Loading ...Most of us are enjoying the long holiday weekend with friends and family. We are feasting at barbecues, watching ballgames and spending time at the beach. It’s fine to have fun, just don’t forget what Monday’s holiday is really all about. Memorial Day commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military. They gave their lives to [...]
On Tuesday’s show, in my final segment, I spoke at length about why I thought we were on the verge of an historic comeback in the NBA. After watching the Celtics crumble in Wednesday’s Game 5 in Orlando, I’m even more convinced the Magic will pull it off. Here’s why I really believed it could [...]
On Tuesday night, TNT aired an interview Marv Albert conducted with President Obama. I’m glad I wasn’t watching. It seems like every time I’m watching a sporting event, I’m subjected to the President’s opinion. And frankly, I don’t care what he thinks about the NBA or LeBron’s free agency or the BCS or the NCAA Tournament [...]
Whenever I said something stupid when I was younger, my Dad would remind me of one of his favorite sayings: Put brain in gear before mouth goes in motion. It’s time for me to do the right thing and pass along his good advice. On Monday, Corey Pavin said Tiger Woods won’t automatically make the [...]
“Stepping up.” “Taking it to the next level.” “Raising your game.” There are plenty of cliches to describe individuals in sports that need to elevate their play to achieve victory. This past weekend, six of them did just that in a variety of ways. Dustin Byfuglien – Scoring a game-winner in the NHL playoffs is [...]
Apparently you can lead MLB umpires to a replay system, but you can’t make them use it. In Wednesday’s Baltimore/Texas game, Josh Hamilton hit a ball that was ruled a double but turned out to be a home run. The replay system is all set up to handle a situation like this. Unfortunately, an umpire’s [...]
I’m not sure why the Olympic Games need mascots. But since they apparently do, can we at least make sure the people creating them are sober when decisions are made. Being under the influence is the only plausible explanation for how London came up with Wenlock and Mandeville. The mascots for the 2012 games are one-eyed mascots [...]
It’s better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. On Tuesday, Florida Marlins’ shortstop Hanley Ramirez removed all doubt. One night after being removed from a game for not hustling after a ball he made an error on, Ramirez ripped his manager, Fredi Gonzalez, for [...]
The Flyers trailed the Bruins 3-0 in their playoff series and then 3-0 in the seventh and deciding game before rallying to win. But if you ask me, that pales in comparison to the comeback pulled off by the Michigan baseball team over the weekend. Needing a win to stay alive in the Big Ten title [...]
I grew up in NY and my favorite newspaper was The Post. Known for its crazy headlines and tabloid journalism, it always had great sports coverage of all the local teams. But I also enjoyed some other parts of the paper, including the Weird But True section, which contained a number of bizarre stories that [...]
