The Road to NOLA Continues

Another weekend means it’s time for more NFL football. This may be my favorite weekend of the playoffs with 2 days of big-ticket doubleheaders. I was feeling pretty good after going 4-0 with my picks plus getting the BCS game right, the coaches are another story though. Heck, I’m happy to have gotten 1 right…

Bettman’s Blunder – the 2013 NHL “Season”

I grew up in a state where people paid attention to hockey. I learned to skate once I could walk, my family had season college hockey tickets, and we frequently went to professional games. Between college and professional only, I’ve attended hundreds of hockey games – let alone the thousands more I’ve watched on TV…

Second Season Begins

The NFL will take center stage this weekend as the playoffs begin. Never growing up a big NFL fan, the sports purest in me loves this time of year. I don’t have a team I’m aligned to, so I really only pay attention to the 18 week schedule for my fantasy teams. Now, it’s time…

Are they who we thought they were?

It pains me to write this as I’ve just watched my beloved Tigers go down 2-0 to the Giants. My prediction is already wrong and I couldn’t care less about that. I want nothing more than for the Tigers to win it for the team, city, fans and Mr I. There were two main reasons…

Fall Classic Preview

As November nears, it can only mean one thing: it’s time for the World Series to begin! For Tigers fans, it has been a long 5 days of waiting (and for some since Prince was announced as a Tiger and everyone got excited of what could happen this season). Although the road wasn’t always easy,…

Same Song, Third Verse

As I sat at home on Saturday and watched the Michigan/Michigan State game, I felt like I had seen this play out before. In the two previous B1G losses to be exact. MSU has now lost 3 conference games by a total of 6 points and all of them have the same story lines: missed…

Sweep Dreams

Let’s be totally honest. Before the series started, no one saw this being a Tigers sweep. The Yankees had not been swept in a 7 game series in 32 years and the Tigers had too many holes to completely dominate – or so we thought. Were fans confident that they could beat the Yankees in…

Have we reverted to Same Old Spartans?

As Rivalry week begins, I starting to wonder if the only way the Spartans avoid a loss on Saturday is if the bus gets lost on the way to Ann Arbor. I’m not sure I’ve even been so disgusted with my alma mater in my lifetime. Yes, as a lifelong fan, I’ve endured some ugly…
