My daughter called me this afternoon asking if I watched the Super Bowl parade and celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs and I said that I had just finished watching. She then asked me if I'd heard about the shooting. At the time I write this, one person is dead and 10-15 injured from a...

So everybody's feel good story, the Lions fell short of playing in their first Super Bowl (I was rooting for the Lions), and the Chiefs are in the Super Bowl, AGAIN (I feel as everybody is treating them as the new Patriots, can we get ANYBODY else in, I'm tired of seeing in THEM the Super...

Opening night of hockey season is tinged with a hint of sadness. It has been reported that Barry Melrose has retired from ESPN following a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease. His no-nonsense analysis was surpassed only with his knowledge of the game. He was a former player and coach, and was...

On this day 30 years ago in New York City, Jim Valvano, stepped up to the microphone after being awarded the Authur Ashe Courage and Humanitarian Award. He delivered a speech so empassioned and eloquent that it is celebrated as a masterpiece 30 years later. Jim Valvano led the North Carolina...

The Kansas City Chiefs, the team I've rooted for since I was seven years old are the Super Bowl Champs for the second time in four years! All in all, a great, very competitive game. The Eagles set a record for points scored by a losing team. And the end wasn't determined until the very end of...

Was watching the game tonight and with 5:58 left in the first quarter, a play had just taken place where Bills' defender Damar Hamlin made the play, got up and then collapsed on the field. I didn't see the play, only the aftermath. The stadium went silent. It was eerie to watch. It was...

Chiefs legendary quarterback Len Dawson passed away August 24th about two weeks after entering hospice. Thanks to Hank Stram's "moving pocket" offense, the incredibly accurate Dawson flourished, leading the AFL in passing four times in the league's 10 year history. He passed for 30 touchdowns...

I replied two hours ago on the forum about Nichelle Nichols passing away. Since then, I have learned about Pat Carroll (voice of Ursula in The Little Mermaid) AND 11 time National Basketball Association champion with the Boston Celtics Bill Russell, both passing away. Too many, too quickly...

In the west- Oilers vs. Avalanche - Even though I'd like the scrappy underdog Oilers with McDavid and Draisaitl, the Avalanche are on another level, and I think they top the Oilers in 6. In the East- NY Rangers vs Lightning - Again, the upstart Rangers are a fun bunch to watch but, the...

With all of the big named players changing teams during the free agency period, we are going to need a program to know who landed where and what players are with which teams!:confused: Barbershopman

I don't know about you but I'm going to need all week to recover from these games this weekend, All four games came down to the last play of the game. In three of them, the visiting team came in and took the game. I'm just happy the one home team that won was my Chiefs, BUT, they had to tie...

Sixteen years after what many fans saw as a slight, John Jordan "Buck" O'Neil was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame. . Back in 2006, just months before his death in October, he was instrumental in getting 17 Negro League players into the hall. He fell short of the 9 votes needed, but when...

The Astros dispatched the Red Sox and the Braves (somewhat surprisingly) bested the Dodgers. It's down to two-who ya got? While the Astros have the experience, I'm looking for the Braves to take it in 6, why? The Astros pitching staff shouldn't scare the Braves after they bested arguably...
