I just cannot stand it anymore.   No one who knows my passion for sports would ever call me a fair weather fan, but Dale Earnhardt, Jr. has finally snapped my string. Dale also happens to be NASCAR’s most popular driver, by leaps and bounds.  It is not even fair for the other drivers.  I happen to own three 88 hats, an 88 shirt, and an 8 hockey jersey (from Budweiser...

Last Saturday night in the Mojave Desert tragedy struck an off road race. A truck did a flip and killed 8 people and injured 14 more. This massive tragedy hasn’t struck a chord like it should have. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t NASCAR or another major circuit. Maybe it’s because it wasn’t on TV with huge sponsors. Who knows what the reason...

It’s August and the weather is hot, muggy and just all around shitty. For myself, there isn’t much to look forward to in the dog days of summer via the video game.  All the good games came out in June and developers and video game producers don’t want to release to many good games in the summer. I mean kids are suppose to be outside playing during the...

Besides Augusta National and the famed Masters, only one other golf event captures my entire attention for a weekend: the Ryder Cup and it is only hosted every two years. Sure, I watch a lot of golf, but it is a give and take watch. You certainly will not catch me watching for 4 or 5 straight hours, unless one of the two aforementioned events is on. My wife went back to...

(Note: The writer has a personal vested interest in The Ohio State Buckeyes, as some consider the writer, a fanatical fan.) The idea of a Big Ten expansion appealed to me when it was first reported that the Big Ten was looking to add three teams to bring the Big Ten to the Big 14. Certainly, the addition of Notre Dame, Texas, and Nebraska would have been a huge boon to...

That’s right I said it. I mean I wouldn’t fight him in an ally or anything but he is obviously scared. This he said she said shit going on between Mayweather and Pacquiao is just ridiculous.  Boxing fans want to see this fight. The promoters want to make this fight. The only person who doesn’t want this fight is Pretty Boy Floyd. I can’t think...

Whether he signs with the Cav’s, goes with the Heat, or heads to the Big Apple it makes no difference, what is certain is that the way Lebron James handled this situation proves without a doubt that he is a 24 year old child. In everyone’s eyes (except for the city of the team he chooses) he will be a villain. He went from being a beloved NBA superstar to...

NBA free agency is the talk of the town right now in sports. I must admit I am not the biggest NBA fan in the entire world. I am more concerned with where these players land than ever actually watching them play next season. The pundits have their ideas on where each big name could land and what’s next after they sign, so on and so forth. What I am interested in...

The United States Soccer Team ignited a passion in people nation wide. They got robbed a couple of times by the referees which makes people want to root for them even more. You would think by all the Twitter and Facebook status updates that Soccer was the number one sport in this country. Well it isn’t. As a matter of fact our biggest soccer league is a joke across...

1:55pm – And we are LIVE!  US team MUST have a win today. Not a draw and certainly not a loss. Here is a small breakdown – US goes win-win. Certainly in quarters. US goes loss – loss. Out. Where it gets dicey is either a win-draw, win-loss, or draw-draw. A win-draw gives the US 5 points.  It also would make the difference if the draw came against Algeria or Slovenia. ...
