A Day In The Sports Movies Life
UPTOPIA, KA – Happy Sunday, everybody! Wait, not exactly chipper? Hungover? Thinking the work week looms? Well, here’s a glimpse of a day in my life that might you feel a tad better about your situation… and I’ve tied a sports movie into it, just to keep with all things Mattville. 7:00-7:15 The day starts [...]
Rock Songs For Sports From Rocker/Sports Fan
CLEVELAND, OH – As much as I enjoy British rock super-groups like The Who and Led Zeppelin, I’ve always been more of an American Rock ‘n Roll kinda guy. One of those acts, who I regretfully have never seen in concert and thought I would long before the Boston Bruins would ever win the Stanley [...]
Washington Radical: Caps Coach Is All-Time Bad Guy
BOSTON, MA – This past Wednesday the NHL saw its defending Stanley Cup champion ousted in the opening round of the playoffs for the fourth consecutive year when the Washington Capitals bested Grote2DMax’s and my Boston Bruins 2-1 in overtime of Game 7. The best part of getting together to watch the game was the [...]
NHL Playoffs: Good, Bad, and Ugly
OTTAWA, CANADA – Playoff predictions made here last Sunday are doing surprisingly well complete with sub-plots holding true in most of the series except the Penguins in five which is looking like seven games since the Flyers would get more use out of a plastic supermarket shopping bag than goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov. In watching at [...]
NHL Playoffs Predictions
LAS VEGAS, NV – I’m using your money on these playoff predictions… #1 (seed) vs #8 The Senators’ attention deficit disorder on defense keeps this series from going longer than five games. The Rangers superior defense and goaltending offset the Sens offensive talent. The Blueshirts don’t break a sweat in any games. The pick: Rangers [...]
Moldy Cheese + Arkansas Pigs = Happy Easter
PIGSTOWN, ARKANSAS – Every Tuesday and Wednesday on MTM, we all get treated to the gripes and anger of Grote2DMax and Angry Ward, respectively. Not to step on these venerable contributors’ toes but I’ve got a few things in the sports world driving me crazier than normal.
April’s NHL Fools
NEW YORK, NY – This past week there were some pretty unusual circumstances for one particular New York hockey team – happenstance that made hated cross town rivals drunk with delight. Most of MTM fans probably didn’t notice the Islanders improbable home-and-away sweep of the Pittsburgh Penguins, beating the Crosbies 5-3 in both contests– and [...]
ABA: Worst Team Logos & Names?
VERO BEACH, FL – This past week, Grote2DMax griped about the worst sports uniforms and Angry Ward continued his vacation in God’s Waiting Room, sometimes referred to as The Sunshine State. Connecting the two dots, I was reminded of the American Basketball Association and the league’s imagination in establishing team logos and names. What does [...]
Extreme Wilpon-ing In Landfill Of Dreams
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL – Another baseball season is on the horizon. Some people, mostly Yankee fans, await the 162 games + the inevitable expanded post-season, as the rest spend hard-earned money seeing their also-rans (Mets) perform… until they screw up and throw yet another year into the Landfill of Dreams. I’ll be a casual [...]

Not since the snakes were eradicated from the motherland by our favorite saint, did a massacre occur equally horrifying in The States. Setting & Participants: [...]
