The Good and Bad Of Hiring Tom Thibodeau
SPANISH HARLEM – Last week, the New York Knicks announced that they were hiring Tom Thibodeau to be their next head coach.

Michael Jordan: ESPN Documentary and His Impact on Me
SPANISH HARLEM – With nothing much going in sports, ESPN has decided to air the Michael Jordan documentary that they had planned for in June. “The Last Dance” is a 10-part series that follows Jordan and the Chicago Bulls through their 1997 season, which was his last with the Bulls and lead to his final […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Talking G.O.A.T., Lebron is Overrated
Stamford, CT: Clickbait, got you. Lebron is not overrated. He carried a bunch of stiffs to the NBA finals in one of his most impressive seasons. But if you’re going to talk G.O.A.T. and use the eight straight finals as one of your talking points, it’s only fair to point out the less-than-stellar competition in […]
The Week That Was: Yankees, Eagles and Knicks
The week that was has not been good to me. The New York Yankees lost in the ALCS and though the Philadelphia Eagles won on Monday, they lost two key players in Jordan Hicks and Jason Peters for the season. To matters worse the New York Knicks are 0-3… I knew the Knicks would be […]

MARLBORO, NY– Today marks the first day of my 50th year on this earth and when you get to be this age you pretty much think you’ve seen it all if you’re a sports fan. Not that I consider myself a know-it-all, but a sports fan my age has witnessed some of the G.O.A.T. in […]
Anthony Mason: New Yorker and Knick For Life
SPRINGFIELD GARDENS, QUEENS – He left a mark in fan’s memories the same way he bruised the opposition attempting to travel inside the paint in hopes of filling the hole on a basketball court. Anthony Mason played larger than his 6’7″, 250-pound frame and got the most out of his ability based more upon determination than an […]

“I hate these word crimes You really need a Full time proofreader You dumb mouth-breather” – “Weird” Al Yankovic, from his latest track Word Crimes. EL BARIO, BRONX – This week’s Sports Bully Pulpit required some real scrambling. The mid-season MLB All-Star game break creates the absolute slowest week in sports. There is nothing to […]
Blaber’s Blabberings: Inappropriate Jokes, Lebron James to Cleveland, World Cup, MLS, WNBA
“That’s a sad story. No one should have to be in Cleveland for 10 years.” – Mikel Jolsman, (my rugby friend), on the 3 girls held captive in a Cleveland home for 10 years. EL BARIO, BRONX – The above joke was crude but made me laugh so hard I spilled my coffee. Where I spilled it […]
