I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.

As someone not especially fond of SEC sports, I’ve been waiting to yell this from the top of a mountain. I’m not sure if this specific team is any more annoying than those coached by Nick Saban, but I am happy that they lost to this particular Hoosiers football team. A team led by a…

I hadn’t intended to go after the sports media and the coverage of baseball’s off-season, but the reporting of Tatsuya Imai’s posting and free agency has forced me to rethink journalistic integrity. I know for a fact that agents use the media to move the market on their clients and that some writers/reporters are complicit…

Earlier today, Troy Aikman discussed the relationship between coaches and quarterbacks and said that too often high draft picks often are failed by their coaches/organizations but are blamed for failing their teams. He said that Norv Turner elevated the play of the Cowboys team he played for and said that some other quarterbacks benefited from…

Sometime earlier this week, the world came to an end at least the NFL as we know it today. Folks in the national media speculated that Travis Kelce played his last NFL game in Kansas City. Aside from being engaged to Taylor Swift, we’ve been led to believe that this should matter to most of…

I don’t know which is more disheartening, the look on the face of a 7-year-old boy who has just learned that Santa doesn’t exist or the face of a Greek restaurant owner who was forced to seat a party of two (my sister and me) in a booth that comfortably seats 6 and uncomfortably seats…

It’s amazing how one simple ML trade can get me onto six or seven tangents, not all of which will interest the average fan. I’m not an Athletics closet fan, nor I do I think they will compete for the AL West this season which isn’t to say that I’m not intrigued by some of…

While the Bears were getting ready to beat the Packers in surprising/spectacular fashion, their president, Kevin Warren did the unthinkable. He wrote a letter to Bears fans explaining (sort of) how the team was now looking at Northwest Indiana as a possible landing spot. Nobody thought the timing was especially good. Thankfully, the players and…

The other day the Orioles made a massive trade with the Rays for right-handed pitcher, Shane Baz. It’s okay if you don’t recognize the name and not just because he’s only toiled for Tampa as a major leaguer. Regardless of the metrics you use, he’s underperformed relative to his early prospect status. Originally this post…

I’m not sure which item resonates less with sports fans that the Knicks won some mini-midseason tourney in Las Vegas or that Munetaka Murakami’s posting (with MLB) window is set to close next Monday. Does the Knicks’ victory negate the OKC Thunder championship from last season? As for the Japanese power hitter, Murakami, I’m unaware…

Without referencing the former ML pitching coach of the same name, isn’t Less supposed to be More (Les Moss)? Don’t hate me for tuning into the FOX pregame show for 2.7 minutes, but the six-man panel struck me as too much-even if Tom Brady and Gronk anchored the line. All of these pregame shows are…
