People who’ve been following this blog know that it’s extremely rare to see a hockey rant in these parts. It’s not that I dislike hockey. I’ve attended plenty of games in person and I think it’s the best spectator sport in the world. Living in Raleigh and Washington DC made me a fan of the…
Once Again, the NFL Is Off the Mark with Protests
The people who know me well know how much I love the NFL. How much I look forward to preseason games in August, leading to the ultimate crescendo known as Week One.

The World’s Quickest 2018 NBA Playoff Preview: Conference Finals
