(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)

The Peterson Principle 5/7/12

Tim Peterson
Magic Johnson, in my humble opinion, is the best basketball player ever. As a 6’9” point guard he literally changed the game. He’s only the only player I’ve ever seen that could score only two points and still dominate a game. He had the ability to make everybody around him great. He won [...]

Off The Cuff: September 11, 2009

Good news, bad news for Dodger fans last night.

We will go with the bad and inform you that the Rockies won again. The Los Angeles lead is now a two-game lead.

On the bright side, Dodgers didn’t drop another game playing. That may have had something to do with the travel day and not [...]

Off The Cuff: September 10, 2009

My choice for the Super [...]

Can the Bengals finally co-exist with each other?
These questions will take months [...]

Off The Cuff: August 2, 2009

After a much deserved break I return to give you my usual opinions.

I give you sad news to begin this wonderful column.

The Arena Football League as we have come to know and love is done. It is folding after taking the 2009 season off to re-structure.

This news came with the a status update on [...]

Quick Scans: 7/30/09 Edition

by John Scanlan

So there goes that idea. I said on the Mid Valley Sports Show this past Tuesday that there wouldn’t be any major deals. That notion was proven wrong when the Phillies acquired pitcher Cliff Lee from the Indians for 4 prospects. Ironically enough, none of the prospects traded were what the Blue Jays [...]

Quick Scans: 7/29/09 Edition

by John Scanlan

The Dodgers posted their first 3-game losing streak of the season when the Cardinals downed them 10-0 last night. It’s pretty difficult to almost get to August before losing 3 games. They still have an 8 game lead, so it’s not time to get on the bus for Panicville.
The Giants acquisition of 1B [...]
