Every sports fan has them…the moment where their favorite team/athlete (or least favorite team/athlete) makes a play or is part of a game or an event that you remember and relive over and over again. I’ve had several sports moments that I look fondly upon – some include me as a participant. In no particular order, here are five sports-related events that have occurred in my lifetime that ...

NFL Football : So there are new rules again this year. I get a bit frustrated with the rule changes every year…just play football. At any rate, I was watching the replay of the Raiders v. Cardinals game (again) and came across one such rule change (actually just a wording change). This has to do with that “football move” thing about possession. Okay, it was subjective to start with and ...

Well, there really are more than five…but for the sake of brevity and a less than novel-sized post, I thought I would just cover five. In no particular order, here are five sports I cannot possibly live without: 1. American Football: NFL , minor league , women’s , NCAA, you name it – I gotta have it! If you’ve ever been so fortunate as to be on the sidelines of a football game it is one of ...

Southern California is full of exceptional sports and exceptional coaches. Often, a motivated and caring coach can make all of the difference for players. One such extraordinary individual is Coach Manny Ojeda. Assistant coach for the Southern California Breakers and Head Coach for the TC Titans , Manny always has a smile and word of encouragement for you (even if you’re only reporting from ...

Yeah, they're over...I'm quite sad... As I've pointed out, I really am a huge fan of the Olympics for all of the reasons I laid out yesterday and more. Here are some of the happenings over the Games that were especially exciting: USA Men's reclaims gold against Spain : Pau Gasol was a different sort of player that was the clear leader of the Spanish National team. The USA team completely ...

The 2008 Olympics are almost over and I’m quite sad to see them go. I really do wish we could have them more often…but I guess that would water down the excitement a bit. Anyways, here are five of the reasons that I love the Olympics: • The Sports : This is the time we get to see serious competitors in badminton, ping pong, synchronized diving, and a plethora of other sports that never get ...

Well, it’s that time again…the NFL season means Fantasy Football and pick ‘em contests. I’ve got a few more brewing than I originally intended. If I didn’t have to actually work and make a living I would have joined a few more Fantasy leagues. Well, I would golf and surf a lot more also… I’m in one league with a bunch of colleagues that was supposed to start last night but something odd ...

With the NFL and Premier League starting up I thought we’d do some football blogspotting. I mean all football, futebol, and futbol in every form that you can think of. I've pointed out before that if you're only interested in the American variety you are missing out. Think about it...the entire planet is completely taken by the soccer variety. There certainly has to be something to that. ...

I just absolutely love the Olympics ! There is so much to talk about that I know I won’t cover it all. I won’t even try. Track and Field : The small nation of Bahrain received its first Olympic medal. Morocco native Rashid Ramzi won the gold medal in the 1,500 meter race. The tiny country sent one shooter, two swimmers, and 12 track and field athletes to the Games. Bulgarian coach Dimitar ...

Since Michael Phelps has accomplished his remarkable goal of winning eight gold medals in a single Olympic Games gathering there has been much talk of who the "greatest athlete of all time" is. Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan come to mind in these conversations that are happening all over sports media lately. All three are exceptional athletes that have mastered their sport and inspire ...

Do you remember those commercials a few years back with Ben Roethlisberger’s giant head filling the television screen? Now gracing the walls of sports fans everywhere, Fathead has expanded their line to include many more sports and other famous figures. I caught up with one of the folks at Fathead and asked them five questions: 1. How did Fathead start? What inspired the idea and the name? ...

The last time we caught up with the Tri-County Titans was for their home opener back on July 19. Since then, they lost a close one to the Desert Valley Spartans the following week by a score of 19-14. The team had a rest afterward with a bye week and then last week they were victorious on the road vs. the South Bay Skulls, 19-7. Last night they were at home again and hosted the Valley ...

Since Michael Phelps is the latest athlete to reach iconic status it seems as though fans want to know everything about him. People can’t get enough of the 23-year-old “Aquaman” phenom and are dying to know what he eats and what he is listening to in his iPod . Apparently, he’s big into rap/hip hop and carbs. Lots and lots of carbs. Sugar too. Indeed, back in the day when I swam ...

Since I’m off to the desert for a round I figured we’d do some golf blogspotting today. I know – the desert is hot. That’s the point! Anyhoo, read about the game from these golf fanatics: Golfblogger.com has a review of a retro golf book that looks like a fun read. “Don’t’s For Golfers” was first published in 1925 and talks about long gone nuances of the game. The Grouchy Golf Blog ...

You know, I’ve never been a big “trash talker”. When I was a kid playing sports and other kids heckled me or tried to get under my skin I would just smile. Sure, I might say something under my breath or vent about it to someone else. I just never gave the loudmouth the satisfaction of getting a rise out of me. It always just motivated me to do that much better. Today, colleagues trash ...

Today I decided to do this post in the opposite manner that I usually do. Instead of giving a preview of what was to come for the day in the world of sports I will recap a bit of what went on. There was quite a bit to keep up with today... Olympics : The United States and China both have eight medals so far and South Korea has five. China leads in the gold with six medals. The US men's ...
