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 [...]
I don’t believe in moral victories in nearly any circumstance but there are some positives that fans of the Northwestern Wildcats can take forward despite the final score they saw Wednesday against the Michigan Wolverines in Ann Arbor. Several times in the 2nd half the Wildcats were right there as Michigan refused to shut the [...]
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 [...]
Chase Elliott is a 17-year old driver with a legendary last name. Yeah, he’s definitely getting places, that’s for sure. The son of 1988 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series champion, Bill Elliott, is moving up the NASCAR rankings at a steady pace. Elliott, who signed a development contract with Hendrick Motorsports in 2011, is headed for [...]
NASCAR’s super team is getting stronger, well at least they seem to be. Hendrick Motorsports is known as the powerhouse team in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series. They have four drivers, each of which are clear contenders for the championship as the green flag for the season is waved annually. In 2012, Hendrick Motorsports drivers [...]
There is always something that NASCAR fans must talk about. For the last 10-years or so, that something has been Dale Earnhardt Jr. Before him, it was Bill Elliott. Even before him, there was “The King,” Richard Petty. It’s a trend that occurs in the NASCAR world with a transition of roughly every 15-20 [...]
If there ever was a driver that suffered with NASCAR’s COT car, it was Jeff Gordon. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the stats for the 41 year old driver of the Dupont Chevrolet since the beginning of the 2008 season. Of the 87 career wins for Gordon, and the four Cup Championships, only [...]
I was very impressed with what I saw from NASCAR’s most popular driver in the 2012 Sprint Cup Season. Dale Earnhardt Jr. went from a person who was blaming everyone and everybody for his failures on the race track, to a driver who was finally in control of his life, and his legacy. Dale Earnhardt Jr’s success in 2012 [...]
No NASCAR Championship in 2011 for five time Champion Jimmie Johnson and no championship again this year. It wasn’t for trying. This year it was almost like Jimmie Johnson and his crew chief Chad Knaus were toying with us. After a 42nd place finish at Daytona the pair came back with two top five finishes. [...]
Kevin Harvick, the 37 year old driver of the No. 29 Budweiser Cheverolet for Richard Childress Racing has accomplished everything he can, and it’s time to move on. With speculation that Harvick will move to Stewart Haas Racing at the end of the 2013 season, I find it hard to believe he hasn’t jumped ship [...]
Everyone who follows NASCAR, including Kasey Kahne, was waiting for the 2012 season to begin. Kasey was finally starting his season with Hendrick Motorsports (HMS) in the iconic No. 5 Chevrolet after over a year of waiting. It goes without saying that the expectations were high. I hate to use an overused phrase but if [...]
Jeff Gordon and the No. 24 AARP / Drive to End Hunger Chevy team started the 2012 NASCAR season as always trying to match and/or beat Jimmie Johnson the team that he owns. Every team starts the season trying to match and/or beat the No. 48 team. It wasn’t going to happen right from the [...]
Dale Earnhardt Jr. had dismal NASCAR seasons since he moved to Hendrick Motor Sports. He was able to win a race at Michigan International Speedway in June of 2008 but then only made the chase two of the first four years. In 2011 Dale was paired with crew chief Steve Letarte and together they were [...]
