Okay, so the forces of nature have aligned themselves to present us with two drastically different parenting approaches.
It’s All On You Junior
It’s really comforting to know that professional athletes are driven by the sheer need to compete, succeed, and excel at their sport. And I suppose, as was the case for Barry Bonds, if […]

So here’s the deal. Spain has had their national anthem since the 18th century, and that entire time, more than 200 years, it has been sans lyrics. It is just a tune, but just a tune no more.

First off, they weren’t the team I was pulling for but congrats anyway to the Anaheim Ducks and their Stanley Cup win which was watched last night by a total of 37 people. This year’s Cup Finals had such low ratings, that it lost out to “Build A Better Burger” on the Food Network. […]

I really don’t know how else to categorize this other than desperation, although hindsight will either call it madness or brilliance. The Jets have invited two unlikely individuals to their rookie minicamp: world-class wrestlers Cole Konrad and Tommy Rowlands, both two-time NCAA wrestling champs who haven’t played football since middle school for the most […]

Hey, I knew it… now Chipper knows it: Major League Baseball has only three real concerns and those are profits, profits, and whores.
Chipper came to find out about concerns one and two by the fact that his Atlanta Braves get stuck playing the Bo Sox more than any other team in interleague play. And […]
