The perfect sporting event, continues to evolve and build upon its own perfection. About the only way to screw up something this good, is if you tried to pay the players and make it a quasi-pro league. But let’s not go there today, shall we? If you didn’t absorb and delight over all of these […] Read more

For what it’s worth…. and the answer is… “nothing.” Broad strokes explanations here… 1. I am “all-in” with Wichita State, despite the doubters and the weak schedule. Since so many people (including Vegas sharps) are fading them (15-1 as a #1 seed??) I think if this bold faith in Gregg Marshall’s boys comes home, I’m […] Read more

Have you ever stopped to fully consider “why is Rick Pitino so damn good?” Or Calipari? Or Izzo? Or Boeheim, or K? Of course, one must have excellent basketball knowledge, a teacher’s gift to make players better under your coaching, and the steely nerves to make the right moves when a game is on the […] Read more

So Jim Dolan has his good luck charm.Calling retired, and never-GM’ed-before Phil Jackson anything but, would be a stretch. For a guy who  has never performed this role on an NBA team, who is only *thinking* about moving to New York to grind away at the job (Laguna Beach and Montana are certainly hard to […] Read more

So Warren Buffet and Dan Gilbert are teaming up to give you, me, your mom, and everyone else a chance to win a cool BILLION if we pick the perfect bracket. Sure. Like I said repeatedly: it would be easier to throw a quarter and land it on the moon. Flatfooted. The true odds, the […] Read more

By now, you have likely heard about how my golfing partners thought I was flat out nuts just to leave the golf cart, and get a slightly closer look at a whopper crocodile while golfing at Iberostar Cancun GC last week. Personally, as a lover of golf course animals, how could I pass up this […] Read more

There are times when I simply wonder: “Who the hell does Tiger Woods listen to for advice anymore?” Apparently, nobody. Or, the new cadre of yes-men, who replaced the old cadre, are also too afraid to upset the Tiger Money Train to give him honest, decent counsel. Like, specifically, who in the hell thinks it […] Read more

Warning: I am about to agree with LeBron James on something. Hold on to your hats! Of all the idiotic things the NBA has done over the years, nothing can top this utter mistake known as the sleeved-Euro-jerseys. Let’s see. 1. Looks stupid 2. Designed solely to make more $$$. 3. Negatively affects performance of […] Read more

So let me get this straight. The latest offseason NFL “rumor” I am supposed to believe is that Jim Harbaugh’s “act” is “wearing thin” with some players on the Niners? Oh, god. Honestly? The sports media really thinks anyone with a brain is going to chase this stupid tennis ball of a “report” like an […] Read more

Greetings from Mexico! Where it is NOT 6 degrees and snowing (Milwaukee) and NOT 21 degrees and snowing (Washington D.C. area) and the lakes are all definitely NOT frozen solid from shore to shore (like Lake Michigan). This is my first trip to Cancun and I am wondering why in the hell it took me […] Read more
