Week four of the college football season came and went this past Saturday and I couldn’t have been less interested. That’s because my school, Michigan, had a bye week. Thank goodness. It already kind of feels like they are having a bye year. Michigan is off to a rocky start with painful losses at home [...]
Watching the closing ceremonies of the Olympics was a bittersweet moment for me (and it had nothing to do with learning that the fireworks were fake!). I’ve so thoroughly enjoyed tuning in each day over the past few weeks that I’m sad to see it end. Perhaps the amazing accomplishments and worldwide interest in the [...]
I moped off the subway last night a bit dejected as a result of a first round playoff loss in my wiffle ball league. In the second inning, Sitman’s little bro threw a change up that hung like Nathan Hale and that, along with a healthy dose of Tim Donaghy like umpiring, was the difference [...]
The moment my toddler brain was actually developed enough to comprehend Sports (thanks in part to a few Boo Harvey buzzer beaters) Sportscenter replaced Sesame Street and Thundercats on my television set. Twenty years later, I’ve yet to change the channel. I even remember exactly where I was and who I was with (Colby, brett [...]
For whatever reason they don’t usually award NYC with big time sports events these days. Think about it. No recent love for all star games, super bowls, Final Four’s or Olympiads. I’m not trying to complain. I’d take the NYC sports world over any other city in the world (Titletown USA be damned!). But it [...]
I’m indifferent to Tiger Woods the person. His commercials are blah and I find him kind of whiney in interviews and press conferences. I LOVE Tiger Woods the golfer. I dig his competitiveness, determination and his perfect stance and alignment over the ball is, well, just perfect. When I lived in San Diego I once [...]
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 third game of [...]
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 give any true [...]
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 quarter [...]
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 marketing [...]
