I had nursed the faint hope that perhaps sports imperialism in the form of pro athletes in the hockey portion of the Winter Olympics would due out because the NHL would not alter its season to accommodate the pros in the Games.  But alas (as I am in many areas since I got married!) I […]

I have blogged that Botswana ought to have a national curling team.  Set up some Olympic-quality curling ice in Gaborone (say about 8 sheets or so) and then do try outs.  But nobody can curl in Botswana, Sandy?  It would take 50 years to have a competitive team.  I disagree. If you get a name […]

I was amazed last evening while waiting for the walkout of Romney’s acceptance speech by the Ron Paul delegates that never occurred.  I was amazed to hear one of our genuine sports heroes, Mike Eruzione, one of the captains of the Miracle on Ice hockey team, say Mitt Romney saved the Olympics.  Yes that Mike […]

Chicago values might not include Chick-fil-A but this writer (Gerald D. Skoning) gets it right about the basketball!  A few highlights: Stern said he hopes to make the Olympics a 23-and-younger event, returning it to the college kids and NBA players with only a few years of pro experience.

The youth and up and coming players […]
