HOCKEY HIT OF THE WEEK – 2-27-12
This is why you have to keep your head up when you’ve got the puck. Ottawa’s Chris Neil lays Boston’s Johnny Boychuk out. The thing is, Neil was visible to everyone in the building for about three full seconds to be heading toward Boychuk, who apparently was the only one in the building who didn’t […]

Has anything ever flooded the airwaves of football conversations as much as the Peyton questions over the last few months? Everyone is asking the questions about whether or not Peyton will ever play football again. If so, will he be back with the Indianapolis Colts next season? If not the Colts, then who? Washington? Miami? […]

We’ve all heard the joke. “I went to a fight and a hockey game broke out!” In fact, one of the biggest complaints about the game, usually voiced by a non-hockey fan, is that there is too much fighting during the game. After all, no other sport allows this to happen without players being ejected […]

SUPER BOWL — WHY THE GIANTS WON
Wow, what a game! I was lucky enough to have been in great company while watching the Super Bowl. My better half and some very close friends. We were all glued to the TV until the very last second, just like the 113,000,000 other viewers that were not in Indianapolis on Sunday. Funny thing, though. […]
