Sports Bio

My favorite teams are the Cubs, Tigers, Lions, Panthers, Hurricanes, Sri Lanka, and Kings XI Punjab.
My most memorable sporting event that I attended was Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006 when the Hurricanes won it all. I will never forget a second of that game.

DK Metcalf: a man dedicated to the his craft of trash talking: Trash talking is slowly decreasing in the NFL. Whether fans, players and coaches like it or not, the league is cracking down on taunting, as they want their participants to set a good example for the younger audience. There are undoubtedly ways to get around the flags and fines, but DK Metcalf has found the perfect loophole: sign language.

2024 WNBA Draft: First-round grades, full results as Caitlin Clark goes No. 1 to Indiana Fever

No surprise with the #1 overall pick of Caitlin Clark to Indiana. Chicago Sky (really wish that the name would've been Skyline) get 6'7" Kamilla Cordoso of South Carolina (and also the Most Outstanding Player of the Final Four) *and* Angel Reese.

As a side note: South Carolina had only one player selected in the draft. Does that mean that the rest of the team returned to college?

The 'not guilty' verdict brought on a wave of white anger over a black man getting away with murder of a beautiful white woman that I will never be able to unpicture. At least from what I witnessed in the South, but I'll bet it wasn't too different up there in northern Michigan. And Norm McDonald's first couple of jokes aimed at OJ were humorous, but boy oh boy did he ever lean hard into that topic. I was just waiting for the n-bombs to eventually come out, but much to his credit, he kept them bottled up. Good for him?

Definitely, the best two teams in college basketball won their D1 championships this year.

I really wish that the superstars with eligibility on the womens side would come back to the college ranks. Keep using that ever higher visibilty platform to continue boosting the game. It looks like the top WNBA salaries are in the $250k range. The college superstars can easily blow past that in NIL money and whatever endorsement deals they land.

I also would not bet against the Sate women's team. They've been giant killers only all season long.

State men's team is 9-0 since sports wagering was offically opened for business. Lotsa of folks losing money betting against them. Meanwhile, I've been winning small amount betting on them. I figure that I can be wrong only once. That and the odds have been giving the favored teams too many points.
