Sports Bio

My favorite teams are the Cubs, Tigers, Lions, Panthers, Hurricanes, Sri Lanka, and Kings XI Punjab.
My most memorable sporting event that I attended was Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals in 2006 when the Hurricanes won it all. I will never forget a second of that game.

Ryan Clark wants to see same media response to Nick Bosa MAGA hat stunt as Colin Kaepernick protests: “It seems very clear to me Nick Bosa understands that when you wear that hat, you take a side,” Clark said. “You take a side of division in a sport that’s supposed to bring us together. I’m just waiting for all the people who comment under political and sports things to shut up and dribble or to shut up and play football, to tell him to shut up and rush. But they ain’t going to say it cuz they feel the exact same way he do.”

Fernando Valenzuela Dead at 63: His unorthodox pitching motion, distinct physique and seemingly mysterious aura left an indelible mark on people from all walks of life, whether it was Los Angeles’ Latino community grappling with the displacement created when the Dodgers built their stadium, Mexican immigrants and their families or artists inspired by his wizardry on the mound.

Tony Bennett's retirement is yet another sign of college basketball's brain drain: “The game and college athletics are not in a healthy spot. I think I was equipped to do the job the old way.”

SportsFilter: The Wednesday Huddle

Miami Dolphins' De'Von Achane on why he chooses to wear a guardian cap on his football helmet:

When asked by the Miami media this week about his decision to wear a guardian cap this season, De'Von Achane replied, "My quarterback thinks my name is Tanner. I've corrected him plenty of times, but he still looks at me every time and defaults to Tanner ... " Achane said scanning the room for recognition. "So... Let's just say I'm doing what I can to protect myself, and I hope Tua does too down the road. Before another hit turns me into Preston."

Because Leinart is actually Howard's age. In fact, I think Howard may actually be Leinart and his Celtic's fandom is just a red herring in a blind alley.

Saints Fire Head Coach Dennis Allen

1) How crappy do you think that Bryce Young is feeling today after a game where he looked pretty good. I guess when the Saints arrived back in New Orleans, the GM was like, "YOU LOST TO *THAT* QUARTERBACK?! GET OUT!!" Bryce, brother, you did actually look pretty good yesterday.

2) I gotta say, I gave the Falcons a whole ton of shit before the season started with what looked to be some awful moves during the Summer, but dang, those moves are looking pretty good right now.

3) As a lifelong Lions fan that will always be a pessimist when it comes to the team, I gotta ask: Are they really *that* good this season?
