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 [...]

The Peterson Principle 4/16/12

Tim Peterson
There are a lot of surprising things that have happened on the sporting scene in the last week. The Lakers have gone 4-1 without Kobe Bryant, the Kings have jumped out to a 3-0 series lead on Vancouver and the Dodgers are off to a 9-1 start to open the 2012 season.
But the most shocking [...]

Arroyo HC Jim Singiser's option regarding the CIF Playoff proposals? "Get better"

It looks like they’re out of options. Well I guess there is one. When Arroyo Coach Jim Singiser was asked if he had any other options now that CIF has denied the MVL appeal on the new Division playoff grouping proposals [...]

The TEN 12/28/2011

(“The Ten” is not a top ten, but ten items worth being included in The TEN)
1.) Billionaire Steven Cohen, an East Coast hedge-fund executive, is the latest candidate to jump in the bidding war for the Dodgers.                   
2.) Tom Brady is just 188 yards away from passing Dan Marino on the single season passing list. [...]

The Peterson Principle 8/1/11

They tried to get Kuroda to waive his no trade and he said no, no, no.
Amongst all the baseball trade deadline deals there is one that jumped out the most. It was the deal that did not happen. It did not happen because the player that was the center piece of the deal didn’t [...]

This is a column I didn’t think I’d have to write. You see my deadline is Sunday and on Saturday May 21 I figured I would be raptured out with the rest of the Christians. It didn’t happen. Wow, what gives?
Harold Camping – sounds like a defensive lineman for the Atlanta Falcons back in [...]

Can Kobe and the Lakers bounce back?
It’s not that shocking that the Lakers lost to New Orleans in game one of their playoff series. What is shocking is that numerous pundits, and nearly all radio talk show hosts thought that a Laker sweep was a foregone conclusion.
The fact is this team isn’t great. The Lakers [...]

The Peterson Principle 4/4/11

Tim Peterson
Opening Day at Dodger Stadium was a bust. It was a total disaster. Oh it was memorable all right. It will be remembered as the day a horrific event took place. The problem is it seems like it’s starting to be common place.
The weather was great, the Dodgers won and I’m sure the Dodger [...]

The Peterson Principle 3/29/11

Tim Peterson
I’m usually excited about the start of baseball season. I was looking at a baseball preview Sunday and suddenly realized opening day is Thursday. In the midst of March Madness Major League Baseball wasn’t on my radar.
But indeed it is here and I’m trying to find a reason to watch. I’m usually pretty pumped [...]

Jose Lima had recently rejoined the Dodger organization
Jose Lima had made the transition that many athletes are never able to make. After 13 years in the big leagues and numerous stints in the minor leagues, Dominican leagues and leagues here and beyond, he had retired. While other athletes can’t accept life away from the playing [...]
