MLB’s Haves and Have-Nots Not StubHub’s Fault

 

By Diane M. Grassi

Now that the 2012 Major League Baseball (MLB) post-season is in full swing, what better time than to revisit the access fans have to attend MLB games?

It has been the norm over the past decade or so for the haves and have-nots being the new normal during the playoffs, and fans’ access to tickets including the league division series, the World Series and now the expanded Wild Card games.

2012 NFL Week 4 Picks and Podcast

Dear refs: Welcome back… welcome backs… welcome back. It’s so nice of Goodell to be completely honest with the fans and say that the Monday Night Football debacle had nothing to do with the timing of the labor agreement. Sure, Roger, and there’s a fat out of shape quarterback named Jamarcus we’d like to sell you.

Anyway, we’re the replacement games are done and we’re back to normal. Now when your team loses because they suck, there’s nobody to blame except your crappy team.

2012 NFL Week 2 Picks and Podcast

The thing to remember about week 2 of the NFL season is not to overcorrect. Yes, everyone was shocked by the Cowboys beating the Giants but don’t write off the Giants or anoint the Cowboys just yet. Plenty of good games this week to analyze and bet if you’re so inclined.

2012 NFL Week 1 Picks and Podcast

We’re back with the 8th year of the NFL Picks podcast. A few changes this year as we’ve moved into a 3 man booth. Apparently Ron Jaworski Ryan McGowan is not hip enough to connect with our younger audience. Ryan will still be making his picks and locks every week but only occasionally appear on the show.

So you’re stuck with Vin, RJ, and Burton/Peso. Mike Ciccarone is now the low man on the totem pole and will be filling in on weeks when one of us has better things to do.

Anyway, welcome back to the podcast — we know you missed us. The featured games this week are Bills at Tebows, Niners at Packers, and Steelers at Broncos.

Shocker: Unsportsmanlike Conduct at 30th Olympiad

By Diane M. Grassi

The entire world is watching, and given the attention that the global media has recently dedicated to unethical behavior of certain Olympic athletes, sports fans could mistake it for a newly introduced Olympic sport of its own, during these 2012 London Summer Games.
