Serena Williams…..SMH

In Steubenville, Ohio high school football reigns supreme.  Two players from that football team were convicted of raping a 16 year old girl, posting the event and comments on social media and allowing her peers to watch.  Did I mention that all of this took place after she has basically passed out from a night of drinking.

This case caught the national spotlight and polarized many about the high school culture and the blasé attitude towards sexual behavior. 

As a country, we’re learning from it and trying to move past it. 

We get it.

Well, at least most of us get it.… Read the rest

Costas Is Just Too Arrogant To Take Anymore

Bob Costas can say what he wants because he feels that he’s earned that right and he just doesn’t care what you think.  If you don’t like it, turn the channel.

And I will!

Costas has spoken out about numerous topics, including gun control, that have incited the masses but his latest shot is just uncalled for. 

The Mets beat the Cubs over the weekend with a 4 run 9th inning capped off by a walk off homer from Kirk Nieuwenhuis, who by the way was just called up from Triple A.  When Nieuwenhuis reached homeplate, his teammates surround him and celebrated enthusiastically as many teams do, with the bouncing scrum.… Read the rest

Baseball Was Between A Rock And Capital Hill

Baseball weighed the choices and, in my opinion, two things decided the choice MLB made;

The NHL’s Marketing Miss

I watched the Blackhawks and the Bruins, one of the original 6 NHL teams, battle in 3 overtimes until Andrew Shaw dropped the biscuit into the net for a 4-3 Chicago win in the fifth-longest game in the history of the Stanley Cup Finals.

When the lamp lit and the United Center fans leaped to their feet in adulation, I witnessed the Twitter World explode. Keep in mind, I mainly follow sports people but still, even a guy like former NFL’er Warren Sapp was tweeting about the extra amount of exciting hockey we were catching.

It’s hard to believe that only 6 months ago we were wondering if there would even be an NHL season.… Read the rest
