Michael Jordan and the Internet: A historical perspective

Words can hardly describe my affection towards Michael Jordan. Jordan the basketball player, not the person. I often wonder how my kids (future tense) will view him. Will they study him and watch old games with their dad on NBA TV or will they view him...

The Cubs: is this the year?

Being a Chicago Cubs fan March and April are the most optimistic months of the year. For obvious reasons, the rest of the year pales in comparison. Last year was a bit different though, the Cubs actually put it together in September and gave us something...

NCAA Football 2007: I might just be able to see myself in section W

One of the editors from 1up.com was recently on DL.TV and spoke very highly of NCAA Football 2007 for the XBox 360 . So I decided to Google a bit and see if I can find a preview of the game. Of course Google knows all and IGN has an excellent write up...

Cubs Spring Training 2006: Cubs Sox tie; Mass kissing of sisters ensue; Sox still suck

Monday started with breakfast again at Mimi’s . Like I said, it’s the best AM restaurant in Mesa. We headed over to the park with football in hand ready to kill an hour or two before the game started. Of course this was the game we changed...

Cubs Spring Training 2006: D-Backs blank Cubs 6-0

Our second day in Mesa started early, well at least for me. I’m still on Alexa Marie time so I woke up at 5:30 AM and decided to go for a run. It was about fifty degrees outside and Mesa isn’t exactly the most interesting place to run. Everything...

Cubs Spring Training 2006: Cubs throw no hitter through nine; win 1-0 in ten

We landed in Phoenix on Saturday at 12:30 PM. This was perfect since we had tickets to see the Cubs split squad at Ho Ho Kam Park at 1:00 PM. But for some reason Hertz (linked with nofollow, no Google juice for you) didn't want to get us there on time...

Is this next year?

Tomorrow, my Dad and I are off to Phoenix once again to catch our beloved Cubs in three spring training exhibitions. Of course I’m looking forward to seeing the team in Ho-Ho-Kam Park but I’m really looking forward to wind down and get some...

And I'm Back in the Game!

This Sunday was the first time in nine months that I've bowled. Of course I didn't just open bowl, I entered in to the Dade County All Stars monthly tournament. This month was a match play singles tournament at Homestead. After my first few practice shots...

All good things must come to an end

Another Tuesday night, another ball game. I played tonight’s game much like the past two good D, poor O. I was 0-3 from the floor with one block, four assists and three rebounds. This week we played one of the best teams in the league. They’ve...

I’m happy to report that my participation in the Miami Half-Marathon was a complete success. No dehydration. No light headiness. No passing out. No hospitals. My official time was 2:29:18 and my net time was 2:25:16. I’m pleased with my time...

Here we go again.

Tomorrow, I will once again trek thirteen point one miles but instead of Disney I'll be running the Miami Half-Marathon . Of course I've got the usual pre-race jitters but I'm looking for a personal record. At Disney last year, my last half-marathon,...

Not as dramatic but a W nonetheless

We were back on the court last night playing our second game. There was some confusion about the game start time and I arrived at six for a nine o’clock tip. Meanwhile, the rest of my squad showed up at 7:30 and three of my team members was picked...

You can have a bad day but then there's 3.6 left

Our church basketball league has started up once again. I’m not a captain this year due to the wonderful bundle of joy but I did get on a squad. The league has moved from an indoor gym to the outdoor courts at Christ Fellowship . The baskets we’re...

Chad Johnson hates the media

The funniest sports writer on the planet, Bill Simmons, had this random thought on Chad Johnson in his column today . Random thought: Imagine if the Bengals somehow made the Super Bowl? Would that be the greatest two weeks of Chad Johnson's life or what...

Michael Irvin in the UM locker room

On the way home a few days ago I heard Dan LeBatard interview Michael Irvin on 790 The Ticket . In this interview Irvin describes the motivational speech he gave to the UM players before the FSU game . I was highly impressed by not only the context of...
