Pudge on the Brink of Baseball History: But Will the Fates Be Kind?

Posted on 3:00 AM by ergeg
Thanks to my brother Daniel, I'm the proud owner of an Ivan ("Pudge") Rodriguez bobblehead doll. I'm a big Pudge fan, and in the summer of 2010 I went to see a Washington Nationals game in D.C. with Daniel and his three sons, along with my best old high school buddy, John.

The Empire Strikes Back: The Force Is With Serena Williams at the U.S. Open

Posted on 2:56 AM by ergeg
It’s no surprise to avid tennis fans that Serena Williams is dominating at the U.S. Open. With her intense demeanor and occasional bear-like roars, Serena is the women’s game’s Darth Vader, seemingly capable of choking her rivals merely by thinking about doing it.

In what might be considered someone's clever bit of conceptualizing, the Terps are now essentially sporting the state flag of Maryland. It's a rad look, actually--especially the helmets--and the initial karma the uniforms brought was in the form of a

Live Long and Prosper: Vulcans from Cal (Pa.) Continue NFL Invasion

Posted on 12:12 AM by ergeg
With its undergrad enrollment of approx. 7,000, California University is situated in the southwestern corner of Pennsylvania, kind of in the middle of nowhere, approximately halfway between Pittsburgh and Morgantown, W. Va. The school competes in NCAA Division II football in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference, and while the Vulcans have experienced on-field success in recent years, their

Reality Check for 2011 Titans: Mediocrity on the New Horizon

Posted on 12:28 AM by ergeg
[Editor's note: Later on the same day after this story was published, the Titans announced that veteran wide receiver Justin Gage had been released from the team, and that fullback Ahmard Hall had been levied a four-game suspension to begin the season for testing positive for performance-enhancing drugs.]

Like many a Titans fan, I would love to believe that 2011, with all its personnel changes
