Are there two better sports days on the calendar than the Round of 64 of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament? Doubtful.Think about it. There is no Holiday this happens to fall on. New Year’s Day is a great sports day, but with no football it would still be a holiday. Without March Madness, this Thursday […]

In the past, we have pretty much decided that more March Madness is always a good thing. A certain chain of sports themed restaurants/bars recently started running a commercial where a patron was overheard making a comment that he wishes the tournament was bigger, so the bartender grabs his magic remote and presses a button […]

There are many great NBA players who came from the SEC such as Al Horford, David Lee, Joakim Noah, Chandler Parsons, […]

Dwight Howard made his return to the Orlando Magic home crowd and was met with boos, curse words, derogatory signs and and ton of ill wishes. Thus is life in pro sports. One day they love you, the next day they hate you. This is what Dwight Howard could say to make me, a fan […]

The NBA regular season is winding down. Since the playoffs do not figure into the MVP voting, who will win this year’s award? Many believe Lebron James has already laid claim to the award.
