Is every win a good win?
In a 162-game regular season every win matters especially when a single game may be all that prevents a team from making the postseason. However, fans and the media can differ as to how they win the close ones may come back to bite the team in long run. A co-worker of mine doesn’t believe…

The intersection between Wicked and sports
While I’m neither a thirteen-year-old girl, nor do I have one in my life, I’m smart enough to update or contemporize my analogies. For me villains are Iago, Richard III, Thane of Cawdor and Delores, the witch that lured Hentzel and Gretel. I do get that Wicked is filled with witches both good and bad…

Word choice
It’s becoming more difficult to sort out the college hoops world with NIL and transfer portals. I’m having a hell of a time figuring out the names of my alma mater and their respective games. I know every move to a new conference is done as a money grab and that not every school will…

The threat of a lie detector test
Anytime we question how someone really feels, we suggest employing a lie detector even though most of us don’t have access to one. Spouses under threat of major arguments will often fudge a little to keep the peace or use specifically vague terms. Front offices of professional sports teams will blatantly lie when discussing plans…

What I learned at lunch
For as passionate I am about baseball and college hoops (to a lesser degree) I don’t really spend any time watching sports talk or sports yell on TV. So on that rare occasion that I find myself out for lunch during the week, I’m stuck with multiple TV’s, and luckily today all were set to…

The Carlos award winner
I haven’t heard any media types pretending they predicted that Josh Naylor would be the first Major League ballplayer to sign a free agent deal this offseason. It seems like Carlos Santana repeatedly jumped the gun the past few years and signed before anyone finished prepping their Thanksgiving turkey. Because the Mariners haven’t confirmed the…

Unsung heroes of the game
Unlike the NFL, MLB and the minors have clearer delineations of the offseason, even if the general public doesn’t pay attention. Earlier this week, the GM meetings in Las Vegas were completed and if you don’t live in a ML city, the news likely didn’t register. Even if you aren’t a passionate fan of the…

Laugh with me
Even though MLB is holding their GM meetings in Las Vegas right now most sports fans are more worried about which mediocre third-string QB will be steering his NFL team into oblivion instead of worrying about ML rosters. I just read a story that cited 20 Reds minor leaguers who announced their free agency, that’s…

What did I miss?
Because I had to work last night and because I don’t live or die with either the Packers or Eagles, I missed the 10-7 game. I’m sure the NFL will sell it as a great game despite 3 total points through 3 quarters. Maybe this will slow the roll on the great Packers and Jordan…

I’m only human, what’s their excuse?
I’m not going to name specific names because I don’t want to have to attach “alleged” to every idiot that’s thrown their careers down a toilet, nor do I want to have to cite everyone involved. There are far too many jerks spoiling professional sports for most of us. I’m talking about the betting, cheating,…
I'd rather be sitting in a ballpark.
