I was watching the mighty Davidson team beat up an over-hyped Wisconsin team when I was amazed to see that Lebron James was in the crowd at the game. I read after the game that King James had actually called Davidson to request tickets so he could come see Stephen Curry. Besides [...]

The Los Angeles Dodgers have gotten sick of being second best and never finishing first anymore, so they’ve gone out and bought a $13 million dollar cure — Coach Joe Torre.
Joe Torre is ranked eighth in all-time wins and has won four World Series titles while coaching the New York Yankees. He became well-known for [...]

I was driving to the office this morning (I am on the West Coast this week), and I heard a quote on The Herd on ESPNRadio that was worth sharing. The topic of discussion was whether there is a pro-Duke bias in the media. I think the general consensus is that there is, [...]

In 1908, Jack Norworth said it best to Albert Von Tilzer’s musical score.
“Take me out to the ball game,
Take me out with the crowd.
Buy me some peanuts and Cracker Jack,
I don’t care if I never get back,
Let me root, root, root for the home team,

For it’s one, two, three [...]

Ahhh… in the next two months 3 of the 4 great American sporting events take place. By my definition, a great sporting event is one where non-sports fans know it is something special and want to be a part of it. And in the U.S. there are 4 great American sporting events:

“I will finish it tonight while [...]

When it comes to sporting events I tend to be nostalgic. So even though I was not even contemplated yet as a human being when the Dodgers left Brooklyn, part of me was saddened by yesterday’s final game at Dodgertown in Vero Beach, Florida. The Dodgers announced last year that they are moving [...]

I am an ESPNRadio junkie. And one of the best personalities on ESPNRadio is Kevin Cowherd. On his show today he was going on one of his patented rants and was lighting up TSA agents and their general ineptitude. The best line during the tirade was the following:
“Most TSA [...]

Every year I take the time and analyze the brackets and make my selections. This really is an American sporting tradition. This year I am truly blessed because my lovely wife-to-be bought the March Madness package for me on DirectTV, so I can watch every game if I so choose.
As I hunker [...]

Before I begin to share my calculations with you, I have to admit that I have not been a faithful follower of this tournament historically.  However, due to the company that I keep of late, I have developed a greater interest in this sports phenomenon.  Bear with me if my language isn’t my sports knowledge [...]
