Savor The Moment …………….

Savor The Moment ………. Well as baseball enters the run into the midseason break for MLB’s — All Star Game I look over the scene of the standings and I feel that between now and season’s end in September we could be in for one or two surprises . A number of teams are jockeying [...]

Running On Empty …………..

Running On Empty I’m finally beginning to calm down given the situation concerning the NFL lockout as it pans out and the fact that over a prolonged period we have the team owners now saying that they are closer to a compromise. The season starts on the 3rd September and I fully believe that it [...]

The Tipping Point ……………

The Tipping Point ………….. Once the Superbowl (SBXLV) wraps it will be interesting to see what comes about once the postseason ends . I’ve never placed much stock in the Pro Bowl which once again was held in Honolulu , Hawaii after last year’s rather idiotic experiment in having the game a week before last [...]

Odious , Simply , Bloody, Marvelous …..

I don’t know whether or not to laugh or cry at this juncture. But suffice to say that the NFL lived up to its appeal of ‘anything can happen on any given Sunday’. Oh my God, that’s an Oliver Stone ‘movie’. No conspiracy theorists here however. Alas, the New England Patriots are finally showing signs [...]

What’s A Guy Supposed To Do …………. Do Not Pass Go Do Not Collect $200 ……….. Afterall The NFL Is Definitely A Business

Well, let’s just say that as a die-hard Patriots’ fan , it left me feeling somewhat devastated. As, he’s one of my favorite players on [...]

The Feel Good Story Of The NFL Weekend ……………..

Well it has to go without saying  that  the Arizona  Cardinals’ play  this season has come as  a surprise to all.  Never  mind  the fact that  they won a woefully  lamentable division (NFC West) with a  9-7 record.  That in ofitself  should be  enough to suggest  to  us  all  how  bad  the  division really is.  [...]
