Racism has existed for centuries. We have been witnesses to its suppressed re-emergence because of the coronavirus and the murders of black citizens. Not only have black people and those of color been stigmatized because of race, but so have the Indigenous people. Over the years, sports teams have been named after terms that Native […]

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution references freedom of speech. Prior to the commencement of the 2016 National Football League season, I composed an article describing Colin Kaepernick’s protest against racial injustice and oppression.

On Oct. 5, 1997, the WWE presented a pay-per-view event, titled Badd Blood. That event was headlined by the first-ever Hell in A Cell match between Shawn Michaels and the Undertaker.

Football is a complex subject. There is a whole industry surrounding the enterprise. Statistics are everywhere. It would not surprise me if there is a statistic of how many players had a bowl of Wheaties for breakfast on game day! Statistics are everything. NFL stats are apparently a very important aspect of the game. Of […]

I can’t say that I am a huge football fan, and I can’t claim to be an expert on how teams are ranked. One thing is clear, no-one has come up with the simplistic idea of just looking at the league as a whole. Forget the conferences and the other BS. Who is winning and […]

Recently there has been a lot of news circulating around Donald Sterling, and none of which was good. The fact that Steve Balmer has bought his team is perhaps the most positive news in regard to Donald since his lifetime ban from the NBA.

Actually I disagree. It may not have the drama of broken bones in the skiing department. Nor the drama of Ice hockey. And certainly none of the Foo Foo involved with Ice Dancing, Singles, doubles, or small dogs with skates on their paws and are wearing a Tutu! Curling is a simple pastime. At its […]

Calm down, I am not talking about extracurricular activities, merely the delightful sport of Curling. It is a great sport, it does not rely on expensive gear likes Ski’s uniforms, or wind tunnel tests. Curling is a sedate sport, injuries are infrequent, I am sure that at some point a curler has dropped the rock […]

Well that is the plan according to major media outlets. A ‘crowd sourced’ fundraising effort is underway to raise the $80,000 required to cover the expenses for the team. Personally I hope they make it. I was involved with the 1988 Winter games in Calgary. I had a nice warm place in the central command […]

It is considered one of the most demonic structures in all of wrestling and it has been known to shorten some wrestlers’ careers. The Hell in A Cell is similar to a regular steel cage. The only difference is that there is a roof covering the top. In the history of the WWE there have […]

I will be the first to admit that selling Sail Boat races to the masses is a tough act. It doesn’t have the fan base that NASCAR has. To the best of my knowledge way more people know about Sham Wow and Oxyclean adverts than they do about Boat Racing. Some 5 years ago rich […]

Being completely ticked off with NBC’s TV coverage, my rant is here. I decided that it was time to move to the Internet coverage, this supposedly was live. Of course there are a couple of Olympic ‘hoops’ that you need to jump through. For reasons that only the brain the size of a Peacocks (not […]

For once I cannot pin the blame of NBC. Everyone does it. The damn medal rankings. In my mind a Gold Medal has greater weight than a Silver, which in turn has more weight than a Bronze. Now to be fair, winning any of these medals is a lifetime achievement for any athlete. An Olympic […]

Fans of the WWE have often complained about the stagnancy of the company’s current main event scene, with the same superstars headlining major events. However, I feel that the WWE is making slight progress towards younger talents, not only moving them up in the company, but also allowing new stars to debut. Viewers of the […]

In the WWE, tag team wrestling was once an important part of their broadcasts. In my opinion, the best matches in the division occurred between the 1980’s to the early 2000’s. However, over the past few years, the quality of tag matches, have deteriorated because of a lack of teams, and interest on the part […]

The reports are that the Denver Bronco’s have picked up QB Peyton Manning for a wallet busting $96 million 5 year contract. So this likely signals the departure of Tim Tebow from the Bronco squad.
