NHL playoff commercials vs NBA playoff commercials… a talking basketball, huh? thats what you came up with….? no… no… thats fuckin gold… you should definitely go with it… SMH
just another reason why the NHL > NBA
Vote 5 if you get goosebumps from the NHL commercials, vote 1 if you would rather have a conversation with a talking basketball
I’m surprised Buzz Lightyear kept his cool for that long… no way that I could have… some conspiracy nut questioning whether or not he actually walked on the moon, askin him to swear on da Bible… hmmm, something just doesn’t add up here… isn’t the common interpretation of the Bible now-a-days considered mostly fiction? So you’re basically trying to get him to swear on a fictional piece of literature that he accomplished one of the most remarkable feats in modern science and human history
People like this annoy the shit outta me, can’t stand ‘em… dudes life is a joke… I’d pay a hefty amount to take a big crap on this guys face
I’ve been trying to think of and design my own logo for Pucking Sports but I have less artistic ability than Nickelback and Rebecca Black combined. So I’ve decided to let you guys try and come up with it by offering $100 to whoever designs my favorite. You are free to take any direction you would like, I’ve tried doing things with the whole name “Pucking Sports”, just “P S” and tryin to involve the State of Minnesota somehow in an outline or something. Whatever floats your boat. Its totally up to you.
Its completely free with no strings attached so why not give it a shot and possibly become $100 richer… and who couldn’t use an extra $100?
So just draw up some shit, snap a pic of it on your cell and tweet it at me @PuckingSports… or you can e-mail it to me too TheWeeklyFix@yahoo.com… maybe I’ll post the better ones on here or some shit and see what everyone thinks… if you don’t want your name to go along with the pic just let me know
I’ll name the winner in about a month or so or once I find one that blows me away
Here are a couple of the better ones I’ve gotten so far:
Apology Letter From TwitLonger
I wrote the headline in reference to the tone of the column and not to Jeremy Lin’s race. It was a lapse in judgment and not a racist pun. It was an awful editorial omission and it cost me my job.
I owe an apology to Jeremy Lin and all people offended. I am truly sorry.
Actions speak louder than words. My words may have hurt people in that moment but my actions have always helped people. If those who vilify me would take a deeper look at my life they would see that I am the exact opposite of how some are portraying me.
They would see that on the day of the incident I got a call from a friend – who happens to be homeless – and rushed to his aid. He was collapsed on the side of the road due to exposure and hunger. They would see how I picked him up and got him a hotel room and fed him. They would see I used my vacation time last year to volunteer in the orphanages of Haiti. They would see how I ‘adopted’ an elderly Alzheimer’s patient and visited him every week for a year. They would see that every winter I organize a coat drive for those less fortunate in New Haven. They would see how I raised $10,000 for a friend in need when his kids were born four months premature. They would see how I have worked in soup kitchens and convalescent homes since I was a kid. They would see my actions speak louder than my words. They would see that these acts were not done for my glory, but for God’s. They would see that each day I live and will continue to live a life of joy and service.
It never has been or will be my intention to hurt anyone.
I wrote thousands and thousands and thousands of headlines in my five years at ESPN. There never was a problem with any of them and I was consistently praised as an employee – both personally and professionally. Two weeks prior to the incident I had my first column published on espnW.com. My career was taking off. Why would I throw that all away with a racist pun? This was an honest mistake.
It is also crucial that people know that the writer of the column had nothing to do with the headline. I wrote it and now I take responsibility for it.
I am actually a Knicks fan and an ardent supporter of Jeremy Lin. Not surprisingly, he has handled the entire situation with grace and class.
Now I have to find a new job and move on with my life.
My solace in this is that ‘all things work together for good for those who love the Lord.’ I praise God equally in the good times and the bad times.

Are we supposed to feel bad for this guy? This is the most pathetic attempt of an apology note I have ever seen. Just offering way too many irrelevant examples of how he has been a ‘good guy’ in is life in hopes of persuading people that he actually had no idea that his headline was considered to be derogatory. I don’t buy this guys excuses for a second. Smells like straight bullshit to me…
“Two weeks prior to the incident I had my first column published on espnW.com. My career was taking off.“
That is supposed to be a joke right? He really wouldn’t consider his career to be ‘taking off’ by getting a column published on the women’s version of ESPN. It seems like now he is taking shots at women. Do you guys buy this guy’s weak-ass excuses? I honestly don’t think it is possible for someone to post the headline “Chink in the armour” and sincerely not know that ‘Chink’ is derogatory towards Asians… I think he did nothing but make the situation worse by releasing this ridiculous apology note… what do you guys think?
If I had a dollar for every time this happened to me during class or at the bar I don’t think I would ever need to work again… its one thing to stare in the completely obvious way this dude does, and its another thing to actually get caught… and its a third thing for the chick to do something to let you know that she caught you like cover up her tits for a second… if chicks don’t want guys staring at them then they shouldn’t wear clothes that beg for attention…
this guy just needs to learn how to play it off…
ahh I imagine that as a college student there is nothing better than being apart of a rowdy D1 student section that is given the opportunity to storm the court after a huge upset… my biggest regret during college probably has to be leaving ISU 2 years ago and not being apart of that crowd that stormed the field when the Cyclones knocked off OkState this past Fall… not many people can say that they went to a school that knocked off a Goliath team, let alone were actually at the game and were apart of the mayhem that ensued with a nice court storming…
and I guess that remains true for these Seton Hall fans…
It will now be the security guards who tell their children and grandkids about that one epic night Seton Hall upset Georgetown… how against all odds they were able keep those rowdy college kids in the stands and off the court… what an epic story indeed, literally like 5 security guards effectively held back an entire student section… thats some 300 Spartan shit right there….
