By Wink An exciting new story popped up in my local newspaper the other day. The Chicago Cubs may have thrown the World Series. Not LAST year’s World Series. They weren’t in that one. Nor the one before that. Or the one before that. Or the one before that. Okay, I couldn’t remember when the [...]

By Wink Dear Southerners; Are you trying to rid yourselves of that ‘southern hick’ label? The following story may not help… A University of Alabama football fan decided to show how much he hated Auburn University.  He poisoned two 130-year-old trees that Tiger fans regularly gather around after games. The trees are not expected to [...]

By Wink Do you know what a ‘perfect game’ is in baseball?  This occurs when one team has all 27 batters (3 per inning, times nine innings) retired in order. The very finest pitchers, even at the peak of their careers, know they will probably never throw a perfect game. If a batter reaches base [...]

By Wink Sports magazines, newspapers and television networks are all agog. LeBron James has apparently let a lot of people down. His team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, was just eliminated from the playoffs by the Boston Celtics. He didn’t win any championships with Cleveland. This wouldn’t be much of an issue, but all the aforementioned mags, [...]

So Tiger Woods said he would be a much more collected person since he returned from his time off. Yet we saw pretty much the same Tiger that we did before. On multiple occasions he used profanity. Who gives a crap? Jim Nantz, apparently some sort of golf announcer, said he would be fired if [...]

So an NCAA panel has decided that, if it were to expand the Men’s NCAA Basketball Tournament, it would create a 96 team format. I understand that this would give me teams a chance to go Dancing, but lets be honest, why do they really want to expand? Short answer: Money. Long answer: MOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEYYYYYYY. We [...]

By Wink The Winter Olympics are now over. Did you enjoy them? Did you watch ANY of it? I did, and am startled to announce my personal conversion: The winter games are more fun than the summer games. Can’t believe it? I can hardly believe it either. I have always been one (of the many) [...]

Tiger Owes Me an Apology!

By Wink Tiger apologized recently. It was broadcast live on TV. This was a really big story. Whole televised sports hours were dedicated to discussing all aspects of this. Countless hours of radio programming, even on non-sports stations, have parsed his words and vocal intonations. Newspapers and magazines are swimming in articles about this. Was [...]

As you probably know by now, Tim Tebow has an ad in The Big Game this weekend. He with his mother are discussing the choice that she made not to have an abortion. For some reason this ad is considered controversial. By who, I don’t know. Often times when a superstar, whether it is an [...]

By Wink Formerly fierce Conrad Dobler has paid a terrible price for choosing the NFL as a career. No longer a physical specimen (in the positive sense), today he is 90% disabled, having suffered through numerous operations to repair his battered body. He has had too many surgeries to count, but let us just begin [...]
