A call CANOT be reversed unles there is IRREFUTABLE evidence in the replay that the call that was made was wrong. They just reversed a call on the field the Titans still lead 17-3, but it cost them the 3, becuase a ball that was intercepted in the end zone was ruled incomplete on a VERY un-conclusive replay. That’s what Continue Reading

The refs blew it in Nashville today. The Titan’s Derrick Mason caught the ball IN THE END ZONE, the Colts defender stripped it away and they gave the Colts the ball as a touchback. Physically impossible. Once the ball is caught in the end zone, even if the defender also has his hands on the ball, the catch is good, Continue Reading

After reaching their pinnacle of 12 games over 500 back on Jun 7, The Reds have descended in an up and down manner, but clearly downward, toward the Pirates in the cellar, and are in the process of losing 2 of 3 to the Pirates at home (and if it weren’t for a heroic grandslam Friday night by Pena, they Continue Reading

from espn.com Almost the end of May, and the Reds have the best record in the NL. (The Cubbies will tie them if they beat the Cardinals tonight, but for now, the Reds are on top. They have just won their third in a row over Houston to go up 1 game on the ‘stros, with another game left in Continue Reading

Watch Live! NOT!!! We had to watch an “archived” replay of the game instead of seeing it live, due to some strange calculation that put us in a “blackout area” for Cincinnati games, although the Braves game was just fine (figure that one out. We are in Nashville. Atlanta is closer thwn Cincinnati.) Cincinnati is two states away from us…..TV Continue Reading

I finally decided to try a one-day pass to MLB TV at MLB.com, since they advertised a Reds-Astros game as available tonight. I sat down to watch it, and “Whaaaa??” Blacked out! I’m in Nashville, TN. The game is in Cincinnati. I waqtch Reds-Cubs games that are in Cioncinnati, Reds-Braves games, ESPN games….never blacked out. Go figure. MLB.com strikes out Continue Reading

I don’t know about others, but from the almost complete absence of “people I know” who actually pay for this stuff at these prices, I assume that MLB’s attempts to make a business out of offering “online MLB live games” has been a dismal failure. I used to listen to WLW via their website, now MLB doesn’t allow them to Continue Reading

I had thought, when I heard that they were seeding the number ones in the brackets, that they were re-seeding the final four, so that the highest remaining seed played the lowest remaining seed. Not so. They merely seeded the region’s number one seeds, so that the number one nuumber one seed played the number four number one seed (which Continue Reading

I’m looking around (so far, on ESPN.com and CBS’s Sportsline.com, and nobody, that I can find, is showing the times for next week’s regionals semis and finals! They have to know when the games are! Where the heck are they?) I know that Kentucky plays UAB, and the matchup between today’s two winners in Milwaukee ( BC-Ga.Tech and Pacific-Kansas games) Continue Reading

Wow. What a first half! 60-52 at the half. Kentucky shot 60% from the field, and about the same from 3point range. trouble is, so did Florida A&M! They were fast, and they hit everything! Kentucky gives up an average of 63 points a game on defense, and here they’d surrendered 52 at the break! It didn’t get much easier Continue Reading

Jut returned from Atlanta where Kentucky, thanks to Duke’s loss, grabbed the number one overall seed, and the easiest bracket according to all. While AKMA was comforted that Duke still got a #1, the difference in their winning and losing could well have been more significant than losing a #1 seed , looking at the bracket they got compared to Continue Reading

My sports blogging has been almost completely nonexistent for a while. This is not any indication that my sports fan-dom has waned. I’ve been watching (the Titans, who lost a close one last weekend to the Patriots, and the Kentucky Wildcats, who were just terrible yesterday). I’m watcing the NFC Championship now as I read a bit in Linked: The Continue Reading

For the third straight year! Horrors! The Yankees DON’T win it all. (If you know me, you know I’m being sarcastic…..I LOVE seeing the fat-cats LOSE. I’ve actually disliked the Yankees mostly because I tend to bail from any semblance of pulling for a team once they threaten to become or renew anything that can be construed as a dynasty Continue Reading

In an earlier post, I was commenting on the signs that said “destiny”, a nd said, “Yeah right, how many times have they made it , 30, 35?” 39! Here, the word means “It’s the destiny of most fans to have to endure , over and over, the same tedius, over-dramatic hype about a team with the baseball’s highest payroll, Continue Reading
