In case you didn’t know, we’ve got some pretty interesting races going on in baseball this summer. In case you missed it, there are some very intriguing storylines being played out in NFL camps across the country. In case you didn’t know, we’re less than a month away from what looks like it might be [...]

The trading deadline has come and gone. Oh, I know the waiver deadline is still about a month away - and I understand more players might get through waivers because of the economy - but I don’t think we’ll see the kind of movement we saw for the last couple of weeks throughout Major League [...]

So, Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz reportedly tested positive for using steroids six years ago. Is anyone shocked? Is anyone surprised? Is anyone stunned? If you are, then you just haven’t been paying attention. Anyone who is surprised by players taking performance enhancing drugs these days probably believes the professional wrestling is still real. Anyone [...]

So, Brett Favre finally made a decision. Instead of coming out of retirement again to play for the Minnesota Vikings, Favre has decided that discretion is the better part of valor. He is (at least for now) going to stay retired.

With all due respect to Stewart Cink, this past weekend was not about him. It was never supposed to be, and it never will be. Yes, I know he won the British Open. But, when we talk about what went down at Turnberry years from now, we won’t be talking about Cink. We’ll be talking about the [...]

I’ve been lucky. I’ve covered a lot of baseball over the last fifteen years. Got to go to a couple of All Star Games. Was in attendance at a couple of World Series. But, there’s something special about watching a no-hitter. To me, there’s nothing like it. To watch someone completely shut down an opposing [...]

The biggest thing I’ve learned in the months that I’ve been looking for a job is that there is a big difference between being a fan and being a member of the media. Being a member of the media for almost eighteen years now, I had kind of forgotten what it was like to be [...]

Glad to be back from my mini-vacation. A lot happened since my last column. Roger Federer became the undisputed King of the Slams. Manny Ramirez returned from his steroid suspension and found that the fans missed him more than the critics thought they would. Serena Williams beat her sister and won her second Grand Slam [...]

The NBA’s silly season is here. It’s July first, and the free agent market is open for business. It’s not the blockbuster market that we will say a year from now. But there are still some useful pieces out there.
