Happy new year… Yes, I said happy new year. It is a headline that I saw a few years ago on espn.com , which was used on the 1st day of Spring Training. Well, today it’s freezing in Baltimore–we just had a nasty ice storm–but the fact that they are playing ball somewhere means it […]

I am so fired up for tonight’s Maryland v. Duke  game. It truly has become one of the greatest rivalries in college basketball. I just love “Duke Fans”… claiming that they don’t look at the Terps as rivals. By far and away, Maryland has had more success against  Duke than any other ACC team in recent years.

Happy Monday Evening. So…  back to the Erik Bedard deal. As I said on Friday, this is a good deal, but only time will tell how good a trade it really is. If Jones becomes an all-star centerfielder for the Birds, Sherrill turns out to be a good lefty setup man, and one of the three pitching […]

The deal is finally done!  HOLY CRAP!  It’s about time … Congress doesn’t take that long!  Short and sweet, if 2 of these pitchers become viable major league prospects, the deal is a success.  For my money, Adam Jones is the only thing that matters.  This kid better be an all-star within 3 years.  If […]

The Baltimore Orioles have spent much of the last 5 to 7 years raving about the talent of  their young crop. The O’s certainly have had a talented group, but only one has reached his potential…. and this afternoon the team officially and willingly traded that one true ace. Erik Bedard is now a Mariner.
Bedard is one of the […]

It was really surreal to be  at radio row during Superbowl week. Here are a few things that i learned…
Everybody is there, trying to push some product.  From actors to musicians and of course every great NFL Player you could imagine.
During Superbowl week the ratio of ugly dudes to beautiful woman is pretty high…
Most of […]

Well… it looks like we’ll finally know about Erik Bedard in the very near future. What a long, drawn-out saga it has been. One writer in Seattle commented that if this were a movie it would be called the “Never Ending Story.” I don’t want to jinx anything, so I will wait until it becomes official to talk […]

Hello everyone. I am excited to report that I have now officially entered the brave new world of blogging.  I expect to post a lot every week, and I hope everyone plans to check the ESPN 1300 blog just as often.
Hopefully,  readers will  find my blog entertaining, informative, and  insightful.  Along with Zinno, I  hope to have the […]

Bob Knight walking away from college basketball cannot be understated.  After over 45 years and 900 victories, The General, as he is known, quietly and with little notice, stopped coaching basketball.  A polarizing figure and a lighting rod for controversy, Knight never shyed away from any challenge, never met a player he couldn’t coach, and […]
