.”
23. Every time a friend yells out “that was a horrible call!“
24. Every time a woman at your party reminds you that she only cares about the commercials.
25. Every time a player says “I’m going to DisneyLand!“

That should be enough to get you through the game or at least through the first quarter! And of course, depending on the level of alcoholic you are, you may need to adjust the amounts of each rule.

Enjoy yourselves...

Nate Robinson - Bad Boy from the Bench

Posted 1/22/09

Everyone loves the short guy. And everyone also loves short guys that act really tough.  Nate Robinson lived up to both of those tonight as he stepped up to Amare Stoudemire, from the bench of all places.  Oh yeah, the best part...he grabbed himself a technical.  (Pretty sick dunk from David Lee though.)

Doc's Sports - Super Bowl Predictions

Posted 1/20/09

The Super Bowl match-up has finally been set!  The Steelers return to previous territory while the Cardinals enter unfamiliar.  Who knows what the odds to win the super bowl are, but I do know that Doc's Sports has you covered.

I'm sure the rest of you are as excited as I am during this time of the year, but the storyline of Arizona and Kurt Warner coming through in dramatic fashion has made this all the better.  And I am so damn glad it was Philadelphia vs. Pittsburgh.  How awful would that have been?  The media coverage is obnoxious enough without the teams being from the same damn state.  Either way, this should be one to remember.  It could be a time for both quarterbacks to solidify their spots in the Hall of Fame.

And as a final reminder, whether it's for Super Bowl Odds or for Super Bowl Picks, Doc's Sports always brings the best to help ease your decision.

Posted 1/19/09

A day filled with tight games running all the way down to final possessions.  This game between Philly and Dallas was no different.  After almost getting nabbed for a 5 second violation, Dirk pulls that classic spin move shimmy to finish off the Sixers.

Steve Nash gets a Little Offended by Chris Bosh's Mouth Funk

Posted 1/18/09

The rule of the day is...don't ever pick up another man's nasty little mouthpiece in the middle of a game.  Steve Nash obviously found this out the hard way. You've got to love the little look back stink eye plus the hand wipe. Keep on keepin' it classy Steve!

Posted 1/13/09

You've got to love the little man finishing off a game in dramatic fashion.  It just looks that much damn prettier most of the time doesn't it?  So Raymond Felton's game winner against the Detroit Pistons tonight was just that, a thing of beauty.

LeBron James put on another show last night against the Memphis Grizzlies by posting yet another triple-double.  The "King James Circus" included this shot plus the foul.  Fair?  MVP?

Sports Dollar's 2008 Year in Review

Posted 1/5/09

Most people like to write this post with just a few days remaining in the year, but we didn't want to just blend in with all the others during such an important period that we thought we'd wait until people were actually back to work click-clacking away.

It has been quite the year!  We finished our first full year of blogging!  Woo-freaking-hoo pimps!  The road was long and treacherous but we managed and still actually kept our 8 to 5 even though half of our hours are likely spent rambling to all of you!  Ultimately, the year couldn't have been better.  We started 3 blogs, sold one, made some money with one and jump started another which looks to be a hit.  What more could you ask for aside from Yahoo Sports asking us to write full-time?  (Wishful thinking jerk-off!)

So our year-in-review will simply be a look back at some of our favorite posts that we felt actually helped our readers rather than just expanding our PayPal account.

The Beginning Stage:

1.  We gave you our initial 100 fluffs to building a better sports blog!
2.  Then popped out our most popular Google friendly post, with the top 5 Blogger template sites.
3.  Possibly one of our more controversial pieces was the guide to BallHype.
4.  And our first installment of the top 50 sports blogs!
5.  We then warned you to stop spamming BallHype, Yardbarker and Digg.
6.  And for some reason many of you ignored this one.
7.  Entrecard came and went, but this was the ultimate guide to it.  And part 2.

Another Early Stage:

1.  We decided to have some fun with A Blogger is Like...
2.  Then bid farewell to that f-ing Entrecard.
3.  Asked you what your favorite tools were.
4.  Introduced a sports blogging job board!
5.  Cuzzy gave you his 25 traits to being successful in part 1 and part 2.
6.  Reminded you that BlogBurst was pretty sweet during the NBA Playoffs.
7.  Then slapped you with 80 more tips to better your sports blog!

A Turning Point:

1.  Our first and only blog income report!
2.  For some reason, used Entrecard again...
3.  And then sold our baby.  :(
4.  But had a ton of fun telling you how annoying your blog was!
5.  And then talked about the absurd crap all of us do as bloggers.
6.  The second quarter Top 50 sports blogs were released!
7.  Decided to follow Google's Logo updates during the Olympics.

A Long Stretch:

1.  Ran another big ass contest...it was pretty big and sexy too.
2.  Talked about the 6 types of sports bloggers which was a huge hit.
3.  Called McCain an idiot for his Palin choice, and of course, we were right.
4.  Covered the 7 deadly sins of all sports bloggers.
5.  Found ourselves being thankful sports bloggers hadn't adopted some things.
6.  Loved this guest post from Apryl Delancey.
7.  Brought out the drinker in bloggers by asking what kind of cocktail you are.

Bringing it Home:

1.  Reminded you again to stop spamming your stories on social networking sites.
2.  Then told you to be careful when submitting someone elses.
3.  The third quarter top 50 sports blogs!
4.  Also told you to not be a "nofollow" douche.
5.  Realized that NFL Power Rankings were a Google gold mine.
6.  Welcomed in our new baby!
7.  Put together a list for the newbies in the sports blogging world.

The End:

1.  Gave you this video looooooooong before anyone else.
2.  Watched our Alexa ranking dominate the 100K mark.
3.  Compared sports blogs to hotties.
4.  And then we cashed out Adsense for the first time.
5.  Finished off the year holding it down with our PageRank.

What a year...as I just looked back through posts, I'm having trouble believing this little blog pumped out 400+ posts!

A giant thanks to everyone that has continued to read this goofy little experimental blog of ours.  It was an incredible year that wouldn't have been complete without you all calling me out on my ridiculous NFL rankings and feeding me all the current news from around the blog-o-sphere.

No promises will be made going into 2009, but I'm hoping to re-vamp the site and sort of take it in a new direction.  Trust me on this, you can only talk about sports blog marketing for so long!

Thanks again everyone!

ESPN.com Completes Overhaul?

Posted 1/5/09

Starting promptly at 9 PM PST, ESPN.com completed an overhaul and gave you a brand spanking new look. 

What do you think?

My initial impressions weren't all that positive after finding myself really getting used to the previous version.  ESPN offers so much information on their site that you almost have to learn to use it like some sort of internet geek tool.  So the new version seems to immediately be missing some of my favorite assets.

For example, if you head to the NBA page, you are missing the "+more" link which would give you even more information like rumors, photos, and other random garbage that only NBA-fanboys like myself actually looked at.

Obviously there will be bugs and other annoyances that they'll be figuring out over the coming days...should be cool in the long run though!  Welcome to 2009 ESPN!

Doc's Sports - Your Spot for NFL Playoffs

Posted 1/2/09

As the NFL Playoffs are just around the corner (tomorrow), Doc's Sports should be one of the first places you stop.  To print off NFL Playoff Brackets or to check out the latest NFL Playoff Predictions make sure to head over there immediately.

This weekend's games should prove to be just as entertaining as the entire season has been especially with these Wild Card match-ups.  After glancing at all four, I can't with any certainty, actually pick winners and feel good about them.  Maybe Indie?  Who knows really?

After this weekend, things will start getting even dirtier as all those top seeds come off of a long break and are hoping to be completely healed.  This is one of those post seasons that I can't wait to get started watching.

Of course, this year's Super Bowl is a complete toss up, yet Doc's Sports has your Super Bowl Predictions.  They continue to impress each time I visit like with their Sports Betting Champ Review.
