Why I’m Not A Football Christian

Does God know par­tic­u­lars? Before you answer that, take a moment to con­sider the ram­i­fi­ca­tions of the answer, both pro and con. Like answer­ing the ques­tion “Did you ever get caught mas­tur­bat­ing in the closet?”, any answer you come up with is a net loss if you’re a Believer (or a closet mas­tur­ba­tor). If you …

Thoughts on the US Open

Watch­ing the final holes of the US Open plus the post play inter­views, I was struck by the dif­fer­ence in the Euro­peans who were inter­viewed and the Amer­i­cans, specif­i­cally the num­ber one player in the world, Tiger Woods. French­man Gre­gory Havret, in a con­so­la­tion inter­view, was gra­cious and per­son­able. He talked about play­ing well, about …

Our Idiot Representatives

We are liv­ing in what can lightly be described as try­ing times and our Sen­a­tors think it is of utmost impor­tance to hold hear­ings on the Bowl Cham­pi­onship Series. We are rep­re­sented by buf­foons and self-serving ego mani­acs, crea­tures who must insert them­selves into every con­ver­sa­tion in a vain attempt to yell louder than their …

There’s No Crying In Football

It’s start­ing to look more and more like Jay Cut­ler is a big cry­baby He hasn’t done any­thing in Den­ver to war­rant being a diva but that isn’t stop­ping him from cry­ing to the media over the sup­posed slights that Josh McDaniels has hit him with. Foot­ball is a tough sport, you’d think he’d man …

Cognitive Dissonance

By now, I would imag­ine that most peo­ple around the coun­try who are tuned into news at all have heard about the 100–0 butt kick­ing that the Covenant School of Dal­las’ girls bas­ket­ball team put on Dal­las Acad­emy last week. Now, Covenant fired their coach over the affair which I find to be the most …

Definition Of Cache

Look, Plaxico Bur­ress is a bloody idiot. Let’s get that out of the way right now. If you don’t know who he is, no wor­ries, just know that he’s a foot­ball player who shot him­self in the leg. Fur­ther proof of his below-average IQ is that he makes some­where between a zil­lion and an ass­load …

Sportsmanship And Honesty Still Exist

One of the things I like best about golf is the fact that it is largely a self-policing sport. Play­ers are in charge of mak­ing sure they fol­low the rules and to a large degree, they do this qui­etly and with­out fan­fare. Some­times it makes head­lines. It’s refresh­ing to see, not only in sport, but …

RIP, Jim McKay 1921–2008

The sports world lost one of its lumi­nar­ies this week when Jim McKay, long­time ABC sports­caster, passed away. I always remem­ber his lines from the Wide World of Sports that I watched a lot when I was a kid and he car­ried him­self with more com­po­sure than most men could hope for when he cov­ered …
