Changes Are Good

Jan 12th, 2010 | By Dan | Category: Featured Story

My first title for this post was Transitioning. Do you know what the common usage for transitioning is?? It means process of changing genders. *SCREECH* That is what its most commonly used for. Of course I don’t mean it to be used that way, nor is it exclusively used just for that purpose, but [...]



The Heisman Trophy Winner is….

Dec 11th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: Featured Story, NCAA

The Heisman trophy will be awarded tomorrow night at the Downtown Athletic Club in New York City. Downtown Athletic Club..wouldn’t that be a great name for a sports bar..or even a strip club?

I’m not a big Tennis fan, but when I did watch it, back when McEnroe, Conners played and into the Agassi years, it was sparingly. This past week I watched an interview Agassi given to CBS on his book, Open, that is out now. In it he reveals his use of crystal meth, his father’s [...]

A Throating Stuffing Sport

Sep 16th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: Featured Story

I don’t watch much tennis. In fact you probably can count on one hand how many full tennis matches I have watched. I respect the athletes and I’m sure its a great game. I just can’t get into it. I’ve played tennis before and I’ve liked that, but watching not so much.
This week peaked my [...]



College Football Preview

Sep 4th, 2009 | By Dan | Category: College Football, Featured Story, NCAA

Its the eve of the opening day of college football, but it feels more like Christmas eve. The jock straps are hung by the locker with care in hopes that Dr. Lou will soon quit doing that lame segment on ESPN.
Another season is upon us and the road to Pasadena will be paved with potholes, [...]
