    NFL 2023-2024 Season

    Oh, I agree. That’s exactly what I said to my brother-in-law last night. Coaching aggressively is really what got them to where they’re at. Unfortunately, it backfired last night on the biggest stage. Just having a little fun at Riverboat Dan’s expense. [emoji57] I think the Lions future is...

    NFL 2023-2024 Season

    My favorite day of the year is here- Championship Sunday!! The weather has sucked here, so I’m looking forward to locking myself in for 7 hours of hopefully memorable football. AFCCG- this used to be the Patriots Invitational and now it’s the Chiefs Invitational. Rain is forecast throughout...

    MLB 2023 Season

    I know it’s happened in the past, but I think it’s an absolute joke that MLB doesn’t have a full slate on the major summer holidays (Memorial Day, 4th of July and Labor Day). Those days should be the bread and butter for ML teams. When I was a kid, the first thing I looked at was who and where...

    NCAA March Madness 2023

    Awesome…congratulations!! I’ve been following them for weeks now (since the Mountain West tournament) and pegged them to be a dark horse in the tournament. When sports gambling became legal in Massachusetts, I signed up to one of those gambling apps. They had a promotion if you deposited at...

    NCAA March Madness 2023

    Great observation! I was saying the same exact thing to my brother-in-law the other day. Every year when I do my brackets, I always look first at the four 5-12 first round games for possible upsets.

    MLB 2023 Season

    The good news- Opening Day will be sunny at Fenway Park tomorrow The bad news- the high temp will be 42* with a wind chill in the high 20’s/low 30’s. Ironically, it was 52* on January 2nd when the Bruins played the Penguins at Fenway in the NHL Winter Classic. The FUGLY news- the Red Sox...

    NCAA March Madness 2023

    There’s no question that the Aztecs are challenged offensively, but that defense can ball with the best of them. The winner of the San Diego St.- Florida Atlantic game will be playing for the National Championship a week from tomorrow night. Who’da thunk it??!! Sent from my iPad using...

    NCAA March Madness 2023

    My bracket was shot by Saturday, and now my National Champ Marquette is eliminated. Watch out for my dark horse the rest of the way- the San Diego St. Aztecs [emoji106]

    MLB 2023 Season

    RIP to Tim McCarver. He played in four different decades and caught legendary pitchers Bob Gibson, Juan Marichal, Steve Carlton and Luis Tiant. But he was definitely more widely known for being the October voice of baseball for several years. As a broadcaster he was a polarizing figure, but one...

    I agree that it would never get passed, but the fact that the Manfred Man even considered it (at least reportedly) is enough to prove his incompetence. That said, I started to wonder what a hypothetical such scenario would look like. Eastern Conference Atlantic Division Boston NY Yankees NY...

    MLB 2023 Season

    There was a report out yesterday that the Manfred Man is looking into eliminating the American and National Leagues. He’s exploring the possibility of having an Eastern and Western Conference format. So for example, the Yankees, Mets, Red Sox and Phillies would all be playing in the same league...
