Thu, 3 Dec 2009 14:33:02 +0000

Typically I wait till the end of the year to vote on the Player of Year, but this year nobody will come close to Tiger Woods. My one unanimous vote has finalized the balloting. That knee hasn’t held Tiger back at all, because Tiger been hitting it like an 18 wheeler with no brakes. ...

Defining Word for Dolphins’ Season: Average

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 06:35:37 +0000

At no time this season did the Dolphins seem more average than their embarrassing loss in Buffalo. A 5-6 record is very average. Even with a win this weekend versus New England the Dolphins would only reach .500 for the second time this season. What is more average than 6-6? Not convinced ...

A.I. : Acknowledged Indifference

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 03:28:49 +0000

The Ed’s know it (Snider, Stefanski, Jordan). The players know it. The fans know it. My 85 year old bingo playing, bible reading, sweater knitting grandma knows it. The Philadelphia 76ers are irrelevant. They are a middling franchise. Mired in ...

Toronto was just what this team needed

Thu, 3 Dec 2009 03:17:16 +0000

I haven’t been to Toronto, so I don’t know the popularity of the NBA’s Raptors. The Maple Leafs, I believe, are number 1 in the fan’s hearts in Toronto, but what about the Raptors, the Blue Jays or even the CFL’s Argonauts? Last ...

Gasol Good, Baby!

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 22:58:25 +0000

It doesn’t take a genius to realize that Pau Gasol provides the key to the Lakers championship hopes, but I must say I felt so good about my last prognostication it was satisfying to just sit back and watch the Lakers decimate the last 7 teams we’ve faced. The Lakers offense and ...

Looking On…

Wed, 2 Dec 2009 18:45:17 +0000

In typical Lovie fashion, we all gaze on, without much to say. There isn’t much to say about these Bears that most the nation doesn’t already know. After all they have been the star in one nationally televised debacle after another. There aren’t any excuses for this ...

Way to pass the ball Larry Hughes? What? Are people really saying that after last night’s 126-99 romping of the Phoenix Suns? Yes, they are and they should be. For the first time in his Knick career Mr. Hughes had double digit assists (Hughes hadn’t had double digit assists since April 3 rd ...

Well you got it, because Matt Moore is likely to start for the Carolina Panthers at QB this Sunday. Jake Delhomme has a broken finger on his throwing hand and it’s probably going to keep to him off the field this weekend. Not sure if this is a blessing or a curse, because on one hand you ...

Despite all the new faces, injuries, Gundy being called out for his moods and a Dwight Howard that really hasn’t played up to potential the Magic are 14-4 and a top of the eastern conference. I can’t say the Magic are dominating teams, but they are finding ways to win high scoring ...

Derek Jeter can add 2009 Sports Illustrated “Sportsman of the Year” Award to his extensive trophy case. Although he hasn’t found himself accepting any AL MVP awards in his career, I doubt he’d be able to find any room to put the trophy. As if winning his 5 th World Series, 4 th ...
