Post-game review – Talk about never giving up until the final horn sounded. The James Madison Dukes threw a scare into Towson tonight, as the Tigers watched a 16-point second half lead nearly evaporate before Troy Franklin finally hit two foul shots with 4.2 seconds left to provide Pat Kennedy’s team with an 81-78 win at the ...

Forget the woeful non-conference record and the shocking home loss to the CAA’s William and Mary. And don’t worry about the fact that this year’s ACC is a notch below - if not more - the overall talent level of the conference in the last few years. This Maryland team has a chance to make some ...

Tired of shoveling?  Yeah, me too. Please join me today at 4pm here at WNST.net for a great Sunday afternoon of live-chat…we’ll cover the Super Bowl, the Caps and their 13-game winning streak hosting the Penguins, and Maryland and UNC college hoops.  We should have plenty to discuss. Here’s the link to get in on all the ... Read More »

My guess is that by sometime around 3:30 or so on Sunday, we’ll all be sick to death of shoveling snow.  And what better way to get back to our “real world” of following sports - and preparing for Super Bowl 44 - then to have a live chat at WNST.net! So I’ll be manning the ... Read More »

Talk about people with too much time on their hands. Last week, the public outcry from certain groups in America focused on a Super Bowl TV commercial featuring a mother and her son sharing their life-story.  Once the folks protesting that commercial realized how idiotic they looked, they simmered down and started researching the next wild ...

At some point in Thursday’s edition of The Comcast Morning Show, Nestor, Glenn and I got into a discussion about Sunday’s upcoming Super Bowl and the obvious issue of “who to root for” in the big game. My response?  I honestly don’t care who wins. I don’t.  Really. E-mails flooded my inbox and a couple of people, mainly ... Read More »

A month or so ago, I bumped into my pal Steve Melewski at one of the rare home basketball games he covers from press row at Towson University. Melewski, of course, is the resident O’s media-public-defender at the MASN web-site and we naturally traded jabs about the O’s off-season and the manner in which we at ... Read More »

Since I couldn’t attend today’s press conference and ask questions, I figured the next best thing would be to respond to what I heard actually transpired and offer my own suggestions to the Ravens now that the 2009 season has ended and 2010 is underway. Consider this an open letter to Steve Bisciotti, Ozzie Newsome, Eric ... Read More »

It’s rare that I double-blog in a day, but today is different because someone connected with both of our local teams has made an impact on me. Earlier, I authored a review of the Peter Angelos comments made to Hal Bodley of MLB.com.  Now, I’m going to address a much more favorable part of my ... Read More »

Former Ravens tight end Dan Wilcox showed up at the Fort Lauderdale Convention Center this morning at 6am and did four hours of radio with me on The Comcast Morning Show. It dawned on me that his arrival and participation is one of the main reasons why the Orioles are screwed up. But I’ll save that for ... Read More »
