No, I’m not talking about the body spray.

How stupid can some school boards get? This is the leading problem in America as to why so many kids are obese and all else overweight these days. Forget the video games, the soda, and the sweets; put those goodies on hold. The reduced amount of gym class [...]

The leaps that fans take

It’s invigorating to learn and hear about the risks that fans all over the world take just to be included in an event, to buy merchandise earlier than other fans and to frankly cause a scene. It’s not just sports fans, every kind of fan. I read somewhere last month that a young girl killed [...]

Reggie’s Finally Giving up on the Comeback

Finally, no more. No more noise from Reggie Miller considering his possible timely comeback to basketball to wear Celtic green. The implications have now been effaced. Truly, for his time back in the 1990s, you can’t say much more about him other than excerpts of the great emotion he brought to the game and his [...]

“Mad” Mike Martz — Back Again

It’s funny. Mike Martz. Yes, Mad Mike. The former once offensive coordinator and 2 years removed of being head coach of the St. Louis Rams. Now the offensive coordinator for the Detroit Lions. Once named the offensive genius. A moniker that hardly anyone looks at with him anymore. Who’s that hardly anyone? The hardly anyones [...]

Investigators used dental records to identify Griffin, 25, who began his tumultuous pro career with the Houston Rockets in 2001. He was [...]

Rick Ankiel: Don’t be Surprised

*This will be an extremely short post. My apologies go out to all that have been expecting a blog post for quite a while over the past week and rightfully so because of the raid I pulled over this blog last month. However, my time has been confined and minimized lately, and will only continue [...]

Slow Down the Pace

Back from vacation, and back with a short note on the Rams first preseason game against the Vikings. I was actually able to catch the game, so I have a few thoughts (more like 2 big ones I will talk about.)
First point I want to make is about Orlando Pace, a Pro Bowl left tackle. [...]

Vacation

My time posting will continue to be precipitous as I’ll be leaving with my family at noon tomorrow to go vacationing at Myrtle Beach, SC.
NFL Training Camp buzz going around? Barry Bonds finally boinking No. 755, then the impending 756? We’ll see, and I’ll be back with my thoughts in two Mondays from now.
Take it [...]
