The Broncos Will Bust The BCS

In 2007, Boise State completed an undefeated season by shocking Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.
In 2010, Boise State completed an undefeated season by knocking off TCU in the Fiesta Bowl.
In 2011, Boise State will complete another undefeated by winning the BCS Title game to be played in…you guessed it…the Fiesta Bowl.
OK, so that’s not a foregone [...]

Manny Being Manny Chicago-Style

How far has Manny Ramirez’ stock fallen since the Honeymoon in LA? The Dodgers let the White Sox take him on a waiver claim and didn’t ask for a player back.
So it goes at the end of the Mannywood Era in Chavez Ravine, where love blossomed after the trade deadline marriage in 2008. [...]

A Sweet and Sour Six-Pack of Thoughts

It’s good to be back.  After three weeks away, including a family trip to NYC, I’m excited for my return to blogging here and babbling on the radio.  And wouldn’t you know it, so many of my favorites showed up to welcome me back, including The F-Word, Mr. Misremembered and more.  Thanks to all for coming out and showing [...]

An Automotive Six-Pack of Thoughts

Traffic in LA is awful.  No matter what time of day, what day of the week, chances are you will be stuck in a traffic jam.  Having attended a night games at Dodger Stadium on Friday and a day game on Sunday, I can attest to that.  With automobiles on the brain, here are my thoughts this Monday: 

If [...]

The Tables Have Turned On Tiger

It used to be just his mere presence intimidated other golfers, such was Tiger’s dominance. But now that his superhero status has been revoked, it seems he’s not quite sure how to deal with it.
Tiger looks uncomfortable and unsure of himself. He seems to be thinking, instead of doing, and when you get lost in [...]

The Streak Is Over

It took 14 years, but the National League finally won an All-Star Game.Â
Brian McCann’s three-run double in the 7th inning was the big blow, but it was the pitching that made it possible.  Nine hurlers combined to give up just six hits and one unearned run, setting the stage for McCann’s heroics.  Jonathan Broxton closed [...]

An Embarrassing Spectacle Six-Pack of Thoughts

I was hoping LeBron’s narcissistic episode would be the last embarrassing spectacle for a while.  As usual, it turns out I was wrong.  His might have been the worst, but it clearly wasn’t the last.

Act like an owner, not a deranged fan – I get it, Dan Gilbert.  I really do.  But that letter.  Oh that [...]

A New Nickname For LeBron

You can’t be called The King if you leave your castle and go to live where somebody else rules.  Because of that, we need to come up with a new nickname for LeBron James.  I offered this up to listeners and they came up with five excellent suggestions. 

The Jester
The Duchess of Deferral
The Duke of Deferral
Benedict [...]

LeBron Is Going To Miami

No, I didn’t have any insider information.  And I didn’t have any concrete evidence, unless you considered the Suns’ Jared Dudley’s tweet to be The King’s word.  I just thought the way everything played out left LeBron with nowhere to go but the Big Apple.
I just can’t believe he decided go play for Dwyane Wade’s team.
When Chris Bosh [...]
