The year end AVP awards are slightly bullshitty. Sure, it is nice to reward single players for their work but for the most part this is a two person team sport. Misty doesn’t work without Kerri and vice versa. Rogers doesn’t work without Dalhauser, DeNiro, DiCaprio and Pecshi aren’t as good in a Non-Scorcese flick. […]
See Dave on Mojo TV: Hulu – Beach Volleyball: Youngs and Branagh: A Shot at Glory Roughly ten days ago, Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh collapsed in embarrassing style to the Chinese team. As Nicole summed it up, “This was not the match in which to have a bad day.” They were served up and […]
The number one question I have been asked lately is “Why do the women wear bikinis at the beach volleyball events?” This is usually accompanied by a sneer that implies that I only watch the sport for the T&A. To which I always respond “You mean their uniforms? You don’t ask ‘Why does a ballplayer […]
See Dave on Mojo TV: Hulu – Beach Volleyball: Youngs and Branagh: A Shot at Glory Do Kerri Walsh and and Misty May realize that this dumbfuck would drill for oil on every stop of the AVP tour if he could? Kerri and Misty– STOP HANGING OUT WITH THIS GUY! It's bad for the sport! […]
Check moi out on MOJO TV this weekend! The girls of summer have finally made it back to the states. For the first time since slamming sand in Huntington, the top seeds have made it back… to Brooklyn and Long Beach. And yes, it is a little too late for Team Crackpot.
It was announced today that Elaine Youngs and Nicole Branagh have clinched the number 2 spot for the U.S. Olympic Beach Volleyball Team. Now, I really don’t have anything against these two. Branagh has been a spitfire all season. EY has been EY; fearless, fierce and simply the hardest working woman in all of Pro-Beach […]
It’s a sad day in Hermosa Beach. The AVP have found a way to get around the all “beaches are free” rule and are now ratcheting up the ticket prices to a hefty $20 a day to attend. Last year, when they started charging for the Huntington Beach Open, I commented “This may play in […]
Going to the AVP is always a good day. If you are in Huntington Beach, a little less so. Last year, I walked away from last year’s HB open– cold. This year the experience wasn’t, ya know, bad it was just flaccid. Last year’s shock cover charge of $20 a day I was prepared for. […]
The Derby Dolls take and shove it for one more spin May 3 for the Championship of the world. Don’t miss it. Bring Cash (no debit cards). The LA Sports scene leaves something to be desired. Kobe Bryant is a spoiled crybaby. Nomar phones it in. Joe Torre has yet to impress me. I can’t […]
Jen Boss Last weekend’s Miami AVP Open offered few surprises in the upper ranks. Team TerrorMisty May and Kerri Walsh reigned supreme. There were a couple of chinks in their lycra armor dropping one to EY and Nicole, but they held steady. Rachel Wacholder and Tyra Turner got knocked out in the semifinals as did […]
