Michael Lewis = New Ben Koo Hero

A couple days ago, I got to hear best selling author Michael Lewis give a keynote on the origins of his book, Moneyball, as well his next book he is working on that will cover the collapse of our financial system. It was extremely insightful, but I have to admit I was really taken with […]

Super Bowl Thoughts as Santonio Holmes Enters Pantheon of My Man Crushes

That Super Bowl was awesome. Not sure if it was the best ever as 1/3 of it was kind of dull. However imo, it had the best play in a Super Bowl ever (James Harrison 100 yard int TD), and the awesomest finish ever. I thought the commercials didn’t have that many standouts, but at […]

I stayed up to 5 am to watch Nadal vs. Federer and it was Glorious

What? Ben Koo watches tennis? No not really. However last night through sheer dumb luck stumbled upon the final of the Australian Open around 1:30 am and decided that I was going to push all in and watch what many sports fans are calling the best rivalry in sports. It did not disappoint and in […]

2 Non Super Bowl Interesting Football Developments

Came across two really interesting football stories, none of which has to do with the Super Bowl. First, coming off a banner year, the Mountain West Conference is making its case to the BCS that it should get an automatic bid to a BCS bowl game. While the likelyhood of success on this front is […]

Sacramento Kings…Bad at Basketball, Good at Viral

The Kings are having a pretty horrible year, but that’s to be expected when your top five scorers are Kevin Martin, John Salmons, Brad Miller, Francisco Garcia, and Beno Udrih. No, I am serious those are their top five scoreres and not the names of the five finalists in a season of Making the Band. […]

Looking ahead to 2009 College Football- Some Babes For Value Add

I’ll probably go more in depth about this stuff over the weekend but wanted to get my initial thoughts on what 2009 will look like in college football, now that all the dust has settled in terms of who is going pro and who is coming back to school. Off the bat, its going to […]

Santonio Holmes Article and Tim Tebow Leaving Florida

First here is the link to my Santonio Holmes article. You have to be a paying member of bucknuts to read it, so that may be kind of a bummer for most of you (they pay me, so I can’t really complain). Below is a little except of some things he said. He also told […]

Buckeye Heartache Once Again

Its with a sad heart that write saying tonight’s last minute Buckeye loss was one of the toughest pills to swallow in all my years as a sports fanatic. There have been some more prominent losses, more embarrassing losses, and more disappointing losses but this one just sticks out. Recently I got send some advanced […]

Happy Hanukkah from Shaq, Kobe, D Wade, Rod Tidwell and many others

It’s the third night of Hanukkah and I thought it would be fitting to post the video below made my Elie Seckbach. After seeing this video, you may wonder who the hell is Elie Seckbach and how did he get this job? I met him a couple months ago and actually got featured in one […]

Youtube- Where Mocking Downtrodden Football Programs Happens

I got a LOT to update you guys on, but wanted to start by showing you two great new videos mocking two football programs I loathe immensely. First is a new Hitler video focused at Notre Dame and Charlie Weiss.. These Hitler vids are always taken down because the original movie owns the rights to […]

Lexco44/Alex Coates= The Man…New Bucknuts Article

Lexco44 has been gaining notieraty within the Buckeye fan base for his awesome hilight videos. I did an interview with him a year ago which got great reviews. I have offered up part of my site to Alex as a hub for his videos and am working with him to sprucing it up. The OG […]

The Basketball Jones….It Freaking Rules

I consider myself a moderate basketball fan, but of late become somewhat addicted to The Basketball Jones video podcast. I’ve met Skeets and enjoy his work over at Yahoo. Hopefully they don’t fire him tomorrow (massive Yahoo layoffs going down) although I think the Y! Blogs crew is pretty untouchable considering what Mottram and company […]

BCS Declares Germany Winner of WWII

This has been circulating message boards and has been sent to me via email. Not sure who the original author is, but would love to give him or her credit. Hilarious. BCS DECLARES GERMANY WINNER OF WORLD WAR II USA Ranked 4th After determining the Big-12 championship game participants the BCS computers were put to […]

Faking the Baller Life at a Warriors Game

I had the pleasure of attending last night’s Warriors game with Yardbarker’s awesome COO/ resident B movie aficionado the other night. We were joined by two work contacts who were gracious enough to host us for the evening. We started off the game in the nosebleeds, spent the first half in a luxury box, before […]

Some Unexpected QB’s Pushing Towards NFL Playoffs

I wrapped up my long weekend by watching some NFL football (shocker!). What was interesting was looking at all the NFL teams poised to make the playoffs with some very unexpected signal callers at the helm. Below are 3 QB’s who did not start the year as their team’s starting QB but are now leading […]
