Twins have strong start, but Tampa Bay better
Here it is, the last column of the year, of my career. It’s been a lot of fun and I thank you for reading what I have to say. But I have a little more left in me, so let’s get right to it: Danny Batten getting drafted into the NFL is the latest sign
Columnist makes NFL draft picks
The NFL Draft heads to primetime this week starting Thursday 6:30 CT on ESPN and the NFL Network. The draft is very unpredictable this year, but having said that, I am going to attempt to give you my mock draft of the first ten picks and other picks of interest in the 2010 NFL Draft.
Passion for sports lives on
Phil Mickelson won his third Green Jacket at the Masters, and his wife Amy was there for the final round. This was the first time she had been to a tournament since she was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. It was very emotional when the two embraced after the round, and how could you not be happy for the Mickelsons after all they have been through? There’s also Tiger Woods making his first appearance of the year at the Masters, coming back from a five-month hiatus while he dealt with personal issues and attended sex therapy.
Tiger makes his return to masters
With no paper next week, I need to talk for a few minutes about Tiger Woods and his return to golf. Here’s the point I want to get out: Forget about the stuff in his personal life for now. Golf needs Tiger Woods and you want to watch him compete on the golf course, especially at the Masters.
Stacken gives insight for unpredictable Final Four
I can’t believe it’s coming to an end. I can’t believe the teams that are in the Final Four. I can’t believe my pick of Kansas to win it all floundered in the first week of March Madness.
Stacken deems Winter Olympics as ‘spectacular’
It’s over. What a great 17 days of Olympic action. There were great stories and performances the likes of which may never be duplicated. Here’s a quick look back at some great Olympic moments: Canada-USA men battle in hockey’s gold medal game. If you watched the game, you know the level of excitement that the game generated and how great a game it was.
Super Bowl recap: Brees deserves MVP title
Well that is it. The Super Bowl is over and the New Orleans Saints are champions. Their first trip to the Super Bowl in the franchise’s 43 years was a good one, as they beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-17, as I’m sure most everyone knows by now. Before we move on to different sports and different topics in the weeks to come, here are a few lasting impressions from the Super Bowl: The onside kick in the second half completely swung momentum in the Saints’ favor.
Big expectations for ‘Super Sunday’
Well, it is Super Bowl week, and there is a lot of excitement in the air. Of course there will be plenty of parties on Super Bowl Sunday. Thousands of bags of chips will be eaten. Hundreds of pizzas devoured. There will be too many empty beer and pop cans and bottles to count.
Saints bring hope to the people of New Orleans
Welcome to another edition of the Stack Attack. The Super Bowl matchup has been set. It will be the Indianapolis Colts facing the New Orleans Saints on Feb. 7 in Miami. There will be plenty of time to look ahead to that game next week. For now though, here are some things that stood out to me from Championship Sunday last week.
Cardinals inspired, Patriots faltered over wild-card weekend
Hello and welcome to a new year with the Stack Attack. A lot of people are still catching their breath after the epic game between the Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals Jan. 10. The Cardinals won 51-45 in overtime in the highest scoring game ever in the playoffs.
