A new month. Renewed hope. Closer to a return to normalcy. Those are the thoughts and feelings I had as we approached June. These days, I am happy as each new month starts, because the months that have ended signify the worst months that I have ever lived through, not just personally, but for the…… Continue Reading »
I was a little down last week when “The Last Dance” ended. I learned a few things this past week without more Michael Jordan to look forward to. I thought I’d like the Lance Armstrong documentary, which is sort of the MJ replacement on ESPN. Well, it was on at the same time, but that’s…… Continue Reading »
I have to admit that I’m a little sad today. And it’s not what you think. For the first time in a while, I’m not going to talk about the dreaded “C” word today. Instead, I want to reflect on two topics in my sports world that made me feel happy and, at the same…… Continue Reading »

(By the way, hockey is the best spectator sport, more on that at another time.) And baseball would be in its second month. There’s nothing like the playoffs…… Continue Reading »

What I mean by that is that there are no games going on, but there’s a lot to talk about in sports. Which I didn’t really think was going…… Continue Reading »
Before Sunday, the only dancing I really watched was “Dancing with the stars.” But now, like most of you, I’m sure, I loved “The Last Dance,” the 10-part documentary on ESPN about the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls and a guy named Mike.
