Johnny Goodtimes

That’s right folks, we’re doing it again. The JGT/iSportacus Bracket-tacular has become an annual event that causes me even more stress right before Quizzo Bowl is one of the highlights of the year. Just click here and enter the password goodtimes (group # is 83655). You need to get a yahoo account to play (It’s simple, takes 5 minutes) and the winner walks away with $100 in gift certificates to local restaurants. 2nd place hauls in $50. So get your picks in, then stand by and get slaughtered. My 95th place finish last year was a mirage. I went with my heart instead of my brain. This year I’ve crunched the numbers and studied the game film, and am guaranteeing a first place finish.  Eat ‘em and smile.

Great interview with a Blue Jay blogger about Roy Halladay.

I’ve still got a few baseball trivia questions that have gone unanswered.

Jay Wright approves expanding the NCAA field. BMT doesn’t.

Cole Hamels is looking great this spring. 

A lively debate in the comments section about how the Phils handled the Chan Ho Park situation. 

Baseball season is here, folks. Follow the best Phillies blog in Philadelphia!

Want to take a moment to acknowledge a feather in the cap for our sports site. iSportacus.com was named “Best Phillies Coverage” by the Philadelphia Weekly. In a city whose baseball blogs include Phillies Nation, Beerleaguer, and We Should Be GMs, this is a pretty big honor and, quite frankly, a pretty big upset. Nonetheless, we are flattered. BMT and I have put a lot of effort into the site and it’s nice to know that a few people are noticing. Not a whole lot of baseball on the site now, but I can assure you we are both anxiously awaiting opening day and will stop caring about curling and Eddie Jordan as soon as the first pitch is thrown. And don’t worry, PW, I’m going to let your choice of Irish John as Best Quizmaster slide in the merriment of the moment.

With a hockey team that is on hiatus and a basketball team that is simply awful, we have been focused on the Winter Olympics. I think we’ve got some pretty good, original coverage.

How curling is a lot like World War Two.

BMT rants against the IOC for making goalies take messages off their masks.

My buddy Duff (the same one who used to host quizzo at the Rendezvous) is now living in Vancouver, and giving us a birds eye view of what’s going on in the city these days.

The NBA is in desperate need of more thugs.

Can a Whites-Only Basketball League Work? Yes (Sort of).

I make the case for why Donovan should no longer be an Eagle. 

BMT makes Donovan’s case for the Hall of Fame. 

And if you haven’t played the Tiger Woods Stop that Bimbo Game, I highly recommend it.

If you’re an Eagles fan, you should join the discussion over on isportacus. And if you hate Mcnabb, perhaps you’d enjoy Donovansfault.com.

In a shocking move, 76ers sign gangster rapper Jewelz.

Why the signing of Iverson is bad for the city.

Why the signing of Iverson is good for the city.

Iverson and Johnny Goodtimes: Reunited, and it feels so good.

I posted a bunch of trivia questions about the Chicago Bears. Palestra Jon got about half of them right, but several of them are still in need of answers. 

Why the Sixers should sign Allen Iverson.

Sam Dalembert makes more more money annually than Chase Utley.

8 great hockey fights.

I’ve been a total slacker. Between the Phils and the holiday, I’ve been slippin’ a bit lately. I’ll be back in gear tomorrow. Yeah, the photos aren’t  up yet. I left my friggin camera at Steve-O’s house friday night, so I’ll have pics up as soon as I get it from him. Of course the schedule this week depends on what the Phils do. In the meantime, I have been doing a fair amount of posting on isportacus. A few things worth checking out.

Thinking about giving up on the Phillies? Read this post.

Once there was a silly old ant…

The greatest inspirational video of all time.

Should the Phils dress in their best and prepare to go down like gentlemen? (written last night, while I was still bitter about Game 4.)

How the Phillies winning is affecting your sex drive.

Is Jimmy Rollins a Hall of Famer?

Any suggestions for how we’re going to keep Yankee scum out of our bars?

With their two most hated rivals facing off, who are Mets fans rooting for in the Series?

Vote for what you think the result will be of the World Series.

I have been a total slacker on posting today, but I think once you see this video, all will be forgiven. This may well be my magnum opus.

LA Times bashes Philly Fans. We bash them back.

Henry Hill reacts to the end of Game 4. You gotta see this.

A 9 year old hockey phenom shows his stuff.

If you haven’t seen it already, you need to see the rap I did for Game 4 of the NLDS.  It’s pretty badass, I gotta admit. Go Phils!

Hey kids, I just recorded a rap about Game 4 of the NLDS. Think you might dig it.

• The only catch I made in my high school football career certainly was a memorable one. Pretty funny story. 
• Earlier this week I picked the 20 Ugliest Uniforms in pro sports history. Pretty good stuff. Now we’re asking you: what are the 20 Best Uniforms in sports history? 
• The 2007 Phillies vs. the 2009 Phillies. Incredible how different the two teams are. 
• YOU HAVE TO SEE THE ENDING OF THIS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL GAME. I have watched football for 30 years, and I have never seen anything like it.
