The 2022 Masters is here. But this is more than just a golf tournament. It is the single most treasured four rounds of golf and sought after trophy that is played by the world’s greatest golfers. But prior to the start of the Masters, we need need to look at why this is an event that captivates the entire world of sports. It doesn’t start until the ceremonial tee shots [...]
As winter takes its curtain call on the East Coast, that can only mean one thing…..its time for the Masters! The most prestigious golf tournament in the world is less than 2 weeks away. And the story we didn’t expect to be talking about is whether Tiger Woods will be in the field. But I guess we shouldn’t be surprised. Besides Jack Nicklaus, Tiger is the most beloved player at [...]
Well, here we are again discussing the number one thing we always seem to discuss in sports…..money! And this time it is in baseball, and not football. Since the lockout has ended, the treasury which is major league baseball, has opened the vault to sign the big names which will bring a World Series title to their respective city. Scherzer, Bryant, Correa, Story, etc…… all got the big bucks (very [...]
I was hoping to not have to discuss the Aaron Rodgers situation for many more months until we approach the next NFL season. But this guy loves the limelight so much that he can’t get enough of…..himself! He strung everyone along for months stating that he was unhappy with the Packers upper management and would never play for Green Bay again. Really? Well he ended his holdout by agreeing to [...]
I know it is a tad early, but one of the premier sporting spectacules of the year is just around the corner. March Madness!!!! College basketball kind of gets lost in the shuffle of the NFL playoffs, the mid-way point of the NBA season and of course the “pending” start of the Major League baseball season. But that is temporarily on hold while the lockout continues. So college basketball prepares [...]
One thing I’ve noticed over the course of my life, is that sports figures who somehow fade from the front pages always try and circle back and say stupid things to get them back in the news limelight. Example front and center is Phil Mickleson. Instead of just playing the game of professional golf, which he was very good at, he has to come out and make controversial comments on [...]
James Harden thought he could hold the Houston Rockets hostage by sitting out and abandoning his teammates until he was traded to a team that could finally get him an NBA Championship. And he won the standoff with Houston and was dealt to the one team he believed could get him the ring, The Brooklyn Nets. Well, how did that work out for you Mr. Harden? You thought you could [...]
Joe Burrow is about to step onto the biggest stage in sports as his Cincinnati Bengals team takes on the LA Rams in Super Bowl LVI this Sunday 2-13-22. You would think this would make the young man a bit nervous. But not this kid! He seems very confident in his ability to validate why he was the overall number one pick in the draft 2 years ago. But one [...]
Wow, what a week in the NFL!!! We have the Super Bowl contestants finalized, Tom Brady retires and Brian Flores files a discrimination lawsuit against the Giants, Dolphins, Broncos and the league in general. Since we have the Brady farewell tour well underway and to be on-going indefinitley, and the Super Bowl less than 2 weeks away, its more important to address the bombshell dropped by Coach Flores. Because this [...]
Now that I got my first column out of the way, it would only be appropriate to follow it up with a second one. As was mentioned last week, I have an opinion on pretty much everything, but let’s focus on one topic a week. Of course that’s not a steadfast rule, but let’s take a shot….. Big topic of discussion came to an expected conclusion last night when Major [...]
