Once upon a time, the MLB All-Star Game was one of the biggest television draws of the Summer. Now everyone tunes out the game and tunes in the Home Run Derby. Remember when Pete Rose took out Ray Fosse in the “just for fun exhibition”? I’ll admit I’m getting...

In the late 80s and 90s, the Texas A&M was a fixture in the Top 20, on its way to the Top 10, widely known for its speedy, hard-hitting ‘Wrecking Crew’ defenses. But this is a program that has yet to recover from the arrival of Mack Brown, Bob Stoops and the resurgence of LSU. [...]

It appears Anaheim has more to crow about than Disneyland and the Mighty Ducks. They can lay claim to one of the finest baseball teams in recent history as the Angels have won three of the last four division titles and look on their way to doing so again. Why all the love for the Angels [...]

The papers and Internet will report that the LSU Tigers took game 3 of the College World Series to win their sixth NCAA Championship. Less publicized will be that the University of Texas Longhorns lost it by blowing Game 1. What was head coach Augie Garrido thinking taking out...

Phil Mickelson has to be the most exasperating golfer alive. My frequent comment to friends is “that Mickelson is the greatest no pressure golfer ever.” When he was behind at The Masters earlier this year he made a super charge playing the front nine in an incredible...

The news out of Dallas these days is getting to be concerning and as usual, it centers around Tony Romo. Last year, after getting lathered by the Eagles in the season finale, Romo stated he would be okay if he never got to a Super Bowl. This year, after hearing he needed to get in [...]
Kobe Bryant Legacy Intact

I am not a Kobe Bryant fan. I spent last year’s finals celebrating his Lakers going down to the Celtics and this season I rooted for the Rockets, Nuggets and Magic to take him down again. My thought is he ruined the Lakers earlier this decade with his childish petulance and...

Wow! That is all I can say about blogger Jerod Morris, who in his infinite wisdom, openly opined that Raul Ibanez must be on the juice due to his great start this season. I guess accountability has gone by the wayside in deference to the shock factor in today’s blogs. When...

Perhaps the pedigree of being a World Series Champion can finally get Ryan Howard off the All-Star snub list. The former MVP and fastest player to 100 (and soon to be 200) home runs, was leading the league in home runs and RBIs last July. That still did not stop him from watching the game [...]

Autzen Stadium, home of the Oregon Ducks. Likely the most under-appreciated college football venue in the country. With just over 41,000 fans and a single-level bowl (kind of a ‘mini-me’ to the old Sombrero in Tampa), it was easily the loudest stadium I’ve visited...

In 2008, the Big 12 scored points and put quarterbacks in New York for the Heisman Trophy Ceremony. With obscene offensive numbers, the media jumped on the bandwagon as the Big 12 barked at the heels of the SEC as the dominant conference in college football. How can the Big 12...
