Sports have entertained the masses for centuries. Going all the way back to the early Olympics in Greece or the Gladiator Games in Rome, there have been spectacles to fuel the enjoyment of the masses. Modern sports are no different. We have millions watching now, instead of 20-100 thousand. Since the beginning, the human ability […]
As the NBA playoffs are in full swing with Conference Finals alternating nights, the other teams not in the playoffs have a stake in the action tonight. Tonight at 7:30 PM Eastern/6:30 PM Central before Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Celtics and Cavs, the NBA Lottery will take place right here […]
As a kid growing up in the Chicago area, you are asked early in the spring – Cubs or Sox? The town is divided along Black and Blue lines. Yes, the North Side (Cubs) is a more affluent part of town compared to the South Side (Sox) part of town, but it is not purely […]
The Conference Semis are complete with all very short series. The match ups really didn’t favor long series, and frankly, it was a shame. Only one series was fairly compelling – Philly vs Boston. Even though the series only went 5 games, most of those games were competitive. Let’s review the Index: Conference Semis Index […]

As a sports fan, I do tend to stick with the major sports. I grew up playing baseball at a young age and played until I was 14. I’ll always love baseball, but the game is hard to watch and the season is so long. My dad was such a big Bears fan growing up […]
So, all the lights have been carted out of AT&T Stadium. The tv cameras are gone, but the league continues on. 256 players were selected in 3 days, but there is another pool of players that make up the life blood of the league – Undrafted Free Agents. Not every NFL player was drafted. So, […]
So, I’m a little behind on this, but with the NFL Draft, I had only so much time to dig in. The NBA Playoffs roll on into the Conference Semis. Now, the better teams have advanced, in theory to get some solid series. Let me review the Playoff Index predictions and my own for Round […]
The NFL Draft consumed a lot of TV time this weekend. Starting on Thursday, the 4 hours covered only 32 picks. Friday, we had another 68 names called in Rounds 2-3. Finally, on Saturday, the real work went in as another 154 players were called in Rounds 4-7. Instead of Draft grades, I’m going to […]
