1. Monster Bowles wins monster match-up Just when I started to feel that the Monster Bowles mania was dying down and that Mamaw Michael Dunigan was beginning to get more love from us, Denzel just outplays him. Dunigan was still a force on the boards grabbing 10 offensive rebounds and [...] Read more »

The Truth!) and Alex Compton were to compete in the I’m Not Conyo Championship and they had to fluidly pronounce ‘nakakapagpagabagab’ to determine who’ll end up as the fictitious Conyo Champion, I’ll put three pieces of Yakeeee! sour gum balls on Coach Jolas!

PBA Sabado Night stayed in town last night as the Smart-Araneta Coliseum hosted a double-header of opposites. The first offering was Air 21- Globalport. A hot team against a team as cold as the pavement Walter Sharpe fell asleep on. The second game? Alaska-San Mig Coffee. Again. Tim Cone against [...] Read more »
