    Ya gotta hand it to the NFL. Seven months off and they don’t miss a beat. Last night’s season opener, a rematch of last year’s Super Bowl, not only lived up to its hype, but showed once again why professional … Continue reading →

    The end of summer yields disappointment, no doubt, yet brings forth two important beacons of encouragement (is that redundant?) as well. They are: football… and Tony Kornheiser. Yes, Mr. Tony has emerged from his summer holiday, yesterday launching his “new” … Continue reading →

    Rule number one if you want to win a football game: overtime or no, don’t give up 50 points. Thank you, University of Texas, for ruining an otherwise enjoyable weekend. The only thing that can salvage such a display is … Continue reading →

    Much has been made over San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick’s decision not to stand for pregame performances of our national anthem. Sit, stand, do cartwheels; it’s really not my place to tell someone what to do so long as … Continue reading →

    An article in last Sunday’s Washington Post describes the horrors that would be inflicted upon the art world were Donald Trump to become president. Yup, this was a news story. Theoretical imaginations of life under an authoritarian dictator. Good Lord. … Continue reading →
