In case you missed it in all the excitement of the NFL draft, I had another piece up at Sports Central. A week or so ago I wrote about the top ten AFC games I was looking forward to in 2006. Saturday I outlined the NFC games. Here is the list: 1) Sunday, September 10: [...]
Greg Easterbrook’s Tuesday Morning Quarterback column is back on ESPN. Today’s column includes a true mock draft. I got a chuckle out of this one: 7. Oakland Raiders: Lucifer, frozen devil, University of Gehenna To prevent a strike that might have torn pro football apart, Raiders boss Al Davis cooperated with the league, putting his [...]
- Duke just messed up my bracket big time! I had the Dukies in the final. I should have know better than to pick a team I hate to go that far At this point I have to hope UConn, UCLA, and Florida all make the Final Four to have any hope of a respectable [...]
Those odd one or two of you who have actually been reading this blog for some time might remember that I had ankle surgery last April to repair a torn tendon. Well, I have finally started playing indoor soccer again and today scored my first goal of the season. That’s right, the old man still [...]
Sorry about the down time around here. I got sidetracked and just didn’t get anything posted.

After shooting a opening round 65 Tiger followed up with 73-72. He is tied [...]
This isn’t the National Championship I was looking for, but I’ll take it.
I am more interested in the Bay Hill Invitational golf tournament than the NCAA Basketball Tournament. For golf fans Bay Hill has the potential to create some great drama. After all Arnie’s tourney will feature some of the biggest names in golf: Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, Ernie Els, Retief Goosen, and Sergio Garcia to name [...]
My ankle is feeling better. It appears I sustained a high ankle sprain. Looks like I will miss a week of soccer at least. What about the real athletes? Here are some notes on this Saturday of sports: – Tiger Woods is looking to remind people that he still has the skills to compete even [...]
Well, we all saw it coming but maybe not in such an ugly way. The BCS has self-destructed. How a unanimous #1 in both polls can be out of the National Championship game and a team that didn’t even win its conference is in, is beyond me. Plus FSU-Miami again? Maisel’s right, that’s embarressing. Sad, [...]
