For the regular tourist, Florida is the home of Mickey Mouse and friends. You fall in love with the adventure parks in Orlando, Universal Studios not far behind. The weather is an obvious plus, of course, but for me and my zero children it seems like a long trip for a couple minutes of swinging [...]

If you spend 14 days in New York and two in Boston, you figure the latter would be less exciting. I proved that theory very wrong this month. I travelled to Boston on Tuesday, 8th of September, not fully aware of what the city had in store or who I would meet over the course [...]

Deflategate is officially a world issue. There are rumours it will be brought up at the next G7 summit. Thanks Tom, as if Gisele Bündchen didn’t get enough attention. And didn’t you just win a fourth ring? Please. A sport that has become saturated in the United States and over the course of a year [...]

There is something that the powers that be do each and every April – I have now opened the floor for a separate debate on whom or what those powers may be – that make the world we live in a sunnier, warmer and frankly beautiful place to live. At least in baseball terms, you [...]

The NBA’s 82nd round of games was the consummate way to set the table for the postseason, which begins on Saturday. On the final day of the regular season, New Orleans beat out the hottest team in the league – San Antonio, who had won 11 straight – to clinch the final spot in the [...]

With the bright sunshine insisting we are on the cusp of spring, two of the most ridiculous, prolonged but greatly followed and loved events are beginning. Spring Training and the NFL combine; two humorous processes that we love to talk about but which we should always remember to distinguish. For you couldn’t ask for two [...]

“We want to win and we want to win in a hurry.” Those are the words of Rex Ryan, the eighth head coach in the past 18 years in Buffalo, striking out the media – who would greatly receive The Outspoken One – with serious cheese. Whiff. Did the Bills hit a home run? Well, [...]

My predictions have gotten to a point where predicting that I will be wrong is the safest bet. The Packers did not defeat the defending champion Seahawks in Seattle. Aaron Rodgers did not go into CenturyLink Field, silence the 12th man and lead Green Bay to a convincing win. What on earth was I thinking? [...]

The 2014 NFL season gets underway tomorrow. Didn’t anybody tell you? For the avid football fan, it doesn’t as much get underway as it does explode at you like a Marshawn Lynch defense-splitting run through the trenches. I shouldn’t really advertise the skills of ‘Beast Mode’, The Beast Who Cared The Least when he delayed [...]

Before we go on, a stat for you. Only once since the Browns returned to the NFL in 1999 have they had a quarterback start in all 16 regular season games. He goes by the name of Tim Couch, and that was 2001. That’s just a small nugget for you as everyone weighs in on [...]
