| The Jester's Quart: Seattle's Sonic Bust |
It's as stereotypical as rain-soaked months and flannel shirts tied around the waistbands of jean shorts, but the fact remains that the good people of Seattle consume an absurd amount of coffee.
Coffee bars, coffee shops, coffee in the hotel lobby, coffee at the gas station - and...

| The New York Yankees - main reason baseball needs a salary cap |
|
The New York Yankees are probably the most known sports franchise in the world. Traveling to the four corners of this world it is likely that one would see someone wearing a NY Yankees hat. What does that tell you about the team? Is it because they have won the most World Series Championships or...

| VD's Previews: Cincinnati Bengals |
Last Year:
There was a time when the Cincinnati Bengals were so broken-hearted, and love wasn’t much of a friend of theirs. But with the arrivals of Carson Palmer and Marvin Lewis, the tables have turned and the Bengals and them losing ways have parted. They won the AFC North...

| VD's Previews: Chicago Bears |
Last Year:
It was supposed to be another down season in Chicago but head coach Lovie Smith wasn’t listening to all that jazz. While Minnesota succumbed to injuries and division mates Detroit and Green Bay did their cellar block tango, the Bears won 11 games on the strength of their...

| Christmas in July |
|
It was 9:30pm when my cell phone started buzzing. It didn’t ring (I understand the silent function), but that slight buzz was enough to distract me for half a second. That nuisance was enough to turn Brady Quinn’s sharp pass from a sure-fire third down...

| US Attorney Kevin Ryan needs to move on, stop wasting our money |
|
Someone once said enough is enough already. In fact I believe that this came from a Looney Tunes cartoon. Last Thursday the federal government failed to obtain its so desired indictment on perjury and tax-evasion. The grand jury’s term had expired and Bonds still remains a free man – for now...

| VD's Previews: Carolina Panthers |
Last Year:
After a season off from contention, mostly because of injury impediments, the Carolina Panthers reclaimed their NFC contender status in 2005. The Panthers cruised to a 9-3 start, thanks to a facile schedule, and continued to exude characteristics that their head coach John...

| VD's Previews: Buffalo Bills |
Last Year:
It was supposed to be a smooth transition from the Drew Bledsoe era to the J.P. Losman era, especially since the Buffalo Bills ended 2004 on such a high. But as the new season started, there was no sign of the secure bunch that won eight of the final 10 games the...

| The Jester's Quart: A Penalty Kick in the Pants |
|
What a tiresome debate we've had in the aftermath of the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Somehow, an entire tournament of great soccer has been encapsulated into a few harsh words, a head to the sternum, and a seemingly endless back-and-forth about it. Obviously you can't spell Zidane...

| VD's Previews: Baltimore Ravens |
Last Year:
After hovering around the 10-win mark for a couple of seasons, the Baltimore Ravens expected at least the status quo in 2005, especially with the return of a rehabilitated Jamal Lewis. But Lewis was hobbled by an ankle pains and the theme of injuries surfaced on defense as...

| A new hero? |

Welcome to the new America, where we currently enjoy an economic slump, a gruesome war with no end in sight, record oil prices, and have to live with the constant threat of terrorism. Even our sports are in trouble as our national pastime faces its biggest crisis of all time. This all crossed my...

People know about the ESPYs. I’m not sure how many people know, or how many important people know, but those are the awards given out by ESPN for the best of whatever in sports for the past year. I wholly appreciate honoring the year’s bests, but the...
