Closing Time
As this is being posted the final day of competition is beginning in Beijing — yes, the Olympics are coming to a close.
It’s been a great two weeks and I’ve enjoyed every minute of it. I’ve watched more events then I can possibly remember — everything from fencing to track and field to badminton to [...]
Safety Pins and the Olympics
As I’ve said in numerous posts, I love the Olympics. I enjoy the competition, the stories, the sports, everything. But one thing I absolutely don’t understand is why athlete numbers are still attached to uniforms by safety pins. It doesn’t make any sense. Surely there is a better way.
I mean, they talk almost nightly about [...]
Michael Phelps is the Olympics
I don’t have much to say about Michael Phelps that hasn’t been said on just about every computer screen, tv, radio and newspaper in the world. He’s pretty much the most incredible athlete on the planet. Eight gold medals in a single Olympics is a feat that probably will not be bested for quite some [...]
Time to Get Your Olympics On
Every four years, well two if you count the winter games, the world comes together in the spirit of competition to celebrate athletes and the games they play. This year the torch stops in Beijing, China for the summer games.
I happen to love the Olympics and all that they stand for. When they come around [...]
Shameless Promotion
Earlier this evening I went to the Amway Arena (how lame is that?) to watch the Predators work the Saber Cats like it’s, well, like it’s their job. One thing about the Predators is that they have sold pretty much every bit of everything they do to some sponsor. They play on Hummer Field, there [...]
Red Sox Nation Takes Over New Yankee Stadium
This is pretty cool. Anything to curse/jinx/beat/insert_verb_here the Yankee’s is fine with me. Be it bugs or Red Sox t-shirts, I’m cool with it. Someone throw something in the Met’s new stadium while you’re at it.

I’m Pretty Sure Perjury is a Crime
Tonight on ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption Tony Kornheiser said that the perjury conviction and jail sentence for Marion Jones, the perjury investigation on Berry Bonds, and the potential perjury investigation on Roger Clemens is ridiculous. “There are more important criminals out there,” Kornheiser said.
The last I checked perjury is a crime, and a pretty serious [...]
The Rick Ankiel Story
Have you heard the story of the pitcher who couldn’t throw strikes so he became an outfielder instead? Sounds like the start to a bad joke doesn’t it? Though Rick Ankiel would hardly call his career a joke. From US Today’s High School Player of the Year to nobody in the blink of an eye, [...]
Chicks Dig the Long Ball
Today is Opening Day for Major League Baseball. Sure, there was a game last night, but Opening Night has nothing on a 13 game Opening Day. I’ve been watching baseball game after baseball game since 1pm. It’s been a great day. In honor of Opening Day, I’d like to share with you all one of [...]
Fantasy Baseball Blowout
Yes my friends, baseball is again back. We’re well into the second week of the 162 game season and that means a few things. The Braves are working on their 15th straight divisional title, the Mets are trying to dethrone them, the Yankees are evil and Barry Bonds is a roids warrior (and [...]
