For the fourth U.S. Open in a row, some on from south of the equator took home the top prize; this year, it was Angel Cabrera of Argentina. Cabrera captured the title by firing off a fourth-round 69, which was good enough to hold off Tiger Woods and Jim Furyk by a stroke. Woods had [...]

With the NBA finals coming to a merciful end and the NHL awards show uneventfully concluding, two seasons have effectively come to an end. Well, unless, of course, you want to include the NBA draft into this season but then we’d just be arguing over semantics. So with those two (I won’t say major because [...]

An interesting tidbit that I feel fell through the cracks of the sporting world’s sewer into obscurity occurred three days ago. Chamique Holdsclaw retired only a few games into the WNBA season. Do you care? Of course not. But this woman was supposed to be the female Michael Jordan or, at least, one of brightest [...]

I’m actually really happy that the boringest day in sports didn’t have the luxury of hosting the 200th post for this humble blog, but, truth be told, I wouldn’t have posted if it was.
It looks like the sporting Gods found a way to come back after my last post asked if June 11 was [...]

You should know by the fact alone that the Spurs went into the half with the third largest lead in the finals ever (up 58-33) that this game was never going to go the Cavs way.
LeBron played down to about the level he was at during the first two Pistons games or the first of [...]

Way back when the Blue Jays ace was a man named Dave Stieb, it was a simpler time; no steroids, PEDs or greenies were on anyone’s mind, just good ol’ fashioned baseball.
During the late-80’s, Stieb had become the go-to guy on the Jays and was well deserving of the extremely rich contract Toronto threw his [...]

King James was shut down by the brutally efficient Spurs last night in San Antonio. We knew this would happen and there shouldn’t have been really anyone who actually picked the Cavs unless you are a naive LeBron fan of a Cleveland die-hard.
LBJ was confined to 4-of-16 shooting and only had 4 points going into [...]

Tonight kicks off the final push towards the most sought after prize of the NBA, the Naismith trophy. I would love to be able to say that I am looking forward to it but, all in all, I am honesty very apathetic to the whole situation. All that this series will accomplish is illuminate how [...]

Anaheim’s 6-2 win last night gave the NHL their first Stanley Cup champion ever from the “Golden State” and their first Pacific coast champion since the Victoria Cougars won the trophy way back during the 1924-25 season. The Ducks win also snaps the streak of either Canadian teams or the Detroit Red Wings winning the [...]
