Whether Bill Walton delights or annoys you – he engages you as he shills for John Wooden, Maui Jim, and Tommy Bahama

December 1, 2020
ESPN college basketball analyst Bill Walton is wildly polarizing. When he and play-by-play voice Jason Benetti called the Maui Invitational’s first round game between Texas and Davidson, many Indiana fans were less than thrilled because IU played Providence in the second with that same team. Instead of talking about the game, Walton stumps for those who send […]
Paul Hornung dies – Louisville loses a friend, icon, and rogue
November 13, 2020
November 13, 2020
Paul Hornung died today, and his hometown of Louisville became less fun. ESPN will spend some time on Sportscenter eulogizing Hornung as Notre Dame’s Golden Boy and Vince Lombardi’s whipping boy. Louisvillians will mourn him differently. Sure, he won NFL Championships with the Packers and the Heisman Trophy at Notre Dame, but he was the […]
I promise to stay positive and upbeat, regardless of Colts, Pacers, and Indiana Basketball results

For as long as I can remember, I have been a guy who liked to call BS on cowardly management, corrupt policies, and bad mojo. Until today. Arrogance needed to be exposed as an unholy violation against humanity, or at least I used to think so. Dishonesty? It needs to be decried as the most repellent trait […]

I can’t stop laughing. After 40 years of annoying me and my dad before me, Dick Vitale finally made me laugh. It’s not the typically obsequious message to Houston Astros manager Dusty Baker that Vitale intends that continues to make me laugh as I write, but the Twitter handle Vitale believes belongs to Baker. I […]
Open letter for sports media folks who lose their jobs – it can be the best thing that ever happens to you

Dear sports media professional- I have some bad news. You are going to get fired. That’s the way it is. It might be tomorrow, next week, or next year, but the day will come that an employer will tell you to pack a box – or have security lead you to the front door with […]

Dan McNeil, formerly of 670 The Score in Chicago, stepped on one of the growing number of broadcasting’s third rails last night when he derisively tweeted about ESPN’s Maria Taylor attire. He was fired today. “NFL sideline reporter or a host for the AVN annual awards presentation?” was the text of the offending tweet, and it […]
Noise addict Skip Bayless deserves utter silence for his legacy of bankrupt insight

September 11, 2020
Like a fifth grader who puts thumbtacks on his teacher’s chair, Skip Bayless is an attention hog without the decency or moral compass to do it right. Yesterday, on the show he co-hosts with Shannon Sharpe, Bayless claimed Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dan Prescott is incapable of leading the team because he went public with his […]
