I can’t hate on Syracuse basketball. It is hard to be the #1 team in the country. Everyone is gunning for you, everyone gives you their best shot, if you lose on someone else’s floor you get the automatic floor rush from the students.

That feeling sucks.  Well Syracuse got a great first half [...]

This isn’t quite stupid criminals, but it is damn close.  Check out this gut trying to rob a 7-11 outside of Boston.

I know what you are thinking, the robber needs to Man Up for getting rushed out of the store by the old woman.  But I actually think this special Man Up goes out to [...]

Toyota finally was where they wanted to be.  The Big 3 have been struggling for years, and Toyota was finally the #1 car manufacturer.

But now they are doing it wrong.  Now I’ve heard of vehicle recalls, but this one pretty much sounds like the worst ever.  Sure, recall a bad transmission that might shut the [...]

This is one part Man Up Monday, one part When Keeping it Real Goes Wrong.    Last weekend Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton were in the Wizards locker room arguing about an unpaid gambling debt when Gil Arenas pulled a gun on Javaris.

He was getting loose with it too.  Leaning with it, rocking with it.  Apparently, [...]

We’re going to keep rolling with the UvT best of 2009 awards.  It’s not Monday, but it is time for the Man Up of the Year.  This year, the person who needs to Man Up above all others is Richard Heene, the dad of the balloon boy.

First of all, this dude looks like an asshole.  [...]

It is the Christmas season, so we continue to get in the spirit here at Us Versus Them.  You know we never let anything slide here at Us Versus Them so the big man himself is about to catch the Man Up Monday treatment because some things have got to change.
First of all, stop sneaking [...]

Tiger Woods has gone and done it now.  Tiger Woods has announced his “indefinite leave” from golf.  I don’t know if I would have left the game.  I thought that was the only way he was going to shut everyone up.  I’m talking playing the majors and whatever tourney comes two weeks before that.  No [...]

Damn Homey, You used to be the Maaaaaaan Homey.  What happened to you?

Tiger Woods caught a little bit more than a holiday turkey hangover on Thanksgiving when he crashed into a tree and a fire hydrant at the bottom of his driveway early Friday morning.  Tiger has been giving everyone, including police the silent treatment [...]

There has always been a code of the streets.  The mob has their own codes about how they should work.  Gangs keep it real and never sell each other out.

But at some point Stop Snitching got twisted, someone made it mean something that is isn’t, criminals have expanded the original intent of Stop Snitching to [...]

The NFL is either feast or famine.  Going into Sunday there were two undefeated teams, there were a good handful of teams doing well, and there were a bunch of teams that really suck.  The Lions are horrendous.  The Rams are a joke.  The Bucs suck in their own special way.  But no one pulls [...]

Man Boy J. Blanco hit me with the text message Saturday afternoon letting me know my work for Man Up Monday was already done.  “ND loses to Navy…Man Up!”  And looking through the archives, although Lake and I have both gone in hard on Notre Dame, Charlie Weis, and Brady Quinn, ND has never gotten [...]

Damn Homey.  I know everyone likes to give USC the benefit of the doubt until Pete Carroll has talked his way into a BCS bowl, but this time it is not going to get it.  The Oregon Ducks look real and they just beat the bricks off of the Trojans last Saturday.

Pete Carroll needed some extra [...]

I’m not a big Halloween guy, but I understand why people like it.  Here’s my thing, if you are going to go to a Halloween party, you’ve got to go hard.  Don’t punk out and try to be lazy about it.  Either stay with regular clothes, or go all the way.  Don’t just be lazy.

If [...]

I had the NFL Sunday ticket fired up in the Man Cave on Sunday when I saw a sad, sad sight.  I was watching the Chargers game and they showed a clip of Ladainian Tomlinson from last week when they were on the goal line and he wasn’t chosen to run the ball in.  I [...]

I’m not gonna lie.  The balloon boy saga started and was almost over before I even knew what was going on.  This is the kind of story the media loves.  A little boy trapped in a balloon hovering over Colorado, no one knows how to get him down.  There were people saying how awesome it [...]

Damn Homey, in 1997 Charles Woodson was the man homey, what happened to y’all?  Two years ago it seemed like a perfect pairing.  You take the team with the most wins in college football history with a team that had gotten a little stale under Lloyd Carr, and match it up with Rich Rodriguez, the [...]

Damn Homey, You used to be the man homey, what happened to you?  David Letterman figured out a lifelong lesson last week.  The best way to stop someone from threatening to reveal a secret is to tell it yourself.

Dave had a good one.  I guess he subscribes to the old school way of being the [...]

You know we’ve been on Brady Quinn watch ever since Lake and I watched all his hopes and dreams get crushed in the NFL draft as he slipped from a top prospect to the 22nd pick in the 2007 draft.

I don’t hate the kid, I’m just tired of everyone acting like he is better than [...]

If you were on the Twitter feed, (and if not, why not?) you know your boy Brock was in Vegas this weekend and yes I was at the fight.

This was billed as Number 1 vs. Numero Uno, but uhhhhh, I didn’t see it.  Floyd dominated Marquez from beginning to the end.  As long as Floyd [...]

I know what you are thinking, who the hell is Brian Hout?

That’s right, not the puncher, LeGarrette Blount…he’s the punchee.  I know, I know, how does a guy who gets sucker punched have to man up?  Wait, first things first, you HAVE seen the punch, right?  I think I’ve seen it about 200 times since [...]

That’s right, I said it.  I know you never thought it would happen, but your boy needs to man up.  At least I can step up and admit it, but I’m here to tell you, you probably need to man up too.  Here’s why, I thought I was in shape.  I mean, by any measure [...]

I think this is the first Woman Up Monday.  I’m going to have to go for the formerly undefeated, caught an ass whoopin’, but is still the baddest chick in MMA, Gina Carano.

I know it, she doesn’t even look like a fighter, but on Saturday she took on Cris Cyborg in the first ever female [...]

Whenever I talk about a UFC fight, all Lake ever asks is “Anderson Silva”?  If the answer is no, Lake is about 50/50.  If the answer is yes, Lake is generally in.  So we were both watching the fight Saturday, and the real main event was Silva vs. Forrest Griffin.  It was a great fight [...]

Damn, there’s something about the sensitive thug taking his shirts off.  I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but it’s never a good thing.  I know money and fame isn’t everything.  I get that it doesn’t guarantee happiness.  But, Stephon Marbury, can I simply ask that you not cat up and then broadcast it for [...]

Justin Timberlake is a cool ass dude.  He might be the flyest nilla out there (even Lake has to give that up) but we all know he’s got a little punk in him.  So check out this run in he had with the Paparazzi last week.  First, my man goes hard.  Like, “you got something [...]
