Going “down to the city” to see the New York Yankees has always been a big deal in the Bunt house. I’ve been a Yankee fan since 1965- listening to games out on Long Island on a warm summer evening on Grandpa’s transistor radio- I worked quite hard to bias my three daughters toward the New York Baseball nine during their formative years and managed to bat .333, as Jackie is an ardent fan. Jackie told me she was taking me to the new stadium in the Bronx this year and bought a pair of … [Read more...]
New Tiger Woods commercial, blah blah blah…
April 8, 2010 By 2 Comments
I honestly could not care less about the whole "Tiger Woods" situation. It's on every channel, people are always talking about him. For the most part I just tune it out, but on the radio this morning the hosts were talking about a new Nike commercial featuring Tiger. The DJ was really angry and talking about how despicable the clip was, so naturally I was curious. Thanks to the Yahoo! news feed, the controversial clip was up to view. *Original clip got taken down, so enjoy this clip … [Read more...]
Football season for a disgruntled Bills fan [by Neil]
September 15, 2009 By 3 Comments
We get it Tom Brady, you are perfect in every way (except for that loss to the Giants). However, what you did on Monday night was sickening. How dare you take the pleasure of beating the Patriots away from those lowly Buffalo Bills? If it wasn’t for Leodis McKelvin making such an egregious error, you would not have had the chance to throw that game-winning touchdown pass. (If I sound like a disheartened, beaten Bills fan, it’s because I am.) Mr. Brady, please go enjoy your millions of … [Read more...]

June 24, 2009 By 17 Comments
With the guidance of his parents, 16-year-old Bryce Harper has decided to quit high school and play professional baseball. Harper's talents far exceed many current professional baseball players’ abilities. He has hit a 570-foot home run, can throw a 96 MPH fastball, and has speed to match Jacoby Ellsbury. There is no doubting that this kid has the physical make up to be an effective baseball player. Baseball's "chosen one" has had his potential compared to that of Tiger Woods and … [Read more...]

‘Doin’ Work’: A Spike Lee joint to pass on [by jeff dale]
May 21, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Kobe Bryant has been called a lot of things in his 12 year pro career -- from rapist, to The Black Mamba, to MVP, to the next MJ. Kobe’s life has been a remarkable story of a star who rose so quickly after winning three championships by the age of 23, and whose crash to earth was equally remarkable. These story lines might be what you’d expect to see when Spike Lee rolls up a fat one, and tackles one of the biggest sports icons of our generation. But, sadly to say, Spike has lost his … [Read more...]
