We all want to see the fairytale ending to a storied career of a class act like Peyton Manning. But the fact that they are overmatched and will lose to a better team in Super Bowl 50 will not diminish Peyton’s legacy in the least. He has been as good as anyone who has ever played QB in this league. The fact he even came back from a potentially dangerous [...]
As we remember the end of WWII 70 years ago, it is only fitting that we remember those who fought, those who died and those who fight for our liberties today. Although it is impossible not to think every day of the great sacrifices our current soldiers and heroes of days past have made, take a minute to reflect and thank a Veteran today. We are here because of what they did. [...]
Kansas City heads to New York to take on the Mets. No, not the Yankees, like for so many meaningful October games in days past, but the Mets for the World Series title. It’s been a long time for both teams, but the Royals are just a better team. And they made it to within one game last year of the title, so don’t expect them to leave this one [...]
Wow, what a great way to win a major championship! Jason Day fought off a determined Jordan Spieth to win his first (but not last) major in record-setting fashion. It was just as emotional for the fans who watched it as it was for Jason, who was overcome with tears before even making the last putt. You can’t help but be excited for this young man who is considered one of [...]
On this date in 1945, the biggest decision ever made by a U.S. President was made by Harry Truman to end the brutality of WWII. It was a necessary movement to prevent further loss of life throughout the world and finally bring peace back to civilization. Seems hard to believe that such destruction could be the beginning of the end, but it was. And it also set the stage for [...]
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand they’re off!!!!!!!!!!! The three words that will start the race in which American Pharoah will try and do what no other horse has done since 1978. Win the Triple Crown. Very exciting stuff. There is a reason no horse has won this crown in a very long time……it’s hard to do! Win three races in 5 weeks against the best horses in the world. With the third leg of [...]
Nothing like Game 7 in the Stanley Cup playoffs! Tonight the Rangers will stave off elimination (again) against Tampa Bay to earn their second straight trip to the Stanley Cup finals. It has been a great series as both teams have the firepower to score quickly. And the hard hitting just doesn’t stop. But this time it will come down to goaltending, with the experienced Lundquist coming up larger than the inexperienced [...]
Guaranteeing a win in Game 7 of a series you once lead three games to one is not a good idea Mr. Ovechkin. You are a great hockey player, but you are no Mark Messier when it comes to delivering on a guarantee. Next time, just let your skills do the talking for you. This is the kind of thing that tarnishes a great career. Now you will be remembered [...]
One hundred fifty years ago today, the President who led us through the darkest period in American history was taken down by an assassin’s bullet. This should have been the start of reconstructing the country torn apart by two separate beliefs. Instead it set back the healing by many years. It would be impossible to determine the actual effects of this tragedy, but in no way can it be considered [...]
What a remarkable performance by young Jordan Speith at Augusta. Wire to wire against one of the most competitive fields in recent memory. And he handled himself with class and dignity the entire time. This is just what the PGA needed as it looks for the next generation of young players to replace past champions like Woods, Els and other forty-something legends. We have alot to look forward to as Jordan [...]
