Russell Westbrook has knee surgery. Photo credit NBA  by J.T. After watching Russell Westbrook on Christmas day, I thought to myself, “The Thunder are a real threat”. Westbrook was fresh off of an effortless triple double versus the Knicks. For Thunder fans it was no reason to panic, but after news their starting point guard will be out at until after the All Star break, it gives fans some reason to worry.

by @Swampy_Swami (Gene Henke) HO! HO! HOOOOOO! Merry Christmas from SwampaClaus everybody! It is such a great time of year isn’t it? Despite the fact that it sure does bring a tear to my eye as the season is almost over. We are currently full steam ahead on the Polar Express headed toward the Playoffs and things are indeed heating up! As we approach the second to last Holy Sunday of the year, teams are fighting for their playoff lives while others are getting their Grinch on and playing spoiler. How exciting! Last week was definitely the worst Muck of the year as the SwampMan went a brutal 1-3-1 in The Muck Five . No excuses, that is just terrible! However I vow to make it up to you with a little Holiday treat this week; five stocking stuffer picks for all the good little boys and girls! We sure do have some good ones on tap for us tomorrow and I can’t wait. It’s like Christmas Even in the Swamp today! Without further ado, I bring to you the week 16 edition of The Weekly Muck, e...

Robinson Cano and Jay-Z by J.T. The internet went nuts when reports surfaced that Robinson Cano wanted a 10 year deal worth $305 million. Yeah, he wanted the South Beach area code from any MLB team that would listen. They say aim high and that’s what Cano and Roc Nation did. A lot of people bashed him and Roc Nation’s figurehead Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter for the original demands, but everybody even them knew the amount of $305 million would never become a reality.

Have no fear because your favorite SwampMan is here! First off I just want to apologize for the extremely tardy posting of this week’s Mucky 5; it has been a very busy week for the Swamper. I know last week I promised to go 5-0 and it looks like I have to apologize again for falling one short and going a solid 4-1. If you followed the five picks, I am pretty sure you won’t be too mad at me though, heheh. I am a firm believer that if not for the blizzard of the season in Philly, the Lions join the Dolphins, Vikings, Falcons, and Chargers in the week 14 Swampthing winner’s party. Don’t fret my friends, as I feel very strongly about the following plays. So without further ado, I bring to you, the week 15 edition of The Weekly Muck , enjoy folks!

Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva for UFC 168 by Kendrick E. Johnson When Anderson Silva and Chris Weidman face off in the octagon for the second time this year – it will be the final match in what has been a great year for MMA in 2013. Not bad for a sport celebrating its 20 th  anniversary, which was initially compared to human cock fighting by some  back in the day. If UFC has its way, Silva-Weidman 2 will be the exclamation point they are looking for to cap off the year.

Matt Prater hits 64-yard field goal to break record. Photo credit NFL  by J.T. Matt Prater broke Tom Dempsey's longest field goal record knocking down a 64 yarder in Denver. The ball does travel further in Denver but it's still a heck of a kick.

Adrian Peterson and the Minnesota Vikings take on the Baltimore Ravens. Photo credit NFL  by  @Swampy_Swami (Gene Henke) Helloooooooooo everyone and welcome once again to The Weekly Muck ! Week 14 has snuck up on us pretty quickly here and the SwampMan is not too happy about it. The season will be gone before we know it! So let us be sure to enjoy these last remaining weeks while they are here. Last week Swamper went a measly 3-2 again after the Amish Rifle threw an interception on the Titan’s potential backdoor covering drive and the Redskins blew a win at the end once again. That one had me ticked off as I will blame the ending on the zebras but that is an argument for another day. The good news was the Panthers romped the Bucs as planned, the Vikings overcame some unlucky adversity to get a win in OT, and the Seahawks absolutely destroyed the Saints on Monday night like we predicted to give the SwampDocta 3 winnas. This week I plan to get out of this 3-2 rut and giv...
