Second rate coverage continues to tarnish a first rate product
The game of hockey in its purist form is a fabulous game. Players are doing ridiculous maneuvers at high speeds ON SKATES. I think as a hockey fan, it’s so easy to forget how difficult the things they do are. I always like to remind myself of that fact, when I’m watching an exciting hockey…

Robert Guerrero’s Father Has Little Use For Floyd Mayweather
This has been all over the place but if you haven’t seen it you gotta watch it. Now. I’ve been a pretty big fan of Floyd Mayweather throughout his career. He’s a great boxer. Possibly one of the greatest. That said he’s also scum. He’s a woman beater and I hope Robert Guerrero kicks his…

Fighting In Baseball?
With last night’s brawl between the Dodgers and Padres resulting in a major injury for Zack Greinke I got to wondering why fights occur in Baseball? Now a $147 million dollar investment is on the shelf. Is there really any excuse at all for charging the mound? Baseball isn’t like hockey. Hockey has two willing…

Ch-ch-ch-ch-Changes
TiGO has made some changes the past few months. I never properly welcomed everyone aboard so I want to do that now. Rich and Melissa are still doing the previews and recaps for Pirates games. And seriously, is there a better balance of Pirates stuff in the blogosphere? We also added some other writers. Zach…
