Interesting article about a mysterious guy named Will McDonough . Apparently he's Tom Brady's boy and does everything for him. Take the time to read it. No really. Read it. But here's what I think is even more interesting. Normally, when you hear about an NFL player that has a friend handle his personal affairs, the guys are referred to as a posse. And posse has a huge negative ...

I may not be an elite athlete, but unfortunately, I'm an elistist when it comes to fandom. Somewhere along the way, I decided that only I know how to root for my team at the game and can't stand when other fans don't know how to root for my team. Since we're just a few days away from kick-off, I'm going to give you a few pointers for how to act as a fan when you go to the game. If you are ...

I think I've discussed this on this site before, however, I'll mention it again. During my freshman year of college, my intramural football team made it through all the rounds of the playoffs only to lose in the championship game. After it was all over, I think we got a t-shirt. You know what we didn't get? The championship. In second place, we were, as they say, the first place losers. ...

You know the drill. In any of the three "main" sports (football, basketball and baseball) if a coach let's teammates play the game and doesn't try to script every detail of the game, he's regarded as a "player's" coach. He's regarded as being more relaxed and when the light's come on, he let's the players "do their thang". This is the exact opposite of every coach I've seen while watching ...

We've all played some sort of intramural sport where the officiating is horrible at best. We've seen high school games where the officiating was just ok. And we've seen blown calls at the professional level. So here's the question I have to ask. Before we had all of this technology available to us, is there any way in the world that Phelps would have gotten the gold in the 100m Butterfly? ...

When I was a junior in high school, someone at our school decided to have a school wide contest between the classes. It was like elementary field day for high schoolers consisiting of silly games like the sack race and the egg on the spoon race. To keep it from getting out of hand, one person was selected from each "home room" class to compete on the team. Therefore, I was on the "Juniors" ...

You guys mocked me a month ago when I covered the Olympic Trials, but admit it, now you are at home every night watching the Olympics. Especially you, Rosenhaus, I know you are watching it. By now surely you've seen the 4X100 free style race. If you haven't go here and watch the entire thing . I promise you it's worth your time. Here's what I loved about the race. I miss the rivalries in ...

I have a running joke with a friend of mine, that his wife is turning my wife into a hippie. MFW (My friend's wife) is suddenly introducing my wife to fresh vegetables, homeopathic remedies and who knows what else. Deep down there is this fear that one day all of my clothes will be replaced with tie-dyed clothes. My tennis shoes will be replaced with sandals and I'll spend my day at the ...

When I played flag football in college... Wait, first let me put this disclaimer out there. Yes I technically played. The first year, I was on a team that ran the option and I never was offense. I was a defensive back on defense and the opposing team threw it to my side every time because our safety on the other side was a former QB from Austin Peay University (let's go Peay !). We made it ...

In the state of Alabama, one of things that Mark Gottfried's "strengths" has been his ability to recruit the top players in the state. Now, realistically that shouldn't have been that hard. Look at who he's had to go up against. UAB and Auburn. And yet his "success" is highly debatable. Several "big time" guys have left the state to go elsewhere. However, his biggest loss so far may be a ...
