Four Horsemen Tattoo - Confessions of a Sports Fanatic

While getting roughed up in yesterday’s embarrassing 6-0 loss to the Sox, Cubs ace Carlos Zambrano pegged Dewayne Wise on a cutter that apparently “cut too much.”  Was it intentional?  Personally I don’t care, but former Cub announcer Steve Stone lashed out at Big Z after the wild pitch, stating, “If you are wondering why Zambrano [...]

The Sox blew a golden opportunity in the 8th today, dropping game one to the Cubs 5-4.  This prompted to me to think of things less embarrassing than losing to one of the worst teams in baseball…..

Shitting your pants on a blind date
Contracting herpes from an exotic dancer
Getting a boner in church
Wearing a fanny pack
Eating [...]

One of my favorite hockey fights ever.  A smaller, scrappy Lemieux completely destroys notorious St. Louis goon Snepts in a playoff game.  Watch the slow-mo replay of Lemieux’s fist literally bouncing off Snept’s face repeatedly.  GO HAWKS!!!

The University of Oregon, aka, Nike Whore U, unveiled new football uniforms on Monday.  This marks the 8th time in 8 years the Ducks have tried to tinker with the sanity of their fanbase.  First year head coach Chip Kelly was in attendance at the historic (albeit redundant) event, and stated, “This is great!  I’m so excited to play dress up [...]

Movie villains, although widely considered the bad guys, are not always hated.  I grew up rooting for Johnny Lawrence to kick Daniel LaRusso’s ass in “Karate Kid,” and was similarly dissappointed when Rocky knocked out Clubber Lang in their climactic rematch at the end of “Rocky 3.”  Despite my propensity to applaud everything evil in movies, [...]

Well here it is, the fourth and final installment of 4HT’s series on HOF jerseys fans should never wear.  We have already looked at the NBA, NFL, and MLB, so only hockey remains.  Since approximaely 14 people will read this, I’ll keep it short and sweet.  Away we go…

Last week, 4HT started a mini-series looking at jerseys of NBA and NFL HOFers that people never wear.  Today, we take a look at a few baseball legends who donned alternate unis in the twilight of their career, and these should be avoided at all costs.  Enjoy…

Imagine this: Bottom of the 8th, Sox up 5-1.  A routine grounder is biffed by second basemen Chris Getz, causing reliever Scott Linebrink to serve up back-to-back homers to tie the game for the Cubs, all with two outs.  An inning later, Sox lose.  Am I pissed? Nahhh man, I’m good. 

Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m [...]

This week, 4HT has been looking back at hall of fame athletes that made a pit stop in the twilight of their career.  These guys, despite being a legend in their respective cities, decided to have a fling elsewhere, and the results were catastrophic (for the most part).  Yesterday, we looked at NBA hall of famers, and today, [...]

Induction into a professional sport hall of fame is one of the greatest acheivements an athlete can accomplish in his life.  Being enshrined secures one’s legacy as an all-time great, and the fame and fortune that comes with the distinction are unparalled.  Here at 4HT, we have put together comprehensive lists of HOFers in every [...]

John Danks pitched 7 + scoreless innings today to lead the Pale Hose to a 4-1 victory over the Cubs in Game One of the “bareknuckle brawl to decide once and for all who the shittiest team in Chicago is this year.”  As we speak, the Sox are now slightly to moderately less shitty than the [...]

Let’s be honest, the 2009 installment of the Windy City Series leaves something to be desired.  Both teams have been swirling around the toilet for weeks, and both are mathematically in the playoff hunt due to shitty divisional rivals.  Anyone who attests to the Cubs division being superior or competitive lost all credibility this weekend, after [...]

Los Angeles Lakers coach Phil Jackson donned a hat with the insignia of militant activist Malcolm X after last night’s NBA Finals Game 5 win sealed a Laker Championship, creating a shit-storm of controversy in the process. 

The bizarre tribute left onlookers scratching their head, much like when Bart Starr donned a, “McCarthy for President” t-shirt while [...]

Ghoulish fiend Jeff Van Gundy has publicly vowed to clean New York City’s grimy subway stations of the tortured souls that infest them once the NBA Finals have officially ended.  He was quoted, “After I’m done announcing the Finals with Kobe Bryant’s underwear on my head, it is time for me to return to the seedy underworld [...]

Quick Timeline:
2008 Season: Hossa’s Penguins lose Stanley Cup Finals to the Red Wings
2008 Off-Season: Hossa leaves Pens for Detroit, because, ““When I compared the two teams, I felt like I would have a little better of a chance to win the Cup in Detroit”
2009 Season: Hossa’s Red Wings lose Stanley Cup Finals to the Penguins
DOH!!!

EAT IT BITCH!!!!!!!!
