Brandon Inge Is My Hero, Part III

Still looking for video that truly tells the story of Brandon Inge’s remarkable visit with my friend’s little boy Noah, a patient at Mott’s Children’s Hospital who signed Brandon’s arm and asked him to hit a home run for him…which he did that night. I know ESPN came out to do a whole piece on [ READ MORE ]

Brandon Inge Is My Hero, Part II

This is a completely unrelated update to an earlier post, but I don’t know how you don’t read this and well up a little bit. In the moments after he homered Friday night, Brandon Inge broke down in the Tigers’ dugout. “I lost it,” he said. “I was crying. That’s never happened to me during [ READ MORE ]

Brandon Inge Is My Hero

First, some disclosure: I’m not a baseball fan. I don’t even really have strong feelings one way or another about Brandon Inge the baseball player. But it’s difficult to be even a casual sports fan and not be impressed with his career’s work so far. But I’m here to tell ya: Brandon Inge is my [ READ MORE ]

USA! USA!

In one of the most stunning upsets in sports at the moment, the United States has beaten Spain 2-0 in the semi-finals of the Confederates Cup. They go on to play in the finals on Sunday.

What I “mis-overestimated” is how little the starting unit would care, try or fight. But when Curry inserted the second unit, we finally saw the first glimpses [ READ MORE ]

Detroit Pistons to Shock the World!

Well, not really. But here is my humble prediction: The Detroit Pistons will steal one of the first two games in Cleveland. Yes, those Detroit Pistons, who, 82 games into the season, still have yet to find an identity. And, yes, those Cleveland Cavaliers, who fell just one game short of tying the all-time record [ READ MORE ]

My, How the Mighty Have Fallen

My one-time childhood hero, takes another step down the ladder: Former New York Knicks coach Isiah Thomas has accepted Florida International’s offer to coach its basketball team, a source close to the situation told ESPN.com’s Andy Katz. Full disclosure: He has since fallen from my grace, of course. But during his playing days as a [ READ MORE ]
