A long time ago, I heard Mike Francessa of WFAN say:
“Momentum in baseball is the next day’s starting pticher.”
I forgot who he attributed it to. Nothing could be more true today. No matter how hot your team is, no matter how good or bad the teams playing are, that day’s starting pitching will most likely [...]

I contacted my buddy Shaft to tell him about the Trojans-Beavers game, and how 5′3″ inch Jacquizz Rodgers is running the ball down the vaunted USC defenses throat.
He tells me he is watching the Mets.
I try to convince him to give that up. That they are driving us crazy with their antics.
I guess we bought [...]

The Oregon State Beavers pulled off their usual magic tonight and shocked the college football world by beating the #1 ranked USC Trojans in a rare Thursday night Pac-10 game in Reser stadium in beautiful Corvalis, Oregon.
And I thought the USC-OSU game was two weeks ago.
It was the Trojans third loss in four attempts in [...]

Week 4 of the 2008 National Football League is upon us.
SFP blog went 3-2 in its picks last week. Here’s hoping we do better this week.
Jets over Cardinals.
Brett’s return home from a thumping in San Diego. Cards stayed east after losing in DC. They are homesick and Jets will send them quickly packing. Jets go [...]

I went to a meeting last night and was completely frustrated. I hate non-profit organizations who deny the role that politics plays in the governance of their organizations and mission.
Fucking tired of it. Shit, if the Dems don’t win, there won’t be a system to save. The GOP will not pass any legislation to protect [...]

NFL Week 3 picks.
While every game is a BIG game, the most intriguing match-ups to me are:
Oakland vs. Buffalo. Can the Kiffinites run the ball against a Greater Buffalo-Toronto team that won a huge road game against the Jags, after traveling 3000 plus miles?
My pick is Bills.
New Orleans vs. Denver. Offensive shootout with the [...]

I am on the bus coming home from work today.
I got on the bus with a mother and her child. The child could not have been more than 6 months old. Maybe a few months older.
Mama was a big beautiful woman. I noticed a tattoo on her arm. I think it was the baby’s feet. [...]

I am a New York sports fan. I root for all the New York teams.
And wehn I have to make a choice: the Mets, Jets, Nets, and Islanders get priority. If those teams play the Yankees, Giants, Knicks, and Rangers or Devils, I root for the fab four.
I think it had something to do with [...]

i am sure you have heard by now that Chris Cooley, of the Washington NFL team had a picture of a penis on his website.
As one famous NBA’er once said, Whoop de dam do!
I thought it might have something to do with former ESPN Football analyst, Sean Salisbury.
What got me about Captain Chaos blog was [...]

A good Monday night game brings Week 2 of the NFL Season to a close.
What was up with that call that the Eagles called on 4th down at the end of the game? Cowboys played great cover D on 3rd down to put Philly in a tough spot.
Great game. Lots of scoring, big plays on [...]
