I was a little down last week when “The Last Dance” ended. I learned a few things this past week without more Michael Jordan to look forward to. I thought I’d like the Lance Armstrong documentary, which is sort of the MJ replacement on ESPN. Well, it was on at the same time, but that’s […]

I have to admit that I’m a little sad today. And it’s not what you think. For the first time in a while, I’m not going to talk about the dreaded “C” word today. Instead, I want to reflect on two topics in my sports world that made me feel happy and, at the same […]

By Mathias Berbel After a star studded lineup at UFC 249 this past Saturday night, we now get UFC Fight Night Jacksonville night 1 on Wednesday. Many new fans will not know a lot of names but that does not mean we don’t have an action packed card on the way. We will get to […]

It wasn’t that long ago when I wrote that, as we move ahead in time, sports are that much closer to returning. In fact, it was one week ago when I wrote that. I’d like to believe that’s true, but like a lot of things we hear and read regarding the word I wish never […]

Before Sunday, the only dancing I really watched was “Dancing with the stars.” But now, like most of you, I’m sure, I loved “The Last Dance,” the 10-part documentary on ESPN about the 1997-98 Chicago Bulls and a guy named Mike. This docuseries has been hyped up since last June. It got moved up because […]

By Gary Dickman. If this was even close to a perfect world, I’d be writing about the NCAA championship game in basketball. But as we all know, especially now, this isn’t a perfect world. In the last few days, I’ve wondered who would have played in the Final Four, and who would be the new […]

By Lance Tominaga First of all, put down the branding iron. I fully realize that, at least from a sports fan’s perspective, the games we love are simply that: games. And no matter what sport we’re passionate about – football, basketball, baseball, etc. – in the end it’s just entertainment. Unlike this scary, uncertain time […]
