I haven’t had a heart-wrenching action-packed blog post since the winter of 2006 when I jumped off a trampoline and raced through the streets of Nice with the Frenchie’s on my tail so here goes… I awoke Sunday morning to a perfect high noon sun and a swath of flies in my backyard who apparently [...]
Courtney came up with that name for me the other day as I was twittering away. I can’t say that I’m head over heels for the service, but I will be twittering from the NCAA tournament in Philly all day long from my phone. If tomorrow is anything compared to the first round of the [...]
Back in 1994, my dad innocently pulled me and Lisa out of school one afternoon and took us to the first round of the NCAA tournament at Nassau Coliseum. We didn’t really know what to expect, but the idea of going to watch basketball games instead of another afternoon of middle school sounded like a [...]
Besides the occasional and delusional St. John’s rant, I rarely write about college hoops anymore. For those YBIML newbies, yapping college baskeball was how I got my start as a digital scribe. Back in the winter of 2002, during my senior year at Michigan, I butchered together a very basic website that I dubbed Littyhoops.com. [...]
My favorite cricket star is Sachin Tendulkar. If you must ask why he is my favorite player than you must not follow cricket. Tendalkur is everyone’s favorite player in India. If you want to make friends (or at least make conversation) with an Indian just mention cricket and their Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar. There face [...]
Many of you probably know of my fanatical love for St. John’s Basketball (if not, my post last week on the Johnnies can bring you up to speed). What you probably didn’t know is that growing up I was the second most fervent college basketball fan living at 80 Dickenson Place. Nobody, and I mean [...]
On most autumn Sundays, you can find me on my couch in my own little fantasy world. More specifically, I’m in my own little fantasy football world. I have one eye watching football on television but the rest of me is frantically switching between tabs on my web browser following multiple games on CBSSports.com Gamecenter. [...]
Kids have their birthday. Gentiles have Christmas. Dudes have Superbowl Sunday. Happily married couples have their anniversary. Investment bankers pre-2008 had bonus day. According to Ralph Waldo Emerson, you should “write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.” For Brian Greg Litvack the best, most exciting and thrilling [...]
I have the distinct honor of being part of a New York Knicks off-season email listserv. Yup, it’s as pathetic as it sounds. What kind of intelligent analysis can be applied to the Knicks signing a crippled Allan Houston or Steph telling the world that he’s going to get all his money (21.9 million)? I’m [...]
My blog post on Michigan Football and Rich Rodriguez wasn’t well received. That probably has as much to do with my writing as it does with my argument (although I’m sure you could argue that both are off base). The message I wanted to get across was that I understand we need to give this [...]
