Here's a very short rundown of a few sports stories.

 

The UConn Women's Team: 39-0. Hopefully in 30 years there will be much more parity in women's college ball, and just like the men's UCLA teams of the '70s - this will become a thing of distant memory. It's not helping the ratings, I can tell you that. And dude, UConn women's coach, whatever the crap your stupid name is - do something else. Take the plunge, coach men's, coach WNBA, do something ELSE.

 

Tiger Woods at the Masters: Woods is the only player that can make people care about his sport. If you don't like golf, you still might tune in to see him go for a win. If you don't like baseball, there's not a single player that will draw you in. Of course, that's partly because he's not playing a team sport. But there's no arguing he just has amazing drawing power. Do I hear Hillary running mate rumors for 2016??

 

NBA Playoffs: The Cavs look great, and should easily be the Eastern Conference Champs. If they aren't, Lebron, dude, it's time to move. Even with Lebron playing his best, they're going to find themselves in a tough match-up against the west in the finals, no matter who they play.

 

Wow, Denver...might...actually...win a playoff series?? What?? Welcome home Chauncey, I will hold you hostage if you ever threaten to leave.

 

MLB Season Starts: 3 games down, only 5,562,334 to go. The Rockies won their opening series against the D-Backs, and Tulo is looking like he may have a hot start. Hell, it's better than last year.

 

That's it for now, back to grooming my ironic mustache.

 
Preview of the National Championship - Which you Probably Won't Read Until After the Game PDF Print E-mail

Hi, it's me, James. I just wanted to thank you for visiting my little website here. I sincerely hope you enjoy your stay here at Sporting Hipser (.com).

 

Before we go any further, I think it's important that you know something: the game is already over. I know this because I'm posting this preview nay two hours before tip-off of the 2009 NCAA National Championship. If you're reading this, chances are the game is over, I'm weeping like an injured child as Vandross pipes "One Shining Moment" delicately into the now silent Bracketology Institute, and Tyler Hansbrough finally gives that last - more gentle - pat on the ass of each UNC player, staff member, and faculty; the game's OVER, fucking over.

 

Thus is the curse of my horrid condition: pure, extreme-hardcore porn. It distracts me. I'm late. Sorry.

 

As I was saying, as you know by now, North Carolina will probably win this game. M. State and The Izzo-ard (yes, a reference to Eddie Izzard. It's a blog, what do you expect - journalism?) are having a storied season, as Izzo's teams are prone to do. They've been flying high ever since the comeback against Kansas.

 

And in case you're wondering - no, it doesn't make me as a Jayhawk fan feel better seeing how far M. State is going. It makes me feel worse. It makes me realize KU could have, SHOULD HAVE, made it to the championship.

 

I think Williams can chalk up his second National Title tonight, and continue to etch his name just slightly under "Dean Smith." The man is an amazing coach.

 

Despite that very close loss to M. State, Bill Self was named and should have been named the AP Coach of the Year. What he was able to accomplish this season was amazing. We all know the story, title last year, players leave, KU's all like not real good, then it's like "whoa these guys could be good", then you're all hey they're pretty fuckin' good" - the loss this year was a tough one, but a Sweet 16 was honestly not expected this year. Hell, we had a title last year.

 

There's been some speculation that Aldrich and Collins - KU's two stars - will enter the NBA draft. Aldrich was great in the tourney, but not great enough to earn the kind of dough he'll get if he stays one more year and dominates the post across all of NCAA basketball. I think he'll stay around, and if he stays, my guess is Collins will give it a try to get one more title. Rock Chalk motherfuckers.

A trade for Jay Cutler has been finalized. Of course, here in Denver, it's all we've heard about, I mean even more than on national sports shows. We get Kyle Orton, which I'm glad to see. He's got a great hipster beard.

 

Aww, his hands look coldy woldy.

 

It will be interesting to see if they hang on to Orton, and if so how he performs under McDaniel's system. He's shown flashes of great talent, so who knows.

 

As for the burning question -- yes, everyone here hates Cutler now. He's a total dick.

After Pat Bowlen's decision to attempt to trade him, Jay Cutler told a reporter from FoxSports.com, "I didn't want to get traded."

 

To echo what every Denver native,every morning sports show, every non-Jay Cutler human being is saying to themselves right now: you could have f3cking fooled me.

 

You didn't want to get traded...

 

If you were going to pull whatever it was you were doing, maybe you shouldn't have done it with Pat Bowlen as your boss.

There are those who idly sit by, sipping their PBRs, kicking back with their worn out converse, jamming the Dandy Warhols (the first album you dick, not the "popular" one). Ah yes, the dog days of hipsterdom.

 

Then there are those that seek not merely to bask in irony, but to etch there names in only the most elite of hipster hierarchy. Those who say, no!, I will not simply be a douchebag, I will be THE douchebag.

 

Jay Cutler, my friends, has finally reached this pinnacle.

 

Pat Bowlen, who as we know is one of those dudes that when he speaks up, your nards slightly shrink, has had it with Jay Cutler. And apparently, all of Denver has as well.

 

A poll on the Denver Post shows that roughly 60% say good riddance. 60% of Denver, who have essentially canonized Elway, and would literally lick his ass if given the opportunity.

 

That says a lot. And the whining, sniveling QB better hope he doesn't end up like T.O. - a detriment to every team he goes to, and fodder for TMZ.

 

That being said, here's some exciting news: SportingHipster.com has it's first OFFICIAL candidate for the Hipster Sportsman of the Year. Congrats to Jay Cutler on this dubious honor.
