Man Up Monday: News
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, August 16th, 2010

You’ve got to love the news cycle.  For three months we had to watch shady underwater video of the Gulf oil spill.

The second they capped that joint, no one on the news knew what else they were supposed to cover.  Meanwhile the President pulls the ultimate Man Up move and gets his swim on in [...]

Man Up Monday: Glen ‘Big Baby’ Davis
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 26th, 2010

Last week, the homey H8torade posted Glen Davis doing the Dougie and pretty much covered all the bases.  On Twitter I said there wasn’t much to add to his commentary on this video.

Damn, that is still turrible. Let’s not forget this:

So yeah, I do have something else to add to H8torade’s commentary.
Glen Davis…MAN UP!
This dude [...]

Man Up Monday Part I: Mel Gibson
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 19th, 2010

Mel Gibson is one crazy dude.  This is when I think the internet isn’t a good idea, because Mel Gibson should never be allowed near a recording device ever, ever again.  That is going to make it pretty hard to make and star in movies, but at this point I think it might be worth [...]

Man Up Monday Part II: Money Mayweather
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, July 19th, 2010

The Manny Pacquiao vs. Floyd Mayweather mega fight should have happened last year, it should have happened earlier this year, and it should happen later this year, but instead…it isn’t happening yet.

Mayweather called out Pacquiao for not agreeing to his random drug testing.  Pacquiao agreed to most of the terms, but put a deadline of [...]

Man Up Monday: World Cup Medley
Posted by Evan Markert | Monday, June 21st, 2010

Brock has given me the honor to hit all of Team Us with a guest post and I’m bringing the heat with a full Man Up medley. There’s been a lot of tomfoolery this week in the World Cup and you know how Team Us handles tomfoolery… with a MAN UP!
First, these bum ass referees [...]

Man(ned) Up Monday: Ron Artest and the Lakers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, June 21st, 2010

The Lakers must be UvT fans because the supporting cast stepped up and made the championship happen even when Kobe was less than Jordanesque Kobesque.  They came back from the 3-2 deficit to give Phil Jackson number 11 and Kobe number 5.  The greatest part of the championship was the Ron Artest interview.

That is long, [...]

Man Up Monday: The Rest of the Lakers
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, June 7th, 2010

Man Up Monday usually comes out after someone doesn’t step up, but this week we are going to do a proactive Man Up Monday.  I need to talk to the rest of the Lakers.  Have you seen this dude?

Sometime in the last two seasons the Black Mamba decided to break out the venomous fangs when [...]

Man Up Monday: So Many Punks So Little Time
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, May 10th, 2010

I don’t have a single crew for Man Up Monday this week, I’ve got a whole crew of ‘em .  I’ve got to start with the Atlanta Hawks though.  There are a few times in sports when “pros” are now performing professionally.  This is one of those times.  When Orlando beat the hell out of [...]

Man Up Monday: Holyfield, Silva, and BJ Penn
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, April 12th, 2010

Now I mentioned this last week, but I didn’t actually know the real deal Holyfield was actually getting a title shot this week.  That fight between Roy Jones, Jr. and Bernard Hopkins was a complete debacle, but Holyfield knocked out Franz Botha in the 8th round to win the WBF Title.  First, question…why the hell [...]

Man Up Monday: Brock’s Choice
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 29th, 2010

First of All, I’m going to start by telling all the haters to Man Up.  Duke is back in the Final Four.

So break out the conspiracy theories about the easy bracket, add a layer of “who the NCAA wants to win”, and rub it down with some Coach K is in the with refs, and [...]

Man Up Monday: College Basketball
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 22nd, 2010

I don’t even know what to say.  I guess this is why they call it March Madness, but I don’t remember a tournament this exciting in a long, long time.  I wasn’t one of those people glued to the TV from Thursday at noon to Sunday night, but I saw plenty.  I think Cole Aldrich [...]

Man Up Monday: Syracuse Basketball – Kyle Kuric Gets Loose!
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, March 8th, 2010

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Granny vs. Robber
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, February 22nd, 2010

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Winter Olympics
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, February 15th, 2010

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Toyota
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, February 1st, 2010

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 [...]

Man Up of the Year: Balloon Boy’s Dad
Posted by Brock Hardon | Thursday, December 24th, 2009

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.  [...]

Classic Man Up Monday: Santa Claus
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, December 21st, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Tiger Woods…AGAIN. But it’s Not What You Think
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, December 14th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: The BCS Selection Committee
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, December 7th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Tiger Woods
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 30th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Stop Snitchin’
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 23rd, 2009

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 Up Monday: Notre Dame
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 9th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Halloween Edition
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, November 2nd, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Washed Up Running Backs
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, October 26th, 2009

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 [...]

Man Up Monday: Rich Rodriguez and Michigan Football
Posted by Brock Hardon | Monday, October 12th, 2009

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 [...]
