Less Is More in NHL, At Least It Should Be
Why do we let the NHL have control of anything? The Winter Classic is perhaps the best thing that league ever did. The NHL finally had a signature event to call its own. So, of course, they had to ruin it by having their quasi-annual lockout. Then you figured the lockout would be settled in time because there was no way they would cancel the Winter Classic. Wrong.

Naked Gun Umpires in Real Baseball
Remember the baseball game scene in the original Naked Gun movie? The one where Frank Drebin pretended to be an umpire so that he could figure out who was trying to kill the Queen?

Jason Collins Truly Groundbreaking
Bravo Jason Collins. The day has arrived for an announcement that we knew was inevitable one day. An active player in one of the four major men’s team sports has come out as gay. The time had come.

You Can’t Predict the Sports Weather
April weather is predictably unpredictable, which is why a lot of the criticism being directed towards MLB is unfair. (Does anyone else remember the “Snow Game” at Yankee Stadium in 1996?) One of the biggest issues Joe Girardi had with the rain-outs in Cleveland was that it was the Yankees’ only tr
