Puck Heads, NHL Playoffs, In-Fighting
uMARLBORO, NY – Today, I’m going to piggyback on Different Matt’s column from Friday regarding the NHL Playoffs, by saying the opening round has been listless at best… and that’s coming from a huge puck-head like myself. As much as I love the great game of hockey, I just can’t help at marvel over the […]
Sports Resurrected: MLB News, NHL Hockey, Horse Racing… No NFL!
Happy Easter and Passover! MARLBORO, NY – My annual March malaise has come to its end as we flip the page to April. On this Easter Sunday and April Fool’s Day, I’m here to talk of resurrection in sports. Basketball. The NCAA Championship game is tomorrow and hell-if-I-care-about-who’s-playing but I’ll tune in anyway. If we’re […]
Utterly Mind Blowing Upsets. UMBC Retrievers
MARLBORO, NY – It’s often said if you live long enough you’ll witness everything there is to see; and that includes sports. All that was missing for my late 1960’s born brethren until Friday night was a #16 versus #1 NCAA Basketball Tournament upset. UMBC (University of Maryland-Baltimore County) may as well stand for Utterly […]
Stan Fischler: Hockey Maven, Sports Fan, All-Time Great.
MARLBORO, NY – Mostly all young and emerging readers pick their reading material based on subject matter. I was no different. If the book was sports-related in some way I would pick it up and for the most part enjoy what I was reading. As you all know by now, I am a rabbit rabid […]
Tasteless NFL Pizza Wars, Peyton Manning, Papa John’s, Stan Fischler. Cheesy Bruin Slices The Cheese
MARLBORO, NY – Maybe they took a taste test at the league office. Maybe it was the company’s tasteless former CEO John Schnatter’s comments blaming NFL player protests for Papa John’s declining sales. Maybe they finally decided his pizza sucks so bad it was time toss his pies. Maybe it was all of the above. […]
$$$ NHL Hockey Is For Everyone?! Don’t Tell That to Devante Smith-Pelly, Willie O’Ree
MARLBORO, NY – Last week Angry Ward asked for my take on that unfortunate incident that occurred during the Chicago Black Hawks vs Washington Capitals game at the ironically-named “United” Center. So, today I am here today to extrapolate on such. Four ignoramuses – you know the type – the ones with front-row, ice-level seats, […]
Ryan McDonagh, NHL Trade Rumors, Bruins and Rangers Trade
MARLBORO, NY – On Wednesday I really noticed that my nighttime television viewing centers on one thing and one thing only… hockey! It was an epiphany of sorts since there was nary a game to be broadcast this night in question. I couldn’t even find a college game and felt annoyed. Fu Puck Heads like […]
The King?! Henrik Lundqvist is the Don Mattingly of Hockey in NYC Sports Lore
NEW YORK, NY – This city is so great they named it twice – and to get a nickname in this town as an athlete is almost always well-deserved and fitting. You won’t get an argument from me on any of these feted NYC heroes except for one: Henrik “The King” Lundqvist of the New […]
FREE Super Bowl Picks, Gronkowski’s Head, Joe Thiesmann as Brady?!
MIDDLETOWN, NY – Eagles versus Patriots. Not exciting to me at all. So instead, I’m altering the normal site of a small gathering among good friends, who also are less than enthusiastic about the last game of the football season. I am spending this unofficial holiday known as Super Big Game Sunday at Elks Lodge […]
Old Fart Cheesy Bruin: No Facebook Baseball, NFL Draft, Mets
MARLBORO, NY – I was all set to make predictions for the opening round of the NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs but the bottom half of the standings in each conference are as muddled as my life, so those prognostications will have to wait. What I do know is the Boston Bruins are in, as are […]
