Draft Dodger
The Felt Forum, Or Whatever They’re Calling It These Days- I became an NFL draft junkie back in the late 1980s when I was living in Michigan and got cable for the first time in my life. It was a revelation. As a young man who not only cared way too much about football (the [...]
Ryan Leaf Screws Up Again
DJ Eberle is a student/athlete at Western New England University. He is an offensive tackle, built like his dad; a rugby Prop. Today he fills in for West Coast Craig, who is losing his house and children’s future in Vegas.

Lin Over My Head
NEW YORK, NY – You know how most people celebrate President’s Day by traveling, shopping, or some other leisurely activity? Well, my dad and I watch the Arkansas Southwest Stakes to check out what 3-year-olds thoroughbreds will make it to the Kentucky Derby this year. I know this sounds strange, but everything with my father [...]
Super Bowl XOXO
NEW YORK, NY – So, last week, Short Matt asked me to write for today so I could discuss my Giants win. I feared that he had just jinxed us, and wouldn’t reply to his text. But, thankfully for him, they persevered and Giants Fever is spreading through the country faster than herpes. The media [...]
ELI MAN-CRUSH: Did I Just Coin That???
Silverlake, Los Angeles–The Priuses (Priusii?) circled the block looking for parking, a Buddhist monk named Lama laughed at a commercial with vampires disintegrating in front of Audi headlights, smokey aroma from the carne asada on the grill–from that carniceria in Compton–filled the air…the Super Bowl party I went to probably wasn’t much like the one [...]

The Prince has a new Kingdom and Giants on the Brink.
New York, NY – The big baseball news this week is the Detroit Tigers landing all-star first baseman, Prince Fielder for $214 million over nine years. Fielder will try to hit homeruns out of the cavernous Comerica Park for the better part of the next decade as the Tigers first baseman. The only problem is [...]
Angry Ward Wednesday: The Times They Are A-Changin’
NEW YORK, NY – For those of you who don’t live in these parts, the tri-state area got it’s first semi-serious snowfall of the winter this past weekend. As I walked along, kinda enjoying the fresh white coating, hours before it would be turned into bus exhaust painted gray sludge, I saw a bunch of [...]
The Giants Win The Pennant! The Giants Win The Pennant! The Giants Win The Pennant!
LOS ANGELES, CA – It was overcast out here this morning, having rained the other night and the skies still a bruised grey. The winds are back, no warm Santa Anas these, but bracing, whipping in off the perpetually cold Pacific… But of course I’m not here to talk about the local weather today – [...]
