Who the hell would have ever expected me to say that? Well, it’s true. I think I’ve come to realize why so many athletes thank “The Lord Jesus Christ” after a winning clutch performance.
There’s a term “god-given” talent. While developing athletic talent into greatness surely takes hard work, just consider the following idea.
No musician was [...]
Yeah, I’m gonna go there.
If you look at the current abortion policies nationwide (which I haven’t), what we pretty much have are laws that differ from state to state. With this issue being such a controversial one, giving the states the right to decide how to handle abortion is probably the most fair, to everyone.
When [...]

Yesterday at the Indians game, a fan actually entered the ballpark in Cleveland wearing a LeBron James Miami Heat jersey. With Cavs fans and the city still reeling after LeBron’s heartbreaking and disappointing exit from town, perhaps this wasn’t the best decision to wear a Heat jersey at a Cleveland sports venue. Indians fans chanted [...]
It seems the latest trend (the past decade or so) in movie theaters is “stadium style seating.” What stadium-style means, is essentially “most or all seats are placed higher than the seats immediately in front of them, so that the occupants of further-back seats have less of their views blocked by those further [...]
I find it a little strange in sports that male athletes are constantly patting each other on the butt to congratulate each other after a job well done. I’m not saying that this makes the “patter” or the “pat-ee” gay or anything, but surely the congratulatory butt-pat is a bit homoerotic.
Why not just a pat [...]
Charlie Manuel, manager of the Philadelphia Phillies should now be considered one of the most vile and disgusting people in the world.
In baseball, since his team went to the World Series last year, this year he gets to choose the reserve players for the National League All-Star team.
Well, he left Reds first baseman Joey Votto [...]

I suppose this isn’t the most timely post, with hockey being over now, but randomositiness is a big part of what you get here.

Hey, I support the locals, and it would be awesome if the United States of America shocked the world and won the whole thing.
Sure the rest of the globe would be upset and angered, but hopefully not too much so, and they’d all get over it…
I merely want the world to be annoyed by us. [...]

Even though his head and body are now probably located in different zip codes, Ted Williams was once not only a spectacular baseball player, but also a financially savvy human.
According to a buddy of mine, the long-time Boston Red Sox legend used to try to pay for stuff using personal checks as much as possible.
His [...]

Sometimes I’ll be watching a sporting event on TV, when in the midst of a game, the camera will focus on a couple in the stands. I’m not referring to an ordinary couple here, but to a guy and a girl who are wearing apparel of the teams playing each other — often bitter [...]
