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 →

Clemson…Where nobody gets fired: Follow-up

After a weekend of Clemson athletics we learned that maybe the soccer team is coming around and maybe the football team won’t. Where Credit’s Deserved First year men’s soccer coach Mike Noonan coached Clemson to a draw with #11 Boston College. It felt like a loss because Clemson scored early and BC scored the equalizer somewhat … Continue reading →

Tampa Bay Doesn’t Deserve a Good Baseball Team

Following the Tampa Bay Rays’ 4-0 loss at home to the Baltimore Orioles – a game where the Rays could have clinched a playoff spot (UPDATE – The Rays clinched a playoff spot tonight, 9/28, with a 5-0 win over Baltimore) – Evan Longoria expressed what he justifiably feels.

I’m also very interested in what Tommy thinks. I know he loves emotional music, but does bland sell-out type noise constitute music if it invokes emotion in … Continue reading →

Album Review: Rooney – “Eureka”

Crazy intense hard rock band, Disturbed, is not the typical type of band I’d like, but man they are talented. Their guitar work is impressive.  I am looking forward to listening to the rest of their new album, Asylum. So far I’ve listened to the title track, “Asylum” (with the instrumental intro they call “Remnants”) … Continue reading →

Album Review: Disturbed – “Asylum”

On August 31, edgy hard rock/metal band Disturbed released their fifth studio album, Asylum. Disturbed’s identifying qualities are again evident on this album; in fact, they showcase their abilities with good variation, making this one of their more mature releases. Some of the songs have that typical, rough sound with guitarist Dan Donegan’s chunky riffs, … Continue reading →

Watch it Over Again

Sports fans love to complain when there’s a blown call. Choruses of boos routinely come from the bleachers, targeted right at the poor referees who 99 times out of 100 are doing their best and deserve the benefit of the doubt. Instead of complaining why don’t we fix the problem? Football, being less of a … Continue reading →
