Football Sunday: Thee Ohio State Mess, Johnny Manziel in Lingerie Football League
MARLBORO, NY – In case you missed it (and I did), the NFL Preseason kicked off on Thursday with the Hall of Fame game, in which Baltimore beat Chicago 17-16. Now, I don’t get excited over the exhibition games like I used to when I was a gambling fiend. Yes, it was a sickness of […]
The MLB Rich Get Richer: Division Rivals Make Deals, deGromb, Stanton
MARLBORO, NY – It’s the end of July. If you’re a New York Mets fan and have nothing to look forward to – except a purge of the current roster before this coming week’s trade deadline – what does one talk about regarding sports? I can go in a few directions; like Dez Bryant shooting […]
Why Watch The Mets? deGrom, Nimmo, Historic Folly
MARLBORO, NY – Soccer’s World Cup champion will be determined today and the tournament has been a good diversion to New York Mets fans. It really is too bad that there aren’t more sports options to steer us clear of the depressing baseball the Blue & Orange subject their fans. Why I still watch these […]
World Cup Problems: Shootout, Embellishment And Goal Slides
MARLBORO, NY – The only thing more brutal than the stretch of hot weather we’ve experienced has been the play of the New York Mets. The Flushing Nine either can’t score enough runs to support great starting pitching performances or the bullpen fully implodes trying to close out games in which they stand a chance […]
Baseball Sunday: Tim Tebow, Kevin Abel and Pat Casey
MARLBORO, NY– We really don’t need a meteorologist talking about the heat index because if you couldn’t tell, it’s hot as hell out there. Be safe and hydrate if you’re doing anything outside in this weather. There are a couple of sports items that are hot of the press and both are baseball related – […]
Father’s Day Special: Memories of My Dad
MARLBORO, NY – Today is the day where we honor good ol’ dad across our nation in celebrating Father’s Day. There’s a great emptiness personally from losing my dad in 1984 to a massive heart attack at the young age of forty-eight. As usual, it’s a slow sports Sunday during this time of year, so […]
Post NHL, NBA: Filling Void for Yankees Haters. NASCAR, Soccer, WNBA?
MARLBORO, NY – The 2017-18 NHL season is now over and done with and so is another uneventful NBA season. So what’s a diehard New York Mets fan – or a mild one like me – to do for the next four months? Words like fire sale are closely associated with the team as it […]
Miami Marlins and Tampa Bay Rays: Signs of a Baseball Apocalypse
MARLBORO, NY – In traveling through Florida on a two and a half week hiatus in which it rained every day of the trip, the opportunity forced by Mother Nature had me and my hosts attending baseball games in Miami and Tampa. There’s a bunch to extrapolate on regarding these stadiums, the baseball experience, and […]
Dallas Cowboys, Jason Witten Wig? NHL Playoffs, Boston Bruins Game 7
MARLBORO, NY – It’s not easy being a sports fan in NYC when you root for the hometown team’s adversaries. Being a Boston Bruins and Dallas Cowboys fan gets you zero sympathy around these parts but I’m going to discuss a few items regarding both of these favorite teams of mine. Too bad, it’s Sunday […]
Skip the Little League World Series,Here Are NFL Fantasy Football Picks!
MARLBORO, NY – It’s August and for me that means two things–the Little League World Series tournament and NFL Fantasy Football season. As much as I’d like to pontificate about the Little Leaguers, I’ll save that for a future column. Like DJ Eberle on Monday, I’ll give you one sleeper at each position but unlike […]
