Random thoughts while wondering what baseball commissioner Bud Selig would have done if the New York Yankees were in the World Series this season and there was to have been a Game 5 (something says the Fall Classic would have ended up being played at Milwaukee’s Miller Park, as happened to two Houston Astros games […]
Monday meanderings: When Ryan Theriot came up with the Chicago Cubs, who ever thought he would score the winning run in two World Series. Well, other than perhaps his most ardent admirers. That rare achievement belongs to Theriot. Of course, not with the Cubs who haven’t appeared in a World Series since 1945 and haven’t […]
Another Sunday, another bunch of notes provided by the NFL’s department of information (making the games interesting and attending and/or watching on television). Oh, yes, and another excuse to run photos of Jaime Edmondson in NFL-themed attire (as if any excuse is needed regarding the Playboy Playmate around here). You can follow Jaime on Twitter […]
Is it too late to change that forecast of the Detroit Tigers winning the World Series in six games? The San Francisco Giants took a 3-0 series lead with a 2-0 victory Saturday night (Oct. 27) in Detroit. Meaning the baseball season is one more Tigers loss away from being over.

And, yes, such news does […]
Midweek musings: For those who are hockey fans (and, yes, we know you’re out there — even without an NHL season, thanks to the owners’ lockout of players), Patrick Kane has become the latest member of the Chicago Blackhawks to be going abroad (one word, not two, Patrick). He has agreed to play for EHC […]
Random thoughts while wondering whether the Detroit Lions could have scored before the closing seconds in Monday night’s game if the Chicago Bears defense wasn’t even on the field: * Bears quarterback Jay Cutler’s ribs became a topic after he was slammed to the ground by Detroit’s Ndamukong Suh. Jay Cutler’s ribs sounds like it […]
