The Orioles did their best to minimize the impact of the first stage of what still looks to be a daunting April schedule by completing a 3-game sweep of the Rays on Sunday, sending the team home, undefeated record intact and alone atop the AL East…for the time being anyway. Bolstered by their pitching despite [...]

As spring slowly begins to unfold in all of its glory and the NCAA basketball tournament heads inevitably toward its conclusion, the harbingers of baseball season are now all present and accounted for. And while the excitement and enthusiasm that are inherent to this time of year begin once again invading our sports consciousness, it’s [...]

Keeping in mind that perjury is and has to be seen as the cardinal sin of the American Justice system, it’s still tough not to feel – as US v. Bonds gets set to resume at long last – that this has become a witch hunt of epic proportions now hell bend on holding Barry [...]

With the NFL squarely in the throes of the most tumultuous labor situation in the league’s history it was certainly logical to expect that they’d be hard at work on the business of implementing rules and disciplinary policy changes instead of working with the organization formerly known as the NFLPA toward an end to this [...]

One of my favorite guests to talk to each and every week is Todd Helmick from NationalChamps.net who joins me on Fridays and is a veritable wealth of college football analysis and information.

Monday 3-Pointer  #1 – The Real NBA MVP   As the NBA post-season nears and conference seedings become realized, the debate over who should walk away with the league’s MVP trophy is picking up traction too. While there are plenty of good candidates to speak of, and the closing weeks of the season will certainly [...]

As it relates to the current round of contentiousness between NFL labor and management we the fans are being punched in the face with a lot of harsh and somewhat stunning realizations:   First is that the amount of money being fought over between the two sides is insane. One [...]

Tuesday 3-Pointer  #1 – Buck’s Biggest Impact: Walks on Water or Wakes Up Wieters?   While it’s easy to get caught up in the inherent euphoria of the Buck Showalter experience so far, as I wrote a couple of weeks ago I’m having a hard time envisioning Showalter (or anyone for that matter) possibly living [...]
