NEW YORK, NY – This past Saturday, a little before noon, I noticed there wasn’t a new column posted on this site, so I jumped into action. Well… maybe more like I yawned, flipped open my laptop and flopped down on my bed into action. You know what I mean. Anyway, shortly after my instant-effort published, Management posted the regularly-scheduled article. So, I guess what I’m getting around to is, I don’t see why I should be expected to write anything today. And I’m not. Specifically, I’m not writing about…

Tracy Morgan Getting Food Poisoning and Throwing Up Courtside at a Knicks Game. Tracy’s a real New York character, who deserves better than someone making fun of him getting ill. I won’t do it. Besides, he’s a very approachable guy who finds his way up to my hood quite often.

Aaron Rodgers. F**k and No.

March Madness. I lost interest in college basketball a few years back and never looked back.

St. Patrick’s Day. Same as above but, MORE than a few years back. Many more.

MLB Season Opener in Japan. Only MLB can make something look and feel like exhibition baseball but have it count in the standings.

NHL. JG Clancy will be the first to tell you, it’s way too early to be talking about hockey.

JG Clancy

Mock NFL Drafts. I mock Mock NFL Drafts. Ptooey!

Lent Resolutions. Please.

Rugby. I’m already well over my quota.

Sports Movies. No. But I will say that I saw a film called Black Bag this past Saturday and enjoyed it. One of the main reasons I enjoyed it was that it had a running time of like an hour and thirty-five minutes. Bless anyone who greenlights any movie under two hours these days. Fer crissakes, make some choices and hire a decent editor.

Golf. Um… nope.

Current Events. Heavens, no.

Yep, that about covers all that I won’t be discussing today. Come back tomorrow for Buddy Diaz, who should really consider giving up the Yankees for Lent.

Angry Ward, who has admirers at the New York Times, is the quintessential angry sports fan but for one exception... he's flat-out funny. And the angrier he gets, the more amusing his work becomes. Psychiatrists say, "Angry Ward's 'anger' is a direct result of "Bronx/Mets syndrome: growing up in the Bronx as a Mets fan." As if that weren't enough, his Minnesota North Stars abandoned him for Dallas, forcing him to embrace The Wild the way Nancy Pelosi embraces Mitch McConnell at charity events. And while his Vikings only tease him with success, his Golden State Warriors actually win these days. A-Dubya is MTM's longest-tenured indentured servant, its Larry David and quite simply, "The Franchise." (Junoir Blaber disputes this). Vent, curse and giggle with him on Angry Ward Wednesdays.
