Joe Maddon will be replaced as manager by the Chicago Cubs for the 2020 season. Many Cubs fans not happy about that. They feel a leader who found a way to lead the Cubs to their first world championship in 108 years should be able to leave on his own terms and schedule. Their gratitude is […]
When Vontaze Burfict lowered his helmet to hit kneeling Colts tight end Jack Doyle in the head, flags flew. Referees conferred and Burfict was ejected from the game. This morning it is being reported that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell will suspend Burfict for the rest of the 2019 season. The NFL has been dragged kicking and […]
Colts coach Frank Reich had a choice. Behind by seven with 1:10 left, should he try the onside kick or pound it deep?

The 2019 Chicago Cubs are playing da baseball because neither fun nor mental describe their efforts through 156 games. Six games remain and the Cubs still have a slim chance of playing in the postseason, but aren’t optimistic after watching them lose their last five games by a single run. Just three years ago the Cubs won their […]
Youth basketball is not broken. It’s alive, well and thriving. Team USA finished seventh in the World Cup earlier this month, and coaches and fans point to youth basketball as one of the primary reasons for that failure. Oh sure, the point of kids playing basketball is to win championships. Tens of thousands of boys […]
I love justice. The moments when justice happens seem few and far between, but that only makes them more enjoyable. When former basketball coach Rick Pitino sued the University of Louisville for more than $35-million in a wrongful termination lawsuit, I feared U of L might be forced to pay something to their ex-coach whose […]
If you were alive on September 11, 2001, you remember where you were the moment you heard the first plane that hit the North Tower of the World Trade Center was a passenger jet. Before you heard that, you assumed the plane crash involved a small private plane because no one had ever heard of a […]
