The following is a rough excerpt from a coming book not yet titled.   Chapter XX   We flew back to Vegas on a Southwest evening flight. Almost all of our flights around the PCL were Southwest since the airline had a major hub in Vegas. The Casinos drew so much tourist...

In a recent talk with a friend, the subject of the great Tim Tebow came up. No, no, not his amazing football season this year. I don’t pay attention to football whatsoever, so trying to talk about the mechanics of the game with me would be a fruitless endeavor. Instead, the...

On Thursday I got to do my first NPR voice over for a commentary I wrote about the unknowns of being a free agent. It aired this morning on It’s Only A Game. I get the question of what team I’ll be playing for, where, and if I’ll be playing at all a lot. Often I have no answer....

Now that shock of Pujols leaving the Cardinals has started to sink in, we have to ask ourselves if the Angles are going to get all one quarter of a billion dollars of their money’s worth from the deal? Albert is unquestionably one of the game’s premier talents, but, still,...

Yesterday I posted this article on Bleacher Report. I stand by it. It got it’s far share of strong responses, both for and against, but some folks took the time to email me about it. Here is one:
