I know the title seems like spam. Just think of it as a reverse bait and switch. I you’re familiar with me and my blog - Real SPorts Bloggers - you know that it’s a platform for sports bloggers to speak their piece without censorship or kow-towing to one of the corporate sites. That, in […]

I know, got to spend less time listening to Hendrix. My point is this: If the defenders of baseball’s collective morality have protected us from Barry Bonds by not letting him play, what has been preserved?
And at what cost?
Are there any fewer players using performance enhancing drugs because Bonds hasn’t stepped onto the diamond? If […]

It is July and winds cry ‘Barry’.

If I understand the logic correctly, the Lakers can’t come back and win the NBA finals because it’s never been done before. In other words, nothing is possible until it has happened at least once.
Maybe not this time. As much as I detest the Lakers, this could be the year history is made.

Ain’t Katie looking for a job? Why not sports? CBS News has tried everything to get someone, anyone, to watch the CBS Evening News With Katie Couric. Nothing works. Which raises the question- Would you continue to watch the NFL if Katie was doing play-by-play? Or sitting between Howie and Terry before the games?
This […]

I watched an episode of The Biggest Loser and I didn’t know whether to <expletive deleted> or throw up. This show is an awful idea. It screws up relationships. I saw the longing in my wife’s eyes. She wants to be as small as she was the day we met. She wants to squeeze into […]

Practice does not make perfect. That’s one of a dozen lies we parents force on our kids. Along with Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, the lies we tell our children shape who they become. Remember the first know-it-all kid that logic’d out that Santa couldn’t possibly exist? He was a dick, wasn’t he? Decades […]

The NFL doesn’t respect it’s fans. Looking at the NFL with an objective eye, there is no other conclusion one can come to. Don’t ignore the outrageous costs to the non-fan. Every stadium in America was subsidized in someway by the local area populace - whether they ever witness a game in person or not. […]

The product of baseball, at least at the major league level, has been on the decline for years. The season is too long, the games are too long, the market is out of control…and the cloud of the infamous “Steroid Era” continues to cast a dark shadow over a game […]
