We’ve had Brexit and Donald Trump; now we have the nation of Colombia rejecting a landmark peace agreement between the government and the former rebel group FARC — a deal that took over four years to negotiate and would have formally ended five decades of war. Who can predict anything with accuracy these days? Closer to home, for the […]

Here’s something you don’t hear very often — if you intend to attend tonight’s Tampa Bay Rays versus San Francisco Giants game at Tropicana Field, you better already have a ticket. The team announced earlier this week they would make all open seats for the game available for their annual Pride Night for just $5, with […]

Good morning, people, and welcome to the Summer of 2016. For some of us, it’s already off to a rollicking start, what the Golden State Warriors becoming the first team in 34 years to come back from a 3-1 deficit in the NBA Conference Finals in defeating Oklahoma City in Oakland last night. Among the […]

Well, Mark Cuban looks pretty prescient this morning. The Dallas Mavericks owner told Chuck Todd on NBC’s Meet The Press yesterday that he thinks the Oklahoma City Thunder will take the NBA title next month. The Thunder look pretty ascendant today after humiliating my Golden State Warriors last night in Oklahoma City, and now lead that series 2-1. […]

Well, so much for that much-anticipated San Antonio-Golden State NBA Western Final. Congrats to the Oklahoma City Thunder, who took down the Spurs in six. Gotta love the unexpected. Today the Republican Party of Florida hosts the first of a two-day spring meeting in Tampa. I just realized the Republicans always hold these type of […]

Congratulations to the Tampa Bay Lightning and their fans, after the local NHL franchise defeated the NY Islanders yesterday afternoon and now advance to the Eastern Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs! While the Lightning were thrashing New York, I was paying more attention to the LeBron James-led Cleveland Cavaliers dismantling Atlanta to sweep […]

Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders won big-time in Wisconsin Tuesday night, but you already knew that. Did you know that the University of Connecticut women’s basketball team won their fourth straight NCAA championship Tuesday night, or that the Golden State Warriors stunningly lost in O.T. in Oakland, requiring them to sweep their remaining four games […]

Good morning, and welcome to the first full day of spring 2016. While ESPN was being trashed via Twitter for hailing Fidel Castro‘s “love of sports,” American fans were absorbed in watching the college basketball playoffs, where we’re now down to the Sweet 16 in what is also known as “March Madness,” a/k/a “The Final Four,” […]

Well, Carlos Beruff is now officially about to get into the GOP Senate race. Our interview this week with current leader David Jolly has his take. Can we talk about greatness? In Orlando, the Golden State Warriors come to town at 7 p.m. to play the Magic at Amway Center. You may have heard about […]

I know soccer aficionados (somewhat pretentiously) like to call their favorite sport “The Beautiful Game.” As much as I respect that it’s the world’s favorite sport, it ain’t America’s. That would be football. Personally, I would advocate that basketball is actually the most beautiful sport when it’s executed the way the San Antonio Spurs did two years […]
