While it might not be appropriate to heap praise or hurl criticism so soon after a terrible tragedy, that’s what we do [...]

The fireworks display at Camden Yards on Friday night was just fine. Nothing you haven’t seen before, but hey – colorful explosives set off by trained professionals always make for a good show.
The good thing for Orioles fans as the fireworks where they count, really have just begin. FINALLY.

Washington D.C. - May 13, 2009
It was one of the most anticipated series of all-time. Not just in the NHL, but in professional sports. It was one of the most hyped Game 7’s, as hyped as any NHL game is ever going to be.

Washington, DC - May 2, 2009
One period is all it took to show just how amazing the talent and skills of the mega superstars are, in the Washington Capitals-Pittsburgh Penguins series are.
However, one period was simply not enough. We thirsted for more, and good god did we ever get it.

His name does not have the cache or ring to it that George Steinbrenner has. He is completely the opposite of Al Davis, to say that he actually is in touch with the reality of his sport. He is far from Jerry Jones, he actually allows his team to be run with a real general [...]

What a shame that so many Americans have not fallen in love with the NHL in massive quantities, like we do for the NFL, NBA and Major League Baseball.
Your missing something breathtaking. You are denying yourself something that is like a forbidden fruit. It’s like the big Christmas present under the tree. It’s an unknown [...]

As you may know by now, and I do not make any attempt to hide it — me and college hoops are not a good mix.
For the record, I thought UCONN would be cutting down the nets on Monday night, to “One Shining Moment” on CBS – which for my money – is the [...]

Once again this weekend, America is captivated by the Elite 8. Have fun, enjoy yourself and I hope you don’t lose any money gambling your savings away on 19 and 20-year old young men.
I also hope you don’t fall asleep, between all the whistles and stoppages in play. I’ll have some of the games [...]
