| The Death of Monday Night Football |
|
I used to love watching Monday Night Football. As a kid growing up in the early 80s it was such a thrill to stay awake until kickoff before falling asleep to the comforting sound of Howard Cosell’s nasal voice. As I got older and managed to make it through an entire game, I tuned in every week...

| The Jester’s Quart: I Don’t Know Jack |
|
Shea Stadium will no longer be home to the New York Mets by the start of the 2009 season. In my nearly three decades as a Mets fan, there are things about Shea I’ve enjoyed and things about Shea I’m glad will end up under a pile of rubble. And yes, I’m...

| Stern Rules |
NBA commissioner David Stern is probably the best leader in pro sports. Yet, he presides over a league that doesn’t appreciate him. He is given the daunting task of catering to a group of young, rich and predominately black athletes while trying to market a league to an older white audience.

| The Sports Guarantee |
Guaranteeing a win in sports has become an annoying trend among pretentious athletes and we need to put an end to it. Although it may seem like a bold move to predict a win, the act itself has become purely childish, especially when the guarantee fails.
Current and clueless...

| Sports Radio |
I listen to sports radio way too much. Yet, I can’t stop. It’s like having a drug problem that’s impossible to kick. I’m not sure how it started for me, but it has been going for 10 years and I am finally ready to break my addition.

| Excessive Celebration |
There was a time when athletes were humble and did not draw attention or show up the other team, but nowadays it seems every time an athlete does something relatively good, he excessively celebrates his greatness.
Now, I am neither old nor young, but my sports philosophy is strictly...

| Quarterback Controversy |
|
The two most overused and damaging words in the NFL are quarterback controversy (QBC).

| The Booing Rules |
When the most clutch kicker in NFL history returned to his old stomping grounds last Sunday night, I expected Adam Vinatieri to be cheered every time he stepped on to the field.
Boy was I wrong.
Vinatieri, who signed as a free agent with the Indianapolis Colts,...

| Veterans Day in the USA |
|
Today is Veterans Day. To most it really means nothing and that is not right. More than a few people will thank someone for their their service today but for the most part it is an empty plaudit. Sort of like like an obligatory how are ya or a holiday greeting. Those who serve do so for their own...

We've finally reached the climax of the election season and with that comes an end to the countless number of political attack ads that accompany the democratic process. It's unfortunate, because the smear campaigns are probably the most entertaining aspect of any voting process.
