Yesterday, I was watching UAB basically shit the bed at the end of the game while leading by 3 against New Mexico… …TWICE! So, I had to opine. Basketball coaches have to be smarter than this.

JFK had interest in buying the Philadelphia Eagles

And how I make super-hypothetical sports leaps...

I’ve always been interested in how singular events change the course of history.  Especially in sports. For example, with the St. Louis Rams, what if Mike Jones didn’t make “The Tackle” at the goal line against the Tennessee Titans in Super Bowl XXXIV?  The Rams may not have won the title without it.  Dick Vermeil,...

Auburn fans go nuts in restaurants, too

I bet the chicken taste better after this...

Here’s the security camera footage, via @SportsCallAU, of a Locos restaurant in Alabama as the Auburn Tigers won in one of the most improbable pass completions ever last week. Hostesses: please do not handle the silverware while watching the Auburn game.

Mike Matheny’s extension comes after unprecedented run

From Little League to World Series in two years

Of my time in St. Louis, I believe my biggest public mea culpa has been reserved for Mike Matheny. When Tony La Russa retired and John Mozeliak hired the former St. Louis Cardinals’ catcher to take over one of the most prestigious managerial jobs in Major League Baseball, I was astonished. Matheny, while apparently being...

SEC East title isn’t only destiny Mizzou controls

What a wild three weeks this could be for the Tigers

Missouri football, an SEC team, controls their own destiny in the SEC East.  But that’s not the only place where they control their own destiny. Back to that in a moment. I was doing a radio interview today (which is weird, because who wants to do a radio interview with an unemployed guy?) in which the...

The Kevin Ware Mini (I think)-Controversy

For the Louisville-area followers...

There are a number of things that irk me about the Kevin Ware story of him getting a speeding ticket awhile back, in a car that wasn’t his, and missing his court date.  This isn’t anything real in-depth.  It’s just a couple of things that are top of mind right now.  Here they are in...

Panthers-Patriots: It’s not about whether it was PI or not

We're missing the point with the Panthers-Patriots finish Monday Night

The following is a sentiment I’ve seen in a lot of places over the last 18 hours regarding Monday night’s finish in Carolina between the Panthers and the Patriots: If the ref had not thrown a flag, no one would have ever mentioned it. — Dan Le Batard Show (@LeBatardShow) November 19, 2013 First, Dan...

What I’ve learned after losing my sports radio job

A lot about myself and a lot about this industry

There have only been two times I’ve truly been without a job in sports radio.  The first time was when the sports radio station I worked for was sold to a Christian radio company and was flipped. The other is now. The first one doesn’t really count in my mind.  This one, obviously does. Here...

I am a huge John Groce fan. To me, he makes Illinois basketball about as likeable as possible for an Indiana fan like me. So it is with great sympathy and hilarity that I watch this video and share it with others. I’m so sorry, #IlliniNation.

PODCAST: Franklin is QB for Mizzou Football, again

Do you dance with who brought ya?

James Franklin was the quarterback for Missouri football before he was injured. But should he be now, when we don’t know how is throwing shoulder is going to be upon his return with the two biggest regular season games in the Mizzou program’s history coming up?
