Most wanted?
Sometime earlier this week, the world came to an end at least the NFL as we know it today. Folks in the national media speculated that Travis Kelce played his last NFL game in Kansas City. Aside from being engaged to Taylor Swift, we’ve been led to believe that this should matter to most of…

Pick your poison
I don’t know which is more disheartening, the look on the face of a 7-year-old boy who has just learned that Santa doesn’t exist or the face of a Greek restaurant owner who was forced to seat a party of two (my sister and me) in a booth that comfortably seats 6 and uncomfortably seats…

If a tree falls in Sacramento…
It’s amazing how one simple ML trade can get me onto six or seven tangents, not all of which will interest the average fan. I’m not an Athletics closet fan, nor I do I think they will compete for the AL West this season which isn’t to say that I’m not intrigued by some of…

Nothing to see here
While the Bears were getting ready to beat the Packers in surprising/spectacular fashion, their president, Kevin Warren did the unthinkable. He wrote a letter to Bears fans explaining (sort of) how the team was now looking at Northwest Indiana as a possible landing spot. Nobody thought the timing was especially good. Thankfully, the players and…

Sure things and baseball prospects
The other day the Orioles made a massive trade with the Rays for right-handed pitcher, Shane Baz. It’s okay if you don’t recognize the name and not just because he’s only toiled for Tampa as a major leaguer. Regardless of the metrics you use, he’s underperformed relative to his early prospect status. Originally this post…

Way under the radar
I’m not sure which item resonates less with sports fans that the Knicks won some mini-midseason tourney in Las Vegas or that Munetaka Murakami’s posting (with MLB) window is set to close next Monday. Does the Knicks’ victory negate the OKC Thunder championship from last season? As for the Japanese power hitter, Murakami, I’m unaware…

Cheaper by the dozen?
Without referencing the former ML pitching coach of the same name, isn’t Less supposed to be More (Les Moss)? Don’t hate me for tuning into the FOX pregame show for 2.7 minutes, but the six-man panel struck me as too much-even if Tom Brady and Gronk anchored the line. All of these pregame shows are…

Of well diggers and gift horses…
Once upon a time, I would weather almost any storm to attend a baseball game. At some point I reached the age of reason and factored comfort and the ability to keep score into the equation and cut back on the number of inclement games I’d attend. Even though I don’t keep a scorecard at…

Big news, not really, but good news
Supposedly, the Cubs just inked lefty reliever, Hoby Milner to a one-year deal. Hopefully, they’ll find a legit closer to fill out the pen, but I think this is a positive move because Craig Counsell has a relationship with the 35-year-old. He was at his most productive with the Brewers. Counsell knows how to use…

Is good news for White Sox, good news for their fans?
Due to anti-tanking rules and a little bit of luck, the White Sox landed the #1overall pick in the 2026 MLB draft and unless you’re a fatalist, it’s a good thing for the Sox. While I’m not excited about the specifics of the pick, I’m glad that some people will eventually be taking the draft…
I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.
