You know what’s crazy? i’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ ESPN 50,000th sportscenter. It’s a man’s night light. It’s the wife you want and the girlfriend yiou need. She loves the 6-4-3 double play. She loves the hail mary. She’ll watch an Inside the Lines about jock itch. Thank You Sportscenter. I remember the first one. […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Someone trying to play you. I asked for an interview with the mayor. His handlers all but shut me down. I was downtown, and he was the introductory speaker at an event. His handlers asked me why I was there. Because I want to interview him, […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ 9/11/01 That’s Crazy Man. 11 years have passed. Seriously, crazy. Where has all the time gone? We all remember where we were.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ Youth sports and the affect it has on some people. A ball. A field. Some kids. It use to be fun.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ The East L.A. Bank Heist. It was wild, almost hard to believe. It was straight out of the Quentin Tarantino handbook for adrenaline. A supposed bomb strapped to a bank employee, a daring bank robbery in broad daylight. It was a newsman’s wet dream. With a helicopter swooping […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™ “Till death do us part” The phrase is synonymous with marriage like sugar lard is synomous with an oreo cookie. Till death do us part. It usually signifies the moment that a man and wife are married. Mazel Tav. But my question is this: Is it […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy.™Fantasy FootballTonight is my league’s 17th annual draft. Yes 17 years. A group of us started playing fantasy football in West Michigan back in 1995. We started playing before the Internet, before ESPN instant calculations. We had as much technology as a garage door opener and a USA Today. […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy. 13 year old soccer in the hot Atlanta sun. It was 90 degrees today with 80 % humidity. I was sitting on the sideline and sweating like a prostitute on a hot tin roof. I am watching 13 year old boys throw elbows and run like […]
