Holy Moly! There are 16 matches on this card for WrestleMania. There is a lot going on and I don’t even know if I can keep up with it! But it’s that time of the year and we are going to see my predictions and if any of it makes any sense. Kickoff Pre-show: WOMEN’S […]
The new Jets uniforms are acceptable
The beginning of a new legacy.#TakeFlight pic.twitter.com/oaGidDB65B — #TakeFlight (@nyjets) April 4, 2019 I have some issues with these new Jets uniforms but they aren’t bad in some sense. Their shade of green is great and that reflects very well on the helmets. My issue with this set is that the use of black just […]
The Catch II: Remembering it 20 years later
Can you believe it? Exactly 20 years ago today, The Catch II happened. This remains as one of the greatest playoff moments in San Francisco 49ers history. To me, it is one of the most impossible and unexpected moments in team history. And for good reason. This 49ers team had been dominating since the 1980s […]
The Indians’ Wahoo-free uniform is better
With the Indians moving on from Chief Wahoo, they have unveiled three new elements to their uniform set as part of the transition. Wahoo is no longer on caps and on sleeves of the uniform. Instead, the Indians are embracing the Block C on all caps and the Wahoo patch instead will featuring the All-Star […]
What is a throwback uniform?
Today I encountered an interesting debate on Twitter when I saw this post. The 5 best NFL throwback jerseys of 2018 https://t.co/fdba9NJoqL pic.twitter.com/VCeoAYeLZg — For The Win (@ForTheWin) October 30, 2018 The list talks about the best throwback uniforms in the NFL and the #1 spot went to the Chargers. Wait? The Chargers are wearing […]
Oakland A’s early postseason exit isn’t the final chapter
This season wasn’t supposed to be like this for the Oakland Athletics. They were expected to maybe finish in third place at best in the division. The team was supposed to be contending for the postseason in 2019. Maybe 2020. No, they were not supposed to be here. But they arrived sooner than expected. They […]
NHL All-Star Game logo: Is technology San Jose’s only identity?
It was no surprise they were going this route. The NHL All-Star Game logo was revealed on Wednesday and of course they would use a Silicon Valley theme. The logo is meant to represent an app icon. It’s so predictable they would choose this theme. But is that the only thing that San Jose/Silicon Valley […]
Seeing the Ramon Laureano catch and throw live was special
On Saturday I was at Angel Stadium and I saw the greatest catch of my lifetime. I was sitting near the A’s dugout when this play happened. I didn’t realize the time how difficult the catch was. I saw it and was shocked that he made the catch. Then it all was a blur. The […]

Mark Canha’s “bat flip” is a dumb debate
On Saturday, Oakland A’s pinch-hitter Mark Canha hit a go-ahead two-run homer vs the Giants. After the swing, he “flipped” his bat, stared at his own dugout before trotting the bases. People are upset about the flip. Of course, these “unwritten rules” debates have existed for some time. Some people are upset that Canha shouldn’t […]
Terrell Owens vs the Hall of Fame: The battle of pettiness
The Pro Football Hall of Fame is taking petty to new levels after declaring they will not be announcing Terrell Owens’ name during the ceremony. ➡️ https://t.co/I7zP6hAt63 pic.twitter.com/Kmc7bpCiEx — Yahoo Sports NFL (@YahooSportsNFL) July 12, 2018 Now I agree with many people that Terrell Owens should attend his own Hall of Fame induction ceremony. It […]
The mixed feelings of LeBron James going to the Lakers
I remember the feeling I had when I watched “The Decision” in 2010. It was on my birthday and I sat at my dinner table with my parents. They didn’t really care but I was watching in disgust as the whole televised event played out. The disgust wasn’t really about the actual decision to join […]
Somehow the A’s are keeping it interesting
Seven games out! The A’s entered this season with a faint hope of maybe securing that last wild card spot. But after an impressive sweep of Detroit (with some fun comebacks sprinkled in there as well) the A’s are only seven games out of the final wild card spot. Of course this is still only […]
World Cup: Four Reasons To Watch
Guest columnist Brandon Castro (@brandoncee) shares his reasons why we should watch the World Cup even though Team USA didn’t qualify for the tournament. === Timing It is a down time for American sports. The only major sport ongoing at this time is the MLB and even baseball has not hit their midway point to […]
How Dwight Clark changed the course of my life
The closest I had to ever interacting with Dwight Clark was back in 2008 during a phone interview. I don’t even recall what we talked about. I am pretty sure it was about football. After the interview, he was so gracious for me taking the time to talk with him and that he was really […]
49ers unveil 1994 all-white throwbacks for upcoming season
The wait is over. After successfully avoiding leaks, the San Francisco 49ers have unveiled a new alternate uniform from the upcoming season. It is inspired by their ever popular 1994 uniforms which they wore during their last Super Bowl title season. Those specific uniforms were a throwback to their 1955 set. These uniforms are not […]
NFL has anthem kneeling compromise that provides no solution
Here’s the new anthem policy, via an @NFL statement. pic.twitter.com/fau1WdNddO — Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 23, 2018 Well, to be fair, we can’t expect the NFL to be the voice of the masses, can we? So this is the new rule that is supposedly a good compromise from the NFL. You either stand for the […]
If the 49ers are getting alternate uniforms, this is what they should do
Source: 49ers to introduce new alternate uniform for 2018. Not sure exactly when it will be announced, but might be worth setting aside time for the May 23rd State of the Franchise event!

What a career, Ichiro!
It’s actually pretty hard for me to put into thoughts on Ichiro’s career. He’s now in the front office and likely will play a couple more games next year when the Mariners visit Japan. After that, I think it’s officially over for him. But with today’s news, I still can’t help but reflect on all […]
Jaguars and Dolphins make uniform changes for the better
Both the Miami Dolphins and the Jacksonville Jaguars unveiled new changes to their uniforms today. Both were expected announcements, with the both teams going back to their traditional looks for the upgrade. Historically modern.https://t.co/kMdHGMoXAp pic.twitter.com/BmLrtUvcXy — Miami Dolphins (@MiamiDolphins) April 19, 2018 For the Dolphins, their new uniform made a simple change: more orange, less […]
My WrestleMania 34 predictions
This year’s WrestleMania is so different from last year’s injury-riddled replacement card. This WrestleMania has one of the best cards of all time. The storylines are so good leading up to these matches that there are at least four matches I think could close the show. That’s how much fun this will be. Let’s see […]
The new Titans uniforms are so underwhelming

The team kept the same colors but just moved some things here and there and added that silver sword to the yokes. […]

Oakland A’s to charge Giants fans $50 for parking for no good reason
With the annual exhibition game between the A’s and Giants in Oakland coming up, it will be a great way for the Bay to prepare for the upcoming baseball season. Additionally, the Warriors are playing at home that day too so the parking lot will be packed. The A’s decided to use this situation to […]
But at the end of the day...
