Infamous Atlanta Sports Moments

Clarence — Sat, 06 Oct 2012 10:21:40 +0000

Let’s commiserate, Atlanta sports fans. Yet another major Atlanta-based blunder with the Braves squandering the magical goodwill from Chipper Jones’ final year. Don’t let those spiteful sportswriters get you down! Yes, this listy list contains mostly stuff from the 1990s and after. I’m not compiling every run-of-the-mill fail an Atlanta-area sports team achieves. For more… Continued »

Redheads (Sedin twins) & “Mule” of the Day

Clarence — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:37:30 +0000

This is great! A profile about twins! Identical twins from Sweden! What an opportunity to fall on my lap… Oh. Daniel and Henrik Sedin, today’s Redheads of the Day of the Vancouver Canucks, are not what I had in mind. However, they are an effective two-headed beast on the ice. Thanks, Sweden, to another fine… Continued »

Wildwing vs. Gretzky: Tale of the Toon Tape

Clarence — Wed, 23 May 2012 20:17:40 +0000

Here comes an animated matchup from the 1990s to your monitor today! Let’s compare two non-legends of animated hockey: Wildwing Flashblade, the leader of the group in the 1996 cartoon The Mighty Ducks. In the other corner, an unlikely representation of legend Wayne Gretzky. Both can commiserate at how they were part of short-lived TV… Continued »

Redhead (Mike Commodore) & Mules of the Day

Clarence — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:19:29 +0000

RHM salutes Redhead of the Day Mike Commodore. Commodore, the burly six-foot-four journeyman, shown hockey fans through the years what hockey’s all about: the quick pace of the game, experiencing the glory of winning the Stanley Cup, the elegance of moving along the ice… (See the Mule of the Day) Eh, who am I kidding?… Continued »

The 2012 Playoffs are heating up. (My Hawks are once again pretenders. *sniff*) By the end of May we may have basketball history: both Los Angeles teams face each other for the NBA Western Conference. How does the purple-and-gold Lake Show fare against the Lob Party, RHM style? Let’s have a look: Los Angeles Clippers… Continued »

RHM Pop Culture Baseball All-Stars

Clarence — Thu, 05 Apr 2012 22:56:40 +0000

I’m an owner of an imaginary pop culture all-star squad. A fantasy of a different sort. Lots of baseball movies tend to make some of their main characters pitchers and sluggers. However, infield positions are difficult roster spots to fill. I took cursory research plus relying on memory to know exactly who would play where… Continued »

Ken Griffey Jr.’s Winning Run: Baseball’s Best on SNES

Clarence — Wed, 04 Apr 2012 03:50:29 +0000

1996. Many baseball fans are back to loving the National Pastime after the 1994 strike. My beloved Braves finally give the city of Atlanta its first major sports championship in 1995 after beating the once-woeful Cleveland Indians. The Yankees are back into prominence. Nintendo must have been pleased at the Seattle Mariners’ advancing to the… Continued »
