I was watching LeBron James and the Miami Heat blast the Orlando Magic last night.  James got called for a foul which he didn’t believe was a good call.  James got called for a technical foul for running away from the referee in protest. Under the new “respect for the game” rule, players can neither be demonstrative when questioning fouls nor show excess exuberance if they make a good play. I think this new rule stinks.  I also feel it has racial undertones to it as well.  From my vantage point, it makes no sense why an athlete cannot feed off ...

In the Harry Potter novels, Voldemort is also known as “He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.”   In Tennessee Volunteers football lore, Lane Kiffin equals Lord Voldemort. The Vols’ controversial ex-coach infamously ditched Knoxville after a single season for the posh, golden coast of Los Angeles, and the head coaching job at the University of Southern California. Even in his lone season, Kiffin managed to cause controversy with false and thoughtless remarks, famously accusing Urban Meyer, University of Florida’s head coach, of NCAA violations. In reality, it was Kiffin who blatantly committed multiple NCAA violations, largely the result of his mouth—more specifically, the words he ...

Everyone stop what you're doing right now.  Stop reading this column and go straight to Hallmark to purchase an "I'm Sorry LeBron" card.

Are people born greedy?  From the day out of the womb, we're told we can be what we want to be, do what we want to do and nothing is unachievable. Our goal in life isn't to help others. It's to help ourselves first, and along the way if we just so happen to improve someone else's life, then we did something right.  For some people these things can coincide; helping others is helping yourself. Let's face the facts here.  If your life mission and career path is in line with helping others, then you're doing it for yourself.  You enjoy the ...

Whether you were the god or the goat of the first half of the season doesn’t matter, just remember there’s always tomorrow and always another line to lay your money on. So call it a rebirth, a reawakening, a resurrection or a rejuvenation—whatever floats your boat. Just look forward and continue to focus on the future.We’ve got some games sitting out there this Saturday that are just begging for some action.So, in the good spirit of all things holy, ...
