So… I came across an article on ESPN.com that epitomizes the title of this post. The article is about a 9-year old kid who’s being disallowed to further pitch on his little league team because he is “too good”.  They say the kid throws 40 mph – which doesn’t sound like much, but apparently for

I’m gonna miss the Olympics.  Every four years, I am thoroughly captivated by the Olympic games (especially the Summer Games) and all its events.  I even watched the Trampoline Finals (yes…that is an actual event)…and enjoyed it.  If enough is at stake in an athletic event, I’m one of those cats that may be interested

I’ve just realized that we won’t be able to play our favorite St. Patty’s Day drinking game this year: “chug some beer when the white boy touches the ball”. Every year we’ve visited Savannah, we’ve gone during the 1st weekend of the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. And every year, whenever any white boy on any

“Excuses are tools of the incompetent.” That is a quote that I heard years ago that resonates justly this morning. I predicted that The Patriots would win the Super Bowl – and I was wrong. There is no denying that; I won’t run away from my oversight of the New York Football Giants. Although, to

So, I haven’t really written a sports-related post in a very long minute – so, you know damn well that I had to post something on the possibly historic Super Bowl taking place this coming Sunday.

What is that smell, that burnt, smoky stench that I smell coming out of Detroit?? That, my friends, is Lebron James – who is still fuming and smoldering out of each pore on his body. The city of Detroit got their 4th of July fireworks a tad early this year. I am still in shock,

Here is something I wrote last year (around the time of the playoff series between the Lakers and the Suns) – the recent article written by Jemele Hill of ESPN.com echoed some of the same sentiments I expressed in this article… Don’t be misled by the title, this isn’t another one of those articles blasting

As winter slowly fades from our memories and spring begins to bloom, I (the preeminent, biased, loathing Yankees Hater) have returned. I am NOT here to be apologetic or optimistic about the Yankees chances of winning their 27th World Championship; instead I am here to do what I have always done and what I do

Here I write before you, before everyone reading this and proclaim that I want to pay homage to the greatness that is the Indianapolis Colts. Now, I am in no way a Colts fan – truth be told, I’m about as big of a fan of the Colts as Muslims are of pork rinds. But,
