THE POP EXPOSE ‘Would You Compete in This Game Show’?

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

Would you participate in this game show? We were talking about the NHL playoffs at the office this past week and some of the shots that players block. This got me thinking about creating a game show where you choose a sporting event and compete against a professional athlete for a chance to win money. The easier sports would be less money and the value would go up the harder the sport or as the chance of beating the athlete decreased . Now sense this is hypothetical I may break…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘MLB Opening Day 2019’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Baseball season is here! Baseball season is upon us. The oldest sport in the US has lost its luster a bit in recent years, but it will always hold a special spot in my heart. I started watching baseball in the late 80’s when the Oakland Athletics had great team, with guys like Jose Canseco, Rickey Henderson, and Dennis Eckersley to name a few. Me living in the sticks our TV channels were limited and in the early 90’s one of the only stations I got that played sports was…

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

Super Bowl Sunday, a long season and it all comes down to 1 game to be crowned champs. There have been some great teams over the years and players that have been unmatched even by today’s modern game. One position that gets the most recognition and has produced so many household names is the quarterback position. There have been so many great quarterbacks over the years and we all know Tom Brady has a million Super Bowls under his belt and has won half of them so you’re too successful…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Who is the NBA’s GOAT’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

There have been several Super Stars and players who have been unmatched at their respective positions over the years. Many players come to mind when I think best at their position such as O’Neal, Abdul-Jabbar, and Iverson, but for 1 person to take over in the clutch and make every player around them better, and to consistently win games, championships, and fans over, only a few come to mind. Someone equally threatening on defense as they are on offence and equal on and off the court. I’m sure the few…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘NFL Playoffs’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

Many NFL teams seasons came to an end last week as far as playoffs are concerned. Probably the most disappointing loss was the Green Bay Packers who in response to the lose head coach Mike McCarthy was fired. Many teams got some meaningful wins as far as finishing the season strong and working on next year such as the Cardinals who beat GB, and Giants beating the Bears for a huge win as far as their season goes, but even though it keeps their playoff hopes alive it’s probably just a moral…

The POP EXPOSE ‘Baseball Ain’t What it Used To Be’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, 0 comment

Baseball has been traced back to the 1700’s and became popular in the U.S. during the Civil War when soldiers would play to keep busy when they had down time. In the late 1800’s a professional league was formed where men got paid to play baseball. Around the beginning of the 1900’s Baseball started taking shape and the MLB was born. Times were different back then, there was no TV and going to a game was a way to relax, let loose, and probably most of all pass time. I love…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘NFL The Changing Game’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , , 0 comment

The NFL has been under the gun the last 2 years mostly due to the players kneeling to the National Anthem. If you take this aspect away nothing has really changed all that much. Football is still football, there are a handful of trouble makers and a few that create drama and public scrutiny, but most of the players get up every day go to work, have families to support, and do a lot of good for their communities. So if you were able to overlook the drama the past couple of years you…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘The NHL Playoffs’ by Mitchell Smith!

NHL Playoffs are in full swing and this year is proving to be a very exciting year for hockey fans. I love watching many different sports, and playoff/championship time is always fun to watch for me in any sport, but NHL Playoffs are one of my favorite sport with some of the toughest men on the planet. What other sport do you see someone take a slap shot to the face, go out, get stitched up on the sideline, and come back in to score a game winning goal. Hockey in the 90’s…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘The Winter Olympics’ By Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

I love the Olympics especially the Winter Olympics. GI grew up just 10 miles south of Lake Placid home of the 1932 and 1980 Winter Olympics. I’m sure many of you know about the 1980 Men’s hockey team who upset Russia and brought home a very unlikely gold medal. Being so close to the Olympics was interesting to watch growing up.  This is a small town, and one of few if not the only Olympic Venue where you can see the Bob run, ski jumps, Ice arena, and Whiteface Mountain…

THE POP EXPOSE ‘Your Super Bowl Pick’ by Mitchell Smith!

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl? Most people who are not Patriots fans will be rooting for the Eagles today. I was a Patriots fan back in the 1990’s and even went to Giant stadium to watch them play and got Drew Bledsoe’s autograph. Once Brady took over I kind of lost interest and have not been a fan since then. The Super Bowl has held host to some great Quarterbacks. One thing that you can’t take away from Tom Brady is the success he has had at the highest level, he…

Serpentorslair Staff, , 0 comment

The NCAA Basketball Tournament has had many memorable moments including blowouts, upsets, last second shots, and raw emotions. The Final four is always a major milestone for any team to reach and if one team can put together that one monumental championship game it may go down in history. The Oregon Ducks won the first NCAA championship game beating Ohio State 46 to 33. This must have been a real barn burner, remember there was no 3 pointers or shot clocks back then, so there must have been a lot…

Vince Lombardi was born June 11, 1913 in Brooklyn, NY and passed away at age 57 in 1970. Lombardi’s name is raised high once a year when 1 NFL team prevails as the Super Bowl Champion. In his early teens, Vince would help his father in the family butcher shop. Although Vince and both his parents were born in America his family was subject to the rampant discrimination against Italian immigrants at the time. He grew up in an ethnically diverse middle class neighborhood where religion was very important to…
