The World Cup, like no other sporting event on the planet, can turn even the most reasonable people into raving xenophobic bufoons. I am not immune to this desire. I have been known to give myself over to the dark side and baselessly despise an entire country based entirely on my 3rd or 4th favorite sport. […]

It’s the top of July.. it’s hot.. and the only semblance of the big 3 sports is middle-season MLB.  This is the time of the year for the NFL, NBA, and NHL (to a certain extent) alternatives make their big TV pushes.  Some might argue that golf and tennis should be included as major sports […]

I managed to corral an interview with Dave Warner of FanHouse and Dave’s Football Blog (DFB) last week. DFB is among the most innovative and interesting ideas for a blog in the blogosphere. Essentially, he writes about football in it’s various forms around the world and does it […]

I’m very excited about US-Mexico match today, so I decided to live-blog it.
