Playoff Bound NY Jets, NY Rangers Draft Pick, Israel Folau
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS: I got the text that Replacement Matt had refused to replace last night. I thought to myself how has he managed to constantly escape this sports blog, hotel California, know as MTM productions. He has to share his secret with the rest of us. At least with Ward, you can’t seem […]
Ward and Peace Wednesday: NFL Playoffs, Matt Harvey, and the Longest MTM Post Ever Published
NEW YORK, NY – That loud hissing sound you’re hearing is all the air being let out of the “Holiday Season” balloon. Hope everyone had a great Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, New Years, whatever. To paraphrase Billy Shakespeare: Now is the winter of our discontent. Here in the Northeast, and particularly in New York, the […]
Angry Ward Wednesday: Giants O, Giant Rugby Kid, Die Hards – I Don’t Get it!
BRONX, NY – The Inwood Piper’s Kilt is closed, the Mets and Yanks are somehow still in the playoff hunt, LA has another mega-million flop on its hands with the Rams, Short Matt has already been married a year… things are starting to get a little weird. It’s not that I need to understand all […]
Why Do We Play Sports? Are We Trying to be a Sports Hero?
LONDON, ENGLAND – Why do we play sports? And why do we get so much out of watching sports being played? Because it’s fun – woo, go team! Etc etc? Because it’s inspiring? Sure. But WHY is it so much fun? Why is it so inspiring? Why has every human culture on the surface of the […]
Czar Trump: What If Donald Trump Ruled Sports?
NEW YORK, NY – The lines between suspended reality and reality have not just blurred, they’ve vanished. The Donald Trump has vanquished such lines, as he farts, belches, swears, spits and flips the bird on his way to The White House… um, er… The Trump House. But hold on… what if John & Mary Q. […]
Sick Wife, Super Bowl Monotony, Dry Cleaned Baseball Caps.
EL BARRIO, EL BRONX – It’s been very hectic/long week for me, so I couldn’t find time to read the sports section. (Do newspapers still have sports sections? What’s a newspaper? Read these questions aloud in your Jerry Seinfeld voice). So I’ll “pull an Angry Ward” and just go with whatever I feel like talking […]
Jets v Bills, Soccer/Rugby Boots, and Marketing Dept Are Ruining Sports!
EL BARRIO, LA BRONX – What a week! I was gearing up to talk sports then all of that kicked off in Paris. I have nothing to say beyond that “S%*&t is F@#$ked up.” I say that primarily because that is all you can say at a time like this. It is a very sad […]
Don’t Call It A Comeback: Junoir’s Back with Mets, NFL and Rugby World Cup!
El BARIO, EL BRONX – Don’t call it a comeback! Been writing for years! Rocking wit my peers, enough to shed tears. Apologies to LL Cool J, but I couldn’t think of a better intro. I have been gone for 3 weeks and every second for good cause. Wedding, Honeymoon, Funeral! It appears a lot […]
You Got Something to Say About My Mets Hat Now?
El Barrio, La Bronx -Another busy week has passed by rapidly for yours truly. I spoke at a business seminar, (the 1st Republican debate) helped an old client (Sepp Blatter, who insisted on paying me for helping empty his) and found time to help out Ma Blaber. Still, I do have stories to share about […]
Battle For The Mitten: MLB Lugnuts, Michigan St Spartans vs Michigan Wolverines, Rugby
EAST LANSING, MI – There are few bigger sports rivalries than Michigan State vs Michigan. And with this being #RivalryWeekend, this small town is upside down. Spartans vs Wolverines, it don’t get much better. Saturday football in the fall. But what the heck is all this about Friday Night Lights, you ask? Glad you asked. […]
