(Caller #1) Hello. Alam Erican residence, Beth speaking.
(Unidentified Indiana Basketball Coach) I’m sorry, I accidentally was connected with this number by mistake as part of a three way phone call and I am totally unaware of whom I am talking to. Say, you wouldn’t be Rick Alam Erican’s mom would you?
(Caller [...]
Ready, set, blog…
The grinning Indian on the hat has to go. Keep the name, but do something about the logo. It’s just embarrassing.
Speaking of embarrassing…J.D. Drew….11 HR 64 RBI and $11.4 million. Everybody knew. I knew. The snake oil salesman we know as Scott Boras knew. The [...]
I know, wronger isn’t a word. But there is wrong and then there is, well, wronger. And my blog on the Patriots and Cowboys was wronger than most.
Let’s look at that blog again on replay…
"New England will probably go up top early and often against the
inconsistent Dallas secondary. The vaunted Wade Phillips 3-4 hasn’t
generated a [...]
Jerry Buss now says he would listen to offers for Kobe Bryant. Who does, doesn’t, or does want to be traded. I forget.
The question isn’t whether the Lakers should trade Bryant, just why it has taken so long to figure it out. The marriage with Shaq never worked out, but the divorce has been worse.

I used to think sports journalists knew something. They sounded like they did. Very confident lot. Use words like establish.

According to Tears for Fears “Everybody Wants to Rule the World”. Not me. I just want to be President of Sports. Since the office doesn’t exist and nobody else is running, there is at least a 50% chance I might win. Or not.
I think candidates should say what they mean and [...]
Memo to George:
Joe Torre doesn’t matter.
If you have to try and motivate a team in October, there are more problems than the manager. Maybe the baseball card collection known as the New York Yankees just isn’t as good the baseball team doing business as the Cleveland Indians. A win tonight doesn’t change that.

Marion Jones has come clean. After she ran dirty.
The Federal investigators who came down on Ross Grimsley and Kirk Radomski (the Mets clubhouse guy) are still out there. Slow grinding as they are, the wheels of justice are going to crush some careers over the next year, including some that will surprise [...]
Scott Boras strikes again.
The Braves have announced they won’t resign free agent outfielder Andruw Jones. Jones wants to stay in Atlanta, and the Braves want him back. The problem is Scott Boras doesn’t want Jones in Atlanta.
Get this out up front. Scott Boras is the best agent in baseball. [...]
So what if Isiah Thomas demeaned a woman working for the Knicks? Why are we doing CSI Flushing Meadows over the remains of the Mets? After all, there is a world outside of New York City.
That’s why the best story in sports today comes from Farmington, Wisconsin.
Ed Long was standing in the Milwaukee River, hunting [...]
