THE FATHER LIFE

They call it March madness for a reason. Even the guy in your office who cares nothing about sports probably gets excited by hearing those two words. March Madness is the term used as an alternate way of saying the men’s (and apparently women’s) NCAA basketball tournament that takes place in the month of March.
It’s [...]

In the television world, no show, no matter how original and smart is completely safe. Some of my favorite shows of all time have been cast into the awful world of cancellation. From the hilarious and poignant Freaks and Geeks, to the over-the-top (and apparently over people’s head) intelligent humor of Arrested Development to the [...]

Heading into the Olympics, the United States men’s hockey team didn’t really get a lot of respect. The Yanks were ranked far below the likes of Canada, Russia and Sweden and just below Finland and the Czech Republic. With a very young and inexperienced squad, not much was expected from this group by [...]

For those of us in the northeast, it may seem like winter is not even remotely close to ending. But, the first day of spring is March 20th, also known as the Vernal or March Equinox. It is now less than a month until spring technically begins. What styles of beer is spring known for? [...]

A lot of fanfare is made about the beginning of NCAA basketball and football seasons in the summer and fall respectively. Often overlooked by mainstream audiences are sports like Hockey, Baseball and lacrosse. Baseball and Hockey are pretty much only shown to a national audience during their respective post season tournaments. But college lacrosse (as of [...]

New Orleans Saints (15-3) Vs. Indianapolis Colts (16-2)

Time: Sunday at 6:25 PM EST on CBS

Happy trails to Kurt Warner. One of the greatest and most overlooked quarterbacks in NFL history retired this week. Warner was not even drafted in 1994 after completing his senior season at Northern Iowa. He was signed as a free agent by the Green Bay Packers, but was cut from the team in training camp. [...]

One of my favorite non “holiday” days of the year is Super Bowl Sunday. It really doesn’t matter if you like either of the teams. All that matters is that it’s party time.  Most people throw a party or better yet, attend some else’s (no post game clean up). Everyone I know, regardless of their [...]

Remember when everyone was talking about how the Jets backed into the playoffs? They needed to win their last two games and somehow got lucky enough to face two teams that had already clinched spots in the postseason. Indianapolis coach Jim Caldwell took out most of his starters with Indy holding a 15-10 lead in [...]

Oh, Mark Mcgwire. You did steroids, you say? I guess you just figured that it was your turn to come clean. Do you have a book coming out or something? What about that tearful speech in front of the Grand Jury where you said you had no knowledge of steroid usage in baseball? You claim [...]
