My Five Minutes

The Boston Celtics beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA Finals for three easy reasons.: 1. Three all-stars are better than one. 2. The more scoring options you have, the better your chance of winning. 3. They have better athletes. Let me explain: 1. I don't care how good Kobe Bryant is, he can't... Sign in to see full entry.

Mike Piazza retired last week. There was no press conference. No farewell tour. Just a simple note saying that he was done. Simply stated much like the man. Piazza retires as the all time leader in home runs by a catcher. He hit for average and drove in runs as well. He wasn't the greatest catcher... Sign in to see full entry.

...but you can request to be traded and have that request granted before being reinstated. At least that 's what the NFL allowed Adam "Pacman" Jones, formerly of the Tennessee Titans, to do. Now, Jones is a pending member of the Dallas Cowboys contingent on his reinstatement by commssioner Roger... Sign in to see full entry.

I like day baseball. Especially weekday afternoon games. But living just outside of Washington D.C. and being a fan of the Washington Nationals, I can forget it this year. You see, the city built a new stadium in southeast, just down the street from Capital Hill. It has no parking and very few... Sign in to see full entry.

So Kansas won the worst NCAA tournament of all time. Out of 65 games, maybe eight of them were close. Not exactly what CBS paid for. But back to Kansas. They were the best team.

"He retired," I said. His mother, who is my neice said, "Yeah. Trey cried when he watched it on T.V." I asked him... Sign in to see full entry.

ESPN did a piece on Sportscenter on Sunday night that I could not believe. And it looks like they got away with it. The piece was about football players in Florida who chase rabbits to work on their quickness. Considering that most if not all of the players were black was bad, because it hit on one...

Green Bay Packer QB Brett Favre finally retired today. I am glad that he did it, because he went out after having one last hurrah in taking the Pack to the NFC Championship game. I think the Packers wanted to move on too, whether they will admit it or not. Favre was a great quarterback no doubt. But... Sign in to see full entry.

I apologize. If I did anything wrong in writing these blogs, I am sorry. I did not mean to hurt anyone. I know that I made some mistakes and will have to live with them. My advice to the kids out there is to never do what I did. You don't need short cuts to become a blogger. Do it the legal way.... Sign in to see full entry.

No not the 1972 Miami Dolphins, though the NFL would want you to believe that. The league doesn't like to recognize records and accomplishments by teams in other leagues even if that team joined the NFL later and kicked everyone's butt. The first pro football team to finish a season undefeated and... Sign in to see full entry.
