Is The Draft Over Yet?

Roger Goodell announced that this year’s 1st round of the NFL draft was the longest in history. Really? It went so fast for me…NOT. But hey, a bit more than 6 hours for all 32 teams to choose their heart’s desire only to try and sign them now; ain’t bad for a day’s work. [...]

At VA Tech, A Ball Game Is A Relief

As we all found out on Monday after the tragedy at Virginia Tech, sometimes you get up in the morning and try and get to work or school and never make it home. Many of us knew that already with terrible things which have befallen our families but we felt it as a nation, [...]

Blown Out

“I don’t have many bad days. This is a bad day.”
Those were the words of former University of Miami coach Larry Coker after the bench clearing brawl between the Miami Hurricanes and Florida International on October 14th, 2006. I am sure if you are at all interested in college football you saw, read, or [...]

R U TXTing Kidding Me?

Now, I have most definitely seen it all.

For those of you over the age of 40, this doesn’t even concern you; or so I thought.

Two Peat for Tebow

This season, all eyes are on sophomore quarterback, Tim Tebow. After a season which he alternated at the position with Chris Leak, the job is indisputably his. Only thing is, the Gators rushing touchdown leader from 2006 now has to show the college football world he can pass.
Last season, when the 6’3” 234 pounder lined [...]

Good Thing I’m A Lawyer

Well, even non-lawyers had a hell of a week talking about laws, rules and regulations so I guess it didn’t help that much that I’m one of the hated group of “sharks”. Don’t tell me you didn’t talk about one, all or some of the issues presented by the NFL’s new conduct policy, the [...]

Hey Tiger: Want Some Cheese And Crackers With That Whine?

Oh, I see, you LOST the Masters and Mr. Zach Young didn’t WIN it? Does that mean that when you win a tournament the others just lost it, allowing you to swoop in and take it? You see how that goes? It has to work both ways. Hey, I’m one of your biggest fans….I’m [...]

James Is No Sneaker Star

Last week I visited SEED, a D.C. charter school, to watch students compete against the faculty in a flag football game. On my way to the football field I bypassed several basketball courts being utilized by students playing basketball despite the frigid weather.
For many kids living in inner city America, running up and down an [...]

Want An April Fool’s Joke?

How about this: Carl Pavano is the opening day pitcher for the NY Yankees, Roger Federer lost down at the Sony/Ericsson Open to the same guy who beat him the last time he was bounced out of a tennis tournament and with a whole week to prepare, UCLA men’s basketball team still lost to [...]
