non--basketball-stuff Stories - The Dream Shake
Weekend plans? Oh, I have many!
In addition to watching the Rockets continue to stun Utah and their crazy fans (seriously, would a Rockets fan ever get ejected for trying to shake the basket and cussing out a referee?)...there's also this NFL Draft thing on Saturday. And while, yes, this is predominantly a Rockets blog, I happen...
Site news: We hate hurricanes
Hurricane Ike remains projected to kick Houston's ass this weekend.One of us has already evacuated.The other is stuck in Houston.Don't expect much, if any, updates to this blog in the meantime. Or rants. Or raves. Or anything that would include a "Rafer Alston sucks" tag. Even though he does. Just...
Hurricane Ike update: we survived. Sort of.
Okay, there's no other way to put it: that sucked.And it continues to suck. I stayed in Houston through the entire storm. Ike was much, much, much stronger than forecast and it really messed up the city. My neighborhood did not fare very well in the storm. Somehow, my house remained fully intact -...
Not the best start to the day
Uhhh, let's hope the Rockets don't f--k up tonight the same way the Texans f--ked up their first round pick today. That was just... I don't even have the words. The Texans may have just made Matt Millen look smart by comparison. Ugh.
This is why!
This is why I do not bet on NFL games:Elisha Manning... in the Super Bowl? No freakin' way!
Point / Counterpoint
Hey, Roger Clemens:F-U!Look, Lee may not care that you and 85% of the MLB players from 1988 through, oh, today, took HGH and 'roids. But I do.(And by the way, HGH has always been illegal to obtain without a prescripton. Anabolic steroids have always been illegal. Just because it's not in baseball's...
B12 and Lidocaine are Life's Little Miracles
The Dream Shake was founded to talk about everything Houston Rockets, but we certainly reserve the right to talk about whatever we want (It's my ball, if you don't like it I go home and take it with me!) And to me, Roger Clemens stating that the steroids he is accused of injecting were:"Lidocaine...
Without Choke City, there is no Clutch City
January 3, 1993.It was fifteen years ago. The Houston Oilers set the standard for embarrassment in professional sports. The Oilers, led by future Hall of Fame QB Warren Moon (and the prolific run-and-shoot offense) took on the hated rival Buffalo Bills. The Bills were usually led by Jim Kelly, but...
People That Piss Me Off (Week the Fourth)
And we meet again.Though, for obvious reasons (I would think), this week's list will be light on NBA-related topics. For those that came to read about Rafer, Kobe, the FatAss or T-Mac... be patient. Yes, I recognize this is a Houston Rockets blog. I also recognize that it is my blog and I can write...
People That Piss Me Off (Week the Third)
Another week, another round-up of things that annoy me to no end.Who is the guilty party this week? No, Rafer, it's not you. Quit being an attention whore. It's okay, I still think you suck though.Instead we lead off with:1. Jason KiddFirst, you have annoyed me since you were a rookie. Then in your...
