Rain Man Rant: NBA And NHL Playoffs, Marijuana in Sports And Arsene Wenger.
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – The weekend is finally here, and I can’t wait to put my feet up. Last week, I said the word on the street is that Spring is around the corner. I think I forgot to mention, and down a few blocks. I don’t know when it will get here, I just […]
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 […]
Big Ben Whitney: Big Changes for NY Rangers; The Russians are Coming, Viggy Gone
MADISON SQUARE GARDEN, NY – There has been some big New York Rangers news over the past few days; Alain Vigneault is gone and they are bringing back Russian exile Ilya Kolvachuck. If you think I’m talking Rangers because I don’t want to face up to the ugly play of the Yankees, you’d be right. But still, […]
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 […]
Mets and Yanks Off to Good Starts, MLB Should Shorten the Season
NEW YORK, NY – The mostly empty stadiums and games cancelled due to snow must mean that it’s early April and baseball is back again. The Mets and Yankees have battled the elements to start off the season strongly. The Amazin’s strong starting pitching and big bats have powered them to a 5-1 start. Cespedes, Bruce, […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]
