It’s Not What I Would’ve Wanted But There You Have It ………..

Sports questions that I’ve thought about recently

3rd and Manageable, 10-24-08

Time for a real post: Time for L-Rod to Go!
O.K. I had a warm-up yesterday with my first post, now it’s time to talk sports. And, in my sports life, the team I have ridiculed and mocked more than any other team has been the Detroit Lions. The only time they ever get mentioned in the news...
Why The Dolphins Are Legit
My boys are back! Aqua and Orange are once again fashionable, though I’ve worn my colors proud all along. Now understandably, after going 7-27 over the 34 games preceding this little spurt of success, there is a little skeptici...
Sunday Shots - Jokers and Chokers
Well…shit. The Eagles did it again. Philadelphia Eagles 17, Washington Redskins 23 For the second straight week, they let a game slip away because of their inability to punch the ball in from the red zone. The Eagles came out looking sharp agai...
NFL Business As Usual and RSB Fantasy Sports
Going into week 5 things are getting back to normal in the NFL. Marc Bulger is back under center in St. Louis. Al Davis fired his head coach. Ricky Williams wants to smoke weed. New Head Coach of the St Louis Card…..whoops, St Louis Rams Jim Ha...
Week Four Picks
Last week had another entertaining slew of games and, after a week of thinking the Italian government may have blocked realsportsbloggers (Fascists don’t like free-type websites) we’re back! So here’s a quick look back at how poorly...

Bad Move, Again
Why did I drive 3 1/2 hours to go to a freaking NFL practice—not preseason—game. $3.70 a gallon, and I thought it would be a good idea to go watch the starters play one half of a game. I could see going once, but I’ve been several t...
