  • Don’t Fire Charlie Weis

    I just read Pat Forde’s latest attack on Notre Dame. All season long, he’s called the players names, the coach names, even the fans names. Now he thinks that his pens will fell Charlie Weis. I hope that doesn’t happen. Here are some reasons why: 1. The team is young. I have watched most of…

  • College Football Check-in

    Here’s a mid-season check-in of my favorite teams. #1 Notre Dame For a team that barely won 3 games last year, I’m please with their progress. I actually think some fans expected the Irish to win 8-9 games based on their week schedule. Essentially, they have beaten the team’s on their schedule that they were…

  • My Olympic Rant

    So the Olympics are over. A little over 2 weeks ago the world watched the fabulous spectacle that was the opening ceremonies. Then for 16 days the nation was captivated while new stars were born and China sold itself to the world as the new mecca. At the same time there was a large group…

With the swing of the bat Sara did something she’d never done before in her softball career. She…

    In the next few weeks there will be a growing public outcry for the United States and many other major nations to boycott the Olympic Games in Beijing. It bears refreshing our memory that China is, indeed, one of the worst human rights violators on the planet. Up until 2008 China was on the State…

  • Notre Dame is a Lock for the Big Dance

    As a Notre Dame fan there hasn’t been a lot to be excited about for football. But with the basketball team things are looking great. At 21-5, Mike Brey and his Irish team have pretty much sealed the deal for getting into the group of 64 for March Madness. I’ve watched them in about 4…

  • Unbelievable whiffle ball pitcher

    First of all, I didn’t know how popular whiffle ball was. We played a lot growing up… but this kid is sick. HT to Digger

  • Cubs Passing on the Curse?

    In 1969 as Ron Santo warmed up at Shea Stadium, this black cat paced around him. The Cubs gave up an insurmountable lead to the "Miracle Mets" and the Cubs embraced more misery. Now it appears the curse is on the Mets 38 years later. (While the Cubs clinched their division last night) Can the…
