13 Straight: Blessing or Fools Gold? The red-hot Knicks have won 13 straight behind some amazing scoring performances by Carmelo Anthony. They have stepped up their defensive intensity by allowing just 93 points per game in their last ten games. The Knicks are shooting the 3-ball at an exceptionally high clip which can be a good thing or a bad thing. The positives, first and foremost are that the [...]
Face it Yankee fans, if this guy misses Opening Day on 4-1-13, he must not be recovering from that bad break he suffered in the post season. This isn’t a guy who will settle to be a mediocre ballplayer. He has a Hall of Fame work ethic and will settle for nothing less. I hope I am wrong, but the way he has been hobbling around, it doesn’t look good. [...]
It’s safe to say the most talked about college athlete of the year 2013 has been Notre Dame LB Manti Te’o. He was already being roasted in the media after his poor performance in the BCS title game, which ended in a brutal Notre Dame loss. A week following the game, the Irish leading tackler became the world’s new punching bag. Deadspin.com reported that the well-documented death of [...]
Was there any doubt who was going to win last night? Difficult for any of us to know for sure how a man who has been gone almost 150 years handled a situation like the issue of slavery and a Civil War, but I’m guessing this was as close as it gets with him playing Lincoln. This guy is a pro and could potentially, if not already, be considered the [...]
The NFL recently elected a new class to the Hall of Fame. Warren Sapp was elected to the HoF! Yes, you read this right. The same Hall that has Roger Staubach, Merlin Olsen, Dick Butkus, Johnny U, Reggie White, Jack Butler (pictured)etc. These are guys that played every week for years and were great while they were doing it! How many “great years” did this guy have? Certainly not enough [...]
See Argo. A “Monaghan and Ebert” 2 thumbs up. Look for this to win the Oscar for Best Picture. DDL will win for Best Actor.
The NBA All-Star break is upon us and the New York Knicks are in 2nd place in the Eastern Conference, just 3.5 games behind the great Miami Heat. However, things are not going well for the Knicks at the moment. Their superstar scorer Carmelo Anthony has been slowed down of late and has injured his hand. Amare Stoudemire, the $100 million man, has cooled off after a fast start to [...]
Happy President’s Day. Thank you Mr. Washington and Mr. Lincoln. The man who built the nation and the man who saved it.
Okay……I’ve been debating whether to write this “column” or not. But I was so enraged by the documentary I saw on HBO called Mea Maxima Culpa, that I needed to write about it. The most powerful and yet disturbing television program I have seen….ever. If you haven’t seen it yet, I must warn you that it is so un-nerving that if you didn’t see it, you wouldn’t believe it. Period. It [...]
The New “Penny-Pinching” Yankees? Any fan of the New York Yankees knows that their number one goal at the start of any season is to win another World Series title, and anything less is considered a complete failure. The Yankees were unceremoniously swept from the playoffs by the AL champion Detroit Tigers. The Yankees could not situationally hit in the postseason at all and looked especially old. After a crushing [...]
