Have you moved off the couch for the last week and a half? If you’re a football fan, and aren’t we all? it’s been heaven with a bowl game nearly every night followed by the start of the NFL playoffs this past weekend.

Ok even though 2012 is drawing to a close and another year is upon us I won’t go into what gift a coach should have received for Christmas or what a player’s New Year’s resolution should be. It has definitely been done before and is a tired act at this point. But I will go […]

It’s not that the basketball in the San Gabriel Valley is that bad. If you look you can find some pretty good players on some pretty good teams. I’m not saying that you’re going to find Mater Dei or Crenshaw like talent here in the SGV, but for the most part you can find some […]
