Today, I caught the tail end of Jack and Jackie Harbaugh (father and mother of the Harbowl brothers) doing a press conference to a room packed with ravenous reporters. Apologies to my Ranters for not catching the whole thing. (Hoping to go to Beyonce’s tomorrow so stay tuned folks). Much thanks to Gatorade for getting [...]
The Tampa Bay Lightning set out on a mission to upgrade their defense this past offseason. They did just that, adding two veteran defensemen in Sami Salo and Matt Carle, who haven’t disappointed. Obviously joining a new team is never easy but both players, especially Salo, have handled the transition quite well. A former Vancouver [...]
The Seattle Mariners have been adding bats this offseason like they were going out of style. While many perceived that to mean that the team was happy with the projected rotation heading into 2013, it may have just meant the team was biding their time and looking for the right deal. With pitchers and catchers [...]
If ever the Indiana Pacers needed to win an NBA home game, it was Tuesday night against the Detroit Pistons who had a reason to be distracted. Indiana had lost three straight on the road and returned home to face a Pistons team that found out Tayshaun Prince and Austin Daye would not be in the [...]
The Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines tragicomedy as “a drama or a situation blending tragic and comic elements.” In my opinion, nothing could better describe the Manti Te’o hoax and the national freaking out that has gone along with it. This is both a comedy and a tragedy, and sadly it’s only been treated as a [...]
The Rhode Island Rams have seen better days. Rhode Island has not been to the NCAA Tournament since 1999, when Lamar Odom hit a 3-point shot in the Atlantic-10 Tournament to send the Rams dancing. In 1998, Jim Harrick’s Rams were all but in the Final Four until a series of plays and missed calls left the backcourt [...]
According to USA Today, students from Sandy Hook Elementary School will be singing America the Beautiful during the Super Bowl XLVII pregame show. Alicia Keys is set to sing the National Anthem following the students. The NFL is flying 26 students and their families down to New Orleans this week in order to prepare [...]
The week leading up to Super Bowl XLVII has been quite exciting for members of the Baltimore Ravens considering all of the questions surrounding Ray Lewis being linked to PED. However, the argument can be made that Joe Flacco has found himself in a more difficult situation after making inappropriate comments about his feelings towards [...]
Last week, Philadelphia Union midfielder Brian Carroll was named the captain for the 2013 season. Last season, he was the captain for a few games while Carlos Valdes was playing for the Colombian National Team. Carroll is the right choice for captaincy. He is a great leader on and off the field and has the [...]
In the announcement on Tuesday afternoon by Speedway President Joey Chitwood that they are proposing a face lift for the 53-year old Daytona International Speedway which was built in the late 1950′s, I didn’t see anything in the proposal regarding the back stretch. The back stretch seating which is called the Super Stretch, has been [...]
The Daytona International Speedway will have a new look to the famous race track soon. Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood announced the proposal during the Sprint Media Tour on Tuesday, which can bring a new era for race tracks across the country. Daytona has been around since 1959 and has had three face lifts since [...]
With the 2013 NASCAR season off to its unofficial start with testing sessions at Daytona and Charlotte, some drivers are getting their season started early in other competitions. The official start to the season begins with Speed weeks at Daytona International Speedway with the Sprint Unlimited, the Duels and the Daytona 500. This year some [...]
Last night I was sleeping pretty soundly dreaming of NASCAR as often happens when I am going through NASCAR withdrawal. I was dreaming of cars that were specifically made for driver safety. The area where the driver sat had more space inside. There were more roll bars in the frame around the driver in order [...]
The 2013 NASCAR season is quickly approaching. There are just a few weeks before the teams will enter the tunnel at the Daytona International Speedway to mark the start of NASCAR’s biggest race week that the sport has to offer. Testing will begin on Jan. 10 and will continue until Jan. 12 as 35 teams [...]
Every year the NASCAR season seams way too long and this year was no exception. But then after the Holidays the season doesn’t seem to be long enough. The NASCAR withdrawal season begins in earnest right after Christmas although some lucky people manage to make it to after the New Year’s. This year we are [...]
Brian Keselowski hasn’t raced much since making the 2011 Daytona 500. Keselowski raced his way in during the second Gatorade Duel before the Daytona 500 that year and made headlines across the country for it. Not many folks remember that race, but Keselowski certainly does. It was Jeff Burton’s last win in any NASCAR sanctioned [...]
Over the years the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series has made its way to several different tracks over the country. The NASCAR Sprint Cup season consists of 36 races plus the Daytona Shootout, the Duels, and the All Star race, each bringing their own unique style of racing and excitement. Several of these tracks consist of [...]
After a vigorous schedule of 36-races, plus two non-points races, not including the qualifying duels to set the field for the Daytona 500, the NASCAR season has come to an end. The season had just 216 cautions, down from the 278 yellow flags thrown in 2011 which does explain the large amount of fuel strategy [...]
The first of three presidential debates occurred last evening. Mitt Romney out dueled President Barack Obama in stunning fashion, creating discussions throughout the country today. How about we bring this presidential debate system into NASCAR? Yeah, it may sound stupid but it can get some good ol’ rivalries back into this sport. We need another Dale Earnhardt Sr. and [...]
