Friday, 7/14 Quick Hitters

-I have a true dilemma going into Sunday’s final match at Wimbledon. Though I know NOTHING about tennis, I placed a futures wager on Marin Cilic at 24-1 to win the tournament in late-June. Well guess what, he’s now in the final! So help me here…do I hedge or let it ride? Give me your […]

Friday, 7/7 Quick Hitters

-You know the sports season is rough when I can truly say that watching players I’ve never heard of at Wimbledon is somewhat entertaining. I’m going with Marin Cilic to upset and win the Men’s Singles and Caroline Wozniacki on the Women’s side. -Then again, what the hell do I know about tennis…? -Anything Wimbledon […]

All NBA-related today as the draft certainly lived up the entertainment value many of us predicted. -The Suns got their 1st round pick correct (for once)…with the roster they currently have in place. I’ve made it clear that I’m a big De’Aaron Fox fan, the point guard from Kentucky. But with Eric Bledsoe apparently on […]

Friday, 6/16 Quick Hitters

What’s going on in the sports world as only I can see it… -This year’s Golden State Warriors were the best NBA team of my lifetime. There…I said it. How can you argue? They had FOUR ELITE PLAYERS, including two of the top five in NBA. And as long as Kevin Durant stays a Warrior, […]

Friday, 6/9 Quick Hitters

A sampling of what’s on my mind in the sports world this week… -Bob Stoops leaving Oklahoma doesn’t surprise me in the least. The timing of the announcement, after spring practice, and in early-June is stunning. While his teams have been successful, his penchant of choking in bowl games and not playing for a national […]

-Wait – you aren’t that person who thought Cleveland had a chance to beat Golden State this year, are you? If so, you do realize all of the reasons why the Warriors will dispatch of the Cavs in 5 games or less: Revenge from 2016’s Golden State choke job. Kevin Durant is now on the […]

Friday, 5/26 Quick Hitters

A sampling of what’s on my mind this week… -How great was the Penguins-Senators Game 7 last night? As a sports fan, whether you like hockey or not, you had to appreciate the passion, intensity, and high-level skills displayed as the teams played over 85 minutes of hockey. -As if there was any doubt, Mike […]

Friday, 5/19 Quick Hitters

My weekly wrap-up of all that’s good and not-so-good in the sports world: -Here’s the winning trifecta for Saturday’s Preakness Stakes. You’re welcome in advance. 1st: (4) Always Dreaming – should win by daylight if he runs similarly to the Kentucky Derby. 2nd: (2) Cloud Computing – Been firing bullet workouts since his 3rd place in […]

Friday, 5/12 Quick Hitters

-Someone please tell me how and why the Rockets lost by 39 points at home last night when the Spurs were playing without arguably two of their top 4 players? -And no, James Harden didn’t quit on his team. Don’t we all remember previous Mike D’Antoni teams collapsing in the playoffs? (Hint: think Suns – […]
