Question: Who’s On Your Team?
Who’s On Your Team? Answer: I have NO idea! Recently, the National Basketball Association has confused me more than when I was trying to understand how the NFL decides who will get a wildcard spot, as in: [The Bengals can get in if a Jets loss is combined with a Denver Broncos defeat at the … Continue reading »
It’s Not Whether You Win Or Lose … It’s All About the Money!
If we learned nothing else, we learned that the primary result of the NFL Lockout has been multiple avoidable injuries. The owners never suffered, the players did. The sloppy play of the preseason and the first few games of the regular season has shown us what happens when players are not able to work with NFL trainers … Continue reading »

In Honor of SuperBowl Sunday and Bandwagon Fans
What drives TRUE football fans crazier than bandwagon fans? The only thing that I can think of would be a dropped TD pass in the end zone.

Your Personal Trainer is Your Worst Enemy … NOT!
My trainer (let’s call him Coach) is a pretty nice guy, all things considered. That is, until we step into the gym. I can almost see the transformation from “pretty nice guy” to “trainer from hell” happen as he crosses the threshold of the gym. He does not allow me to talk because he says I complain too much.

Free Agency Question: Is LeBron a “Media Whore?”
As a true NBA FAN, I do not like seeing the league taken for this crazy ride that is all about “LeBron watching” and not about every other multitalented player who is a free agent right now. (Should I mention the fact that some of the free agents who are NOT scheduling prime time signing events actually have Championship Rings?) Continue reading »

Why is it Big News if Jordan buys the Bobcats?
It’s big news that Michael Jordan is expected to get approval to buy the Charlotte Bobcats NBA team. Big, big news. But why? Are we so accustomed to talking about the post-NBA player life of this guy that we’ve got to obsess about this, too? Or… is there more to this for us? Continue reading »
