Great weekend for me to be a perverted sports fan
1) It was freezing cold outside
2) I just got a flat screen HD TV for my apartment
3) There was all kinds of juicy sports stories to occupy my little brain
Here is a quick rundown of some of my thoughts.

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.
I wasn’t sure what to make of Torre when the Yankees hired him. He hadn’t accomplished much in his managerial stint with the Cardinals and he just seemed like a mediocre random […]
That is the name of my lousy fantasy football team. I thought this year would be different as I had the #1 pick in our draft and could finally get my boy LaDanian. But it’s not. I lost last weekend to fall to 2-4 this season. I readily admit that I stink […]
I just watched Colorado’s improbable finish to clinch the Wild Card by beating San Diego in extra innings of a one-game playoff. Initially, I wasn’t going to write about October baseball just yet but the last week has just been too entertaining.
The Rockies won 14 of their last 15 games and my […]
A few of you seemed eager to hear what I have to say about Michigan Football after witnessing another debacle last week vs. Oregon. I don’t really know what to say or think. Our defense is more porous than the Tijuana border. If I was Mike Hart I would pull that shady move […]
I’m going to Ann Arbor this weekend to catch a Michigan Football game. I’ve gone back for a game each year since I graduated. Returning to my alma mater is usually one of the highlights of the Fall. Unfortunately, after last Saturday’s debacle at the Big House I’m not as pumped up […]
My friend Brett sent me a great email yesterday. I’m not sure how he comes up with such eloquent analysis but he does. Check out his Lebron email. When I heard Rick Ankiel hit a homer in his return to the major I thought it was a cute story. Like many […]
I’ve been following the Michael Vick fiasco and it makes me sick to my stomach….and it has nothing to do with how he treated poochie.
I’ve discussed his situation with different people in the context of talking sports. Most people disagree with my views on the matter but the more I think about it the […]
