3/2 - “When I grow up, I want to be a sideline reporter”

I wonder if this is something that little girls someday dream of becoming.  After all, at least half of all NFL (and other sports) sideline/field reporters are female.
The thing is, most aspiring careerists who go through broadcasting school I think would prefer to be in the booth, doing play by play.
As much as women have [...]

2/24 - “If no risk of casualties, where I’d like to be during an earthquake”

This post is unrelated to Haiti, so don’t yell at me, or give me the whole “it’s too soon” routine….
Anyway a bowling alley.  For sure.  Bowling alley.
Suppose I decide to get seriously into bowling.  Eventually I’d start gambling on games.
I’m midst of a game with high stakes, I’d be about to attempt an important throw [...]

2/22 - “There’s no excuse for seats with obstructed views”

There’s no excuse for this.  Especially not in 2010.  Why does seating with obstructed views still exist?  (Yankee Stadium, Citifield, others)
Are stadium and arena architects really this stupid?
You’d think if millions, possibly billions of dollars went into a project, that all seats would come with a view of the entire playing surface included.
I can’t wait [...]

2/10 - “Defending the bridge (bitchstick)”

Anytime two guys are playing pool, and one of ‘em reaches for the bridge, undoubtedly the other will immediately give him (me) shit.
“You’re using the bitchstick!?”  This is likely what will be heard.  In all the years that I’ve been playing pool, I’ve heard the term bitchstick used countless times, but never really have received [...]

2/6 - “Maybe you’re better when you ACTUALLY place the bet!”

Before the Jets/Colts AFC Championship game a couple of weekends ago, friend of mine Dave Wheeler said he was seriously considering putting money on the Jets.
Well, in the end it was wise of him not to, since the Jets not only lost, but failed to cover the point spread as well.
“I woulda lost,” Dave proclaimed.
With [...]

1/30 - “Defending celebrity Lakers fans”

Right around the time just before Pau Gasol was traded to the Lakers a couple of seasons ago, I started to really watch Lakers games regularly on TV.   I guess I consider myself a faux-Lakers fan.
Lakers and their fans often get a lot of shit, because in addition to me, many fans aren’t considered “real [...]

1/24 - ” Missed call”

Sad to say that earlier today the Jets season came to an end vs. the Indianapolis Colts.  It was an unbelievable run though for the Jets, and I’m quite proud of my team.
Anyway, I watch the games at Q’s Billiards over in West L.A. —- which is my Jets bar.   For about 3 hours, I [...]

1/17 - “Football hijinks”

For anyone who reads this and knows absolutely nothing about American football, you’re going to be entirely confused.
For the rest of us, we’re all aware that a fair catch is when a receiver of a punted/kicked ball decides to just catch the ball, and accept field position at the spot of the catch itself.   The [...]

9/26 - “What if Chad Ochocinco gets traded?”

Bengals wide reciever Chad Ochocinco, formerly Chad Johnson wears #85 on his uniform.   We all know that “ochocinco” is 8-5 and not 85, but let’s forget that for a second….
With his name now legally Ochocinco, what happens if Chad gets traded to another team —- and the number 85 isn’t available.  Perhaps it’s retired, or [...]

9/7 - “Jets fans are nomads…too”

It’s just about finally here — the start of the 2009 NFL season.   As I do every year, I’ll predict that my NY football Jets will go 10-6.   Not sure if that will get them into the playoffs, but just like countless predictions I’ve made before in previous seasons, 10-6 it is!
Out here in LA, [...]
