I suppose there came a point Wednesday night when Notre Dame shooting guard, Kyle McAlarney, looked over at his teammate, Luke Haragody, and said to himself: “Something is not right with Gody.” Little did the senior know at the time, but his teammate was slowed by pneumonia. Instead of whining and looking to his teammate [...]
Once was a time when November college hoops consisted of nothing more than glorified scrimmages with fans in the bleachers. Top 25 teams looking to catch their stride would schedule games against bottom of the barrel squads in contests that would amount to nothing more than a match up resembling the one-sided affairs of [...]
Just a month removed from the Philadelphia Phillies’ World Series celebration, the pilot light on the hot stove appears to have flickered out. All of the post-season awards have been announced, the Jake Peavy trade rumors have died down, and none of the major free agents seem to be in a hurry to find new [...]
Well it is that time of year again. The leaves are gone…or on the ground, snow has made a brief appearance and is close to staying for a couple of months. Football is in full swing as we bear down down on the NFL playoffs and a spot in the BCS. This week brings us [...]
Get accustomed to this guy getting my POTW a while. Stephen Curry’s second half against Oklahoma was nothing to sneeze at. In the season’s first match up of ranked opponents Curry dropped 27 and handed out two assists…in the second half. The junior finished with 44 and three dishes. All that [...]
To say that Notre Dame fans across the country are disgusted, embarrassed, disappointed, angry, ticked off, agitated and/or sickened would cover approximately 80% of the emotional spectrum. For the other 20%, insert some expletives in front of those adjectives and we’ll have everyone covered. On the morning after ND’s 24-23 defeat to the lowly Syracuse [...]
Over the last couple of weeks we have spent some time reviewing the AP’s Pre-Season poll. First we looked at 1-5, then 6-10, moved on to 11-15, looked at 16-20, and finished with 21-25.
Any time a poll like this is published, skepticism has to be expected. I scratched my head at a few [...]
Too bad endorsement deals were not as rampant during my playing days as they are now. With one of my nicknames I could have easily represented Chips Ahoy pretty well. I was another one of those first guys to make the jump from high school to the NBA. All but four games [...]
Since it’s not easy for even the most dedicated fan of the game to keep track of everything that happens during the off-season, I’m going to try to make it a point to provide a brief update each week of the significant transactions that occurred over the last 7 days. Some of these, of course, [...]
My NBA career was one of relative anonymity – eleven seasons with six teams. I played in Seattle when they were know as the Supersonics. Then an early-season trade moved me to Chicago. I continued moving east and roamed the hardwood of the Aud with a Braves uniform. A mid-season trade [...]
