FSF: Why LeBron Should Leave Cleveland

LeBron is the best basketball player in the game today. He may also be the most driven businessman in the American sports world. You have already seen Sirtheo's article about why he should STAY in Cleveland and now he has asked me to write why LeBron should LEAVE. After the break I'll explain why he should depart from the city that is not Detroit.

FSF: How to Fix the NBA Dunk Contest

This years NBA Dunk Contest fell far short of entertaining. The announcers were even talking about how it failed and what could be done to fix it. Now that the Dwight Howard era is over the NBA needs to either 1) Only allow NBA All-Stars in the contest so that big stars compete, or 2) Allow anyone who is affiliated with the NBA in so that we can see NBA D-League players compete.

Friday's Sports Feature: Are We Sexist?

I spent a recent weekend at the University of Connecticut to visit some local hoodlums and tricks. As I was there I decided to do a little research on what was supposed to be "Gender Issues in Sports." What I ended up studying was a little topic called "Are We Sexist?" After leaving UCONN I continued my survey on some other random participants on the streets and over the internet. 

So, are we sexist? Answer after the break.

Guest Writer Kyle: "This Years USA Olympic Win Over Canada Sucked" - Quote Interpreted by Sassmaster

^Softies^

I am writing to you from Vancouver British Columbia as a Media for eighteen-one.com covering the 2010 Olympic Games.  Actually, no I’m writing from my dorm room at BU and it’s not Boston University.  A couple of weeks ago eighteen-one called me out on their website saying that I was supposed to write an article about the NHL.  That’s that NOT how I’m going to start out.  Instead I’m going to write about how this “Great” US victory over Canada the other night was one of the largest upsets since the US beat the Soviets in 1980.  This game had great moments, when Ryan Kesler scored one the BEST empty net goals I have ever seen (and I’m not joking it was amazing, if you watched you would know), but I’m ranking this game 2nd in games being played between US and Canada THIS YEAR!  Yes you heard me, this year.  How many of you know what the World Junior Hockey Tournament is?  Probably none of you.  And that is why I am so upset that everyone is calling this the best game ever. 

FSF: What Tiger Really Meant

Today, Friday February 19th and 11am EST, was a day that will live in infamy. 

That's right, Tiger woods held a 13 and 1/2 minute conference in which he spoke the whole time and answered no questions. He said many things and sounded genuinely sorry, but what did he really mean by the things he said. We at 18-1 have the answers after the break.

FSF: NBA All Star Weekend!

This All Star Weekend has me all excited in all the right places...

Normally I don't care for anything but the dunk contest, but when the rosters were revealed for each event I become more and more interested in watching. Viewers will be lucky enough to see a bunch of bright young stars competing against each other and against some old veterans. Each event is broken down after the break.

Friday's Sports Feature: Christmas Edition

Ah Christmas. A time of family, friends, love, and sports. This year you could do the same thing as every year by spending time with the family, or you could be awesome and watch NBA all day until the Friday night game between the Chargers and the Titans! Let's break down the pros and cons of each.

Friday's Sports Feature: Sunday Shaq Edition

It's finals week for the 2 college students at 18-1 so we are going to be a little behind. Between studying and writing pages and pages of research papers I have had little time to write up FSF; in return I give you a video/picture post dedicated to the coolest man in the NBA who just needs to be introduced as Shaq. More after the break.

Friday's Sports Feature: Pistol Pete Maravich

Ladies and gentlemen I give you the greatest white basketball player of all time: Pistol Pete Maravich.

Friday's Sports Feature: Derek Jeter and Other MLB Award Failures

So Derek Jeter wins another Gold Glove this year making this his 4th. This also makes his 4th Gold Glove win that he does not deserve. The guy has a high fielding percentage and thats about it. Thats like ranking a QB solely based on Passer Rating, which everyone knows is a joke. Jeter isn't a bad fielder, but he is just mediocre and here is why:

Friday's Sports Feature: Urban Meyer, Big Tool... Or Biggest Tool?

I generally dislike the University of Florida because I am a fan of THA U. Maybe I should just change my hatred to Urban Meyer and leave the rest of the Florida football program out of it. Why? Because Urban Meyer is a classless faggot; in the loud and annoying South Park definition.

Friday's Sports Feature: "Sports" That Don't Deserve Airtime

Lately ESPN and other major networks are filling time slots with events that cannot be classified as sports. By definition sport is; an activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others for entertainment. More after the break

Will The Real Michael Jordan Please Stand Up?

It's Friday, which will now be known as Friday's Sports Feature, where we talk about other sports for just a little bit.

Today's topic involves the NBA

Everyone knows about Kobe's tarnished public image. He's not alone as other NBA or former NBA stars have their fair share of haters; Ron Artest, Charles Barkley and Dennis Rodman are to name a few. What about one of the most renowned basketball players of all time? With six championships under his belt, a hugely successful shoe line, millions of dollars in endorsements and ad campaigns, and millions of fans worldwide, most assume Michael Jordan is a great man. Is there any truth to this assumption? I used to think so until some recent digging swayed my opinion. Check out this video after the break from rapper Chamillionaire first that tells the story of how MJ spit racial slurs at him, denied to take a picture, and told him to pay for a MJ jersey that was already paid for in a charity auction.
