 Yes, I realize the last post was November 10th and it was an incoherent rant about Brett Favre. But honestly, who can be coherent when Favre is involved. I did spend some of the downtime taking in the Colts-Patriots and Celtics-Thunder games in Boston though. Below are some random thoughts from seeing both those games live. [...]   Exactly one year ago, I decided to start the Sports Opinionated blog over on Blogger.com. The goal was to give myself a creative outlet to express my many views on sports, whether misguided or fact-based. My goal when I started was to write 2-3 posts per week on anything that I was passionate about and to [...]  For those who don’t know about the Allan Cup, it’s been around since 1908. It was created to replace the Stanley Cup as the reward for the best amateur hockey team in Canada, when Lord Stanley’s mug had become a trophy for professional teams. There is a documentary coming out about the Bentley Generals, who have [...] For those who enjoy the affect of advanced statistics on the way we view hockey, I think you’ll find this both inspirational and extremely eye-opening. It provides a shockingly insightful peek into the best player in the world. Some of the findings may be difficult to comprehend at first, but they’re eye-opening to say the least. Every year I fill out a bracket, and every year I’m about 80% wrong. I absolutely love the tourney, but don’t watch any games leading up to it, so my knowledge is pitiful. It usually comes down to 2 good days of research and a few guesses. Here it is, just in case you want to [...] Last night I participated in my first podcast ever on Ultimate Football Talk. If you want to hear it, look for Ultimate Football Talk on iTunes or click this link. The podcast is hosted by another of our authors, Marty Borotsik and his regular co-host is Chris Monita. I got a chance to fill in for Monita [...]  When I first heard the rumor that the Atlanta Thrashers might be sold to a group from Toronto and Winnipeg, in the hopes of moving the debit-riddled thrashers from Hot-lanta to Winter-peg I thought, here we go again. Winnipegers have long talked about reclaiming an NHL team. Whenever Gary Betface mentions the Peg, it seems it [...] Some say Serena Williams is built like a horse. Powerful, quick and strong. Well in this year’s voting for the Associated Press’ Female Athlete of the Year, Serena almost lost to one. As the end of the calendar year approaches, the various year-end sporting awards are announced. One of the most useless and dim-witted sporting awards [...] I usually don’t pay much attention to award ceremony speeches. Unless Kanye West is around to declare Beyonce Knowles his choice for the award, award ceremony speeches tend to be quite lame and predictable. After the selection of the winner of the 2009 Heisman trophy as college football’s most outstanding player, I might be persuaded [...] I came across an interesting web poll the other day while researching what car to buy. I was looking at various vehicles and instead of going directly to the dealer, I went to the online forums. I figure to receive the best advice on how a vehicle runs and to get a true sense of [...] I used to wonder if I was the only sports fan on the planet that hated Tiger Woods. Well, besides Fuzzy Zoeller. After a crash test with a tree, the dummy (Tiger Woods) made some more haters out there. I’ll admit I wasn’t a big golf fan before Tiger Woods. I find golf to be a [...] Nobody needs a reminder of how dreadful the current financial times are. In case you do, the old home of the Detroit Lions, the Pontiac Silverdome, was recently purchased at an auction. Yes, this is the same 80,000 seat facility that once was home to the NFL’s Detroit Lions. In its time, it was the largest [...] The Placenta Cure: the Bloody Truth Quick anatomy lesson for those who are clueless or were absent (unconscious) [...] Elizabeth Lambert? Who the hell is Elizabeth Lambert? Many times over, the Internet has made many an instant celebrity. The cold truth is many of these celebrities are made for the wrong reasons. William Hung, the Jedi-kid, Numa Numa and now a New Mexico female soccer player by the name of Elizabeth Lambert. Well, she’s a [...] While flipping channels before the Monday night football game, I caught the Mike Tyson interview on Oprah. I don’t care if you watch boxing or not, you need to watch any interview with Mike Tyson. He has to be one of the most fascinating people of my entire lifetime. How many people can you think [...] I am a satellite radio subscriber. I like it for all the music, but mostly I like the sports talk radio channels so I can feed my obsessive need for sports while I’m driving to and from work. Between the ESPN and FoxSports channels, I can usually catch some interesting information about the NFL, NHL [...] |
