Kobe, Derek, Pau, and the rest of the back-to-back champion Los Angeles Lakers visited Atlanta last week (3/8/11) and dismantled the Hawks. It was their 8th straight win and in my mind cemented their return to dominant play. It was also the only time Atlanta’s apparent favorite team (Laker fans easily out numbered and out … Continue reading

A Blog That Everyone Yankee Fan Should Be Reading
I started following @LennysYankees on Twitter and eventually started reading his blog. Now it’s one of only two blogs I follow regularly (The other being Defining INSIGHTS). LenNY’s Yankees is written by Lenny Neslin, a Journalism student at Quinnipiac University in New York, and more importantly an avid Yankees fan. A while back he allowed … Continue reading
Super Bowl XLV Prediction
Granted, since I’m a Packers fan, I have to go with my team here. Oops, was that a spoiler? Oh well…read this anyway. Of course Darrelle Revis picked the Steelers to win. They beat his Jets, so he wants to be able to say his team lost to the eventual champs. Cool guy or not, … Continue reading
Revis Island – Population One…a Gordon is Grumbling Follow-up
A couple months ago one of our guest bloggers–Mark Gordon–wrote an article about Darrelle Revis’s selfishness during his contract dispute with the Jets. I strongly agreed with his assessment that a contract is a pact, an agreement, and a statement of honor that the player is obligated to fulfill. What prompted me to write this … Continue reading
Just Let Me Stop Caring
Clemson hasn’t won a championship since I was two years old. I finished my last semester of class at Clemson and got an awesome internship at Definition 6, a unified marketing agency in Atlanta. So after Clemson’s 6-7 season and after watching them lose to South Carolina and South Florida to close the season, how … Continue reading
Annoyed at the World
Tommy has been in his corner playing his guitar, getting a 700 on the GMAT, and not writing anything for the blog so I figured I’d write a little blurb before I head off to Charlotte for the Meineke Car “Who Cares?” Bowl. First of all, wasn’t 32 bowl games enough? We have 35 bowl … Continue reading
Note to MLB GMs: The Little Moves Matter
The Yankees just spent $51 million on Derek Jeter. Yankee fans seem pretty happy that our Captain is back and a PR disaster was averted. I’m fairly pleased myself…I guess. The Yankees are now trying to sign Cliff Lee whose contract is expected to be in the $150-175 million range. What bothers me is we … Continue reading
Jeter the Villian?
Rumors run amuck, but from what I’ve sorted out, the Yankees have offered Derek Jeter a three-year $45 million contract. For the record, Derek Jeter is 36 years old and coming off a .270, 10HR season. Derek Jeter and co. have reportedly countered with six years, $150 million. That’s $25 million per year for six … Continue reading
Venting On Clemson
Clemson Athletic Director Terry Don Phillips’s emotional, passionate, cool, trendy, thoughtless, easy, and wrong hire of Dabo Swinney is looking worse and worse as Dabo once again led Clemson into a road environment and left winless. Alumni Stadium in Boston was quiet and half empty just like Clemson’s offense. Props to Kevin Steele though whose … Continue reading
I am so tired of the NYY payroll discussion
Granted, the fact that I’m a Yankees fan certainly influences this feeling, but let’s think about this reasonably. People are always talking about how much money the Yankees spend, and complaining about it. First of all, they don’t break any rules and they have resources that they choose to use (how dare they?!). They are … Continue reading
