It’s the end of the work week and I’m feeling blue. But in this case it’s a good thing, because it’s Dodgers blue and Thursday/Friday are packed with all things Dodgers. On Thursday, Michael Reeves and I will be previewing the NL West and the Dodgers chances to win the division (and for the record, [...]

Forget Super Bowl Sunday. This past Sunday was as good as it gets. The combination of events across a variety of sports led to a day as good as they come. Of course, college hoops had selection day. The brackets were laid out and there are the usual gripes about who should’ve and who shouldn’t [...]
In a week where John Daly made the biggest headlines by errors off the course again, it’s nice to get back to the stories on the course. Because frankly, the Arnold Palmer Invitational should be all about the golf, and now it is. Tiger returned to the tour, and that means the winner will need [...]
