The first Major League Baseball Spring training games will be played today and hope springs eternal as a new season begins that this year will be the year your favorite team goes to the World Series. But what are the chances that that will really happen? Which teams win the most often? The New York Yankees, [...] Is it just me or are the televised Vancouver Winter Olympic events really boring? I was sitting in a restaurant having lunch with friends yesterday and on the television was NBC covering the biathlon. The biathlon is basically a combination of cross country skiing and target practice with rifles. For hours there were videos of [...] With the Vancouver Winter Olympics upon us, get ready for a lot of pomp and circumstance set to music. The theme most of us associate as the theme of the Olympics isn’t the official Olympic theme. That piece, with it’s beginning timpani cadence and distinctive brass theme, is Leo Arnaud’s Bugler’s Dream. It was written [...] All professional athletes are coached to pretty much say nothing original when they are interviewed by the media.

But, how many people really do follow the game? Apparently America is a nation of football lovers. 65% of American men and 39% of women follow pro football. December 7th is NBA basketball player Larry Bird’s 53rd birthday. Now, while Larry was a great basketball player for the Boston Celtics in his day, I don’t think anyone ever considered him to be one of America’s sexiest guys. On November 17, 1968, millions of American football fans were watching the New York Jets battle the Oakland Raiders in a game aired over NBC. At 7:00 p.m., with a minute left to go in the fourth quarter and the Jets protecting a 32-29 lead, NBC programmers aborted the telecast to begin a regularly schedule [...] November 5th is the anniversary of the first shattered basketball backboard by an NBA player, but you might be surprised to learn who did that. The first NBA backboard was shattered during the pregame warm-up in the Boston Garden in 1946 by, then Boston Celtic, Chuck Conners who also played baseball with the Brooklyn [...] |
