Shek Solo

Brought to you by the guys at bindledog.com and inspired by Dave Dameshek. Our hero Dave dons his Han Solo vest and blaster and settles a sports bet with the slippery and infamous Greedo...


If the NCAA Ruled the World

I suppose it's good news that the SEC has acknowledged the refs got it wrong at the end of the LSU-Georgia game on Saturday. After all, the excessive celebration penalty called against Bulldogs receiver A.J. Green was beyond awful. Defending it would be as absurd as nominating David Letterman for Husband of the Year.

Quality Control

Welcome to October. Things are about to get really good. In addition to football, we've got the major league baseball playoffs starting next week. The NHL regular season is just getting going. By the end of the month, the NBA will be here, too. Apologies in advance to my lovely wife -- I'll see you on Thanksgiving. Story »

Twists and Turns

The college and NFL football seasons are still just getting warmed up. It's way too early to look at teams' records and make assumptions about who's good and who stinks. (Well, besides those two NFL teams in Missouri; the Rams and Chiefs both definitely stink.) Story »

Pigskin Platter

Listen, I love a good debate as much as anybody, but there are just certain issues that don't require a winner and a loser. When it comes to In-N-Out versus Fatburger, I refuse to choose. I'm happy to live in a world that offers both. Same goes for "The Godfather" versus "The Godfather: Part II." The Ramones versus The Clash. Minka Kelly versus Eliza Dushku... College football versus the NFL. Story »

The Heisman Trophy Speaks!

Welcome back to college football season! Hope you had a swell summer. No need to stare. It really is me, the Heisman Trophy. Please, call me HT. You're not walking away? Thanks, I appreciate it. Let's just say I've been getting the stiff-arm lately. Seems like I just don't have the same cache I once did. Story »

Hypothetical Horatio

CSI Miami's Horatio Caine wants YOU... to submit your scenarios for 'Hypothetical Horatio.'

Email dave@710espn.com with your ideas. If Dameshek uses yours, you'll win a prize more handsome than David Caruso himself! (Not to mention immeasurable glory.) Follow along on twitter to play the game every Monday! Here's some recent episodes:

9/25: Net Sold Down the River
9/2: Radio Host Signs Off
8/26: Punted from the Jumbotron
8/19: Deadly Contract Holdout
8/10: Football Hall of Fame


It was one thing when Goody-Goody-Dell instituted his player conduct policy, but he crossed a line by trying to dictate the behavior of the fan. We aren't his employees. Matter of fact, since we're the ones who pay for the tickets, aren't we his bosses to some degree?
Thanks, Goodell, but we can handle it ourselves. Matter of fact, I recently asked for the Shek Republic's help with this righteous endeavor, and they answered the bell. Take a look at the Fan Conduct Policy, constructed not unlike our nation's constitution: for the fans, by the fans. Click Here »

Painful Losses

The Dopple Gang


In case you weren't paying attention during eighth-grade English class, dictionary.com defines 'doppelganger' thusly:
Dop-pel-gäng-er: noun
a (ghostly) double or counterpart of a living person
Yeah, bits that point out the fact that two people look alike have gotten pretty stale over the last few years, but some examples are just too good to pass up. In other words, if acknowledging physical similarities is considered hacky, then move over, Carrot Top... Dameshek is on the scene!
