I love the National Football League, always have and, probably, always will. The NFL has been the best run league on the planet. Through the last couple decades the NFL’s popularity has grown more than any other sport in the USA and it is has become a multi-billion dollar entity. Credit the NFL owners and commissioners for not standing pat as they strive to find ways to constantly improve. Every year, the 32 team owners get together for meetings to discuss improvements to...
Death, Taxes and Brett Favre

It’s that time of the year again…August. It’s bloody hot in most of the US and all 32 NFL teams are in training camp, sweating through two-a-day practices, with visions of hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy at next February’s Super Bowl. Here is a guarantee and you can take this to the bank…31 of the 32 teams that think they are going to win it are wrong. Stepped out on a limb there, didn’t I? I have another guarantee for the coming football season… Brett Favre will play in...
Million Dollar Advice for pennies to NBA Owner

The most anticipated sporting event to residents of the state of Ohio, if not all Americans, this summer most likely is not the World Cup. Instead, it’s The ‘Decision’. The Decision refers to the team with which LeBron James decides to sign a free agent contract. The Cavaliers, Nets, Knicks, Bulls, Heat, Mavericks and, incredibly, the Clippers have all been mentioned. LeBron’s present team, the Cleveland Cavaliers, have had a busy few weeks. First, they fired head coach...

News travels fast. I sit down to eat dinner, flick on the local news and see that, over in Australia, the new AFL club is going to is going to pay Israel Folau $3M over the next 3 years to try his hand at footy. The NRL player? What the?? Ok, I lied. It wasn't on the local news. Ed Wyatt told me, but make no mistake about it...this is a gimmick and indicates that the AFL feels it may have bitten off more than it can chew in tackling the Western Suburbs of Sydney. Everyone from the...
Seven Broadcasts LIVE Footy!!

I owe Ch7 an apology. Forever, it seems, on our radio show, Ed Wyatt and I would rip the network for showing whatever crappy non-Live show they had in the can while delaying LIVE footy. It was a complete farce, we’d say. In a country that loves its sport, why disrespect the viewer by showing “MasterChef and Garden” when you have a live game that can be shown? “That crap wouldn’t fly at home. Folks would riot in the streets!” I’d yell...

5 Easy Ways to fix Major League Baseball

BASEBALL IN AUSTRALIA is just ramping up. Each year it seems, more and more Aussies are making their debut in the big leagues. Now with talk of the Australian Baseball League starting, one gets the feeling the America's past time is gaining momentum to having a nice future in Australia and, possibly, becoming a nice summer alternative to cricket. However, in the US, baseball is in trouble. The game in 2010 is far different from when I was a kid in the late 70s and 80s. Back...
