What happened to the Indianapolis 500? Growing up, it was such a big deal. People all over the city would hang “Welcome Race Fans” banners. There would be parties to watch the race at houses with satellite dishes that had the east or west coast feed. Today, hardly anyone in Indy even seems to get excited anymore. Today, as Danica Patrick signs her new three-year deal with the Andretti’s, keeping her from bolting to NASCAR [...]

This time of year, we always end up back into the same old tired argument about a college football “playoff”.  It’s not my intention here to drum that up once again; I’m sure you’ll get your fill of it from other outlets.  I want to broaden our horizons a little bit, and talk about what it means to be a “true” champion.  That’s the term that’s always thrown out when someone makes an argument for [...]

This NFL season there has been a lot of hype about the final two “unbeaten” teams. And while it would be Super to have two undefeated teams duking it out in the last game of the season, the probability of this happening is 0.00152% with 8 total games remaining for both.

Brown has been successfully running the wildcat offense for the Miami Dolphins for approximately two seasons to the tune of 4.8 yards per attempt in 2009. The “Wildcat”, also known as the Wild Rebel, Wild Hog, Wild (your teams [...]

Obviously, the controversial call in last night’s Colts-Patriots showdown was Belichick’s decision to go for it on 4th and 2 at his own 28 – just before the two minute warning, while nursing a 6 point lead.  Most people seem to think it was an egregiously bad call – I’m here to play the contrarian. First, let’s put this game into context – because that’s what the Patriots are best known for.  Every week, week-by-week.  [...]

Are LeBron James’ actions unprecedented or foreshadowing? Over the last couple of nights, LeBron James has begun a career path for himself that does not seem to include Cleveland, OH. James is one of the most talented, most well-known and also most well spoken young players in all of sports, not just the NBA.
