Ramblings of a cranky sports fan
My first trip to LA was amazing. I was just beginning my working years and had dreamed about visiting the West Coast since I was in high school. Because I live on the East Coast, flying to California was (and still is) an all-day proposition. Connecting in either Toronto, Boston or one of the New […]
I have always loved to travel. Our family often vacationed in Maine or Prince Edward Island. My first trip as an adult was to Toronto, Ontario, Canada (people in this part of the world often refer to it as “Tronna”). I was very impressed with the cleanliness of Toronto and the safety of its subway […]
Travel is the movement of people between distant geographical locations. Travel can be done by foot, bicycle, automobile, train, boat, bus, airplane, Since there is no action in the sports world yet (unless you count the UFC fight tonight), I want to write a little about travel, why it is so important and when it […]
Since there is no sports at present (although NASCAR is starting up in a couple of weeks) I thought I would write about baseball and why it is the best sport ever. First and foremost almost everyone played some form of baseball growing up. Unlike many other sports, you don’t need freakish size and/or athletic […]
So the waiting for the return of sports begins. Actually WWE never left. The health of the wrestlers is unimportant to them and their wrestlers are classed as independent contractors. Now on to real sports. I think that NASCAR will be back the soonest. Their largest revenue comes from the TV networks and they […]
I, like you, am starving for sports. My fantasy baseball team is waiting for the season to start and no one knows when that will be. I can’t watch Netflix for hours on end because that will burn out the few brain cells that still work (not to mention some of the trash featured on […]
Not long ago I watched a NASCAR classic Richmond race from the 1980’s. What a different world it was then. The announcers (including the awesome Benny Parsons – miss you man!) called the race and didn’t remind you every 5 minutes that the drivers were heroes. The drivers raced without being afraid to antagonize each […]
If you are like me you are starving for sports, any sports (other than NASCAR replays of course). Strat-O-Matic is going to simulate the 2020 season starting on the original opening day (March 27?). The results will be shown on their Facebook page and Twitter feed. Any guesses on how long before we start betting […]
Well, it has been quite a week. Here in North America we had baseball, NBA basketball, golf, March Madness, NASCAR and Indycar all shut down indefinitely. Our lives are now sadly lacking the main sources of entertainment. Yes, we could read a book or binge watch Netflix, but we can’t bet on those activities (can […]
As I mentioned earlier, I am part of the age group that hates change. However I really like fantasy sports, especially baseball. I never play for money because I never win when I gamble (former math teacher here!). But running a fantasy baseball team keeps you involved through the season. You need to adjust your […]
