MLB 2013 Wish List
Posted on 11 Dec 2012 by Steven Keys.
Dear Santa, I know December’s a crazy time for you, especially with new super-shops in Costa Rica, Estonia and Dandong (China) churning out the goodies at record pace, but it won’t take a minute to read my list. Besides, these wishes are for the good of the game, so do what you can, Santa my man. Old Time Baseball Wish # 1: More Mike Trouts In the aftermath of one of the most hotly debated ...

Tebow in God’s Country?
Posted on 21 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s the answer to John Elway’s prayer. Peyton Manning signed to a 5-year, $96 million contract with the Denver Broncos. (Bag) two birds with one stone, is the proverb. With Peyton on board, Elway instantly elevates his club to contender-status (Vegas 8:1), while also creating cause to ship-off his run-first QB without incurring great wrath from Cult Tebow. Tim’s been an albatross around ...

Howard Spoils Media Bash
Posted on 17 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
They had on their paper-hats and the streamers were ready to pop. The jets were warming up on the tarmacs waiting to fly masses of media onto Dwight Howard’s new digs. Then Superman crashed the party. Came in through the wall, as usual. Even with all the guff LeBron James takes from scribes, deep down inside, the media really loves the dude. Why? He gives ‘em the one thing that matters most...

March Madness’ Seamy Side
Posted on 10 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
There’s the good “Cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs” March Madness: that’s the quality play, the buzzer beaters, Mr. Vitale, Cinderella stories, Selection Sunday. And there’s the bad, the King George III Madness: the superfluous post-season conference tournaments. Call it the seamy side of March Madness. The time when love for the game gets bounced outta’ the gym and love of money slithers int...

Colts Could’ve Had Cake
Posted on 7 Mar 2012 by Steven Keys.
Have your cake and eat it too. That’s the maxim. Translation: You can have the best of both worlds, you can have it all. Origin: I’m guessing Marie Antoinette of “Let them eat cake” fame. She, the Queen of France and wife of Louis XVI, both fatalities of the French Revolution (1789) who bravely met the guillotine for their love of cake. That’s an over-simplification and probably a b...

N.Dakota Braves Mascot War
Posted on 20 Feb 2012 by Steven Keys.
What’s in a mascot? A lot more than school spirit if you live in the Great Plains State of North Dakota. The pride & passion of many in the Peace Garden State is riding on the outcome of a lengthy legal-war that supporters of the University of North Dakota’s Indian logo are waging against the NCAA and its PC-agenda on athletic mascots & monikers. More maneuvers earlier this month (...

Colts Dealing Out Peyton?
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
Peyton Manning is in unfamiliar territory. For the first time in his long, accomplished career, the NFL’s version of John Wayne is unsure what his future holds. If there’s any truth to recent media reports Peyton’s employers are seriously considering handing him his hat anytime soon. It makes me think a little of Jodie Foster. That’s right, Ms. Foster, the Academy Award winning actress ...

NFL Hunch Line: Tebow Rising
Posted on 11 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
Timbo’s back in the bloodstream. This was suppose to be a Peyton Manning or Albert Pujols piece, but Mike Tomlin’s mishandling of his gimpy, star QB Ben Roethlisberger in the regular season helped keep the story alive & kicking. Tebowmania’s been resurrected. The Broncos not-so-improbable win Sunday over a battered & bruised Steelers squad gave new life to Tebowmania and made the ...

Elway’s Tebow Dilemma
Posted on 5 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
John Elway’s in a real pickle. On the one hand, he let himself get swept-up in Tebowmania, making a 2012 verbal commitment, of sorts, to his 2nd-year starting QB: “Tim Tebow's not going anywhere…he's going to be a Bronco.” (AP / 12-20). And he surprisingly did this when the Tebow tide was just starting to ebb. On the other hand, since the Broncos’ VP of football OPs jumped on board th...

NFL Hunch Line: Adieu Edition
Posted on 31 Dec 2011 by Steven Keys.
There’s something about the end of a regular season, something kinda’ sad. Sure, the playoffs are electric. That’s the whole point, right, win a championship? As coach Herm Edwards would’ve said, “That’s why…we play…the game,” to win titles. But we hear it ad nauseam. Players and coaches sound like robots, week in, week out: ‘It’s all about the Super Bowl’ or ‘Nothing ...
