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 [...]
Joe Gibbs Racing is the Los Angeles Angels of NASCAR this off-season. The team has picked up three drivers that can each win a championship. Joe Gibbs Racing already had two championship caliber drivers with Kyle Busch and Denny Hamlin leading the way for the team’s NASCAR Sprint Cup Series program. After not having that [...]
NASCAR‘s problems with ESPN started way back when the two reconnected to create what was going to be a different type of broadcast, supposedly a more dynamic one. However, since 2007, ESPN hasn’t done their job and their contract is up at the end of next season. This could ultimately mean the end of NASCAR [...]
NASCAR drivers have some crazy personalities. Some fans love them, others hate them. NASCAR’s a sport for people who joke around a lot. It’s also a sport for people that have a dying passion for racing. Some drivers definitely don’t have limits. However, sometimes these limits are rather questionable. Look at when Tony Stewart grabbed [...]
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 [...]
It’s been something that legendary team owner Richard Childress has been contemplating for over a decade now. It’s something that has been questioned numerous times by the owner himself, as well as race fans across the globe. The question is quite simple and the answer should be coming within the next few months to the [...]
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 [...]
Fact: NASCAR drivers are insane. Fact: NASCAR drivers have more courage than most other athletes. Fact: NASCAR drivers are the most charitable athletes. Fact: not every NASCAR driver succeeds in the sport they all love and cherish. However, each time the checkered flag waves at the season finale at the Homestead-Miami Speedway, there are always a few drivers [...]
Not a single person in racing wants to see a start-and-park team in an event. Besides wasting a spot for a team that could actually be running a full race, the small, underfunded teams also basically steals the money from NASCAR after running just one fuel run. There were plenty of start-and-park teams over the [...]
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 [...]
It’s safe to say that young NASCAR drivers have plenty of talent. Look at Joey Logano, he came up to the Nationwide Series the week he turned 18 and now he’s the youngest driver to win a race in both the Nationwide Series and Sprint Cup Series, which is quite an accomplishment. Usually a rookie in [...]
