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 [...]

All of the Olympic events need their own Man Up, but the Winter Olympics need their own special edition.  I actually feel bad about this one too, these people are the best in the world at what they do.  They work their entire lives and devote everything to making it work for one race every [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

I’ve had a long standing hate/hate relationship with the BCS.  I’ve talked about the Computer and the fact that they have no playoff.  I’ve talked about the fact that when the top teams lose at the end the computer puts together the matchup that puts the two most storied programs together no matter what else [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

When you dominate and you are the best, haters come from all angles.  So Serena Williams was out there doing her thing, dominating, when some wildness went down at the U.S. Open.

Serena was in a barn burner with Kim Clijsters, and trying to come from behind, when she was called for a double foot fault [...]

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 [...]

After last season I was hoping Michigan Football would be able to make a triumphant return this year…or at least a respectable showing so they can stop losing to bum teams outside of the Big 10. This is the second year of the spread offense, Rich Rodriguez has a great track record, they have a [...]

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 [...]

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 it has been a long, long time.  Back in the early days of Us Versus Them we talked a lot of Mike Vick.  He got popped for the worst airport smuggling scheme ever.  Using a water bottle to smuggle weed through the airport is crazy, because water bottles are not allowed.  That is like [...]

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 [...]

The gay rights movement still has a long way to go.  Sometimes gay marriage is legal, sometimes it isn’t.  There are states that are adding a ban on gay marriage to their constitutions.  Proposition 8 is just one example of that, and that went down in California where they can smoke weed legally and damn [...]
