By Chris Osburn • Apr 8th, 2010 • Category: At Play

National League East: Divisional Run-Down: The Philadelphia Phillies won the 2008 World Series and got all the way to the 2009 series, only to fall to the Yankees. They traded for Roy Halladay in the offseason, but traded away Cliff Lee in the process. They have one of the feistiest lineups and great bullpen. They [...]



[Sports] The Week in Sports #19: NCAA Hockey Surprise.

By Chris Osburn • Mar 29th, 2010 • Category: At Play, Sports

Rochester Institute of Technology: I doubt that name strikes  fear into any sports fans out there. That is unless they are fans of division one hockey and have been paying any attention to the NCAA tournament (Yes, other NCAA tournaments are being played). This program, only in its fifth year at D-1, will play in [...]



[OSBURN ON TAP] Smarch Madness

By Chris Osburn • Mar 24th, 2010 • Category: At Play, Columns, OSBURN ON TAP by Chris Osburn

“Lousy Smarch weather.”-Homer Simpson. The NCAA March Madness tournament is in full swing. Do you know what that means? It means that spring is quickly arriving and it’s time to start thinking about barbeques, yard games and the lighter side of beer. I know in some parts of the country snow is still a possibility, [...]



[REVIEW] SouthLAnd

By Chris Osburn • Mar 1st, 2010 • Category: Entertainment

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 [...]



The Week In Sports #18: Olympic Hockey Surprise.

By Chris Osburn • Feb 27th, 2010 • Category: At Play, Sports

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 the hockey [...]

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? [...]



[SPORTS] NCAA Lacrosse Preview 2010

By Chris Osburn • Feb 11th, 2010 • Category: Sports

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 [...]



[NFL] Super Bowl XLIV Preview

By Chris Osburn • Feb 4th, 2010 • Category: At Play, Sports

New Orleans Saints (15-3) Vs. Indianapolis Colts (16-2) Time: Sunday at 6:25 PM EST on CBS How they match up: This is a dream match up for the avid football fan. These teams stack up so well on paper that (for once) there doesn’t seem to be an overwhelming favorite. The obvious pick is the [...]



The Week In Sports #17: happy trails, Kurt Warner.

By Chris Osburn • Jan 30th, 2010 • Category: At Play, Sports

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. [...]
