John Madden: Making My Job Harder

October 12th, 2006 · No Comments

From my experience coaching football I would say its not John’s fault, but the video game donning his name is killing me. Quarterbacks refuse to throw the ball until they see the receiver in space rather than read the play and throw the ball into space out of the receiver’s break. That alone […]

What Is Happening To Baseball In Our Cities?

August 4th, 2006 · No Comments

Quite some time ago, long before video games could show the sweat on a player’s forehead, kids actually spent their summer months playing baseball. In the days of Joe Di Maggio and Ted Williams, kids played baseball all day, every day. It was a sport that was available to all children, rich or […]

You Know When You Said You Would Root For Your Favorite Team Forever?

June 24th, 2006 · 1 Comment

Yea, you are going to have to hold up your end of that deal now, because Eternal Images Inc. has just become the only officially licensed coffin maker of Major League Baseball. In an unrelated matter, I think it is official that we can assume Bud Selig is the spawn of the devil.

Black Eye For Rugby

June 21st, 2006 · No Comments

On June 17, a rugby team which includes many NYC Firefighters refused to play another local rugby team. As far as I remember, the only other time a rugby team refused to play was a few years back when Stanford refused to play Cal citing that they had no chance so why risk the […]

Thinking: Not A Requirement For The Modern-Day Student Athlete

May 30th, 2006 · No Comments

I have ripped on dumb moves by atheles a lot in the young history of my page, so I have tried to avoid the subject, but this was too much fun to pass by. This morning in the Seattle Times, Bud Withers compiled a list of the top ten, strangest… or dumbest… moves ever […]

Tim Seely: Rock Star

May 29th, 2006 · No Comments

There are two motives behind this post, in no particular order. The timing comes because I just installed an audio player that will imbed into my posts and I wanted to try it out:

If you click play, the song that you are listening to was written and performed by Stephanie’s cousin, Tim Seely. […]
