Considering that I’ve only made one post over the last 2 ½ months, you would have thought I’d slipped into hibernation mode. After all of the weird, stupid or just plain unbearable things that have gone on in that time, I kind of wished I’d had. Unfortunately, I’ve had to endure the same ridiculous stories […]

Now that I’ve got your attention, let’s talk NCAA basketball. I know what you’re thinking. “Wichita State? They’re a #9 seed. Who in their right mind would make such a bold (and crazy) statement?” Okay, that’s a legitimate question. Maybe I’m not in my right mind. Or maybe I just don’t believe that Wichita State […]

What a wild ride that first week was, huh? And this weekend’s games should be even better. All things considered, I felt pretty good about picking twelve out of sixteen teams correctly to make it this far. I know, 75% won’t make you much money in the betting world, but there were a lot of […]

It’s that time again. March Madness! Time to scour all of the data from the past four months for 68 different teams. Time to be repaid for the countless hours of dedicated research, watching every conceivable NCAA Division I basketball game available to mankind since Thanksgiving-ish.

As I was enjoying my self-induced exile, I couldn’t help but listen to the experts bringing up the same old […]

Is it just me, or has the sports world in the great state of Arizona been turned on its head over the past couple of weeks? I’m not just talking about the house cleaning that was done by the Cardinals. The craziness has infiltrated nearly all of the major sports venues. We’ll take a look […]

Okay, now that I’ve got your attention, take a deep breath. That’s right, in then out, in then out. Now, put down that club and let’s talk about this! I know what you’re thinking. I’ve lived in Phoenix for several decades. How could I possibly think that this was a good move for the Phoenix […]

I’ve been saying for the past several months that I really don’t care about this year’s NBA season.
