I feel like Mike Gundy… you make me want to puke. No, not you, faithful reader; I mean the entire circle of idiots involved in the Kentucky Derby. It’s finally time to put this beast down.

Fire up the prognostication machine- it’s time for the NBA playoff “picks.” I will now include quotes for all things referring to “picks,” due mainly to the fact that my track record isn’t so good. Also, my “picks” are really just an interesting way for me to make fun of various teams/players/coaches more than an educated guess at who will win.

I was on my snowboard when a tremendous thought occurred to me -- one of those rare moments when you see things so clearly. And for me, it reminded me why Utah's snow is simply the best.

Talkin' Sports writer Ryan Malavolta responds to a recent email from a fan who called Utah's college sports teams overrated and underperforming.

It's not hard to figure out why people love March Madness so much. Between the upsets and the brackets, the NCAA has figured out the perfect postseason method of determining a champion.

There were seriously a couple of big "hits" in the sports world this week. One was so big it landed Utah Jazz-man Andrei Kirilenko in the hospital!

Every year around the NBA's trading deadline, there are general managers who pull the trigger on some seriously questionable deals -- which mostly end up looking like they're shooting in the dark.

I haven't been this interested in Congressional hearings since Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill took the stand back in the day... and talked about something in someone's soda.

Shaquille O'Neal is going to yet another team... thanks to a real bad trade. And the U.S. Congress is listening to a crazy doctor who KEEPS old syringes. Wow!

KUTV's Ryan Malavolta watched with pleasure Sunday as the so-called "Perfect Patriots" were sucker-punched in the biggest game of the sports world and left face-down in a puddle of their own blood. Video

I offer you a terrorizing account and proof why the New England Patriots will assuredly win Super Bowl XLII on Sunday. I dare you to argue with THIS!

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo really needs to learn from Tom Brady... and I ain't talkin' about football!

I can't seem to get much right these days. First the whole Pirate backlash. Then two straight weeks of being served by my NFL Playoff picks. It all changes NOW!

I have a few gripes about the second weekend of the 2008 NFL Playoffs... like why more news about Jessica Simpson and Tony Romo isn't being covered!

I usually manage to offend at least a couple fans with every article. But my last blog opened a can of worms that I was in no way prepared for. And fans let me have it!

Stop the presses, perhaps my trashing of the BCS and its overblown, overhyped bowl series was a bit premature. After watching three bowl games (pre-New Year’s Bowl games, mind you) I have to say I have been entertained thoroughly.

Utah and BYU are each preparing for their upcoming bowl game -- but will they really be worth watching? Furthermore, do they even deserve to be there? Sports writer Ryan Malavolta reports.

You should know that the NFL always has a big story waiting in the wings. The sudden resignation of Bobby Petrino might not be BIGGER, but for the moment it is hiding the ugliness of Vick-7's problem.

Let me break down this week's NFL matchups for you. If you follow my lead, you will be the envy of all your co-workers Monday morning.

Though I am from the East Coast, I have to agree that the Utah-BYU matchup ranks among the best rivalries in the nation. ...And I know who is going to win Saturday.

The NFL takes a back seat in pigskin this weekend, thanks to the Utah vs. BYU game on Saturday. Well, here's a chaser to the Utes' victory.

John Beck, come on down! You’re the latest contestant on 'Who Wants To Be The Miami Dolphins’ Starting Quarterback?' But will you reach the Showcase Showdown?

Another week in sports, another bad taste in my mouth. You, too, will need a chaser after you read these tidbits.

I have finally figured out what is wrong with the Philadelphia Eagles -- but I'm not blaming the players. I'm blaming the pharmacist.

Professional basketball is not exciting. It is not entertaining. And it's best team is the best example of what is wrong with the wretched league.

Along with delivering my predictions, I would like to formally request that a specific NFL game be blacked out this Sunday, because I just don't want to watch it.

After a profanity-laced tirade I threw in the sports department the other day, I have come to a saddening realization: Dismantle the Philadelphia Eagles.

I have put together a collection of web links that ought to keep you entertained for at least a half hour. Maybe a little longer on the LAST one!

As I make predictions for this weekend's NFL matchups, I offer this disclaimer: Beware of the wounded Eagles and impotent Falcons.

You probably think I am going to go bananas after the Phillies' clean sweep in the baseball playoffs. I'm not... but it doesn't mean I can't go off on 'em.

I now bring you my Week 5 NFL picks... but seriously, you should really be watching baseball this weekend.

While I’m still confident the Phils can win their next three playoff games, I should mention that they shouldn’t even be playing the Rockies right now. You can thank Tim McClelland for that little gift.

I just got done watching the Eagles get embarrassed by the New York Football Giants on Sunday night football. Normally, I would be a wreck of emotions…angry, sad, disgusted…puking. But you know what? I couldn’t care less.

Don't be too hard on professional athletes who tear their ACL and end their season. I have proof that they may not really be as "soft" as you think.

Don’t take these amazing revelations as personal attacks on you, the fans. No, no…it’s quite the contrary. I am simply trying to brace you for the harsh reality this weekend in the NFL.

Everyone knows the Philly Fan Rep, so how do you think we’re taking the national disgrace from Monday night? Yeah, not so good. There’s a difference between playing a bad game, and being completely embarrassed by (what I thought was) an inferior conference foe in front of a national audience.

I am able to look through the shameful cheating tactics used by the New England Patriots to make my NFL week 2 predictions.

Just yesterday, the disgusting heat wave that was this summer in Utah broke, almost on cue, as the NFL is just about to get going into full swing. No more 2-a-days, no more garbage preseason games, no more overpaid idiots holding out for more money. Now it’s 'put your money where you mouth is' time.

It was only a few short days ago that I was basking in the glorious 80% humidity levels of the East Coast. The skies were gray, the people were angry, and the food was fattening. Of course I was in the land of cheesesteaks and Yuengling lager, Philadelphia. Where else would one go on their summer vacation?

The time of sports limbo is almost past us, fans. I speak of course of the dog days of summer, a time when the only tickets in town are the boys of the Major Leagues, and the duffers on the PGA tour.
