March Madness: Being The Best

I have been watching several games per day since “March Madness” started. (That’s, of course, only on the days they are playing). I am depressed that individuals and teams respond so poorly when the game is on the line. So many games have come down to the final seconds and too many times the loser [...]

Kentucky Vs. Indiana Basketball

Even though I grew up on the West Coast, loving basketball the way i did, I was aware that the two traditional powers were the University of Kentucky and the University of Indiana. Of course, the University of Kansas was just as big on the college scene with legendary coach Phog Allen and the creator [...]

March Madness: The Greatest Show On Earth

Everyone has their favorite sports championship. I love them all. Not because of what sport it is but, more so, the opportunity to see how the players and coaches perform when everything is on the line. Having said that, we are in the month of March and another session of March Madness. At the end [...]

The Ever-Changing World Of Sports Part II

In a previous blog I proposed that the “world of sports” is divided into two different domains calling for different sets of actions. I propose that these two, college and professional, are collapsed into each other. It is hard for me to see how that could be effective … like playing cricket and baseball on [...]

The Ever-Changing World Of Sports

I know that, in general, human beings are resistant to change. It probably stems from wishing that “someday” we will have things figured out. You know, “no more problems.” Wouldn’t it be more useful to acknowledge that “problems are?” They are the mountains we scale that challenge us to be “who we say we are.” [...]

It’s Been Quite A Ride

The December 28th issue of Sports Illustrated arrived this past week with Will Smith and the movie “Concussion” featured on the cover. As compelling as that issue is I was drawn to an article by Mark Bechtel titled “Farewell.” This article was about the sports figures that had died in 2015. It seemed to be [...]

Those Who Serve

I am watching the Army-Navy football game from Philadelphia, PA. The 116th game between these two storied institutions. When I was a kid the game was held in wartime. It was toward the end of World War II and was watched by a nation who needed this moment of pride. Since that time, the Navy [...]

Playing Small – Why Only Four Teams In The Playoffs?

The four teams have been selected for the playoffs to decide the collegiate National Football Champion for 2015. All four teams (Clemson, Alabama, Michigan State and Oklahoma) are worthy contenders. My question is “What has the football powers that be limit the number to four teams?” College basketball has successfully included 68 or more teams. [...]
