We are 17 games deep in the opening round of the World Cup and we can take away a lot from the games thus far. First of all we know that the vuvuzella’s sound dead-on like bumble bees. They are loud, they are slightly annoying, and the soccer players hate them. However, FIFA said they ain’t [...]

It may not be the Revolutionary War or the War of 1812, but it might as well be on Saturday, when the good ole US of A takes on the English Red Coats, who they are 2-7 all-time against (Ouch). The two teams have only faced one another once before in the World Cup when the [...]

So I’m up in this series, 2-1, by picking the Lakers in all three games. Game three, the deciding game, saw the Lakers win by seven only two points off my prediction of game five, which brings us to the fourth game of the series. Boston has to have this game or they are finished, plain [...]

With early reports of the Cornhuskers jumping ship to the Big 11 Conference on Friday, the NCAA Conference landscape is getting ready to go through a huge scramble. All [...]

Game three is the decider. In the past ten NBA Finals when the series is split at 1-1, the winner of game three has gone on to win the title. I’m not saying that if Boston or L.A. wins tonight they are locked into winning it all, but what I am saying is that if [...]

So the Lakers dominated in game one and came away with a 13-point victory at home, only points off my prediction of seven. Pau Gasol and Kobe Bryant were both spectacular as the Lakers role players did their thing to contribute to a blowout in the opener. We learned in game on that Gasol isn’t the softie that he was in [...]

After a long lay-off from watching basketball (nearly two months w/o viewing a full game) I figured that the NBA Finals will be a good return to action and bring back WIGAW in the process. So here is my take on game one in LA. The big plot of this series will be the rivalry [...]

Let’s be honest, when the Cleveland LeBrons went down to the Celtics in the second round of the ’10 NBA Playoffs, David Stern zoned in on a Lakers-Celtics NBA Finals. Stern loves the big market teams facing off in the Finals and was hoping that Orlando didn’t take down the Celtics for the second year in a row [...]

I don’t claim to be an expert on the Florida Marlins. Even though they are in the same division as the Braves, I don’t know about their players as much as I should. I now Dan Uggla, Josh Johnson, Chris Coghlan and their two World Series Championships and I know that Hanley Ramirez is freaking awesome. These [...]

So this week all the craze in MLB was the Unwritten Rules of Baseball, most notably, “Thou Shall Not Cross the Pitcher’s Mound While Running Back to the Dugout.” I personally was unaware of the rule, but it did make sense to me. Dallas Braden of course took exception to one Alex Rodriquez crossing his [...]
