It COULD All Come Together This Year

For some teams, there is no hope. None. Zip. Nada.
The Dolphins? No freakin’ way.
The Falcons? Not this year.
The Jets? Not gonna happen.
The Chiefs. Don’t think so.
But the Rams at least have a chance. There is talent on the roster that, if the stars align and the creek don’t [...]

The Los Angeles Rams in 2015

So, everyone’s favorite idiot, Bernie Miklasz, from STLToday, must have given some tips to Evan Weiner of the New York Sun, because rumor has it that the Rams are probably heading back to Los Angeles in 2015, after the 7-year owners agreement is up. It’s all purely speculation.
It’s funny that these are the things we [...]

Barry Bonds in St. Louis

Truth — not rumor — has it that Tony La Russa is about to pop more boners than Hugh Heffner has had lifetime, for the chance to sign Barry Bonds to a contract to play for the St. Louis Cardinals. The solution here is to play Bonds behind Pujols in the lineup. After watching the [...]

I hate Rams fans and Steven Jackson does too

When I wrote “Rams fans” in the blog title, I’m not talking about Rams fans like myself, who follow the team and can write biased AND objective posts with deft, dexterity and intelligence every time they post about the team on a message board forum or sports blog, I’m talking about the fans in St. [...]

A Cardinal Rule

The St. Louis Cardinals have, what, nine players on the Disabled List at the moment? That’s my current calculations. After nearly sweeping the Boston Red Sox (lost the third game in 13 innings — hello Kevin Youkilis!), I’ve picked up on a couple of notes on the Cards:
1.) Kyle Lohse is going to be grossly [...]

Censorship on Sports TV — What the Hell?

NBC Sports golf analyst Johnny Miller apologized for his description of U.S. Open runner-up Rocco Mediate , saying the comments had “absolutely nothing to do with his ethnicity.”
Mediate, a 45-year-old Pennsylvanian of Italian heritage, held a one-stroke lead over Tiger Woods during the fourth round Sunday. Miller said Mediate “looks like the guy who cleans [...]

Boston Captures Number Seventeen

You bleed for your team, follow them through thick and thin, monitor every free-agent signing, immerse yourself in Basketball Draft Day, purchase the jerseys and caps, plan your days around the games. . . and there’s a little rainbow waiting at the end. You can’t see it, but you know it’s there. It’s there. It [...]

It’s Happening; Oh, It’s Happening

After wasting an exhilarating game five performance by Paul Pierce on a rotten loss that was contributed by Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo, Sam Cassell, Eddie House, and other Celtics players that could have made a bigger difference in the final minutes.
Coming back from big leads in two separate games is a big deal, especially if [...]

Destiny on Fathers Day

(Prescript: This is going to be largely about my father and his love for the Boston Celtics. If you get irritated that I write about my father a lot on here, then tough luck. I like to write about these sentiments, and if you can’t handle it, then fine: DON’T READ.)
My father was a dedicated [...]

Daredevils in Wheelchairs

Paul Pierce isn’t a daredevil, but he was on a wheelchair in game one of the NBA Finals on Thursday night.
Pierce, who only scored 3 points in the first half of the game, and 6 in the third quarter prior to being carried by his teammates to be put onto a wheelchair and taken to [...]
