Question #174 was going to be, “Where have you guys been?” but the answer isn’t anything particularly interesting – a combination of time off, baseball previews, high school sports championship travel and other obligations made it tough to blog for a little while. But now, with MLB about to start, we’re back.

I’m headed down [...]

So the Jets need a quarterback. That’s pretty obvious. And the Broncos, who have a new coach in former Patriots coordinator Josh McDaniel, are apparently at least somewhat open to shopping Pro Bowler Jay Cutler since Cutler has said he doesn’t believe he can play in Denver anymore.

Then in today’s Daily News, there comes a [...]

Don’t even start with the Super Bowl. It’s a fun day, no doubt, and I like wings as much as anyone, but the game is so over-hyped and it’s a rarity that the action even comes close to living up to it all. Super Bowls are great but they can’t come close to NCAA tournament [...]

So, in today’s paper and on LoHud.com, I wrote a column about the Sandy Koufax vs. Hank Greenberg debate and included thoughts from a Rockland County author who has written a book called “The Baseball Talmud” in which he ranks by position all the Jewish major leaguers.

While Howard Megdal’s quest was a good one, to [...]

The three days leading up to Thursday’s opening of the NCAA Tournament are rife with plenty of debating and decrying the tournament committee’s selections. This year, there’s already a perpetual argument going over the lack of “mid-major” teams in the 65-team field, which many observers think is a real injustice.

There are 31 automatic bids to [...]

During the recent NHL general managers’ meetings, there was a discussion and modification to some of the NHL’s rules on fighting. The executives did not markedly change the basic concept of hockey fighting, but instituted some minor changes intended to penalize “staged” fights, like those that start immediately after a faceoff. Frankly, I’m not sure [...]

I love this time of year. Yes, the NCAA tournament is awesome but the conference tournaments are almost as exciting, if only because it’s wall-to-wall basketball for an entire week with everyone from the best of the best to the also-rans and the hanging-on hopefuls all playing nonstop.

I know everyone around here loves the Big [...]

Many of you know that I occasionally like to consider wagering propositions and enjoy the odd game of cards. So, I would LOVE to know what kind of odds you could have gotten a month ago on the starting third baseman in the first game at the new Yankee Stadium being CODY RANSOM. Anyone who [...]

Let me start by saying this: I’m not a doctor. In fact, I’m very much not a doctor, so everything I write on here is based on the copious reporting (which includes quotes from people who are, in fact, doctors) that’s been done on Alex Rodriguez and his right hip issues.

Here’s what I know to [...]

Normally I try not to do the same subject two days in a row, but the trading deadline is always interesting stuff and, frankly, I couldn’t think of a question anyone would take seriously having to do with A-Rod’s hip. So … let’s talk more Rangers.

I like what the Rangers did yesterday. I like the [...]
