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 [...]
Trey Burke had a big game against Northwestern on Wednesday night. But he hopes he saves his very best for Saturday when No. 1 Michigan visits No. 3 Indiana in NCAA basketball action. Burke scored 18 points and had eight assists in a 68-46 win over the Wildcats. All attention keeps focusing on Satuday so it was in Burke’s favor to not [...]
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 [...]
Brian Keselowski will attempt to qualify for The Daytona 500 once again. The lesser known of the Keselowski brothers has never struggled with speed, but has struggled to find consistent sponsorship and technical alliances. However, things were different for the 2011 Daytona 500, Brian’s last attempt at The Great American Race. There, with help from [...]
There are storylines that most people really don’t care about. The newest storyline that will get a lot of attention is in NASCAR with Danica Patrick dating fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse. I will begin by saying that Danica is obviously getting over her divorce very quickly and moving on but this was the next obvious [...]
The 2013 NASCAR season is about a month away, and there is one story that just proves how bad our economy is really doing. Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s No. 88 car is still unsponsored for 13 races this season. If any driver should have sponsors on his car, it is Earnhardt and what shocks me is [...]
It’s great to turn on the Speed Channel, and actually see some racing activity. Preseason Thunder got underway on Thursday morning from Daytona International Speedway, and the afternoon session was carried by the Speed Channel. Race teams are testing all of the specifications with the new Gen 6 car prior to the season opening Daytona 500 next month. [...]
As the days to the 2013 NASCAR season-opener approaches, another opportunity for Michael Waltrip to race for another win is within reach. With the 2013 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season set to begin at Daytona International Speedway for the Daytona 500, Waltrip will be making his return to the race. At the season opener, Waltrip [...]
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 [...]
As the days of 2012 are coming to an end with 2013 around the corner NASCAR is just a few days closer to getting back on the track. Before the new year and new season begin and before brand new memories and stand out moments start to happen, the 2012 season provided some memories that [...]
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 [...]
NASCAR Camping World Truck Series driver, Norm Benning, has been fined by the sanctioning body. The fine probably stuns most avid NASCAR fans that realize the already small budget Benning and his team have. According to a press release from NASCAR, Benning was an offender of “Section 20B-2.3A: (any weight added to the truck must [...]
Every NASCAR driver races as hard as possible each week, but, their fortunes aren’t in their own hands, they are in the hands of each other. These could be, and probably are, the best race car drivers on the face of the Earth. However, after giving it their all for over three hours, they [...]
