Loading ...So I woke up Sunday morning to the following email: American Airlines Flight 1964 Date: January 31 Departing: Burbank, California Arriving: Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas Status: We are sorry this flight has been canceled We are working to rebook your itinerary and will update you shortly. That wasn’t too terrible. But the next one was: We [...]
This Sunday, for the first time since September 13, 2009, there won’t be an NFL game that matters. I know, the Pro Bowl will be on. But it’s not a real game. Heck, it’s not even as interesting as the preseason. For 20 consecutive Sundays, I watched my favorite teams and players battle it out four quarters at a [...]
The PGA season has begun without the game’s greatest player. Of course, the show must go on. But while this may be an opportunity for other players to win more tournaments and money, by all accounts they all want Tiger to return. Phil Mickelson, who stands to profit the most, considering he’s probably the second [...]
Andre Dawson was recently elected to the baseball Hall of Fame. He wanted to be inducted as a Chicago Cub. Instead, the HoF decided he would enter as a Montreal Expo. And that’s just not right. If a player has performed at such a high level as to be enshrined in Cooperstown, he has earned the right to [...]
I’ve always liked sudden-death overtime in sports. Knowing that on any play, at any moment, the game could end, pushes the excitement to a nerve-wracking level. It’s truly the thrill of victory for one side and the agony of defeat for the other. It works perfectly in hockey, where each side can score or be scored upon once the [...]
What a pair of games on Sunday. The cinderella story J-E-T-S JETS JETS JETS nearly knocked off the perfect-in-games-they-tried-to-win Colts and then the Saints and Vikings played an overtime classic. Though the games were completely different, there was a common theme, turnovers. Of course, not all turnovers are created equally. Did he really just do that? With [...]
This Sunday will be the third time the Jets play in the AFC Championship game. The first time, they were shut out, 14-0, by the hated Dolphins. The second time, they led 10-0 in the third quarter but committed six turnovers and lost 23-10 to the Broncos. Will the third time be the charm? As much [...]
It’s not December 1963, but Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons’ song, “Oh What A Night,” certainly applies Thursday. With the Lakers visiting the Cavs, we get to watch the two best players in the NBA, namely LeBron and Kobe. In the first meeting, LeBron and Co crushed the Lakers. You know Kobe loves a [...]
There’s nothing that gets a team energized after a losing season like bringing in a head coach who has failed somewhere else. Seriously, are the Buffalo Bills trying to drive their fans away? In 1998, they hired Wade Phillips, who was 16-16 with a playoff loss with the Broncos before getting fired. He lasted three [...]
Ray Allen doesn’t mind fans voting for the NBA All-Star teams, he just doesn’t want them to have full authority. He proposed giving the fans 50% of the power, with the players and the media getting the other 50%. While I understand his logic, especially when Allen Iverson and Tracy McGrady shouldn’t even make the teams but will [...]
