Yes, whatever I can call it – the NCAA BB tourney (men’s and women’s [Go Green Bay Phoenix and Notre Dame!]) is in full swing. I tried to get Liberty the win but they fell short last evening. I found a great show that features two of my favorite sportswriters: Tony Kornheiser and Michael Wilbon […]

I am still concerned about the Olympic Games. I have not backed off a bit: It’s still sports imperialism to have pro athletes at the Games because not every nation can field a professional team or train pro athletes in sports like tennis. But I realize that the IOC, the USOC and the moneyed interests […]

…teams like Oral Roberts (I am suspicious of how schools like Oral Roberts and Liberty are treated after the infamous selection of the undefeated Liberty women to be a 16th seed several years ago.), Drexel and perhaps Nevada over Texas, South Florida and maybe NC State. As the announcer said on the selection show yesterday, […]

It must be that time of year again: Sandy rants about how the NCAA field is not fairly selected. Well, it still isn’t! I have suggested that Division I coaches and ADs should NOT select the NCAA field but rather Division II and III coaches and ADs. Yes, I know they have to leave the […]

If you had said I would agree with Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari in the next year or maybe ever, I’d say sure – when a six mile asteroid (sufficient to kill the dinosaurs) hits the Earth! You better look up. The sky is falling. Coach Calipari wants to have the leading 64 or 72 […]

1924 was a great year. My legal hero, John W. Davis was nominated for President (only time I’d voted Democrat) but was crushed in November by another great President, Calvin Coolidge. Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams ran to Olympic glory and gold (and Liddell glorified Christ by not running on the Sabbath). The Macy’s Thanksgiving […]

I’m going to do my yearly NCAA tournament rant; it was good for Rick Santilli, maybe the result will be a real change this time. This is a fascinating article in regard to the extreme effort that the ten selection committee members have in making sure their choices are legitimate, quality, justifiable bracket picks. Should […]
