    Posted on September 30, 2016 by moc
    Reply

    I have come across several eyebrow-raising headlines this week along the lines of “Muslim woman in hijab featured in Playboy!!!” This statement is technically correct, though about as disclosing as when I say I was in Playboy. (Because I had a letter to … Continue reading →

    Some day Franklin will ask me about my all-time favorite David Ortiz moment. (I’ve been following Big Papi for two decades; his career ends next month.) My answer? September 27, 2016, in one of his final Yankee Stadium appearances, Ortiz … Continue reading →

    Tragedy in Miami, jubilation in the Meadowlands, a heavyweight fight on tap at Hofstra tonight… all of it takes a backseat to the passing of one of my heroes. Arnold Palmer, one of golf’s great champions and a beacon of … Continue reading →

    Rather than jinx my hometown Redskins for the third week in a row (before their Sunday contest with the upstart New York Giants), I thought I’d say a word or two about a couple games from last night. First, there … Continue reading →

    When I was a kid we learned that Fall begins on September 21. The scientists this year tell me that Fall actually begins tomorrow, September 22, at 10:21 a.m. Approximately.   You want to know when Fall really begins?   When … Continue reading →

    Sorry, it was me

    No doubt I jinxed the Baby Bombers last week, their playoff hopes now hanging by the slimmest of margins following a four-game sweep from the Grown Men Red Sox. It was the first such sweep of the Yanks by the … Continue reading →

    Yankees lose a heartbreaker

    I had it written. I had today’s post written last night about 10:00 when my beloved New York Yankees were cruising to victory over the pesky Boston Red Sox. Well, the Sox got a little peskier after that, jumping on … Continue reading →

    NFL is as close as it gets to “perfect TV”
