nWo: SwollenDome.com Reboot on Tuesday
Good morning, everyone. I hope that you’re sitting back and enjoying a fabulous holiday weekend, the unofficial start of the summer season. May the weather cooperate with your plans. I would like to take a moment to thank those who make the sacrifice that allows me to rant and rave like a lunatic on this […]
Flaming Out Spectacularly in Chicago: Heat Is On
The Big Three got it done. You can spew hate against “The Decision.” You may deride LeBron James for his exit from Cleveland or mock Chris Bosh. I won’t begrudge you that. You’re entitled to your opinions. But, I will ask a simple question. Wouldn’t you move from Cleveland to Miami, pocket a pile of […]
Say Goodbye to Oprah: Who Will Tell America What to Do Now?
On Wednesday, the world bid farewell to “The Oprah Winfrey Show.” She went out with a quiet one-hour studio show, a stark contrast from the grandiose United Center spectacle of the previous two days. I remember the old country song as I think about Winfrey’s exit from daytime television. “Who’s going to fill her shoes?” […]
FMC: Chris Bosh, Miami Heat
The matchup was set a little more than a week ago. Jokes circulated throughout the blogosphere and the Twitter-verse about the battle between “2 1/2 Men” and “Derrick Rose’s Chicago Bulls.” Be it a television show, off-Broadway play or film, you could just envision the poster. LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Derrick Rose received all […]
Captain’s Log: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Talks Statue & Lakers Rift with Petros & Money
Los Angeles has been the sports capital in recent months, but certainly not for anything positive. I take that back. Who would have ever expected that the pride of Los Angeles would be wearing a Clippers jersey? The Lakers were dumped from the playoffs unceremoniously by the Mavericks and went out with several cheapshots from […]
A Fine Time at The Draft Lottery: Kahn Hit the Jackpot
Habits, as we know, can sometimes become destructive and expensive things. On Tuesday night, Minnesota GM David Kahn used the word to describe the latest NBA Draft Lottery. It was a calculated and ill-fated attempt at humor, a jab weaker than any posed by “Sugar” Shane Mosley in his tepid effort against Manny Pacquiao a […]
David Vassegh of FOX Sports Radio Gets Phil Jackson to Talk Candidly in His Exit Press Conference
Most of the questions coming during Phil Jackson’s final press conference with the Lakers tried to assess the team’s quick exit from the Playoffs, his relationships with the players and trips down memory lane. David Vassegh, the Executive Producer of the “Petros & Money Show” on FOX Sports Radio, boldly stepped out of the usual […]

The Most Influential Athletes List for 2011 — Surprised?
I saw this story off of Forbes.com regarding the most influential athletes, as compiled by E-Poll and Nielsen Media Research. From the article — “surveyed over 1,000 adults as to the athletes they considered influential, while also assessing their likeability and awareness levels. Only those known to at least 20 percent of the respondents were […]

What’s The Next Level of Ugly? White Sox No-Hit
Tuesday’s contest between the White Sox and the Minnesota Twins was destined to be a “get right” game. The flailing South Siders ranked among the game’s biggest embarrassments through the season’s first month. Minnesota starter Francisco Liriano entered the season as a Cy Young hopeful. He toed the rubber in the bottom of the first […]
Embattled Dodgers Owners Frank McCourt Joined Petros & Money
To call the current climate surrounding the Los Angeles Dodgers tense and confrontational would be gross understatements. Major League Baseball has stepped into the day-to-day operations and a number of payroll transactions and top-level decisions are being put under the proverbial microscope. On Tuesday afternoon, Los Angeles owner Frank McCourt sat down in the hot […]
