I’M BACK FROM A SHORT 2017 SUMMER HIATUS

It's time for me to get back to work and talk about sports again. After a short summer break, I'll be rolling out the articles again just in time for the new College Football and NFL seasons. | July 25, 2017, 1:48pm ET

NFL – TOM BRADY’S LEGACY AND DEFLATEGATE; SUGGESTED RANKING SYSTEM FOR SPORTS CHEATERS

After the "Deflategate" scandal, I came up with a ranking system that focuses on rating cheaters in pro sports based on the damage they may have caused to the integrity of their sport. | May 12, 2015, 4:42pm ET

WHY I PREFER WINTER OLYMPICS OVER SUMMER

I get giddy every time the Winter Olympics return, probably even more so than the Summer Games. But, I don’t think I’m in the majority and, I don’t really understand why. Recently, at a family gathering, we had a discussion about which of the Olympics we preferred.  I was surprised to learn that most people ...

NHRA – THE FASTEST, MOST DIVERSE PRO SPORT IN THE WORLD

Imagine this: You’re sitting behind the wheel of an NHRA Top Fuel Dragster at the start of the next race. You have a helmet on, fire suit and gloves, and you’re strapped into the fastest race car on the planet.  Your dragster rattles and rolls under the weight of 8,000 horsepower waiting for your cue. You ...

MLB – WHY THE YANKEES WILL WIN THE 2013 AL EAST

A funny thing happened to the American League East division during the off-season.  Suddenly the Toronto Blue Jays became the favorite to take the division from the New York Yankees and win the World Series. How can that be when in 2012 the Blue Jays finished 22 games behind the Yankees, who incidentally had the best ...

NFL – 2013 SUPER BOWL PREDICTION

UPDATE, FEBRUARY 5, 2013:  Result - The Ravens beat the 49ers, 34-31.  The only solace I have postgame is knowing that my gut was right- this game was close & could have gone either way.  Unfortunately, costly mistakes & turnovers by San Francisco were the difference.  If only the 49ers could have been ...

MLB – UNCERTAINTY LOOMING FOR YANKEES FANS

I’m a Yankees fan and I feel insecure about the future.  There, I’ve said it.  It’s hard to admit a thing like that. Frankly, I’ve never really felt this way before. As a lifelong New York Yankees fan and someone in their 40s, I’ve only ever known feelings of hope and security when a new season was on ...

NFL – THE MOST DISAPPOINTING TEAM IN 2012

No, the NY Jets are not the most disappointing NFL team in 2012 to me.  But, one could definitely build a case for them. Their 6-10 season was an embarrassment for the whole organization and fan base.  The Tim Tebow experiment backfired and created confidence issues in their #1 quarterback.  Unfortunately, this ...

ARE SPORTS JUST A SOURCE OF DIVERSION?

If you’re a crazy sports fan like me, you’ll understand what I mean when I say that my husband gave me that look last Sunday evening. You know- the look that says you’ve been spending waaaaay too much time with sports today. So, I decided to brush it off, but then I took a look around.  On the couch next to me ...
