I watched the Tennessee Titans lose to the Miami Dolphins yesterday afternoon, 29-17. The Dolphins lost their first- and second-string quarterbacks—the two hanging Chads, Pennington and Henne—to injury during the game, yet the Titans couldn’t take advantage of the situation. Miami’s last QB standing, Tyler Thigpen, finished off the victory, looking savvy and determined and making me wonder—after

Nats Win! Nats Win! (Sort Of): Rangers Offer Redemption for Aging Senators Fans
Posted on 11:33 AM by ergeg
My brother Steve has a baleful saying: “We’re gonna die just in time...” It is his commentary on being a certain advanced age—older than 40, at least—while experiencing the absurdist, wrongheaded and presumably irretrievably corrupt sociopolitical state of the world in general and the U.S. in particular. In other words, things are so bad that death looks good.
Normally, I agree with this

Sucking Their Way to Respectability
Posted on 9:33 PM by ergeg
It’s been a long time since this blog has seen any action. Let’s skip the whys and wherefores. Instead, let’s get right down to engaging in our favorite sport: knocking sports media.
There’s always so much to dissect and ridicule, but some tidbits from Saturday’s TV coverage should suffice.
It’s hard to know who to begin with: Cornball has-been Dick Enberg or super-weenie, speech-impedimented

Strasburg Doesn't Disappoint in Nats Debut
Posted on 11:48 PM by ergeg
In 1971, the Washington Senators broke my young heart when they up and moved to Texas to become the Rangers. The caliber of baseball pretty much sucked in hometown Washington, D.C., but I still loved the Senators. They were my team. When I moved to Chicago, I got two teams for the price of one, Cubs and White Sox, and that was okay by me. Since I wasn't a Chicago native, I didn't bring any of

Start Spreading the News: NFL Bosses Will Find Worm in Big Apple Super Bowl Decision
Posted on 12:31 AM by ergeg
The worst thing that ever happened to this country was 9/11. Not only because thousands died in the WTC terrorist attack and Bush subsequently fought a stupid war, but also because that event put New York City back on the map in a real obnoxious way. Increasingly, in the last couple of decades leading up to 9/11, Americans were more and more discovering the values of Sun Belt, or more southerly

You Gotta Play to Win—The 2010 Kentucky Derby
Posted on 9:36 PM by ergeg
By Steve BradyThe interesting thing about this year’s Kentucky Derby? The horse I think is best equipped to win it didn’t even get in. SETSUKO is only 1 for 8 in getting to the winner’s circle, but he has been showing steady improvement with each start, and has a powerful closing kick that I thought would give him a strong chance against this field. He also had one of the most visually impressive

His Heart Belongs to Daddy
Posted on 4:21 PM by ergeg
Sometimes the smallest little news items can grab your attention. Such as the AP story today stating that Kevin Gilbride Jr., son of New York Giants offensive coordinator Kevin Gilbride Sr., has been added to the Giants' coaching staff.This kind of blatant nepotism wouldn't be so bad if Jr. had a competitive resume. I mean, really, isn't making it into the NFL coaching ranks the dream of many a
