“There was a period when I was about 12 or [...]

Two future hall of fame managers — Joe Torre and Tony LaRussa — square off in the premier series of the NLDS. The Dodgers 2009 season had more ups and downs than (insert your own gay sex reference here). With a roided up Manny Ramirez the Dodgers started off the season red hot. Then came the [...]

No I’m not going to debate that Peyton is the best QB in the league; you can’t debate such an obvious fact as that. This particular debate is about something else. I’ll let the great Ray Lewis and Rodney Harrison explain it: The new roughing the passer rules that have been enacted are in place [...]

It seems like no one is giving the Minnesota Twins any chance of beating the Yankees in the ALDS and for good reason. When your pitching matchups are CC Sabathia, AJ Burnett and Andy Pettitte against Brian Duensing, Nick Blackburn and Carl Pavano there’s not much room for debate. Surely, all non-Yankees fans will be pulling [...]

As you read through my baseball post season reviews you will notice two recurring themes. Who’s playing better down the stretch and what team has the pitching rotation (starters, middle relief and closer) settled. The Rays of ’08 and the Rockies of ’07 can testify to how closing strong gives your team the confidence needed to [...]

I guess LeBron James is the King of Cleveland after all. Want proof? For starters LeBron was able to convince warm-weather friendly Shaquille O’Neal to spend his winter playing with the Cavaliers. Shaq’s other stops around the NBA have been in Florida (Miami and Orlando), California and Arizona. Shaq’s new nickname, ‘The Big Chill.’ Then just [...]

Something extremely rare will happen today. Before today, only 8 times in the 100+ year history of MLB has there been a need to play a tiebreaker game to determine a slot in baseball’s post season. The winner of this afternoon’s game between the Detroit Tigers and Minnesota Twins will win the AL Central title and [...]

At the beginning of the football season much time is wasted by guys like me trying to predict the future. For me the hardest thing to predict isn’t who’s going to make the playoffs or win bowl games but rather which teams will be drastically better or worse than the previous year. I guess you could [...]

As NFL quarterbacks go, JaMarcus Russell is just plain horrible. The Raiders fell to 1-3 and the third year starter continues to struggle. In a contest that looked a lot like first stringers playing against the scout team, Russell completed only 12 of 33 passes for 128 yards and the Texans defense loaded up to stop [...]

For sports junkies like myself, keeping up on sports while vacationing is tricky. When you add your significant other who happens to be a casual sports fan to the mix, it can certainly lead to conflict. Since Eric, my husband, loves beer we can usually compromise on a sports bar where I can comfortably check [...]

Let me start off by saying that not by any measure would I consider myself a gay marriage activist. So asking my boyfriend to marry me wasn’t for purposes of making a statement rather it seemed like the normal thing to do. After all, he’s my one true love and we’ve been together for 12 years. [...]

As fans, bloggers and just general observers of sports we are quick to point out players who don’t play well or make mistakes. Fairly or unfairly, a struggling quarterback usually bears the wrath of disgruntled fans. Such is the case with Tony Romo this week. To his credit, Romo accepted full responsibility for the Cowboys loss. [...]
