I’m not trying to run down SI or claim that they are dead. I’m really wondering what their reach is these days?
I was just reading ESPN and noticed that Rick Reilly, who was famous for writing the back-page story every week in SI, is moving to ESPN. My first thought was “wow, he’s […]

Let me get this straight … Wade Phillips came up with the game plan to beat the Patriots by shutting down the run and forcing Tom Brady to beat them? Seriously?
You want to focus on Sammy Morris, who could walk into most offices in Boston - wearing his jersey - and wouldn’t be […]

Like most sane people, I want a college football playoff system and I’d like to dump the BCS. That said people need to layoff the computer rankings that have USF #2.

Reggie Bush had a great game in helping the Saints advance to the NFC Championship. But his day didn’t start out great. On the second play of the game, Sheldon Brown just knocks him the F out. Bush tried to get up from it, but fell back down and then tried to crawl off […]

Wow. I guess Phil Jackson wasn’t content to let the Kobe/Shaq feud finally die. It’s been pretty much non-existent for a year or more. Most people have moved on with their lives. Kobe is playing well in L.A. Shaq won a title with Miami. It was done.
But now Phil has fired a shot at […]

Ah, it warms my heart to read that T.O. and the Cowboys got slapped around by Philadelphia and Jeff Garcia. It must just sting the hell out of T.O. to know that his new team - the one that was considered a lock for the Super Bowl when they signed him - was beaten […]

I went to the NASCAR race here in Atlanta yesterday. The weather was beautiful so the track was filled with fans cheering on their favorite drivers. I’ve been to a dozen or so races, but I think yesterday was the first time I noticed all of the different ways fans cheer for their drivers.
