I’m traveling to Tampa this weekend for a family sports vacation or something of the sort. On Friday, we’re going to the first round of the NCAA tournament. For those of you who have never experienced an opening day at the tourney it is quite the trip. By the middle of the […]
If you have yet to figure it out I’m a bit of a college hoops fan. Therefore this week is usually one of my favorites each year. Here is a blog post from last year about my anticipation for the tournament. I also put together this one shining moment tribute that should […]
I have to post something about the Giants after their awesome win yesterday — in Green Bay to win the NFC Championship.
I haven’t enjoyed an NFL football game this much in awhile. Eli, Plax, and the Giants D played like heroes. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire fourth […]
YouTube never ceases to amaze me. The other day I came across the reporting of Elie Seckbach, the “embedded NBA correspondent”.
I have no idea how this mench has such great access to NBA players but he does. This blog post interview of Elie helps explain his story. I certainly give him credit for […]

No Les. I woke up Saturday […]
Last Monday, University of Michigan Head Football Coach Lloyd Carr announced his retirement. The Detroit sportswriter and author Mitch Albom gives a poigent recap of the retirement speech. You can also watch it. During his press conference he recited a poem by Pakenham Beatty. I had never heard of the 19th Century Irish […]
This week I attended the Sports Media & Technology conference presented by The Sports Business Journal and the Fantasy Sports Association. The conference is one of the few events in the sports industry where the spotlight is supposedly on digital sports media. While the conference certainly focused on leveraging new technologies and distribution […]
It’s sad to see Joe Torre out as manager of the New York Yankees. It’s the end of an era.
