On Sunday, rednecks everywhere will be glued to their TV’s as they watch the final race of the NASCAR season. The race will be filled with drama as Jimmie Johnson is looking to hold off Jeff Gordon to win a trophy, some cash, a trailer, shotgun, big mouth bass and most importantly, a cold refreshing 12 pack of Busch beer that will leave him with an earth shattering hangover.
There should be lots of interesting plot twists here as several guys who drill lug nuts may be switched to the role of gas pumper. One thing that will not change is that the drivers …read more

Well, the writers are on strike, OJ is back in the courtroom and wouldn’t you know, it’s on TV…again! Back when all this initially went down in September I wrote that this would be the falls biggest TV hit. 
Watching OJ back in the courtroom evokes so many memories from my youth. When he got away with murder I never really imagined he would ever be back in a courtroom facing very serious charges again. But sure enough, he is!
This whole ordeal is filled with a shadier cast of characters than the Cincinnati Bengals NFL (National Felony League) football team. Every single person involved here seems to have committed …read more

When the Miami Dolphins and New York Giants took the field at Wembley Stadium in London this past Sunday, it marked the first time that a regular season NFL game was ever played in Europe. It was a pretty exciting event aside from the fact that Miami ended up entering the game 0-7 and after the game was played there was a lot left to be desired. In fact, the London crowd booed while the NY Giants knelt to end the game while ahead 13-10 in the final seconds.
Giants “star” quarterback Eli Manning went 8-22 for a paltry 59 yards! Even the annual Army-Navy college …read more

Well, its been 13 years since a Monday Night Football game has been played in Buffalo and at the rate the Bills are playing it could be 13 more before the next one. Tonight the Bills face off against the Cowboys, a rematch of Super Bowls XXVII and XXVIII, both of which Buffalo lost of course.
The fans and players will be pumped but with all the Bills injuries it will almost surely not be close to enough. But as a die hard Bills fan, it’s great to see a Monday night game back in Buffalo!

Yesterday marked the end to Barry Bonds 15 year career with the San Francisco Giants and it could not have been any more fitting. Bonds did not dress for the final game in Los Angeles and didn’t bother to stick around to watch, leaving in the first inning.
Bonds was upset with the organization for “being fired” and not understanding why he wasn’t given more than 2 weeks notice. He proved that he should have been re-signed to uber millions on a bad baseball team by exiting with typical Barry Bonds dickishness.
Barry hopes to bring his ego and depleting skills back next year with another baseball …read more

Notre Dame fans finally had something to cheer about as they saw their Fightin’ Irish score a season high 14 points and came their closest to a victory this season, losing only 31-14 against Michigan State on Saturday.  
The 14 points were more than Notre Dame managed to score in their previous 3 games combined, having only scored a total of 13 in those. So by comparison, it was an offensive explosion for the Irish. In fact, Notre Dame nearly won the first half, trailing only 17-14 at halftime.
The 31 points their defense allowed also tied a season low for the Irish …read more

Well, it’s Friday so let’s see what’s going on around the internets that doesn’t involve OJ (What is he up to by the way?). It’s been like 2 whole days since we’ve heard that much. I know he’s home and all but what did he have for dinner last night? Can we get satellite images of his living room? Surely he must be up to something crooked and interesting, anyways…

As a resident of Florida I sometimes like to write about the weirdness and criminals that add a little something extra to “the sunshine state.” Of the many criminals that flee various other states to take residence here, none are more notorious than “The Juice” OJ Simpson.
Simpson has been a resident of Miami for a solid decade now, ever since his “dream team” of lawyers acquitted him of murdering 2 people at his Beverly Hills estate. Since then he has enjoyed the Florida sunshine and the many golf courses our state has to offer. He has also enjoyed our favorable state laws towards criminals that have prevented the Goldman …read more

It’s not very often I talk about sports on here, but why not? I’d like to issue this weeks “Cheat to Win” award to Bill Belichik and the New England Patriots for videotaping the New York Jets hand signals. As NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ponders on what the punishment will be (it’s thought to be draft picks) I sincerely hope the commish rules with an iron fist here.
The primary reason I feel this way is because I’m a huge Buffalo Bills fan and they’ve lost to the Patriots pretty much every time they’ve played them this century. Also, because the Patriots are perhaps the most …read more
