5 things the Sports world can do without.

Yea…keep doing that and thinking you’re cool folks. Joe Biden is the Versace of Pennsylvania Ave.

5. The Fist Bump- When the President of the United States, even a black President, is seen using an exaggerated ‘High Five’ then you know it’s time to retire it. He can shoot hoops in the basement of the white house all he wants, he is still the POTUS. That means he has as much “Street Cred” as Phil Mickelson and people that think Coldplay is a “rock band”. Only way it could get more lame is if Hillary Clinton fist bumped Diane Feinstein for scoring some Kohl’s cash at a grand opening in Wisconsin.

The Dubsism NBA Playoffs Contenders and Pretenders Edition: The Western Conference

Dubsism

As we are at the end of the 2012-13 NBA regular season, it is time to look at the teams who can actually win in the coming play-offs. Sure, the casual fan is going to be planted firmly on the Miami Heat bandwagon, but let’s be honest…they aren’t the only team who can win. But to be more honest, there aren’t very many teams who can win.  That’s why it is time to take an honest look at each of the playoff teams, strip off the misperceptions and make a realistic assessment of their chances to stand alone on the top of the NBA mountain come June.

Today, we give you the full two scoops of Dubsism on the Western Conference.

You can see the Dubsism run-down of the Eastern Conference here.

Revis to Bucs Deal: Who Wins?

NBA Playoff Preview 2013

NBA Playoff Preview & Predictions

 

I know I’m not the first person to say it, but this year’s NBA playoffs will be extremely entertaining. As you can see from my predictions above, I have the Miami Heat winning back-to-back championships. The competition level has increased a lot since last year but I don’t think any team has reached the Heat’s level.

SBM Exclusive Feature: The BLAST-CAST – Volume 7: Does Brandon Ayanbadejo Have An Ulterior Motive For His Gay Rights Advocacy?

Not all topics are about happiness and sunshine. In today’s installment of the Blast-Cast, Ryan Meehan from East End Philadelphia and J-Dub from Dubsism explore a controversial subject, and question one of it’s more out spoken proponents. The topic is the presence of gay athletes in the National Football League, and whether or not it is politically correct, Meehan and J-Dub ask some legitimate questions about former Ravens’ linebacker Brandon Ayanbadejo’s advocacy of openly gay players in the NFL. To make a long story short, it is very possible that Ayanbadejo has an ulterior motive that in Meehan’s own words “may be more political than humanitarian.”
