Meet Ortis Deley – He’s Really Bad At This
I often feel bad for Brian Collins. Name doesn’t ring a bell? He was the Ball State University student made famous by being an absolutely horrendous Sportscaster. Still doesn’t ring a bell? How about this “…and BOOM goes the dynamite!” Ah ha! now you remember. (if you don’t I embedded the video below). Collins has […]

Do Any NHL Players Have All of Their Teeth?
One of the greatest parts of working in a sports newsroom, surrounded by other passionate sports fans, insiders and analysts, are the debates and discussions that rage on daily. Newsroom debates can be like living a National Geographic video where Lions fight for supremacy on the Savannah, you can’t show weakness in these debates or […]

Twitter Provides Brief Glimpse into NFL Post-game Conversation
I’ve always wondered why there aren’t more fights after NFL games. These guys spend 60 minutes trying to maim each other, and yet they join in the middle of the field after the game and give out man hugs like they were Skittles at a 5-year old birthday party. Logan Mankins punches a guy in […]

The easy answer is to say fans of the Pac-12 are the biggest winners, but it’s not that simple, the increased access will cost Pac-12 fans on their monthly cable bill. The real winner here could be ESPN. Fearful of ESPN’s near monopolistic dominance of sports programming, many media insiders and fans have long wished […]

The Hypocrisy of the MLB All-Star Game
I’m far from a Major League Baseball traditionalist – bring on the Wild Card, Interleague Play and lots of instant replay and I believe you get a better baseball product for the fans at home. But the All-Star game deciding who has home field advantage for the World Series – that just irks me to […]

The Worst Week to be a Sports Producer
For a sports producer at a regional or national sports network, the most difficult show to produce is a 6pm hour long show during the week. Game highlights from the previous night are too old to use and no new games have generally taken place, you are totally dependent on fresh news and your own […]

How to Fix the NFL in Five Steps
I had a preview to what my life would be like without the NFL this year and it was not pretty. It was all because of the weather. The power was out in my house for six hours and I had to spend the time actually talking to my wife, who by the way does […]

NBA Lockout Equals NHL Opportunity
If NBA super agent David Falk is to be believed, the NBA is in serious danger of losing the entire 2011-12 season in order to radically change the way they do business. While sports fans will be the biggest loser, the NHL is first in line to be the biggest winner. The NHL considers themselves […]
