My reaction to the news of George Steinbrenner’s was akin to getting a phone call informing me that an extended family member had passed. The first phone call I made was to my father.
Being only twenty-eight years old, I haven’t known of a Yankees team without Steinbrenner steering the ship: uncompromised, undeterred by others, […]
This article is a continuation of Sports Week, an uncompromised view of sports from the eyes of yours truly. Today, we discuss the elephant in the room of the sports world right now. Oh, wait, that’s not an elephant, it’s just Lebron James’s enormous ego.
Lebron James has a ritual. Before the start of every […]
Last week’s blog post about cover bands, “Taking a Peak Under the Covers,” should have been “Taking a Peek Under the Covers.” I was really embarrassed until I realized that none of you noticed. Not one person! What the what?!
Anyway, here’s our first installment for […]
I’m devoting this week to a topic that produces no small amount of inspiration and always elicits an interesting and visceral reaction from people.

It’s exactly the type of wrong-headed thinking that has gotten this State into the position it is today.
Reilly’s […]
This month, The Times Union released its 2010 “Best Of” and, as per the usual, I was dismayed at some of the choices. I mean c’mon, Domino’s Pizza for “Best Pizza?” I’d rather jump up and down with a loaded gun in my mouth than eat something from Domino’s. And I’m not even a foodie!

A 6’9″ South Carolina man who fought at 155 pounds and was nicknamed “Tree” due to his unusually gaunt frame has died after injuries sustained from a fight on Saturday night during a mixed Pro/Am event.
The fight was his first as a professional. He had previously accumulated a record of 3-3 as an amateur.

So what now?
I know I’m not completely on an island here, but I’m sure judging by the reaction I’ve already received in private conversation and on Twitter, I’m bound to get some heat for suggesting that the enthusiasm Americans have been showing for soccer is at best temporary, and reserved only for the biggest […]
Two weekends ago, during the telecast for the Tony Awards, local theater-phile and All Over Albany co-founder Mary Darcy posted a status update on Facebook. In the update, she mentioned her enthusiasm for Angela Lansbury, and how she applauded and cheered when Lansbury arrived onstage.
“Oh, silly […]
