Let’s be very clear.  There is NEVER a justification or an excuse for sexual assault on either a woman or a man.  There is likewise NEVER a justification for domestic violence.  You sexually assault or hit a woman, you’ve not only broken the law, you’ve forfeited any right to play college sports. Let’s also be […]

There is nothing more worthless than Spring Football at the College Football Level.  I understand the concept that it’s 15 practices for teams to work on refining old skills and developing new ones.  But, I don’t understand Spring Football games.  They are completely worthless.  Most of the time they aren’t even games, but they are […]

If you love sports and watch sports, sometimes it’s easy to forget that it’s just a game.  In the big picture of life it doesn’t really matter.  It just seems like it does.  Losing a game sucks and I’ve lost plenty.  There’s no question about that, but if losing a game is all you ever […]

As much temptation as  there is for me to say that the sports season is over after the NCAA Basketball Tournament and for the most part it is because I’m not big into NASCAR and don’t really watch the NBA Playoffs on a consistent basis, but the month of May is bookended by two of […]

There are certain seasons in the sports world: Football Season, Basketball Season and Baseball Season as examples, although with the specialization that younger athletes now undertake earlier in life their respective sports seasons never really stop.

In 1969, there were a couple of large events that changed the world forever.  The most important was the landing of a man on the moon and returning him safely to the earth fulfilling President Kennedy’s command of a nearly a decade earlier.  I always said the year I turned 38 that it was going […]

With the first weekend in April here, you can feel it in the air.  The Azaleas are in bloom, and the distinctive music is playing and hailing the call to the one golf tournament that every player wants to win…yes, it’s the Masters. I’m going to tell you that I’m not much of a golf fan. […]

Championship night in College Basketball from 1996 stands as a historic place in the history of the sport.  On that night, Kentucky defeated Syracuse to give Coach Rick Pitino his first National Championship as a head coach (he’d win one with Louisville in 2013) and Kentucky, one of College Basketball’s bluebloods it’s first championship since 1978.
