I was suspicious about “Draft Day” from the moment I saw the trailer 6 months ago. Even more suspicious when Kevin Costner – a guy I still think of as a major, A-list actor – slumming it on radio row at the Super Bowl, going from banquet table to banquet table of fawning, idiot radio […] Read more

Which is bad for all the Tiger fanboys and associated media co-dependents (I’m looking at YOU, major TV networks!) who are so heavily invested in Tiger one day summiting “Mt. Nicklaus” and planting his black-and-red TW flag. “Phil Mickelson is six years older (than Tiger) and just won the British Open,” a reader named Eric […] Read more

When you hear me talk about the “mean streets of McLean” well, yeah. Good ol’ 22101 ends up on this list of richest NEIGHBORHOODS in America not once, but twice. You’ll also notice that at least double the amount of Maryland suburb equivalents also appear. Now my dad was a government employee for the Department […] Read more

Here’s an utterly depressing thought. What if ESPN, upon self-reflection about all the socially left-leaning, agenda driven coverage of things like Jason Collins, Michael Sam, Richie Incognito et. al., did NOT come to the conclusion that they are potentially turning away/annoying fans who just want to enjoy sports as an “escape”. But rather, came to […] Read more

From the “you can’t make this up” file…. really? look closer? check it out @DR24 #MH370 and its like a mile away Pulau Perak, where they "last" tracked it pic.twitter.com/tqavAe4zIL — Courtney Love Cobain (@Courtney) March 17, 2014 So apparently, we live in a world where we do NOT have a hardwired tracking device on […] Read more

If you are familiar with Gawker Media and it’s founder Nick Denton, this may not be news to you. But if not, Denton might strike you as the very DEVIL of the digital age. I don’t agree that more and more layers of privacy stripped away from citizens is “liberating” (it may be for some, […] Read more

When there’s algebra and a room full of guys who can’t find a date, plus computers and pizza, look out… In 2009, Chartier and his Davidson students began developing a bracket program that quickly yielded remarkable results, even though many of the participants had no interest in college basketball. The program can be adjusted for […] Read more

Okay, I am already bracing for the scathing emails for even posting this story, given the local god-like status McGuire has in Milwaukee. But hear me out. I am only posting this because it’s an interesting read, and my friend Brian Tuohy has been doing great work digging up documents from the FBI regarding sports […] Read more

In short: good f’ing question! Here’s a nice read with a lot of answers… For me, the most shocking aspect of the MH370 disaster is that we won’t know what fate befell those 239 souls until we find MH370′s Flight Data Recorder (FDR), aka the black box. Except for that last radar reading, we have […] Read more

I recall a long time ago (it seemed like a long time ago, but let’s call it 2008-ish) that I would tell any Maryland basketball fan who would call my show to complain about Gary Williams’ – a. Lack of recruiting b. Inability to get past the Sweet 16 or c. Something else – that […] Read more
