Passionately intense musings
Is there a better rivalry than Duke and North Carolina? Not to me. I have been pumped for this match-up all week – reflecting on the triple Austin Rivers buried in Chapel Hill to crush the Tar Heels earlier this season. I figure a little play-by-play and analysis along with random side commentary are in order for such a big […]
» Read moreMorgan Freeman is fantastic. I’ll let any award show open with a monologue by Morgan. Great handoff to Billy. Billy in a white bow tie that is. We call that “channeling sub-fusc” where I spent the last year (University of Oxford). Google it. It’s classy. The white tie event is rarely used these days, but Billy would fit right in […]
» Read moreThe NBA All-Star Saturday Night has always been an event I enjoy watching. Highlighted by the 3 point and Slam Dunk Contests, I remember the days of Craig Hodges drilling 3 after 3 and Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins and Kobe Bryant dunking away. Except for the opening shooting contest, the competitions were woeful. I love watching an aging Kenny […]
» Read moreThursday I tried to go to the post office at 5:15 pm. The line was almost out the door so I turned right back around not confident I would make it through the line in 30 minutes. Friday morning I stopped in at 8:30 right as it opened and found it much emptier, so I stuck around and figured I […]

Friday brought me a new experience. A work outing took me to Daniel’s Summit Lodge, east of Heber, Utah, for my first time snowmobiling, or as they call it in Alaska and elsewhere, snowmachining. I had recently watched the X Games and saw people jumping the sleds. While I did manage to get a bit of air off of a […]
» Read moreIt’s Grammy time. And tonight that means a live blog. It didn’t start off that way. It started off with a string of bbms to a slew of friends, but that inspired the following. I’m a big fan of LL Cool J. Chris Brown should get a lifetime ban, he adds no value to this production. You beat a chick, […]
» Read moreKentucky lost an entire basketball team today. It would seem it is only a matter of time before the SEC Championship won this season is lost as well. Five Kentucky players declared they would enter the NBA draft. In seasons past, fans may be distraught, upset and saddened. With this bunch, the fans knew this was part of the contract. […]
» Read moreCongrats to Blue Devil nation for winning their 4th National Championship. And congrats to CBS for ruining the greatest song in sport, “One Shining Moment.” CBS decided 1) it was a good idea to employ Jennifer Hudson to sing the song and 2) actually SHOW Hudson during the highlight montage. Strike 1, Strike 2. And, for the kicker, on the […]
» Read moreDoesn’t need to. It’s time for March Madness. Conference tournaments are in full swing and teams are “punching their ticket”, actually, I think that’s a lame saying, teams are winning their way into the NCAA Basketball Tournament. 65 teams was one too many.
