The ever changing world of baseball
April 14, 2024
Everyone from David Bowie to Taylor Swift has written about changes.
Baseball certainly has changed from when I started watching it in the 1970’s. Today’s game barely resembles the one I grew up with, proving not every change is for the better…
Madness leads to Masters
April 8, 2024
March Madness always provides those crazy moments we all love. Highly seeded teams often get derailed by a low seed, an upstart, a Cinderella. That’s what makes this event so entertaining. It is unpredictable to a fault.
Some years the best…
2024 Pittsburgh Pirates/MLB Preview
March 31, 2024
The Pittsburgh Pirates are 5-0 on the season, so this technically shouldn’t be considered a preview. But society and baseball can’t box me in. I am still calling this a season preview. Starting the season in March is nonsense anyway. However…

Sweet then Elite
March 25, 2024
It certainly was a crazy first four days of the NCAA Tournament.
We had an overtime buzzer beater. We had a double overtime war of attrition. We had a furious comeback late Sunday night to send a number one seed to overtime. But Cinderella…
How much bracket madness can we expect?

Do you want March Madness storylines?
You know you do.
Championship Week is the prelude to Madness, but it has plenty of Madness itself.
Let’s start with the near misses.
Brown University was a couple of missed free…
March memories
March 10, 2024
I have loved March Madness dating back to the days of a 32 team field.
As a fanatic, some of my memories are good and some are bad. Then there are the memories that have nothing to do with my fanaticism and everything to do with how great this…
At war with bracketologists?
March 3, 2024
Double double toil and trouble fire burn and cauldron bubble.
Man, Billy Shakespeare sure did have a way with words. I hear he had a pretty good mid range jump shot, too.
It is March. Championship week is less than a week away, and a…
Knockin’ at the door

Knock, knock.
Who’s there?
March.
March who?
(breaks door down)March Madness, baby.

Being a fanatic isn’t always easy
February 18, 2024
I love being a sports fanatic.
It is who I am. It is what I do. It has been my passion since I was 7 years old. I will never change.
See, there is never a point in the entire year when I don’t have a team to be following and cheering…
The best in the business…maybe ever
February 11, 2024
I admit it.
In early December, after the Bills beat the Chiefs in Kansas City, I said I didn’t think there was any way the Chiefs were going to the Super Bowl much less winning it.
The lesson to be learned is never to doubt the…
