Remember that whole thing about not knowing quite who to back in this World Series deal? It took watching one pitch for it all to come into staggeringly clear focus. Give me more of the below (from this morning's Metro). Here we go, Pedro, here we go!
Knicks Singing Skills Potentially Worse than On-Court Action

So, the Knicks season opener is tonight in Miami. And, although I tend to mock the franchise and even feign an all-out split, I can't hide that I still watch - on occasion. Tonight will not be one of those instances. Nevertheless, I thought it my civic obligation to head over to...

Chances are nobody cares. For some reason though, I am really caught up on this whole JaMarcus Russell thing. Maybe it's because I'm a big college football fan and loved watching him play at LSU. Maybe it's because I saw him before the draft at an event and witnessed the...

I'm still undecided on this whole apocalyptic World Series match up. That aside, I'm slowly coming around on at least one Yankee -- his name is Nick Swisher. Sure, at one time I kinda likened him to the overrated Eric Byrnes-type who nobody could seem to shut up about. Constantly...

Ladies and gentlemen, beware the Tuskers. That would be the Florida Tuskers, of course. The undefeated Florida Tuskers. You know, of the UFL? They just came off a dominant win against the Redwoods...of California. What's that? You have no idea WTF I'm talking about? Hmm, where...

Not worth wasting a long diatribe on this one. Three words. Same. Old. Jets. Sure, it's a rookie quarterback. And, yes, mama (and everyone else) said there'd be days like this - although five picks against 10 completions may have even been an extreme prognostication.Bottom...

I won’t bore you with a long story, but I grew up north of New York City and have been a Colorado Buffaloes fan since the age of 12. No alumni affiliation. No relatives. No favorite Jets player who hailed from Boulder. Makes total sense, right? Well, Sal Aunese is the one who dragged...

My mother told me never to use the word "hate." Not for people, not for chores, not for events, not for nothing. She gives me a pass on this one thing -- because she f-in hates the Yankees, too.Honestly, I'm absolutely besides myself. I don't know why though when...

Why the Long Face? Ahh yes, You Coach the LionsFew video clips can ever compete with Jim Mora's "Playoffs??!!" press conference tirade. It's legendary. Hell, it inspired a Coors Light commercial, which speaks volumes. But, of course, Mora had other gems. One of my...

I used to think firing was fairly straightforward. The Donald always made it look damn easy. Stare person in face. Tell them they are fired. Fired person then immediately leaves room, grabs bags and leaves. Not that hard a concept, right? Same thing used to apply to sports, for the...
