The blog post I’m about to write will hurt my brain. If you are, or ever were, a Knicks fan I guarantee it will hurt yours as well. But I feel a need to document this debacle. The other day somebody mentioned the “Larry Brown Era” and I had completely forgotten Brown short-lived tenure and [...]
Across the nation tonight, there are professional baseball players who are more nervous than a female MSG intern sitting bitch between Isaiah Thomas and Stephon Marbury. Tomorrow at 2pm the venerable George Mitchell will release his highly anticipated report on doping in baseball after a 20 month investigation. The report promises to name names, with [...]
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. Les Miles No [...]
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 poet but [...]
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.

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 at fantasy football [...]
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 guess is [...]
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 that Randolph [...]
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 as usual. Most [...]
