My Five Minutes

I went to the funeral of my old Little League baseball coach a couple of weeks ago. He coached youth baseball for 15 years ending about twenty years ago. He and my father grew up together and were very good friends, played baseball growing up and were in the Army. So we went together. I expected to... Sign in to see full entry.

At least for one night. If you are one of those who are sick and tired of the recent success of Boston area teams, this blog is for you. I am partly in this group in that I don't mind the Patriots, but am not a fan of the Sawx or Celtics. Anyhow, the local five known as the Washington Wizards beat... Sign in to see full entry.

Here's what I hope to see in this years NFL playoffs: I hope the Redskins and Jaguars get eliminated sooner rather than later. I'm tired of hearing how "hot" they are and 'Skins fans around here are driving me nuts with their shoulda, woulda, couldas. I hope Giants coach Tom Coughlin has an... Sign in to see full entry.

This Thursday, the Green Bay Packers will go to Dallas to play the Cowboys in the third most anticipated game of the 2007 season and most of America will not be able to sit in the comfort of their living rooms and watch it. The game will not be on network television or even ESPN. No, the NFL wants... Sign in to see full entry.

Hey, Beantown. You're loving life right now, aren't you? What with the Sawx about to win another World Series and the Patriots looking stronger than ever, things couldn't be better. Hell, even the Celtics are relavent again after trading for Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen. On top of that, Boston... Sign in to see full entry.

LSU joins the ranks of the once beatens falling to Kentucky at Lexington in triple OT. I caught the last quarter and the overtimes after officiating a wonderful high school game between DeMatha and Gonzaga won by DeMatha 7-6. So we will have a new number one for the third week in a row. And lurking... Sign in to see full entry.
