April 29th, 2014 by Mr. C
With the recent cancer rash in the mouth of Los Angeles Clipper’s owner Donald Sterling with his alleged racial comments, No No: A Dockumentary takes a more refreshing outlook and inspirational view of Major League Baseball pitcher Dock Ellis but not without his own flaws on display of course. It’s basically Dock’s story of baseball […]

This ride was in its 19th edition and it was my first time taking part in this particular sweep through the […]

National Pro Wrestling day in Philadelphia
February 5th, 2013 by Mr. C
(The high flying A.C.H. during the day session) Last Saturday’s festivities to celebrate National Pro Wrestling day in Philadelphia originated in the Bronx as the Mondo-mobile scooped me up in Northern NJ as we hightailed down the dirty NJ turnpike to the National Guard Armory in Philadelphia for an afternoon and evening lineup of matches.

August 9th, 2012 by Mr. C
I wasn’t sure what I was witnessing at first glance with the Finnish Accordion Wrestling performance at Damrosch Park on the grounds of Lincoln Center but the show ended up being quite a unique & pleasant spectacle to the eyes and ears! This hybrid theatrical performance – part music, wrestling, art, & dance was headed […]

Motorcycle Show in NYC
January 25th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
The annual motorcycle show in NYC’s Jacob Javitz Convention Center on 1/23/10 hosted by Cycle World had a great turnout this year! There was an awesome display of crotch rockets, cruisers, custom choppers, & vintage harleys. The graphics, artwork, & paint jobs on some of these beasts were off the chain! My favorites include the […]

NEW JERSEY NETS!
January 14th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
Woe is me…the NJ Nets got slaughtered like a lamb last night against the Boston Celtics. I keep telling myself they have good players with lots of upside in them with horses like Devon Harris, Brook Lopez, Yi, Chris Douglas Roberts, & Courtney Lee, but I’m beginning to lose firepower defending them. The Nets record […]

Yankees & Rocco Baldelli?!
January 14th, 2010 by Planet Chocko
The Yankees are still in the hunt for a left fielder! We pretty much know a thumper type, high salary tenured left fielder is out of the question now, but what about taking the chance on Rocco Baldelli? He has power, great speed on the bases, & plays a savvy outfield, but his caveat is […]

Gang Green!

The NY Jets entered a dance of playoffs that they weren’t supposed to be in! Now, these unwanted mofos are crashing the party in an ugly dress! The Jet’s don’t have anything to lose & are playing like a loose goose ready to lift off like a swift Hawk to elude the lightning from the […]

Nick Johnson to the Yankees?!
December 18th, 2009 by Planet Chocko
Heard some rumblings last night that the New York Yankees are close to signing a 1 year deal with their former prospect & Yankee hand, Nick Johnson. I was a big proponent of Nick Johnson when he was coming up through the ranks in the minors with the Yankees playing for the Columbus Clippers, but […]
