The Sports Brewery

The Team

Here, for your enjoyment, we present The Sports Brewery Team in all their inebriated glory and unabashed enthusiasm for rough-housing in no particular order …

Goodplaye

my name is Evan Scarola (Scar, goodplaye) and i love balling outta control. i’m the one guy on the team that can honestly say that i’ve dunked a basketball…and i did it three times thank you very much. i’m a baseball/basketball guy first and also follow football with lots of interest. i am growing quite fond of golf, bowling, ping pong, and beer pong so they are rapidly climbing up that list. i’m a die hard Yankee fan and i’m not sure where i would be without JFP’s (Jeter fist pumps). i love the Blazers, the Ducks, and i’m a huge fan of steroids in all major sports. nothing gets me fired up like monster home run or an extreme thunder dunk, preferably an OKR (Oden knee raise). i like to think that i know my shit but honestly the only thing i know for sure is how to talk it.

SKI

The only thing i’m more knowledgeable on then movies is sports. And the only things that i’m     more addicted to are gambling and video games. Well since I pretty much summed up my life in one sentence i’ll move on to other things. I’m oldschool in the fact that I love the dead sports of boxing (MMA is not included) and horse racing, but young enough to know that money can buy you a championship and steroids can help you hit homers.

I have a west coast bias to help even it out with all eastcoasters who can’t stay up to watch great sports out here, but I have no problem bashing the teams here either (i’m looking at you Wazzu and you Mariners). I’ll leave you with a quote from the great Jake Taylor(Major League) that will sum up my time blogging here, “I’m hungover, my knees are killin me and if your going to pull this shit at least you could’ve said you were from the Yankees”.

When it comes to sports, I know nothing, literally.Honestly, I am about as insightful as ESPNs Teams on the 20s (Peyton Manning likes to watch film and Jim Caldwell says tackling and scoring will be important) and interesting as a Big10 offense. Me talking sports often times resembles Pat Robertson talking about NAMBLA or Spencer Pratt talking about, well, anything… Though, oddly enough, I have never been on the wrong side of an argument, let alone an argument based around sports. Essentially I am the 1972 Miami Dolphins, No one else is on my block, let alone alone knocking on my front door. If you love inflated egos, slimy coaches (here’s a tip of the cap to my boy, Lane Kiffin) and stat stuffers, we would get along brilliantly. If you’re a fan of lunch pails. hard work and class, I got no room for you in my T Mobile Fav 5. Mazel Tov, bitches!

PS, I’m totally awesome, and already in your head.

My opinions compare to that cheesy-ass smile: you either like it or you’re jealous of it.  HA!  Now that you hate me, I have just the dialogue to repair my image:

At TSB, we take it one day at a time.  Nobody is giving us any respect right now, so we will continue to give 110% day in and day out to prove all the haters wrong.  For us to succeed, our readers need to make plays, squat on routes, fly around, and win the battle of the trenches.

I tend to consider myself an aficionado of all things Pugilistic and Track and Field. Sadly, I’m only a mild expert in the Ancient Greek tradition of Athletics and an avid follower of the sweet science. I also would like to list my strong abilities as a handicapper here as a personal strength. However, I am only technically actually classified as a moderately unsuccessful degenerate. In the fairness of full disclosure, it should also be noted that I have a small stake in a litter of racing greyhounds. Yes Greyhounds, and no, my ROI is not fairing so well at the moment. In addition, this space also will include my venomous rants against the Notre Dame Football, Big Ernie Kent’s inept coaching abilities, “King” James and his rag tag group of misfits the Cavaliers, and the legalities of sports gambling. To wrap it all up, keep your chin down, your hands up, and your bookies number close at hand. LET’S GET IT ON!!!

Watching a lot of sports is what I do. At least I try to view as much as I can now that I’m hitched to my lovely wife — who I met through my own fantasy football league. Football, basketball, baseball are my big 3 viewing pleasures, but I can have an opinion on much more. I’m a former a former East coast guy now living in Oregon, so my opinions may have an East coast bias mixed with a growing West coast knowledge.

Stake

I enjoy the sporting world and the entertainment associated, even more so when I’ve got something riding on it. If you want the facts and not some talking head noise, I probably cant help. I’m a fan of  the Mariners, and B.Roy&Co. The Ducks of Oregon also get my attention, minus basketball. Sources tell me that there will be a head basketball coaching vacancy as early as March.
If someone needs a captain for their bandwagon, I’m accepting. Although, if a bashing is deserved, then I will bash like Big Mac & Jose…So, tee it up, strap it on, get it in gear, and leave it all on the field, because its game time!!

Mark 16:15

I bleed Green and Yellow and know the NFL, but I really enjoy going through the ebb and flow of the sports year.  From the NCAA tournament to the NBA playoff to the World Series and all the major Golf, Tennis and miscellaneous events in between I’ll touch on them all.  In fact it’s my goal to write about soccer every day during the World Cup.  So take a seat and I’ll see you in comments section.
