The NFL Takes A Devastating Blow

The NFL announced that it will strictly enforce its rules against dangerous and flagrant hits by penalizing players with substantial fines or even suspensions.

Ads Of The Future

I have issues with television commercials. Most notable is that they all pretty much suck. Sure, every now and then there’s a commercial that gives me a chuckle the first time I view it. Outside of the movie “The Sandlot” though, there are very few things I want to watch repeatedly, over and over again [...]

Gotta Go To Mo’s

I was lucky enough to be invited by my friend Roy to the Yankee/Mets subway series finale at Citifield on Sunday night. While it certainly isn’t the same to enter the stadium as a paying customer (actually I didn’t even pay but I did have a ticket) it was well worth it. We had great [...]

The LittyHoops Family Welcomes You To Bracketville

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.
