When I was a kid, I faithfully did my chores to earn my $3 allowance each week. What I chose to spend my hard earned money on was something many young boys did… baseball cards. My mom took me to the grocery store for each week’s grocery run and I promptly headed to the aisle […]

Earlier this week, I ran across a story detailing a recent cheating episode within race car driving, specifically NASCAR. Seriously… as if there were any doubt whatsoever as to that fact. Cheating is rampant among all of our competition sports. I’ve written previous articles about athletes utilizing performance enhancing drugs to keep up with their […]

As you know from some of my previous articles, I’m a sports fan. Well, sometimes I would classify myself as a sports nut as I’m sure my wife would concur. Next Tuesday, July 15th, is the Major League Baseball All-Star Game. If you are not familiar with how players are chosen for the game, it […]

Now that you are all adequately caught up on my affinity for sports, I’ve decided to give you some more reading entertainment regarding sporting activities. As you can see from today’s title, it’s stupid superstition. Superstition in sports, no way right! Even the least informed sports watcher or aficionado knows all about the superstitions when […]

I’m not sure if you all know, but I have always been a sports fan. I enjoy most sports because I enjoy the heat of competition. Over the years of my life, I have spent countless hours playing basketball, baseball, softball, and bowling just to name a few of the activities. Sports used to be […]

Admission Of Guilt

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,743 views | Reading Time 5:22

It seems like over the last few years, we have seen a pretty large increase in the amount of sports figures “admitting” guilt about using performance enhancing drugs and substances. Not quite a coincidence that testing is continually getting better and people are coming forward with previous “secret” information. It also seems that the sports […]

I’m not sure how closely you pay attention to sports and the salaries that players make, but there was a news story this week that tweaked my internal eye. The first quarterback taken in this year’s NFL (professional football league) draft just signed his first professional contract. You may want to prepare yourself here for […]

What in the world is this article going to be about, super models? No, definitely not. What I want to talk about is from a suggestion I received the other day. What is my point of view on celebrity and athletic role models? I gave a short answer in the suggestion comments, but I wanted […]

At What Cost

by in Everyday Nonsense | 2,484 views | Reading Time 4:34

I recently ran across an article on ESPN that I instantly felt the need to write about. At least I wanted to give my personal opinion on the matter. I know that the sports world relies on winning. If you don’t have a winning team, then attendance dries up, revenue goes away, and players won’t […]

Vindicated Review

by in Book Reviews | 3,995 views | Reading Time 3:20

Let’s go for a book review today. I just purchased the latest Jose Canseco book titled “Vindicated” and have been reading through it. It’s a follow up book to his first book, “Juiced: Wild Times, Rampant ‘Roids, Smash Hits, and How Baseball Got Big.” His first book was published in 2005, before the congressional Mitchell […]
