Relax, 12 teams get in
If you are a fanatic of a particular team, like I am with USC, you will need to adjust your frustration meter this year. Twelve teams will make the playoffs this year, so one loss is not the end of the world.
USC lost a heartbreaker in Ann Arbor to the…
Can Unconventional Win?
Unconventional.
In the NFL that could describe a team in 2024 that tries to win with a defense first mentality.
The Steelers continue to attempt winning in this unconventional manner.
Pittsburgh has always prided itself on its “Steel Curtain” defense…
Hot takes after week one? Why not?

Pirates prove a point
The Pittsburgh Pirates proved my point this past week.

For a fanatic, sports never takes a vacation
For the fourteenth summer in a row, my son and I headed to the Jersey Shore for our vacation. We have a blast every year as we spend a couple days at Ocean City, then the rest of the week in Wildwood with a day trip to Cape May mixed in.
