Landry Fields takes on “Billionaire”… and scores
If you’re a Knicks season ticket subscriber, it gets you some perks. Over the past few seasons, that’s meant overpriced seats for a terribly unwatchable product. Things may be a ‘changin. Juuuust sayin’. It’s only been one game back from the break, but the Knicks are becoming a hot ticket – if only for the [...]
LaRon Landry’s got two tickets to the gun show
LaRon Landry has always been somewhat of a freak athlete and an intimidating presence at safety. The current Washington Redskins defensive back will be entering his sixth season in the league this year. After a few hard-hitting and promising years out of the gate, Landry has only played in 17 games over the past two [...]
Kate Upton teaches MLB stars the circle…change
Kate Upton dons the cover of this year’s SI Swimsuit issue that hit stands this week. Boooring. Personally, we prefer her in less expected and more casual environments. The cover of SI is nice and all, but how about her role in the new 2K Sports commercial for their MLB 2K12 game? In this intellectually [...]
MSG Network Tapping Into Linsanity to Lure Switch
Linsanity lives. I won’t belabor the point. What’s not to love, though? And in this insane world where Jeremy Lin reigns supreme, this may rank up there at the top of the heap of things that would’ve gotten you committed to a straightjacket not too long ago. Imagine if only a month ago, anyone would’ve [...]
Herzlich Tweet Best Out of Indy
Forget media day. Spare me the hype and the Brady-Manning comparisons. Let’s talk about Coughlin and Canton later. Amidst all the nonsense making “news” in the weeks leading up to this Sunday’s Super Bowl, this tweet from Giants linebacker Mark Herzlich speaks the loudest.
Things Are Looking Up For The Browns!
The beloved Brownies have signed a man of great talent to lead their offense. Before you judge too hastily, consider this man’s full arsenal of tools: This obviously changes the balance of power in the AFC Central North. While the Browns still have to catch the Squeelers who are led by a man who can [...]
Brady Gives Team UGGs, Brilliantly Simple PR
I hate the Patriots. I don’t hate Tom Brady. I think I hate UGGs. I do know one thing. Great PR can be brilliantly simple. As a diehard Jets fan and a communications person by trade, I couldn’t help but stop and smile at the recent tweets indicating Brady had gifted all his teammates pairs [...]
Best NFL Playoff Interview: Can’t Wait vs. My Quarterback
Playoffs? Playoffs!!?? Everyone knows that clip and Jim Mora is rightfully immortalized for it. But what about two memorable interviews from recent memory and, well, the playoffs! The past few seasons have produced a pair of the most memorable post-game oratory performances in NFL history. One, soaring in victory. The other, whimpering in defeat. Both [...]
10 Years Ago, Rob Ray Pummels Fan
OK, so it’s a little ahead of an official 10th anniversary. And, no, this has not much to do with anything. But I stumbled upon some hockey fight countdowns recently and landed on one particular clip from legendary enforcer Rob Ray. The “Rayzor” spent the better part of his career in Buffalo pounding opponents as [...]
Five NBA “Throwback” Unis to Bring Back (Permanently)
Here at The Legend we tend to get a bit nostalgic about our sports from time to time. So, it shouldn’t be much of a surprise when we think that some things should go back to being the way they used to be. Because, such things, would unquestionably make the world a better place…at least [...]
