Little E Wins Bud Shootout

Dale Earnhardt Jr

Dale Earnhardt Jr. won his very first race for Hendrick Motorsports last night at Daytona International Speedway. We are one week away from the Daytona 500 and Hendrick Motosports looks better than ever with the addition of Little E alongside Jimmy Johnson and Jeff Gordon. This should be a very interesting Sprint Cup (yes, now it’s Sprint rather than Nextel) season and SportsUnderground.com looks for Earnhardt to be strong candidate for Sprint Cup Winner in ’08.

Duke and Dickie V Prevail

Dick Vitale

Dick Vitale returned last night to his role as the top broadcaster of college basketball after missing the last two months due to vocal cord surgery. Vitale returned to broadcast North Carolina versus Duke which is the biggest rivlary in all of college basketball and some will say the biggest rivalry in all of sports. If you have ever watched Vitale announce a Duke you know he has a love for Coach K and Duke that simply can’t be hidden. If the truth be known I think Vitale has the biggest man crush on ole Mike that I have ever witnessed. Vitale probably couldn’t be happier today because Duke prevailed at Carolina in a commanding 89-78 win. This give Duke a commanding lead in the ACC and also an edge on a possible #1 seed in the NCAA tournament.

Shaq Trade Rumors

Shaquille O'Neal

Word is The Big Aristotle is on the move to Phoenix. The Suns will ship Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks to Miami for Shaq D. Miami is making this move to get the sinking ship of a salary off their payroll so I understand why they make the move, but does this move help the Suns? Shaq might have a little left in the tank, but he sure hasn’t shown that is the case so far this year. The jury will be out for awhile on whether this deal will work or not if it does come to fruition.

Chris Berman is a Douchebag

Check this video clip of Chris Berman losing his marbles over people moving around close to the camera. I have to admit this is about as childish as you can be when you are an “adult”.

Bob Knight Bows Out

Bob Knight

Tonight comes what I percieve as shocking news out of Lubbock, Texas. Bob Knight has called it quits mid-season as the head basketball coach of the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Knight is the winningest coach ever in men’s college basketball with 902 wins. Knight is not only known as a winner in college basketball he is also known as one of the most controversial coaches of all-time. “The General” had many run-ins with players, students, citizens and of course referees where his fire and brimstone exuded in typical firey fashion. His son Pat Knight will take over the team immediately and Bobby will walk off into the sunset.

Super Sunday

Super Sunday

Ahh yes. It’s the day when more people watch the good ole boob tube than any other day of the year. Thus the reason a sponsor must pay $100,000 for every second they want their product or service seen during the big game. It’s also the second biggest day for consumption of food in America trailing only Thanksgiving. How much do we eat as a nation? Almost 15,000 tons of chips and 4,000 tons of popcorn. Some 13.2 million pounds of avocado or approximately 26 million individual avocados for our guacamole dips. There are more pizza deliveries made during Super Bowl Sunday than on any other day of the year and I won’t even begin to discuss the amount of alcohol consumed. The bottom line is today is a day of gluttony for America and I plan to participate with the best of them. Go Giants and I hope everyone has a great Super Sunday.
