First, let me state that I’m constructing this argument from the perspective of a sports fan. I’m not sure if my opinion is going to hold any ice if you’re infatuated with Bob Costas or if you are a gung-ho nationalist (sounds Chinese, doesn’t it). I’d also like to mention that I was lucky [...]

You, like most of the sane individuals in our world, might just suspect that Ron Artest is a loon. After all, this is the guy who stormed into the stands to cause the [...]
Call yourself gullible Gary if you actually thought I gave a crap about an underachieving Big Ten squad when I blogged about Michigan basketball the other day. If you’re a true member of the L-Hoops Mafia, then you well know that my heart’s allegiance lies squarely with the JOHNNIES.
Despite just missing out in the [...]
I’m a college basketball junkie. As I write this I’m watching West Virginia play Portland on ESPN2 in the final of a tournament called the 76 Classic. If you inquire as to what I did over the Thanksgiving break, the true answer would be that I watched college basketball. I spent most of my [...]

A few months ago I thunk out a blog post that I titled “Fantwitsy Sports” . I wrote about the appeal of a twitter based fantasy sports game from both a product and a business standpoint. Besides the blog being sent out to the regulars (mia, klien, cuz Stacey, Evanter, etc), I also [...]
At first I was amused. To me, the baseball steroid scandal was just a part of the game. It would one day be a wart of a footnote in baseball history. We’d put some duct tape on it and continue to love the game. So I figured I would have some [...]
A few recent conversations had me thinking about the best sports events that I’ve ever attended. Considering the influence of sports in my life, and considering I’m not married and have no little litty’s, these events may also very well double as the overall best experiences of my life. I figured the topic [...]
I was lucky enough to be invited by my friend Roy to the Yankee/Mets subway series finale at Citifield on Sunday night. While it certainly isn’t the same to enter the stadium as a paying customer (actually I didn’t even pay but I did have a ticket) it was well worth it. We [...]
