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?
March 17, 2024
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…

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…
A pretty, pretty, pretty good Super Bowl LVIII we hope
February 4, 2024
I’m not sure what has me more upset, having the Super Bowl in the middle of February or this being the last season of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
Both things have me a bit apoplectic.
However, it got me thinking. What a fun way to…
One month to Madness
January 28, 2024
I need a do over.
My preseason Final Four picks range anywhere from eh to hell no.
My championship pick was Arkansas, who is currently looking like a team that could pack it in for the remainder of the season. The Razorbacks are 10-10…
Status quo won’t cut it
January 21, 2024
After walking out on the media a few days earlier, Mike Tomlin stepped to the podium with a smile on his face.
Tomlin acknowledged handling the question about his contract status poorly before announcing to the throng of reporters he would be…
