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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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. […]
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 […]
