So last night in Miami, Rex Ryan attended the Strikeforce MMA fights. I’m sure he had a good time. Evidently, a few Dolphins’ fans engaged him in a moment of friendly (or not-so) banter about the Jets. Here’s a picture of Rex’s response to them, courtesy of Sports By Brooks: Later in the evening, Ryan was interviewed by Showtime ... Read More »

Starting on Monday, February 1 and running through Friday, February 5, we’re gonna put a b-slapping on anyone and everyone from Baltimore who ventures to Ft. Lauderdale to do radio/reporting for Super Bowl 44. I’m not really sure who, exactly, is going to be in the Ft. Lauderdale Convention Center with us next week. I know this, ... Read More »

I love the United States of America. I start my show at 6:07 am every single morning by reciting The Pledge of Allegiance.  I even emphasize the words “under God” because someone sent me an e-mail three or four months ago objecting to me including the Pledge in my show because I wasn’t sympathetic to the ...

The Orioles have parted ways with right handed relief pitcher Dennis Sarfate, designating him for assignment in a move to make room for Miguel Tejada on the team’s 40-man roster. Sarfate appeared in only 20 games a season ago after suffering from discomfort in his right hand and missing the final four months of the ‘09 ... Read More »

So it appears as if the O’s off-season efforts to improve have concluded. With today’s formal announcement that Miguel Tejada has returned to Baltimore for at least one more season, the Birds winter shopping endeavors landed four players: relief pitcher Mike Gonzalez, who figures to inherit the closer role veteran starter pitcher Kevin Millwood 3rd-baseman-turned-1st-baseman Garrett Atkins shortstop-turned-3rd-baseman Miguel Tejada Of ...

For years now — too many for my comfort — the Baltimore college basketball scene has played second fiddle to the likes of neighboring Philadelphia and Washington DC. Philly, of course, has the famed “Big Five” that has morphed into more like the “Sexy Six” with the emergence of Drexel over the last decade or so. If ... Read More »

OK, so I handled it wrong. It’s not often that I write a blog and then, 24 hours later, decide to admit that perhaps I could have done better with it. Upon further review, I don’t think yesterday’s piece on FanFest and Miguel Tejada turned out to be reprensentative of the way I really feel. It took reading ... Read More »

Recap – It’s still a loss. And they just keep piling up for the Towson Tigers…but Saturday’s 80-71 loss at home to George Mason represented the Tigers’ best effort against a quality opponent since a late November loss at Dayton. Towson trailed throughout the second half before going on an 8-0 run late in the game and forging ... Read More »

The Convention Center was awash with orange today and by any account, Orioles FanFest was a whopping success. I was there from 12 noon until 1:15 or so and the place was mobbed with baseball fans, nearly all of them sporting some kind of O’s jersey, hat or shirt. Personally, I’d be fibbing if I said I ...

For the record, in case you’re interested… Here’s the “official” response you receive from the Orioles if you contact them about the recent announcement of a game-day ticket increase in 2010. I didn’t contact the team directly about this.  I’m still trying to get a reply from them about spring training.  I’ve made seven attempts to reach ... Read More »
