Loading ...In addition to regular security, the celebration police were called to Canada to make sure nobody had too good a time after winning medals. Thank goodness! If there’s something I can’t stand, it’s athletes releasing all their pent up emotion in a joyous reaction to a fantastic accomplishment. Canada’s women’s hockey team is the latest [...]
While most of his sponsors are running away faster than a putt on the lightning-fast greens at Augusta, Nike won’t drop Tiger. And it’s clear to me why…Nike has more to lose than the others. Let’s get one thing straight. Advertisers don’t make moves because of morals. They make moves because of money. I can [...]
Just like athletes, we enjoy reaching statistical milestones. Wednesday night, when “There It Is!” hits the air, it will be our 500th show since we started in December 2007. Come join all the fun as we celebrate the special show with lots of giveaways courtesy of our great sponsors, including Heidi’s Brooklyn Deli, Tina Marie’s [...]
LaDainian Tomlinson was officially released by the San Diego Chargers on Monday. And I hated it. No, I’m not a Chargers fan. In fact, I’m not even a Tomlinson fan. Heck, I advocated trading him TWO YEARS AGO after he sat on the bench and sulked during the AFC Championship Game against the Patriots. But I still [...]
If you love hockey, you really loved watching the U.S. play Canada on Sunday. The action was relentless, the goaltending was spectacular and the tension was palpable. It was so intense by the end of the game, analyst Ed Olczyk said it was, “tremendously tremendous!” I couldn’t agree more. Not quite a miracle, but still pretty impressive. This wasn’t college [...]
Lindsey Vonn started it with a gutty gold in the downhill. Shani Davis kept it going in the 1,000 meters. And Shaun White finished it off in the halfpipe. Three golds. Three dominating performances. By three superstars in their sports. Sometimes Olympic favorites go down in flames. The talk, the hype and the pressure become [...]
In the week after the Super Bowl, I expected a letdown in the sports world. After such a riveting contest to finish the season of our favorite sport, I wondered if anything else would be able to step into the void and make us say, “Wow!” Turns out my fears were unfounded, as there were plenty [...]
There are a ton of great events during NBA All-Star Weekend including H.O.R.S.E, Rookie Challenge, Skills Challenge, Slam Dunk and the All-Star Game itself. But as far as I’m concerned, Schoolhouse Rock was right when it said, “Three is a Magic Number.” I’ve always loved the three-point shot. Size doesn’t matter. Foot speed doesn’t matter. Ball handling doesn’t [...]
There were 20 minutes left in halftime when Saints head coach Sean Payton walked past Thomas Morstead and casually said, “We’re running it.” The Saints’ punter then sat in his locker for the rest of the break TERRIFIED because he knew his team’s chance to win Super Bowl XLIV might rest on his right foot. [...]
The New Orleans Saints are a good story. The Indianapolis Colts are the better team. Super Bowl XLIV could turn out to be one of the best ever if both offenses play up to their abilities. The Saints carry the hopes and dreams of fans in the city still trying to recover from Hurricane Katrina. Not [...]
