Sports Bio

I have been a fan of the Denver Broncos since the mid 60's.

From about the same time, I have also been passionate about the Boston Red Sox.

In collegiate sports, I root for the University of Hawaii Rainbow Warriors.

Trajedy at West Point: Maggie Dixon, 28, suffered an arrhythmia heart episode on Wednesday at West Point, leaving her in critical condition in the hospital's intensive care unit. Thursday night, she died at age 28. Maggie had just taken her women's basketball team to the NCAA tournament for the first time in the program's history. She was also half of the first brother-sister combo to coach teams in that tourney in the same year.

Yankees Acquire Nick Swisher from White Sox

OK, granted I'm a bit of a Yankee hater, but they are trading for a guy who hit .219 last year, and another who had a 4.47 ERA in minor league ball? I'm reveling in this shit!

What Might Have Been:

The man deserves more than a couple of dots. While I was just a bit too young to see him on the mound, I do know of his work in the booth. It was of the first order. He is beloved to many Indians fans. My condolences to his family.

Not good, wfrazerjr. Do a column if you wish, but shilling for access is a poor move.

There is some pretty serious editing happening on this thread. Calls the integrity of this site into question.

Flag On The Play!

I am in agreement with budman 13. I recently witnessed a rather non-competitive game, (not pro) and a defensive back made a tackle in the backfield. It went from 1st and 10 to 2nd and 12. He jumped and twisted and jived like he'd saved the world. Actually he was a member of the of the team getting creamed. Put some mustard on that hot dog, fool! Your team is still losing by 21 points! What on Earth do you have to dance about?

You've heard of "shanking a kick," but how about "shanking a kicker?"

Cozad is still in the running for the award, BullpenPro, the T-ball incident was in Pennsylvania, back in June. The guy is on trial now.

Bryant Gumbel in Trouble With NFL Network?

I'm no Gumbel fan, but I see this remark as being refreshing and all too accurate. NFL contracts are structured in such a way to allow useless agents to crow, but are in reality basically Monopoly money deals, as anything after the second or third season is extremely unlikely to be attained by the player who signs the contract. Bryant called a spade a spade, and the No Fun League is likely to have his ass for dinner as a result.

Auker loved to play, talk baseball

Eldin Auker was right. the old days were different. The plate did belong to the pitchers, the mound was higher, and the ball wasn't wound quite as tight. Gives me even more respect for those that were great hitters in a vastly different game than we see today. The ump has made his call, Eldin, and you are safe at home. RIP, brother.

Will Wie make history?

As I type this, Michelle Wie is 1 under par through 12 holes of the qualifier. I don't have the info on the rest of the field, but I am pleased to see that she's doing well.
