Read MoreSuper Bowl Hot Dog
“Hey Lou, let’s go to the Super Bowl!” I remember uttering those words into my clunky cell phone early in the 4th Quarter of the 2004-05 AFC Championship game as the Patriots took a 3 touchdown lead over the Steelers. Lou Rettman operated a baseball facility that was home to the New England Navigators AAU baseball program where I had been coaching for several years. We’d become friends...

Read MoreManning vs Brady, The Ultimate Comparison Part III: The Playoffs
by Steve Caronia You can view Part I here and Part II here. Tom Brady. Peyton Manning. Both surefire Hall of Famers. Both in any rational human being’s all-time top 10 NFL quarterback list. But are they in the top 5? Are either of them the greatest of all time? If so, which one? In other words: who is better?

Read MoreManning vs Brady, The Ultimate Comparison Part II: The Running Backs and Offensive Lines
by Steve Caronia As we all know, Peyton Manning and Tom Brady are fairly good at what they do. They also happen to do the same thing. They’ve done it at the same time for 11 years (if you exclude their injuries). They’ve played against each other 14 times, and number 15 is coming up soon. It may be the last time we watch them on the same field. It’s as close as football has come...

Read MoreHow To Fix The Hall Of Fame
As evidenced by this weeks crapstorm, the Baseball Hall of Fame is in serious need of a revamping. Between the Old Dudes who don’t get, the Young Dudes— Oh come on, who are we kidding, what young dudes?! The biggest issue for the Hall of Fame is what constitutes as a Hall of Fame Career. With the offensive numbers being rethought, is 3,000 hits, or 500 homers a guarantee? Is it the Hall of...

Read MoreA Melo Trade That Makes Sense
Now that Robinson Cano has taken the money from Seattle in exchange for never being relevant again, New York City needs a new franchise player whose ability to actually help your franchise is debatable and may or may not walk away in free agency to debate about. That man is Carmelo Anthony. To some, he is an absolute elite basketball player, whose skill and ability put him on par with Kevin Durant or...

Read MoreWhy Was Chris Kluwe Really Released – Cowardice, Bigotry, Or…He Wasn’t Very Good?
by Steve Caronia I like Chris Kluwe. A lot. He’s a smart guy. A thoughtful guy. He “gets it” in my opinion, if that makes any sense. He also seems like a cool, down to earth guy. Kluwe actually answered a series of questions I posed to him about the crown of the helmet rule a while ago and, without blinking, allowed us to put it on our site. Pretty awesome. So please,...
