I did a fake draft before the season was completed. May still do one next week, but it’s fun to look back and see how things have changed. Why didn’t Matt Barkley come out, the jerk? Among the many, many things that annoy me about NFL Draft coverage is the chameleon-like ability prospects gain between… Continue Reading

Levon Helm and Death In Music
Few people affect our souls more than those graced with meaningful pipes and few resonate with as much significance as those that ultimately lead to the demise of Mr. Levon Helm. The Band’s backbeat has died of throat cancer, leaving behind a legion of grateful fans turned mourners. Great musicians become family members to those… Continue Reading
Remembering The Aude
So one of my very good friends is a high school baseball coach in Massachusetts and has been posting hilarious — well, if you have a dark sense of humour — baseball moments from YouTube on his Facebook page. The one he posted today was a flash from Buffalo baseball past. Enjoy: So, who is… Continue Reading
2012 NHL Postseason Predictions
My preseason Final Four predictions for the National Hockey League are an impossibility thanks to the state of Pennsylvania, but that doesn’t change the pivotal nature of the Pittsburgh v. Philadelphia first-round series. Here are my NHL Playoff predictions. Conference Quarters NYR over OTT in six games — The Rangers sat atop the league’s toughest… Continue Reading
“My Guy” For the 2012 NFL Draft
Look at the size of this human being. He resembles a mix of Brian Orakpo, pure terror and a tiger. Terror Tiger is going to ransack the opposition’s personal goals. They are going to be so angry when he’s done with them, but there isn’t much they can do to avoid their fate, because Terror… Continue Reading
How One Brave Kid, a Volunteer and a Sabre Brightened Today
It’s fair and sad to say that I’ve had a cynical year; Since approximately June of 2011 I’ve struggled to find and believe in a lot of good things and that runs in the exact wrong direction of the person I’d like to become. For the first time in a long time, I’ve struggled to… Continue Reading
Gregg Williams Shouldn’t Coach In the NFL Again
As much as it hurt, I had Gregg Williams back. The former Bills boss whose repertoire in Buffalo involving losing and awkward sound bites had been under the proverbial gun for running a bounty system for his defenders on opposition players. Every defender in the NFL hits and most try to do it in a… Continue Reading
Beaten By Who? You Gotta Be Scrivens Me
I get it; This is a sensitive time of year for hockey fans. Driven by the desire for post-season puck, the majority fans cannot help but overstate glory and disaster in every frozen moment. It’s hairy. It’s edgy. It’s insane. Which is exactly how I feel when I hear the following remark made by many,… Continue Reading
The Kentucky Wildcats Would Get Absolutely Destroyed By A Poor NBA Team and It’s Embarrassing to Believe Any Other Thought
Sorry to be Captain Funless here, but I’d rather get Anthony Davis’ eyebrow tattooed over my pair than hear one more person ask if the Kentucky Wildcats could beat an NBA team. No. Yes, Coach Cal has recruited a team so talent-rich they could be a parable — It’s Palm Sunday, after all — but… Continue Reading
A Rant On “Mad Men” Before I Begin Season Five
While I wouldn’t advise any other writer to begin a piece by suggesting the reader check out something better, the television program “Mad Men” is likely to never see a description more befitting itself than this piece by Andy Greenwald of Grantland. It’s nearly perfect, save for pitch: he uses those many wonderfully-accurate sentences to… Continue Reading
