What can you say about this guy?  He was simply the best at what he did for many years. And he did it with class the whole way. Not only will Yankee fans miss this future Hall of Famer, but baseball will miss him more. There are not enough players like Mariano in the game. Without question, one of baseball’s all-time greats.

Giants-Broncos recap The Giants were trounced in their home-opener against Denver 41-23. The big brother showed the little brother how to carve up a defense, and little brother showed big brother how to be careless with the football.

This certainly has to go under the tab of “entertainment” as it was one of the funniest shows on television the past few months. In particular Anthony Weiner attempting a political comeback after embarrassing himself online with his shirtless selfies. The gall of him to try and run for one of the most high profile politcal jobs in the country after his ridiculous escapades. You have to tip your hat [...]

Serena Williams won her 5th U.S. Open Grand Slam event today at Flushing Meadows. But not without a battle (almost 3 hours) by a gutsy and determined Victoria Azarenka. Serena won the trophy which she deserves, but Azarenka won respect as well. Hopefully the men’s championship is as good. It will be. But this will be hard to top. Well done ladies!

The intent here is to not deny this historic event, but to shed light on the events that lead to this terrible moment in our history. It is most certainly worth the read. Whether you like Bill O’Reilly  (however, let’s not minimize Martin Dugard’s contributions to this book!) or not, this is an easy read and has an incredible insight to the thinking of an insane man (JWB) and what would [...]

Well, we have seen some sleazy coaches in the NFL, but we now have a new #1. “Coach”…….hard to use that phrase for Rex……Ryan has been trying his best to get the axe. But unfortunately for him, the owner of the Jets has no clue about running a football team and will keep him on to finish the complete demolition of the New York Jets franchise.  Rex putting Mark Sanchez in [...]
