MLB Family Feud ’13
Posted on 29 Mar 2013 by Steven Keys.
Wherever people cluster there are bound to be skirmishes. At the dinner table, school, the workplace, your barber shop, …any place people come together. It’s human nature: different brain-matter, different opinions and then the verbal wrangling ensues. Sometimes the tension runs like an undercurrent, out of public view. The conflicts that spring up can be as measured as a bow-shot at sea or...

NFL ’13 Conference Picks
Posted on 16 Jan 2013 by Steven Keys.
Breaking All the Rules First Jim Harbaugh adds Randy ‘Ipecac’ Moss to the 2012 49ers’ roster, a man washed-out & retired since being cut loose by New England, Minnesota and Tennessee in 2010. In Week 11 he changes horses mid-stream, benching a recently concussed veteran in QB Alex Smith (6-2-1) in favor of 2nd-year man from Nevada, Col. Kaepernick. And the piece de résistance: Jim em...

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 ...

MLB ’12: Year of the Skipper
Posted on 8 Oct 2012 by Steven Keys.
Whine-fest ‘12 Baseball’s celebratory red, white & blue banners still had creases in ‘em Friday night when one of its post-season entrants was quickly bounced from the festivities amid another firestorm of controversy surrounding game-officiating. This time it was MLB umpires, not referees, in the media cross-hairs getting lambasted after the Cardinals – Braves one & done, w...

Pick ya’ Poison: MLB vs NFL
Posted on 14 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Summer’s on the wane and there’s a nip in the nighttime air. That means three things: school is back in session, baseball is heating-up and the pigskins are flying. It’s a heady time for fans of America’s two favorite sports. Richard Kimble (The Fugitive) knew the score: “So, what are you, a football player, baseball player?,” asked the good doctor / janitor as he tweaked the orders...

Saints Joy Won’t Resonate
Posted on 9 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Congratulations go out to Saints’ linebacker Jonathan Vilma. Not for winning a vacation from his season-long Bountygate suspension he was handed by the NFL earlier this year, but rather, for his choice of celebratory shout-out. “Victory is mine!!!! -Stewie Griffin,” texted Mr. Vilma after he received the joyous news. Classy move, Jon. Had you quoted Bart Simpson instead I would’ve been ...

NFL Wish List 2012
Posted on 3 Sep 2012 by Steven Keys.
Dear Santa Claus: I know it’s still summertime, the season when you and the Mrs. are just getting back from your annual Elf-Awareness Conference in Puerto Vallarta, but I have a big favor to ask. NFL 2012 is set to kick-off Wednesday night (Cowboys @ Giants) and I have a few early requests that I’m hoping you can accommodate. I haven’t exactly been good this year, but I haven’t been bad...

Barry, JoePa & Record Books
Posted on 20 Aug 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s not everyday you read something good about the NCAA. Mind you, I’ve got no major gripe with the landlord of college athletics. Not too happy about their cozy relationship with profiteers (Nike) and relaxation of player-standards in recent decades, but other than those two, most of what they do flies above my radar. The NCAA is like your high school VP, a dirty job but someone’s gotta...

No-Hitters, No Wonder
Posted on 23 Jun 2012 by Steven Keys.
Everybody’s talkin’ (Nilsson), ‘bout LeBron, R.A. Dickey and no-hitters. While Kevin Durant’s Finals fade is fodder for debate, not much more worthwhile to write about His Magnitude, Mr. James until the leaves start to turn. As for the plethora of pitching gems, theories abound. Next time you go to the ballpark, better hold on to that ticket stub for you could be in possession of a litt...

Why Roger Goodell Reigns
Posted on 26 Apr 2012 by Steven Keys.
It’s a job that should come with a warning: “Careful what you wish for, you just might get it.” The hours are long, there’s nearly no off-season, travel-time is taxing, fan-mail is sparse and the endless speeches, interviews & negotiations vacillate between dreary routine and stress-city. But there is an upside. The pay is sweet, prestige is high, there’s job security (if you keep...

Scoring Ryan Braun’s Rumble
Posted on 28 Feb 2012 by Steven Keys.
Ryan Braun may’ve won the latest round in his fight with Baseball and anti-dopers over a suspicious urine sample but the final bell hasn’t yet rung on this slugfest. Here’s a round-by-round scorecard of the burgeoning brawl that began last fall. Round One: Major League Baseball (1-0). Braun’s 2011 October urine sample threw-up a big red flag. His testosterone reading was off the charts,...

Pujols Punctuates New Era
Posted on 31 Jan 2012 by Steven Keys.
You can’t see it, can’t hear it and can’t smell it, but it’s there. Baseball’s in the air. Spring training’s over a month away (MRD / 3-2) but the big deals are done and the temps are heating-up in southern climes. Before you know it the sound of ball smacking leather (Rawlings & glove) will fill the air at parks around the country. Until then there’s plenty of sporting fare t...
