I was talking with Jerry the other day and we got onto the subject of Shaquille O’Neal and how much better his numbers might be if he were able to make some free throws and how easy that might have been for him to practice and be an average free throw shooter considering how often [...]

Something is missing when you look at athletes of today and compare them to the athletes of yesteryear and it’s not an easy thing to try and pin down. On the one hand, they are bigger, faster, and can jump higher, and arguably in better physical condition, but is that what it’s all about in sports? [...]

Last weekend’s game against the Vikings doesn’t bode well for the Cardinals chances in the playoffs. Looks like they may be one and done, especially since any of the prospective teams they might be playing (Bucanneers, Cowboys, or Falcons) all have good defenses. It’s been shown this season that when the Cardinals don’t protect Kurt [...]

Over the past couple of decades the price of going to a professional sporting event has skyrocketed. Gone are the days when a father could take his kids to a baseball game for about the same price as a movie. Now the average ticket price for a Major League Baseball game ranges from $13.71 for a [...]

Listening to a local sports talk radio program this morning I was appalled at what I was hearing. The host and one of his phone in reporters were talking about C.C. Sabbathia’s performance since he had been traded to the Brewers. C.C. has pitched tremendously. But that was not what I was appalled at. How could [...]

I know it sounds silly, but after watching Michael Phelps perform as he has throughout this olympic games, I think it’s safe to say that, had there been a dog paddle event, Michael Phelps would win that one too. What an amazing athlete, and what a testament to the concept of focusing on a goal [...]

I think it’s kind of a shame that softball will be removed – I never watched it, but having played baseball and a little slow-pitch softball afterward, I know what kind of work it takes and how long and hard they’ve played to get to that level of competition.

As an avid fantasy football participant I can answer the question to my title myself. IT IS WAY FUN! However, at one time, I too thought the millions of devotees were foolish. I mean, come on, a bunch of middle aged weekend warriors compiling “fantasy” teams to compete against one another?! It sounded a little D&D’ish [...]

Thankyou Tony Dungy
Early word is that Tony Dungy will be stepping down from the head coaching position he’s held in Indianapolis for the last seven seasons, and though it’s a sad occasion for this Colts fan, I want to say, “Thankyou Tony Dungy”.
