Honestly, what I think this week is that there aren’t enough hours in the day. Sorry for not posting until now. NCAA time gets a little crazy around here. I’m going to go through how I filled out my bracket, but I have to say right away that I don’t feel good about it. One … Read more

With that done, here’s this week’s edition: * I’m … Read more

This is why I don’t get emotionally involved in sports any more. When I do, I end up dinged up. A fist pump with Ryan Kesler’s incredible empty-net goal for the United States against Canada on Sunday night, and my head swings enough to push the glasses from my face and across my eye.
