There is much to discuss about last night’s the ALCS playoff game between the California, Los Angeles, Orange County – whatever the hell they are – Angels and the New York Yankees.

The Underreported Story of the Week

Not. any commentaries on ESPN.com by the bevy of Page 2 columnists? Nope. Was it the subject of “Real Talk”? Sure you’re right. Is the incident on the lips of sports fans? HA! [read more...]

Five days ago I wrote a post about NCAA basketball violations titled, ‘Off We Go a Travelin’ a Pushin’ and a Hand-Checkin’. Though officials regularly miss these calls, the piece was a bit tongue in cheek. Saturday though, I watched the Duke-Virginia Tech game, which Duke won, 72-65.
