Packers – Cowboys: Only the Fans Lose

Thursday, November 29th, 2007

Well, tonight is the big game. Two teams who seem to be heading towards an imminent playoff match for the NFC Championship will meet tonight in Dallas. Only problem is that the vast majority of fans of NFL football will not get to see it. The reason we fans won’t be able to see the [...]

Why Baseball is No Longer the National Pastime

Monday, May 8th, 2006

I guess the steroids have finally destroyed that last remnant of humanity from Barry Bonds: PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Carlos Oliveras has a home run ball specially marked to assure authenticity. It just doesn’t have Barry Bonds’ autograph as the slugger refused to sign the ball. Source  What a jerk. No wonder no one likes him; [...]

Viking’s Culpepper Charged in Boat Scandal

Thursday, December 15th, 2005

Prosecutor Steve Tallen looks like he’s nabbed a real big fish up in Minnesota: Quarterback Daunte Culpepper and three other Minnesota Vikings were charged Thursday with three misdemeanors each for taking part in a bawdy boat party earlier this season on Lake Minnetonka. Culpepper, Bryant McKinnie, Fred Smoot and Moe Williams were charged with indecent [...]

San Antonio and the NFL: Part II

Monday, October 17th, 2005

As you will recall, a while back I blogged about San Antonio’s chances of landing a NFL franchise in the future.

San Antonio And The NFL

Wednesday, September 21st, 2005

When Hurricane Katrina had finished with New Orleans, the Saints had to find somewhere to play their home games for the 2005-2006 NFL season. As you probably know, Katrina was not very nice to the Louisiana Superdome, and there is even talk of scrapping it completely. So, for one reason or another, the team ended [...]

Cincinnati Reds Comfort Boy After Death Of Grandfather

Saturday, August 6th, 2005

You know, I swore off baseball after the last strike. I just couldn’t relate to people who said that earning over 10 million dollars a season wasn’t enough to take care of their families. However, after reading this story, I might have to reconsider: Bill Summee has been a police officer since 1992, but nothing [...]

Moon Over Green Bay

Tuesday, January 11th, 2005

Joe Buck really did not like Randy Moss’s attempt at humor after scoring his second touchdown on Sunday in Green Bay. If you missed it, Randy went to the goalpost and pretended to pull down his pants and moon the crowd. There is no question that this was tasteless, but if you listened to Joe [...]
