In a column after the first game by each team I claimed the ref’s were doing alright. They hadn’t missed many calls, which in soccer is a win. Well we’ve had two more weeks of games since then and boy have things changed. The refereeing has become atrocious. There are always problems with the refs […]
I wrote Wednesday shortly after Landon Donovan’s game winning goal that it was the greatest sports moment I’ve ever seen.

That was the most exciting sports moment of my life. I am putting it out there right now. There has never been another sporting moment that has exceeded Landon Donovan’s extra time miracle goal. I am not sure if there ever will be. I remember the Oakland A’s 1989 World Series win. (The A’s are […]

That was entertaining. I still don’t know how I feel. That is the only way I can describe it. I have to try to look at it as an objective observer. Sadly I am not very objective. It has been three plus hours since the final whistle blew on the USA draw against Slovenia and […]

In case you missed the last 250 years there is a little bit of history between England and the United States. While there is a mutual respect and courtesy between the two countries, there is also this underlying big brother little brother dynamic. It might be an analogy not everyone can understand, so let me […]

In the 2009-10 NBA Season Amar’e Stoudemire finally showed the growth and development as a player and a leader that I have been waiting to see for the past two years. He gave more effort on the defensive end, became an excellent passer, and was a big reason for why the Suns team chemistry improved […]
The LeBron James rumor mill is about to jump into high gear and there is going to come a point where people are going to get tired of hearing about it. I won’t be one of those. I will sit glued to my TV praying he signs with the New York Knicks. If someone told […]

Does 2-0 equal Uh-Oh? Let’s get two things out of the way right off the bat: #1 There will be no politics discussed in this article. I like basketball, I don’t like politics. I leave the controversial news issues to News Talk 92.3 which is right down the hall. #2 When I am wrong I […]
