EXCERPT: Good day all,
For those of you who watch golf, play golf, and enjoy golf i hope the open championship was as enjoyable to you as it was to me.  For the first time in some years we were treated to a televised event that actually showcased a number of players both professional and amateur instead of the same old Tiger coverage. 
Even better the former world reigning number one took center stage unexpectedly, at 53 years of age.  A Shark instead of a Tiger.   The...

EXCERPT: Sports fans in the Detroit metro area have been keeping very busy this spring.

Despite the conventional notion that Detroit is going through an economic crisis, over 80,000 people turned out to support the home teams. The notoriously rowdy fans...

EXCERPT: For the first time ever all four #1 seeds made it to the Final Four. For the first time ever the sandbaggers, like ESPN's Jay Bilas, got it right! I never thought the day would come where the Final Four was made of All Chalk and it wouldn't of happened if Stephen Curry, or his PG, dropped 1 more long-range-bomb on Kansas.
I'm still in the running to win my office pool with UCLA to beat UNC in the finals. I'm pretty confident it can happen for the same reasons I...

EXCERPT: The Masters Tournament is almost here and once again we'll all be watching to see if Tiger can get one win closer to Jack's amazing 6 victories.  Popularity in this sport has a lot to do with it's leaders.  No sport has had the champions like golf has which is why the sport has taken off like it has.  For those of you who have never played the game you are truly missing one the greatest games ever created.  For those that have played, it's easy...

EXCERPT: When people talk about Terry Bradshaw, what comes to mind is the NFL, The Pittsburgh Steelers, and the FOX Sports News Channel discussing football with the likes of Jimmie Johnson. Terry Bradshaw was born in Louisiana and graduated from Louisiana Tech. It was in 1970, that the history of Terry Bradshaw with the Pittsburgh Steelers began with his selection as a first round draft pick. Terry Bradshaw was able to lead the Pittsburgh Steelers to an impressive four titles in the Super Bowl...

EXCERPT: The Blue Devils were able to summon the basketball underlords yesterday to hold onto their respect and dignity. Belmont is now relegated to "what if" and "never was." It's too bad, they had it!!
After playing the game of their lives and being up 1 late, all the Lil Bruins needed to do was wind down the clock and get one more basket and victory was theirs. One one more bucket, just one!, to pull off the the most remarkable first round upset of all time, but they...
