ESPN loves a good Tebow story, even more than a John Wall 47-point performance
John Wall scored 47 points for the Washington Wizards on Monday night in the team’s 107-94 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. With that, “Wall is the first player to record at least 47 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds in a game since LeBron James recorded 51 points, 8 assists and 11 rebounds on February […]
The tweet that Deadspin left out
March 15, 2013
Deadspin posted a story Thursday stating, “ESPN has suspended [Bill] Simmons from Twitter for a few days after he called the Skip Bayless-Richard Sherman First Take meltdown last week awful and embarrassing.” In the piece, Deadspin’s John Koblin points out two tweets Simmons sent: I am not defending this segment – youtu.be/j6x-O3kb1sI – I thought […]
Catholic University vs. Washington Wizards
November 28, 2012
Who will draw a bigger crowd at home tonight in DC, the NBA’s Washington Wizards as they host the Portland Trailblazers or Catholic University as they host Frostburg State? That was the topic discussed earlier on Twitter between 106.7 The Fan’s Sky Kerstein and Holden Kushner, who then provided the photo evidence: Here is your […]
NASCAR should fine Clint Bowyer the way the NBA did Kobe Bryant for his slur
November 13, 2012
NASCAR is looking far from impressive for the way they’ve handled an incident that occurred over the weekend, when driver Clint Bowyer said that opponent Jeff Gordon’s actions on the track made them and their fellow racers “all look like a bunch of retards.” From sbnation.com’s Jeff Gluck: After speaking with NASCAR officials about his […]
My question for the New York Road Runners Club and Richard Finn
November 2, 2012
I do not envy the organizers of the New York City Marathon and the decision they had to face this week. But a statement I read by them today isn’t the type of thing that’s going to earn any more of my sympathy. A quote appeared in a New York Post story, “This is no […]
Who needs a pep talk (or at least a good reason to bash some subpar Yankees fans)?
October 13, 2012
If you’re looking for something blaming blown fan interference calls from years ago or foul poles for Orioles playoff losses to the Yankees, you might want to close your browser now. You won’t find that here. For any of you who saw the Orioles get knocked out of the playoffs by the Yankees Friday night […]
Over 20% of Yankee Stadium’s seats for Game 5 of ALDS are for sale on StubHub
October 12, 2012
About 30 minutes after the Baltimore Orioles defeated the New York Yankees in Game 4 of the ALDS to force a decisive Game 5 Friday in the Bronx, I checked StubHub to see what seats are available for it. I can’t get over what I found: There are more than 12,000 Game 5 tickets for […]
StubHub before and after Jayson Werth’s Game 4 walk-off home run
October 11, 2012
Around the time the Washington Nationals’ Jayson Werth was rounding the bases after depositing a Game 4, 9th inning, walk-off home run into the St. Louis Cardinals bullpen, I checked StubHub for tickets to Game 5, which will decide who moves on to face the San Francisco Giants in the National League Championship Series. That […]
Under new wild card system, Orioles are right where they’d be with the old one
October 6, 2012
Before Major League Baseball expanded its playoff format this year and added a second wild card team in each league, the sole wild card winners in both the American and National Leagues would open the playoffs against the team with the best record in their league. Under the old system, if two teams finished tied […]

It will take place March 30-April 1 and they’re raising money for a great cause too: Kick-It, which was started by a child cancer patient and raises money for children’s cancer research through charity […]
