Regarding WWSM 2009…  After sitting down in my virtual office, looking around for my backroom staff (of which I had none), asking to meet my team, which consisted of one goalie on loan and two youth players, I realized I had my work cut out for me to bring Merthyr success as a newly promoted [...]

 (You know this theme song…) Today we salute you, Mr. NCAA Football 11 Roster Creator! Mr. How Do You Type on a Gamepad?! You sit in your mom’s basement, for days straight after the game is released, and type in nearly 10,000 names – for free. No time for a job! Tens of thousands of [...]

Welcome to the first post of my new Monday / Friday posting format!  So far, so good, except for the fact that I tried to post this last night for two hours, but the darn WordPress kept timing out, LOL!  Regardless, I wrote it on Monday, but couldn’t post it until now.  Hopefully, Friday will [...]

I haven’t been posting much this year, and that trend will worsen here in the next month.  We’re off for two weeks, then come back for a week, and then we’re gone again for a week after the 4th of July.  It’s a much needed break. For now, I leave you with this parting thought…  [...]

…your favorite baseball team’s not headed for pennant glory when you wonder how they’re going to replace the injured Asdrubal Cabrera. Actually, this year’s version of the Tribe is starting to grow on me.  I like their young arms – Carmona, Masterson, Huff, and Talbot, and number one starter Westbrook is a proven commodity that [...]

Don’t get me wrong; I like LeBron James.  He’s a fabulous athlete, a highly skilled basketball player, and seemingly a good guy (doesn’t get in trouble off the court).  He’s funny – I like his commercials and I liked his stint on SNL.  He’s proud to say he’s from Akron (my college town), and he’s [...]

New Year’s Resolutions, and all that – I’m back exercising again.  Specifically, I’m lifting weights 3 times per week, with a day or two of cardio mixed in.  I also need to improve my eating habits, since the holidays are over and I’m out of excuses!  I know, I know, you’ve heard this all before.  [...]

I felt that with the Buckeyes’ dearth of depth on its men’s basketball team, they’d be living on the razor’s edge every game in terms of being able to compete for 40 minutes with the better teams in their conference and around the country.  When Evan Turner went down, who is the best Buckeye basketball [...]

First of all, my parents came down and took the kids for the weekend.  Freedom!  It was nice to have it a little calmer around here for a couple of days, and to spend some quality time together with my wife, but truth be told, I missed having the kids around.  They’re back now, so [...]

Forgive my language, but I find what happened in this video despicable… There is absolutely no place in sports for this act.  It’s intentional, it’s reprehensible, and it’s just about downright criminal.  I remember when Robert Reynolds of Ohio State choked Wisconsin’s QB.  Even though I’m just a fan of the team, I felt shame [...]
