Those Nelligan Marketing folks who seem to have grabbed hold of U of L athletics by the short and curlies won’t let go. At last night’s first Cardinal hoops battle, they inundated the crowd as is their wont with continuously loud abrasive music during pre-game. If they feel compelled to play loud music at every [...]

And the Opening Day I’m talking about ain’t the November Madness we used to call the World Series. It shouldn’t take the Bronx Checkbooks more than five games to finish that. Hopefully before the first blizzard of the season. And I don’t mean baseball season.
I am talking about U of L hoops tipoff, which is [...]

At this juncture, it is impossible to conceive that Steve Kragthorpe will coach another season at U of L. However, I cannot believe that Tom Jurich would let him go before the season is over, or that SK would “resign” mid-season.
I had a conversation this afternoon with a person highly placed within U of L’s [...]

This is about the state of Louisville football and coach Steve Kragthorpe’s future roaming the sidelines at Papa John’s. Honest. But first, I must analogize. So let me use myself as an example.
Stay with me here before you scoff.
I’m a fairly decent fellow. I strive to be honest, pay my bills, pay my taxes, be [...]

The Film Babe and I are going to see the late show of “In The Loop.” But it doesn’t start for another hour and a half. So here I am killin’ time, thinking about the world of sports.
Is Rachel Alexandra the sportsperson of the year?
My Detroit Tigers are 7 games up in the AL Central. [...]

Alrighty then. The spotlight which has been aimed at U of L hoops for weeks because of the Pitino/ Sypher situation is now pointed down the road.
Is this today’s episode of “As The World Turns?”
If the early reports are correct, Memphis State is going to have to forfeit all of its wins from the ‘07-’08 [...]

One thing we can argue about in sports is whether today’s players are better than those from yesteryear. One guy’s opinion is that modern athletes are stronger, fitter and faster than the old timers. Whether they are more talented as a whole is something that can be debated forever without resolution.
But one thing that’s missing [...]
Sporting News just published its list of America’s greatest sports coaches of all time. It includes the usual suspects at the top — Wooden, Lombardi, Bryant — and no stunning surprises.
Such lists are just the type of exercise fans love to argue about. Let’s get one goin’, eh?
Soooooooooo, I got to thinking: What would a [...]
The Rick’s nemesis, accused felon Karen Sypher, has asked that her criminal trial for Extortion and Lying to FBI be continued to a new date. Nothing unusual about that. It happens all the time as a matter of routine.
That the local paper buried the nuggetoid of news deep in its print edition is interesting. Not [...]
The Rick has used the term when talking about the University of Louisville basketball program.
Coach Cal has used the concept when talking about the University of Kentucky basketball program.
LeBron James’ cadre of handlers and business managers have used the word when talking about their, uh, product. That would be LeBron James.
I hate the oh so [...]
