Michigan Finds Their Next Head Basketball Coach
SPANISH HARLEM – I bleed Blue but it’s not the one many fans in New York would expect. The Blue I’m talking about is the color that represents the Michigan Wolverines. When I was a kid I loved their uniforms. To me, the colors just worked. That’s when I became a fan – even before […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: No LeBron, No Tiger, No Problem – Sports Addition By Subtraction
BRONX, NY – Monday night the Golden State Warriors finished off a sweep of the Portland Trailblazers without the help of Kevin Durant, who is arguably one of the three best players in the game, if not THE best. Anyway, leading up to the sweep, and in its aftermath, sports dopes like Chis Broussard and Stephen […]
Big Ben Tuesday: The Ranch Accident and Bleak Outlook for the Mets
Flushing, Toilet: I’m back from a hockey weekend in Nashville where my mighty beer league team managed one tie in three games.

UNIVERSAL STUDIOS E-WALK – As I lick my wounds and brace for more disappointment from my teams, I’d like to continue the trend of talking about sports in the abstract and big picture, rather than dwell on more sorrow and ineptitude from the hometown NY boys. Today, I’d like to discuss something that has been […]
New York Knicks Get 3rd Pick In NBA Draft. What Will /Should They Do?
SPANISH HARLEM – Where do I begin? I guess the best place to start is when I found out the New York Knicks were among the last 4 teams for the 1st pick in the NBA draft. I had just seen the other two teams that were tied with the same odds, the Cleveland Cavaliers […]
Angry Water Wednesday: Knicks Tank Job Goes in the Tank
SEATTLE, NY – For those of you who don’t live here, it’s been raining like a muthaf**ker in New York. If you don’t know how to swim, or own an ark, this is not the place to be right now. The past two Sundays have been epic washouts. It rained like a b!tch again Monday. And […]
Big Ben: Searching for the Next Ovibender; Stanley Cup Bingers
SAN JOSE, CA: When the Caps won the Stanley Cup last season, Alexander Ovechkin went on a month long celebratory bender. In the process, he transformed himself from weird Russian buddy of Putin, to a partying legend. I’m looking at the four remaining teams in the NHL playoffs to see if anyone can pick up […]
