Ray Lewis’s Post-Game Speech
There are plenty of Ray Lewis haters out there. I don’t know enough to judge him as a man. Maybe those who’ve studied his case and all the evidence can and have come to a more informed opinion. They are obviously so entitled. I know several folks, including some in my family, who have forever [...]
Giant(s) Love Fest: “My Boy” Kevin Boothe
My week-long Giant(s) love fest continues following yesterday’s Coughlin celebration. Today, we offer big ups to our main man Kevin Boothe. That’s right. Kevin. Mutha&*^!ing. Boothe. Beeotches. Respect him. OK, so Kevin Boothe isn’t really our boy, but he’s a fellow Cornell graduate. And THAT, my friends, makes him post-worthy. You see not a lot [...]
Giant(s) Love Fest: Tom Coughlin’s Best Coaching Job Yet?
It is often said the measure of a coach is how hard his team plays for him. By that criteria, Tom Coughlin may have done the best coaching job of his career in steering the 2011-12 version of the New York Football Giants to Super Bowl XLVI. If nothing else, the Giants late-season run has [...]
A Giant(s) Love Fest: Prepare for a Week-Long Celebration
It’s time. I’ve never been a Giants-hater, but it’s tough to split your allegiances on New York teams, even if your team of choice isn’t even in the tournament. Yet, as my wife (diehard Giants fan) so eloquently put it last night… “Your daughter has been on this Earth for five months, and she’s already [...]
Rangers Welcome Darvish, Potential Nicknames Abound
The Texas Rangers officially welcomed 25-year old pitcher Yu Darvish yesterday in Arlington. The hard-throwing former Japanese league star was one of the hottest names of the offseason with Texas scoring the righty just before a 5 p.m. deal deadline this past Wednesday. Darvish will rock #11 and just how good he will be stateside [...]
Best of the Sports Kidcasters: Five Faves
How many times have we as sports fans commented that we could seemingly do a better job than many of the blowhards in the TV booth, radio box or live on the airwaves talking sports? Well, a new wave of kidcasters is trying to prove that sports reporting is truly child’s play. Their respective journalistic [...]

Best NFL Playoff Interview: Can’t Wait vs. My Quarterback
Playoffs? Playoffs!!?? Everyone knows that clip and Jim Mora is rightfully immortalized for it. But what about two memorable interviews from recent memory and, well, the playoffs! The past few seasons have produced a pair of the most memorable post-game oratory performances in NFL history. One, soaring in victory. The other, whimpering in defeat. Both [...]

10 Years Ago, Rob Ray Pummels Fan
OK, so it’s a little ahead of an official 10th anniversary. And, no, this has not much to do with anything. But I stumbled upon some hockey fight countdowns recently and landed on one particular clip from legendary enforcer Rob Ray. The “Rayzor” spent the better part of his career in Buffalo pounding opponents as [...]

Markel Brown with Dunk of the Year?
Oklahoma State’s Markel Brown didn’t get to participate in the final seven minutes of his squad’s huge upset win last night over #2-ranked Missouri. No matter. His teammates went on a late run to cement the victory and Brown can take solace in the fact that he may be the leading early candidate for college [...]

St. John’s Red Storm Boast Best Named Roster in Country?
I’ve not paid a huge amount of attention to Johnnies hoops in these parts in quite some time. Truth be told, I’d love them to become more relevant and think Lavin is the right man for the job. Right now, though, the Red Storm is a middling 5-5 on the season and have suffered through [...]

If at first you don’t succeed, try Tebowing.
You’ve flat out refused to do it. You’re having none of it, no matter how funny, cute or “divine” it may be. You would prefer to spend your entire day planking than be seen for five seconds on one knee, head bowed. Well, if you ain’t gettin’ what you think is yours, why not give [...]

Dear Time Warner: Keep MSG and the Knicks Off the Air
I work a lot. I enjoy coming home, catching up with the Mrs., grabbing a bit to eat and, if I’m lucky, catching perhaps the last few minutes of a Knicks game. That “luxury” is now gone due to the rift between Time Warner Cable and MSG. At first, this bothered me. Now, my view [...]
