Revised 11/18. 10:25 a.m. An alert reader advises that Lou Holtz does not have bad dentures, but suffers from a speech impediment. In fact, he has become and advocate for people suffering similar speech disorders. Thus my attempts at humor regarding his speech are seriously ill advised. I thus have edited my comments in this [...]

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. [...]

But hey, we run his picture anyway, because that’s what we do with sports these days: Show the Stars!
Frankly I could care less about golf. Especially watching golf on TV.
Except, of course, for the majors. Which I watch because I’m a sports fan. And because I need to keep this blog breathing until football practice [...]
Buried in the sports news last week was this item you may have glossed over. Starting with the 2011 Rose Bowl, all BCS games will be on ESPN. Which in and of itself is of only mild interest to most sports fans. And of some concern to the remaining 128 American sports fans without cable [...]
That’s the Thursday night conundrum, isn’t it?
At least for those who recognize that NHL hockey playoffs are the most compelling in sports.
For those of us legitimately torn, we gotta figure out what to do? Picture in Picture? Set up two TVs side by side and run a cable cord in from the other room? Watch [...]
Detroit and Pittsburgh are competing in the finals of the world’s most arduous and taxing sport.
What astonishes me is that this is the 3d Stanley Cup Finals game in the last four days. That’s right, kids. So the next time some NFLer complains about no time to rehab for a Sunday game after a Monday [...]
Louisville’s Cardinals are down 0-2 early to Middle Tennessee out at Patterson Field.
Due to several circumstances — all legit — I didn’t make it out to the ballyard. Okay, I’m feeling more than a little guilty, but sometimes real life imposes itself. Like staying home with the Film Babe, picking up stepson at the airport, [...]
Revised 5/16 3:40 p.m.
All I changed was the title. Because, uh, well, I realized that I originally said Tuesday night, but what I think I meant was Thursday night. I’m pretty sure. My memory lapses all too often. It’s Saturday afternoon now, and I can’t even remember what I ate for lunch just a [...]
I’m talking Barnhart. Not McConnell.
He spoke to a local men’s group the other night here in Louisville.
He sung the praises of his latest hire — John Calipari — and advised his audience that indeed Coach Cal would have been earning more, had he stayed at Memphis, than he is at UK. Speaking of UK’s recently [...]
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about.
That’s why we around here love hoops so very very very much.
Chicago 128, Boston 127.
In an NBA playoff series already being considered among the best if not the best ever contested, the Bulls and Celtics managed to kick it up yet another notch. Even beyond 11. In the six games [...]
