First off, prayers out to all in Texas dealing with that devastating storm and 500 year flooding. Jeff, if you see this I hope all is well in your area. I just want to go on record as saying Baseball may not have the flash of the races per se, but there really are some […]
What does it say about the state of sports right now that a WWE style event such as Mayweather/McGregor dominated the talk yesterday? It’s beyond clear that sports is no longer sports, it is sports-entertainment, or entertainment-sports. Whatever, no wonder so many people show less and less interest in sports. Sometimes, no matter what the […]
I really didn’t want to talk about the NBA, but because it’s LeBron James world and we all live in it, so I guess we have to. A funny thing happened on the way of LBJ’s desire to obliterate the Cavalier franchise on the way out the door to LA – Boston stepped in and […]
I don’t know if I have high expectations or what, but it’s time for me to vent: If you absolutely, positively feel that you have to call in to a sports talk show, can you please be coherent so that people understand you? Takes are one thing and I have no problem with that, but […]
Yesterday I talked about what I’m resisting. Today is what I believe and with most definite apologies to Kevin Costner and the movie Bull Durham, here I go: I believe in the soul, love, and respect, the smells of a baseball game, a goal line stand, damn good BBQ – preferably brisket, good rum once […]
You know, all this talk of #resistance has got me stirred. Today, I’m going to stand up and resist, and for the next 900 words, I’m going to talk about what I choose to resist. I’m resisting the NCAA and I call for its immediate termination. I’m resisting big-time D1 college football programs recruiting 8th […]
After winning in New England, Jacksonville returned home to play the Buccaneers. Like, me, how many of you thought we were going to win? Words can’t describe how I feel. I have been writing my 2017 Jacksonville predictions with a high hope of optimism. Now I have a sinking feeling in my stomach. This was […]
It’s a Mid-August Saturday and do you know what I heard on sports talk this morning while taking my wife to work? The NBA. YGBSM (You gotta be shitting me)!!! Let me clue the folks in on MadDog Radio on Sirius XM about what was going on last night: NFL Preseason. Fridays lone game was […]
I sat down to watch some games last night and certainly was left unimpressed, particularly with Jacksonville and Miami. Poor play, many questions about offenses and offensive lines, and frankly just not that much energy until the ham and eggers came in to fight for the scraps of plays and jobs. Its like the guys […]
Another weekend of preseason football starts tonight (all Florida teams involved). Personally, I’m not enthused, but I’m grateful because it means that I don’t have to see Dallas at the Rams on a feedback loop on NFL Network. Buffalo at Philly. I’m pretty bullish on both teams – in the future – as in 2018 […]
