When Dodger manager Dave Roberts bullpen is successful he looks like a genius , when it fails he looks like an idiot. But let's be clear-he has made some truly idiotic decisions!

Amen to this stupidity. In a game in which the entire object of the sport is to get "Downfield", penalizing a player for doing this is beyond ludicrous. This seems like nothing more than a second tier ref getting a chance to throw a flag so his grand kids can see him on TV....

Little was learned from the Charlie Weis debacle at Notre Dame. His payoff was only $19 million, paltry by today's standards but shocking then and it took ND six years to pay him off. Kelly was never a great coach and couldn't win the big games. In addition he was a whiner and a crybaby and his...

By any measure that was a truly ugly game. It rained yellow flags. Neither team looked ready for prime time. Questionable coaching, play calling, refereeing, everything seemed to be a step off and out of sync. Bad mojo all around.

Whoever wins it will have a tough assignment with the Dodgers. They are rested, focused and have been there before and are not intimidated by the big stage. They had the most come from behind wins in baseball this year and are just damned hard to beat when the chips are down. But after seeing...

It is damned crazy indeed to think that sports coaches can make tens of millions of dollars while teachers are underpaid and often have to work summer jobs to make ends meet. Sports stars can now make millions while still in college whereas many students graduate with overwhelming debt that...

Probably both. The talking heads do have a tendency to parrot each other though.....

Brian Kelly is a hapless twit

On YouTube I see a number of different attempts to make fire starters out of sawdust and wax and the effort, time and expense of doing that. Most attempts seem counterproductive considering how few starters you get for all of your efforts. The wax cost money and you need a lot of it and it...

In the overwhelming Dodger sweep their much maligned starting pitching staff gave up 4 runs in 4 games. Three home runs by the starting pitcher along with 10 strikeouts and no runs has set a high bar that will probably never be seen again. Glad I got to see history made, the Dodgers 25th NL...

Us Dodger fans have little concern at this point, it is pretty much a cinch that they are going to the World Series. 8 wins against only 1 loss in the playoffs is pretty damned dominating. Just one more win in four chances against a team that can't score against them and they will be in the...

.....and closer to the fridge!

After going all season without ever seeing the M's once-blacked out on MLB TV-I finally get to see them and they are at their best. Hopefully you fans will be rewarded for over 40 years of patience and get to see them in the Series. As a Dodger fan for almost 80 years I am hoping they get to...

I haven't been there for 27 years so this is useless information. But I used to like to put in at the first launch point I came to and kick clockwise down the left side to the white slide. I caught some nice browns there over the years and hit a mayfly hatch near the white slide that produced a...

Anybody using them? I have thought about one for years but the irritating click-click-click of the fuel pump always made them a non starter to me. I simply could never get to sleep with that incessant pump noise. The good ones, like Webasto, were prohibitively expensive and still are. In the...
