This post is really about Rick Reilly’s reaction to Michael Jordan’s Hall of Fame speech, and not so much about the speech itself.
Every once in awhile I like to torture myself by reading a piece written by Reilly. Rick Reilly of course used to write the back page article for Sports Illustrated, and now writes [...]

Revised football predictions
In my post from September 10th, I predicted that my San Diego Chargers would make the Super Bowl. At this point I would like to revise my prediction. The San Diego Chargers have absolutely no shot at making the Super Bowl. (Note: They may actually have a shot because the AFC West is awful and [...]

Sports Break: Talking Football
The ‘Human See, Human Do’ Super Bowl Prediction:
San Diego Chargers: 27

Coach K is pisssed at President Obama
My hero, Coach K, apparently is pretty upset at the President of the United States. Coach K, perhaps best known for looking somewhat like a rat, and coaching the most annoying college basketball team in the country, rarely speaks out when he’s upset, but he does make an exception from time to time.
