… for “One Shining Moment,” CBS Sports’ annual tribute to college basketball’s March Madness. The drama. Energy. Emotion. Great job again last night. And that Luther Vandross sure can sing. (Will we ever hear him sing live again? Where is he in his recovery?) As for the game, congratulations, North Carolina, on a classic victory, [...]
Their Sox are Red with blood
Monday, April 4th, 2005(And it’s not Curt Schilling’s!) On opening day of the 2005 baseball season, the Yanks reminded Boston why they lead the championship race 26-1 since 1918. “Let’s go, Yankees.”
"Say it
Friday, March 18th, 2005That mythic phrase directed at disgraced baseball legend “Shoeless” Joe Jackson nearly a century ago resounded loudly once again throughout the halls of Congress yesterday. Contemporary baseball hero, the “Bunyanesque” Mark McGwire, was exposed as a coward as he refused to own up to his past during Congressional hearings on the sordid steroid scandel. As [...]
Where’s the Beef?
Thursday, March 10th, 2005Classic images endure. They’re timeless and unforgettable, like the confrontational Wendy’s woman from the 1980s who shouted at fast food clerks: “Where’s the beef?!” Sometimes I feel like that little old lady. Leaving aside the obvious physical differences (such as me being 40 or so years younger, 6’2″, 225, and male), I often feel like [...]
Tiger envy
Monday, March 7th, 2005After a 26-week hiatus, Tiger Woods is back on top (of his game and the PGA rankings). Yesterday he overcame a two stroke deficit on the tournament’s final day, beating arguably the hottest player on the tour and establishing a course record along the way. And he did it in vintage Tiger style, with an [...]
Surprise, Surprise – Bonds Blames Media
Wednesday, February 23rd, 2005Barry Bonds joined the chorus of the unrepentant when he blamed everyone but himself for the firestorm of steroid controversy that threatens to overshadow his baseball legacy.
Giambi accepts responsibility … for what?
Thursday, February 10th, 2005At a press conference today peppered with vague apologies and “I’m sorry” statements, Jason Giambi claimed to take full responsibility for what exactly? I for one can’t figure out what he was saying. He apologized for “distractions,” for “letting down” alot of people (including my then 2-year-old son, who wore a Giambi Yankee uniform one [...]
Message or messenger — which is more distressing?
Monday, February 7th, 2005Disgraced baseball slugger Jose Canseco is about to turn a quick buck trying to bring down other Major League disgraces. A serial controversy, Canseco made trouble everywhere he went throughout his long career. He continues in retirement by publishing a book naming names of other accused steroid cheaters. On the one hand, cheaters need to [...]
Ho Hum Holiday
Sunday, February 6th, 2005The high holy day of American sport is over. Could there have been a less desirable match-up for a New York football fan than the Eagles (a Giants rival) and the Patriots (a Jets Rival)? As someone who roots for the Jets except for when they play the Giants, I had to begrudgingly root for [...]
This is Old News, But I Blame Kruse
Monday, January 10th, 2005Had I had a blog in October, I would have written then about the little known man most singularly responsible for reversing the Curse of the Bambino and lifting the Red Sox out of their 86-year misery: Matthew Kruse. With the Sox down 0-3 in the ALCS to the Yankees, Matt preached “The Red Sox [...]
