I’m not an NBA fan, and yet I couldn’t help but comment on last night’s NBA Finals game between the Miami Heat and Oklahoma City Thunder. LeBron James has been vilified more than Richard Nixon and I’m still not entirely sure why. Don’t get…
The WSJ is reporting that the USADA (United States Anti-Doping Agency) has brought charges against Lance Armstrong. I really did think it was over when the US government decided not to move forward with charges. Heck, I even wrote about it. I guess there…

Where to start? Austin Rivers declares for the NBA: Talk about my dream come true. I wrote recently about how Austin Rivers was just plain bad for Duke. Rivers is a nice kid. He’s got a great Dad. He should be a great pro…
Multiple sources are reporting that Andy Pettitte is returning to the Yankees for the 2010 season!
