As the old cliché goes, “all good things must come to an end.” Unfortunately, that saying includes blogs that use old clichés. Yup, today Scorecard officially says adiós after close to a year of existence. Along with farewell, I’d also like to give a big “thank you” to a bunch of different folks. Thanks to the readers, the people who left comments (shout-out to the guy with the Kobe obsession…you know who you are), the websites that served as invaluable resources (deadspin.com Read More

Well, time for another edition of the Week in Review. Honestly, with the amount of inactivity in the sports world right now a more appropriate title might be the Weak in Review. Preseason football (blaaah), a couple interesting races in baseball but nothing special (at least the Mets-being-the-sports-equivalent-of-the-Titanic has been fascinating/sad), and the NBA seems further away than my next Fourth of July BBQ. Hey, things might be slow, but they never stop, which means enough bemoaning about the-end of-summer-drought and time to check out the juiciest story Read More

Normally I skip pre-season NFL games (especially when neither squad counts as “my team”) like Michelle Rodriguez avoids roadside sobriety tests. Last night, however, Mark Sanchez made his first “start” for the New York Jets, and being a guy with a Latino sports blog, I felt obligated to tune in (at least for the duration of Sanchez’s PT) and report. In his debut, the former USC quarterback drew the Baltimore Ravens as opp Read More

OK fight fans, try and contain yourself but we may have a once-in-a-lifetime bout in the works. Read More

Does Chad Ochocinco love Latinos so much he wants to be one? First, the Bengals wide receiver drops Johnson in favor of the “Spanish”-version of eighty-five and now his first name might be up for re-translation…or something. That’s right, following last night’s preseason game against the Patriots, Scorecard’s favorite honorary Latino started referring to himself as Esteban Ochocinco. The name change came about after Ocho nailed a point-after-attempt while subbing in Read More
