Angry Ward: JFK Stall Tactics and the New York Mets
NEW YORK, NY – This past Saturday I had no choice but to tend to some urgent intestinal matters in a restroom at JFK Airport. It’s bad enough to have to fly out of JFK, but to have to use its lavatories is a truly depressing endeavor. On the bright side, I was in 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 […]
Relaxed Ward Wednesday: Unwritten Rules, Unbreakable Records, Pitching Around the Yanks
PALM BEACH, FL – Enjoying Spring Break with the family down in sunny Florida while friends in NYC are hitting me with a barrage of texts featuring photos of snow. Looks pretty… awful. While I can’t quite match that in the “misery loves company” department, I did have to go to a Walmart the other day, […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Giants to Stand Pat and Draft Barkley or Darnold
Stamford, CT: The Big Ragu really saved Villanova last night, eh? But the most interesting thing going on in New York at the moment is the still the NFL draft. There are endless possibilities at the top and the New York Giants and New York Jets are pivotal players. There are four billion ways it […]
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 […]
Rain Man Rants: Sister Jean vs. Father Rob, Bazley to G-League, Chicago’s Emergency Goalie
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – Welcome to the Good Easter edition of the Rain Man Rants. Good Easter because it is after Good Friday but before Easter Sunday so, I call it Good Easter Saturday. So after paying attention to everyone elses articles, I decided to take a chance and not talk about Baseball or […]
Loyola-Chicago, Purdue, Ichiro & Phelps and Worst Reffing Ever
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – When bat last in the order, you have to be creative with what you talk about. Most major events have discussed to death, so you usually get previews and stuff that happened on Thursday or Friday. Occasionally, I scan the papers and use social media but I got lucky this […]
MLB Opening Day Looming, March Madness in Full Swing, Rangers’ Smith Dilemma
NEW YORK – With winter refusing to die, it’s hard to believe that we’re less than a week away from MLB Opening Day… March Madness has been okay and the NY Rangers have less than ten games left before they start setting themselves up for a busy draft. And they’ll also have to figure out […]
Angry Ward: March Badness – The Mets are Doomed, So’s Your NCAA Bracket, and NFL Draft Talk is for Suckers
BRONX, NY – It’s snowing like mad… at least that’s what I’m assuming, based on Tuesday night’s projections. Isn’t that f**king great? While I’ve long argued that February is the worst month of all, don’t sell March short. Both months are like god-awful sequels to all of the other great months. Think of them as The […]
My Birthday Wishes For My Favorite Teams: Knicks, Yankees, Eagles
SPANISH HARLEM– Just like every athlete, I want to thank the man upstairs for all that I have. Been blessed in ways that’s hard to ignore. That said, I really didn’t have anything to write about because the New York Yankees stink and the Knicks are rebuilding until further notice. All due respect to Angry […]
