Seasons of Discontent

With Cleveland’s early departure from the NBA Playoffs, Nike is stuck with a worthless ad campaign staring the Lebron puppet. Sources confirm that Nike has done the only thing it can do in this situation: It has exiled the puppet to the Island of Disgraced Corporate Mascots, current home to the likes of Lil’ Penny, [...]

Saw Terminator: Salvation tonight and as Dr. Greenbaumberg said – it really fell apart in the last 30 minutes. One thought I couldn’t quite get over the entire movie was that if I’m part of the resistance I would probably just give up.  That’s right – I, Scott Howard, will gladly give myself up to [...]

I really don’t like night clubs.  I don’t get the appeal – they’re loud, crowded, and the drinks are expensive.  They basically just completely suck.  So to recap – like Nightcaps, hate night clubs.

Let’s try a Jager-free version of the Nightcap… Nuggets 120 Lakers 101 – Although the Lakers might go on to win this series and play in the Finals, it doesn’t change the fact that the Nuggets might actually have a better team. Even on a night in which Carmelo Anthony shot 3 for 16 and [...]

Editors Note: In my desire to mooch off any good idea, here is the second in my continuing series of historical playoff analysis. Think of it as the Meatballs 2 to this article’s Meatballs. Now that we’re in the midst of what may be the most engaging NBA Conference Finals in years I wanted to [...]

I’m a little late on the Nightcap today due to a nice run-in with a few Jager bombs. Thus my Memorial Day is consisting of a whole lot of nothing. Don’t judge me. Magicians 99 Cavs 89 – Think the Magic were a little sick of seeing LeBron James’ game winner from Game 2? Orlando [...]

It’s Saturday night, I just opened a bottle of wine, Barry White is blasting on the stereo now all I need is you – so come on up for another edition of NBA Nightcap. Don’t make me beg. Lakers 103 Nuggets 97 – Well guess I don’t have to be nice to the Nuggets anymore. [...]
