Sports Reincarnations »
So I’m sittin’ in my easy chair the other night watching the Mavs and Warriors go at it … and then it hits me. The whole game I’m watching Baron Davis and thinking “I’ve seen this guy before … but where?” It’s like I’ve seen him in another life, or more specifically, [...]
AND WITH THE FIRST PICK IN THE NFL DRAFT… »
The Oakland Raiders with the first pick take …… Bobby Boucher.
Roger Goodell : “ Ahhhh Al, this is a fictional character from the Waterboy…”
Al Davis: “Ahhh, now that is some quality H2O… What? Fictional? I was just watching that game tape the other day? This guy is a stud.”
Bobby Boucher suddenly walking to the stage: [...]
Spring Cleaning »
Maybe, just maybe we can bid a less-than-fond adieu to old man winter. Now that last week’s Nor-Easter drifted off to the ocean, I switched the snow blower with the lawn tractor in the garage, replaced the spark plug, and changed the oil. Yeah, I know I should have done it in the [...]
The Name Game – Full Participation »
Can’t take credit for this one – I got the idea from another blogger on Sporting News.
Game Rules are easy – use the first letter from the previous last name and list the name of a sports’ personality.
FOR EXAMPLE: I will start with Bobby Orr.
Using the O from his last name I give another [...]
A Love Affair With Sports »
When did your love affair with sports begin? What was the moment you started to pay attention? When you began to alter your daily schedule according to the television schedule?

14…errrr 13 Seasons And Counting!!! »
1993. Let me think. Gas was probably a buck and a quarter. Monthly cable charges amounted to…ummm $20. The Canadiens played in the Forum. The Leafs and Bruins in their respective Gardens. We referred to the divisions as Patrick, Adams, Norris and Smythe. Minnesota had a team called the North Stars. Quebec still honored us [...]
While in Boston I Heard Cheering For…the Sabres???? »
This past week the family travelled east to the fine city of Boston. The eldest daughter started her tour of college visits. I am praying that she lands in bean town. How sweet it would be!!
While there the better half and I ventured with the nephew to Canal St. to take in some good eats, [...]
Remembering Jackie Robinson (AGAIN) »
We remember #42 again and again and again and …
Okay … okay … I GET IT ALREADY!!! Jackie Robinson broke baseball’s color barrier and was a damned good ballplayer. So was Larry Doby. And what about the other great black players who came before Jackie? I don’t know about [...]

Remembering Eddie Robinson »
The passing of legendary Grambling State coach, Eddie Robinson, causes a little embarrassment for this writer. For years the name Eddie Robinson only entered my consciousness with the televising of the ‘Bayou Classic’. I remember diminishing his overall record by thinking; who does Grambling play? Little did I understand his true impact [...]
