    Ted’s definitive, 100% accurate holiday power rankings.

    With Easter approaching this weekend, I thought I’d put together a list of the best holidays according to me, Ted Flint. Why, you ask? Because everyone loves rankings, right? The following rankings are not at all scientific and probably wrong. Feel free to come argue with me online. Thanksgiving: What’s not to love about Thanksgiving? You […]

    There’s always a week, every year, that chaos rules college basketball. Last week was that week.

    Consider this article a preemptive strike on what is almost certain to happen next week. You see, Creighton lost at home to Marquette – a team that’s ranked #32 on Kenpom. This loss, coupled with the loss of star point guard Mo Watson, was enough to drop the Blue Jays nine fucking spots. One game. […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 1/10/17

    Baylor is now the number one team in the country, and one of just two undefeateds (Gonzaga). I’m totally fine with this and have argued in favor of the Bears for weeks, however, they were less than impressive last week in their climb to the top. Elsewhere in the country, the ACC is starting to […]

    It appears that some AP voters have made a New Year’s resolution to not be so awful anymore, but unfortunately that trend hasn’t continued for the majority of folks. You see, The Baylor/Kansas conundrum finally got fixed by a UCLA loss of all things. All of those #1 votes that were on UCLA went to […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 12/28/16

    As you’ve probably noticed, college basketball doesn’t typically play any meaningful games the week before/of Christmas. Most teams try and beat down an inferior opponent and send their players home for an extended break before starting conference play. Surely you can see how this would make for a really boring column, so I’ve decided to […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 12/6/16

    Another week, another set of craptastic rankings. The biggest thing we learned from last week is that anything below 15 is basically a crap shoot every week. Why did they arbitrarily decide to stop the rankings at 25? Football ranks 25 teams and there’s only 128. There’s 351 in basketball, why not rank the top-50? […]

  • Manic Pixar Nightmares

    Since I was young, I have loved the Pixar films. I make an effort to see every new film in theaters. I didn’t make it to Finding Dory, but that will be fixed as soon as it is released on DVD. Everyone and their mom has written an article counting down the best Pixar flicks, but […]
