I know you’ve pictured it a million times in your head. It haunts you. In fact, you’ve even dreamt of it. You’re sitting in front of your computer screen waiting for your draft to begin. The blue glow of the computer screen is fixing your eyes like a bug zapper to a wayward mayfly.
Then it happens.
I’ve always considered the home run the most American part of baseball. With one swing of the bat, the hitter gets it all, and quickly too. He gets all four bases, all the adulation of the fans, all the credit for the one (or more) runs driven across the plate, and possibly, all the credit for a game, series or championship won.
Barry Bonds’ baseball career could be over, but his career as a defendant might just be getting started
If baseball is the national pastime, despising Barry Bonds is a close second. He is to colossal jerk what Jessica Simpson is to dumb blond: indistinguishable. It’s his persona. It is who he is. And until yesterday, Barry Bonds didn’t care about his persona. He didn’t care what you, I, or anyone else thought about him. He has been defiant towards the media his entire career. But that all changed at an impromptu press conference in the Arizona desert.
For the last few years I’ve been waiting for a savior, a savoir to pull the Browns out of their 41-year drought of not making it to an NFL Championship. But the savior I am hoping for probably won’t come soon, due to the quality of our former draft picks, which leads me to why the Browns have a below-par foundation of a team.
Alright, I hate to be the one to throw cold water all over your dreams, but someone’s got to do it. Here goes: The Celtics will not win a championship this season. Not one for the Eastern Conference, and certainly not the whole damn thing.
In today’s society, high schools are often deeply divided. Students are so concerned with popularity, that it is a rarity that students from different social classes can come together and even so much as peacefully coexist, let alone actually get along.
This winter, the Boston Latin School Boys’ Hockey team captured the hearts of fans in a way quite similar to that of the Red Sox only a few months earlier. The team transcended cliques and captivated all levels of the social hierarchy. This is their story.
The Roush Racing Fords have been a dominant force in the past several years at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Jack Roush’s Fords have won five of the past seven races at Vegas coming in to this past weekends race. If you were ever going to bet on a Jack Roush car to win a race the UAW-Daimler Chrysler 400 would normally be that race, except this weekend was meant for the John Hendricks Chevrolets.
The Chicago Cubs are in trouble. They have no leadoff man, no closer, and now may start the season with out its number one and one-A pitchers.
March Madness is just no fun when you lose out on bragging rights…
Normally I love the underdog. But you didn’t hear me scream “Go Bucknell! Go Vermont! Go West Virginia!” on the first weekend of March Madness. Why? Because I didn’t pick them in my March Madness pool. And as is the case of anything I do, I hate losing.
