I know everyone is reading this because YOU ARE NOT WORKING.  Don’t try to pretend like you are.  March Madness costs employers $1.8 BILLION in productivity during the first week of the tournament alone . . .   So why swim upstream?  Everyone is doing it.  We might as well jump off the bridge too.  Here’s a [...]

Why “Ben-A-Palooza” Says It All . . .

Posted on March 16, 2010. Filed under: Life, NFL | Tags: , , , , , , , , , |

BEN-A-PALOOZA? Yeah.  That’s all you have to know about Ben Roethlisberger.  He names his club crawl excursion, BEN-A-Palooza.  It’s all about him.  What a self-righteous and conceded label for a drunken journey that keeps Mr. Ben in the spotlight.  If you had any doubts about the way Little Ben operates, this should surely put them to rest.  I’ve had [...]

ROAD TRIP: First Installment – Cincinnati OH

YES!  I am voluntarily going on a road trip visiting baseball parks and the NFL Hall of Fame.  I mention my intentions for my vacation to many with an overwhelming response ” why not the beach?”  Because as my readers know, I LOVE SPORTS.  Any chance I get to enhance my sports experience, knowledge or actuality, I [...]

That Dude . . .

You know that dude . . . No matter what type of sports fan you are, there’s that dude . . . The dude that seems to have your team’s number EVERY time.  You involuntarily start to dry heave when you see him on TV making an amazing play.  You actually hate him.  And if he [...]

It Happens In Threes . . .

Posted on April 14, 2009. Filed under: Life, MLB | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , |

THEY SAY . . . Bad things happen in threes.  Why does this statement always ring true?  And who are “they”?  When tragedy strikes once, the second and third instances are never far behind.  On the heels of Nick Adenhart’s senseless death, the usual time for optimism and excitement during the opening weeks of baseball season have [...]

Why . . .

Posted on April 10, 2009. Filed under: Life, MLB | Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , |

Why does it happen?  It’s a question we ask after tragedy strikes.  Over and over.  Even when there’s no real answer.  The sudden death of 22-year old up and coming Angels pitcher, Nick Adenhart, sucker punched baseball.  A family has been robbed of a son, teammates have been robbed of friendships maybe not even cultivated yet, and [...]

Time To Change The Unis . . .

HELLO MCFLY . . . On the heels of Cleveland Browns’ wide receiver, Donte Stallworth, being charged with striking and killing a man while driving drunk, you would think people might learn a thing or two about designating a driver.  Nope. Last night, cornerback Leon Hall successfully brought the rains to the year-long arrest drought in [...]

DeJuan Blair Declares – Selfish Pitt Fan Rant . . . Sort Of

Posted on April 7, 2009. Filed under: Basketball, Life, NBA, NCAA | Tags: , , , , , , , |

  I SUPPOSE HE’LL BE OKAY . . . I mean, I keep trying to justify the fact that I think DeJuan Blair needs to stay another year.  My rationalization?  Saying that I don’t want him to end up like Chris Taft, who ultimately just wasn’t ready for the NBA after his sophomore year.  Blair’s [...]
