Cliff Lee vs. C.C. Sabathia? I'm in.I know it's rare, but I really think we've got the two best teams in baseball going for the World Series. I like the Phillies' lineup and rotation (although, I'm not sure about Pedro...

Sorry this is a bit late today -- had a migraine last night, took a couple of pills and was out for the count -- saw enough of the Dodgers-Phillies to know what was going to happen and was snoring...

I think I've mentioned before that I'm a fan of Brian Kelly. The guy is one of the best coaches in college football today -- just what he's been able to do while at UC shows that.But one of the...

I'm not going to say I told you so... but, well. I did.I think a lot of people overlooked the Texans because they're the Texans. In the end, the Texans didn't lose in the final seconds and the Bengals didn't...

(Editor's note: damn it, I forgot to hit publish this morning....)As soon as a year ago, this would be considered the "biggest game in school history" for the UC football team. They had about five of those last year. Not...

I had a discussion about this the other day -- does baseball need umpires? Really, the only reason I came up with is tradition and human error. How stupid is that? Basically my response was because that's the way it's...

CLEVELAND, Tenn. -- Well, the drive to the Georgia coast (different route than Sherman, but no less taxing) gave me a lot of time to think about the health care debate... I keed, I keed.No, seriously, despite what happened here...
