A hell of a basketball coach who ran some really solid programs with some memorable teams “It was a unique experience, I’ll tell you that, and I loved every minute of it,” said Saint Louis guard Kyle Cassity, who was mostly a backup on last season’s 26-win team after starting for Majerus earlier in his [...]

Eagles fans don’t blame King Dunlap: he was supposed to be cut
Posted on November 14, 2012 ·
King Dunlap was supposed to be cut. He wasn’t supposed to be on the Philadelphia Eagles. Then Pro Bowl Left Tackle Jason Peters tore his achilles twice in the off season. The Eagles signed Demetress Bell from the Bills (who was already on their radar to counter balance Peters at LT) to start at LT [...]
Not Griffin, Not Luck, but Russell Wilson
Posted on November 13, 2012 ·
Cold Hard Football Facts asks “where’s the hype?” and I have to agree. Any barbershop talk I’ve been involved in is about Griffin and RGIII but not Russell Wilson, here is their case: The biggest story in football is that a charismatic but under-sized 5-foot, 11-inch, 205-pound, third-round draft pick who makes chump change by [...]
On firing coaches midseason and hiring Super Bowl Winners
Posted on November 5, 2012 ·
If you fire a head coach or defensive coordinator mid-season, then the season is all but over. By the time a gm or owner gets to firing a coach mid-season you’ve admitted you let a better candidate get a job somewhere else, you have wasted hours of practice time under that inadequate coach and you [...]
On Canceling Sporting Events in NY/NJ this weekend: Remember “A Nation of Wussies”?
Posted on November 3, 2012 ·
I’m glad Bloomberg realized what an error it was to push on with the NY Marathon while large parts of New York were still without power and unable to clean up toxic and unsanitary flood areas in their homes. I still think the NBA games being held this weekend in New York and the NFL [...]
On Canceling Sporting Events in NY/NJ this weekend
Posted on November 2, 2012 ·
Everyone wants to cancel the marathon, but there are a lot of other sports being played in New York for money this weekend while large parts of New York and New Jersey are without power and/or basic services due to Sandy. I guess, what the great “no marathon” debate shows is that the Marathon is [...]
On Juan Castillo, ex-eagles coordinator…

Nets jump to New York illustrate The Perils of Mortgaging your city for a Sports Stadium
Posted on October 15, 2012 ·
Looking past all the excitement that millionaire Jay-Z took the subway. Newark leased the Newark Airport and the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for $200m. All of this money was used to build the Prudential Center for the New Jersey Nets and the New Jersey Devils. Now the Nets have up and bolted to [...]
Only so much ESPN you can trust
Posted on October 15, 2012 ·
“No one at ESPN will tell us what happened. Certainly the NBA office isn’t going to tell us what happened. One of the quotes from ESPN in there – we had discussions, but couldn’t agree on a role … as is usual, that’s a bunch of BS from ESPN. source: Stan Van Gundy rips ESPN [...]
This cuts across all humanity as it concerns awful phrase stealin’ Mitt Romney and one of my favorite TV Shows of all time: Friday Night Lights. Well at least filmmaker Peter Berg , the cousin of former Democrat Buzz Bissinger, knows Mitt Romney is a snake! In a letter to the Romney campaign sent Friday and [...]
“This is a game that’s going to cost us a lot down the road.”
Posted on October 12, 2012 ·
Ricky Watter’s, best known here in Philly for the infamous utterance of “For who, for what?” and not his stellar play will have his number retired this year. Ricky Watters’ mind is broken, too. Watters is among the legion of players involved in concussion litigation against the NFL. He said he had dozens of concussions, [...]
