Last Sunday, Miami Dolphins wideout Tyreek Hill was stopped by Miami police officers for alleged speeding and reckless driving violations, while on his way to Hard Rock Stadium for the Dolphins’ season opening game. In what became a controversial incident, Hill ended up face down and handcuffed on the street, before eventually being released.  He… Continue reading “What if I wasn’t Tyreek Hill?”

This one is strictly for fans of the NFL, like I am. So can we stop with the Aaron Rodgers man-crushes already? Maybe it’s just ESPN.  But for years, all I’ve heard is Aaron Rodgers this… Aaron Rodgers that.  On the network’s “First Take” show, Stephen A. Smith even coined the moniker “that baaad man.” … Continue reading Busting Aaron’s Myth

A couple of nights ago, I was watching ESPN coverage of FIFA World Cup results, when the obviously bored female commentator gleefully said… “But let’s get back to hockey.” Which prompted me to write a comparison about the different team sports… as well as my preferences. Let’s begin with hockey.  I’ll sum it up with… Continue reading Team Sports Comparison

Coincidentally, I was watching World Series Game 3 between the Atlanta Braves and the Houston Astros, when the funniest graphic appeared on my television screen. Obviously, it was a typo by whoever does these graphics, and… Continue reading Sports Stats Blooper

It began to rain extremely hard, forcing me to slow down to about 40 miles per… Continue reading Statistics Overload

About 3 ½ months ago, I wrote an article about the GOAT (Greatest of All Time) debate in basketball between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.  I concluded that in my personal opinion, it was still Jordan.  The fun part of debating GOATs in sports is that arguments can go on interminably. But there are other… Continue reading GOATs in sports

Two major news events have surfaced in the last couple of days, and although they’re related to sports, they carry a bit of political flavors as well. One is the decision by Major League Baseball (MLB) to add the Negro Leagues (1920 – 1948) to MLB records and statistics.  While I’ve often viewed actions toward… Continue reading Major Sports (and Political) News

The Los Angeles Lakers have just won the 2020 NBA Finals over the Miami Heat, and LeBron James was named MVP of the Finals.  Naturally then, it is time to restart the always entertaining and educational debate over just who is the basketball GOAT (Greatest of all Time). Before delving into that particular argument, it… Continue reading Basketball G.O.A.T. Debate
