Pink Hat Nation

We talk sports, and make fun of stuff in the world of sports. Lots of San Diego content (Padres, Chargers), as well as baseball and football in general. College football and hoops, too.

We'll also cover UC Santa Barbara and IU Bloomington sports, Red Sox baseball and Venezuelan cock-fighting.

My name is Dave H. on the blog, and I'm pretty much the MC of this 2-and-half-ring circus.

The Weekly Weddle: A Sweet INT
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — So after two weeks of getting burned on the last play of the game (last week by Eddie Royal on a play that never should have happened, by the way), Weddle gets his head in the game and intercepts that one guy who's playing quarterback for the New York Jets.

On football and favorite sons: A nonsensical ramble
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — My house was full of San Diego boys watching the Chargers yesterday, and I was in the other room watching the Red Sox for the first few minutes. For some reason, this got me thinking about how a city is like a family and the sports teams are their children. Bear with me. (more) On football and favorite sons: A nonsensical ramble
Everybody meet Timz...
Everybody meet Timz...
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — So here's just a little pre-Sunday hype for the SD fans here, with a twist of local music. The San Diego born rapper known as Timz is one of the few Iraqi-American (Chaldian, specifically) rap artists getting attention these days. In 2006, his "Super Chargers" was aired on local cable television... (more) Everybody meet Timz...

pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — So the Panthers upset the Chargers in week 1 at home on the last play of the game, as a Jake Delhomme touchtown pass soared over the outstretched fingers of Old No. 32 Eric Weddle.

NFL News: Jaguars recognize the futility of existence
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — While the Jaguars may have been a sexy underdog pick to win the Super Bowl this year, it's going to be tough now that they have realized that life itself is a pointless, empty endeavor. This is just so funny, I had to share: (more) NFL News: Jaguars recognize the futility of existence

Baseball is Still on Too, You Know!
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — Yesterday, while the entire universe was watching football, I was watching the #2 pitcher on one of the worst teams in baseball almost throw a perfect game. The Padres' Chris Young had a no-no through the 7th inning. (more) Baseball is Still on Too, You Know!
Five stages of grief over #12
Five stages of grief over #12
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — Not too far into the first quarter of Sunday's season opener, the Patriots' season died. Well, maybe not. Matt Cassell could turn into Tom Brady circa 2001, or the Pats could bring in Daunte Culpepper and get a vintage season out of him, but let's face it, lightning doesn't strike twice.

Fantasy Thoughts: High on Ricky
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — So by now everyone has their teams, and probably their Week 1 starting lineup penciled in. Now is the time to search the waiver wire for that last minute sleeper, or maybe begin laying some groundwork for an early season swap of a guy you barely missed out on but expect a breakout season from.

pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — Well, the ’08 Summer Olympics are over. Michael Phelps broke records, the Chinese broke the bank, and Morgan Freeman broke my tear ducts with those cloying-yet-you’d-have-to-be-made-of-Terracotta-not-to-cry-at-them Visa ads. Here are a few observations/highlights to wrap up the Games... (more) Zai Jian, Beijing

Fantasy Football: The cure for Blog Hibernation
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — Yes, it's been a while. Yes, we've sucked at keeping up this blog updated with the intra-web shenanigans that all of our seven readers have come to expect. Overall things have been slow, and for Padres fans the dog days of summer baseball have been less than inspiring, to say the least. (more) Fantasy Football: The cure for Blog Hibernation

The NBA: Worst. League. Ever.
pinkhatnation.blogspot.com — Boston clearly outplayed the Lakers, but some of the calls make fans wonder whether or not NBA basketball is a sport.
