If you’ve spoken to a soccer fan this month, chances are they’ve been engrossed in the UEFA Euro 2008 tournament, which will determine European soccer bragging rights for the next four years.

There IS another guy who has been with the same franchise for 10 years, and had a chance to lead that team to a championship, and he was ironically picked right before Pierce (and immediately traded for Robert “Tractor” Traylor and his bag of Funyuns).

In the wake of the Penguins Stanley Cup Finals loss to the Detroit Red Wings, I am reminded of Dan Marino. In 1984, the sophomore signal caller of the Miami Dolphins burst onto the NFL scene, throwing for over 5,000 yards (still an NFL record) and 48 touchdowns (a record that stood for 20 […]

The best part my foray into Fantasy Baseball is how completely liberating and therapeutic the pursuit of a purely monetary goal can be. The emotional side of being a sports fan is fatiguing.
