Baseball is yet again finished. The Yankees beat the Phillies in Game 6 of the World Series last night 7 to 3. But you already knew that, didn’t you? If you care, you probably either watched the game or read all the post-game analysis on ESPN, right? And if you don’t care, you stopped reading this post once you saw the headline. Ok then, have a good day.

We like sports (and we don’t care who knows). One of the most painful things about watching any sporting event on TV is the bumbling fools who “analyze” them. Sure, there are a few diamonds in the rough, but overall these guys do nothing but spew out obvious, generic comments about plays and the “keys” to winning the game. I’m no expert, but I think the “key” to winning any game is to score more points than the opponent. That is not an acceptable thing for any analyst to say. Yet, they still do it. So here’s what I propose: (more…)

That’s right, folks. We’ve made it! We’ve hit the big time! Average Dudes was featured on ESPN last night! Ok not really. They just liked how pissed off Dyna was and decided to show the country how frustrated a UCF fan can be. If I were the official that called an offside penalty on UCF, I’d watch my back. That scowl probably burned a hole in his shirt.

The sad part is the dude with the party hat next to Dyna. You can’t wear a party hat and look that upset. Oh and you can see Jason’s Tampa Bay Rays hat on the bottom right. He went to USF so he was probably rubbing his hands together and saying “eeexcellent.”

I’m no basketball expert, but dudes don’t usually play while wearing sweats do they?

Nothing beats a fun college football Saturday, right? Well maybe if you can convince your girlfriend of a little action while watching. Go Miners!

With the Super Bowl finally over and the New York Giants victorious, football fans are left to wonder, “What happened to the almighty Patriots and their shot at undefeated history?” It all went down exactly as I had expected (and hoped). With so much riding on the outcome of that game, how is anyone expected to be at their best? Even the best team in the league is still made up of human beings (yes, even Tom Brady is human), and human beings get frazzled.

In the end, I’m ecstatic that the Giants showed the Patriots what’s what. I’d much rather hear the story of the underdogs beating all the odds and naysayers for the next year than have to listen about Tom Brady and his team of bastards breaking the record.

Still, it should have been Favre…

The stage is set for the biggest game of the year for all of American sports and the two teams facing each other are probably not the most likely foes. Well, the Patriots were pretty much a shoo-in since week nine when they beat the Colts but who would have picked the Giants? The Giants have done something no other NFC team has done: win three road playoff games to get to the Super Bowl and ten straight road games for the year. (more…)

First off, allow me to take a moment and give a shout out to all the guys out there who don’t watch football. You’re OK in my book. Or you would be, if I had a book. Anyway, it’s completely cool to not be into football. I’m not, and I say that proudly. I could give two shits about it, actually. However, I love the Super Bowl. It’s a great excuse for a party, and it’s a day that pretty much everyone is universally down to get drunk and hang out. Even though I don’t watch football, I know how to throw a mean party. Most of my formative years were spent doing just that, and I have references available if you don’t believe me. Anyway, on to the partying! Follow these guidelines, and even if you know nothing about football like me, you’ll be the most popular guy there. And let’s face it, that won’t happen too often. (more…)

I started this season with a 9 game winning streak. 9-0…unstoppable. Then I lost two in a row. I wasn’t too worried about it until Friday morning when I learned that Brett Favre injured his shoulder and his elbow. It’s a scary thing when your main man is hurt. According to coach Mike McCarthy though, he’ll be fine by next Sunday when he will continue to kick some ass. Ok that’s not a direct quote but it’s the truth.

As another college football season winds down to a close, we have yet another year of playoff talks. I usually don’t really care, but this year I felt more compelled than usual. Instead of just joining the usual crowd screaming, “Yes there should be a playoff!”, I put some thought into how it could actually work. So hear me out… (more…)
