Lance Armstrong For Congress

Posted on January 18, 2013 by

Here I thought nobody could ever unseat Tiger Woods for lying and betrayal, then along comes Lance Armstrong. He has taken lying and deceit to a new level. Not only did he deny ever taking performance enhancing drugs but he … Continue reading →

San Francisco Giants Keep the Tigers in the Tank

Posted on October 30, 2012 by

Yeah baby! Another World Series championship for the San Francisco Giants. This was a great comeback from early adversity against the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals. I only wish Detroit had put up a better fight. I think the … Continue reading →

Posted on September 12, 2012 by

Payton Manning is back and heating it up in Denver! It was a pleasure watching him dissect the Pittsburgh defense. It was quite a coup to bring him to Denver (thank John Elway) and he looks healthy and firing on … Continue reading →

Farewell the Olympics

Posted on August 13, 2012 by

I loved watching the Olympics these past couple of weeks. The competition between countries via their athletes is a testament to sportsmanship and fair play (badminton notwithstanding).  It’s impossible not to be affected by the sheer joy of victory on … Continue reading →

Posted on January 9, 2012 by

How about those Denver Broncos? Pittsburgh was no match for Tim Tebow and his ‘friends in high places’. Maybe Jesus really does watch football! In the past we only saw his work in the 4th quarter but yesterday he showed … Continue reading →

Posted on November 18, 2011 by

You can’t help but be amazed by the recent success of Tim Tebow and the Denver Broncos (disclaimer: I’ve been a Denver fan since I was ‘knee high to a duck’). That doesn’t mean I drank the Tebow kool-aid. Watching … Continue reading →

The 49ers are Fool’s Gold

Posted on August 30, 2011 by

I’m not a big San Francisco 49ers fan even though I live in the bay area, but I get to read all about them in the local papers. After their latest dismal loss the coach described their offense as still … Continue reading →

Thomas Levet Needs to Learn How to Celebrate

Posted on July 8, 2011 by

When Thomas Levet won the French Open golf tournament he literally jumped for joy…into an adjoining lake. Golfers have done this before ( the winner of the women’s Kraft Nabisco Championship always jumps into the pond at #18). However, these … Continue reading →

Green Bay Wins, Black Eyed Peas Lose

Posted on February 7, 2011 by

Green Bay wins Super Bowl XLV (that’s 45 for us mere mortals).  It was a well contested game but not a great game. Both teams played hard but made plenty of mistakes. Green Bay dropped too many passes and Pittsburgh … Continue reading →

Pittsburgh and Green Bay are Super Bowl Bound

Posted on January 24, 2011 by

There were some good football games this weekend. The first half of both games was rather lopsided but second half rallies led both to exciting finishes. It should be a well contested Super Bowl. I’m neutral except for the bet … Continue reading →
