NCAA Hoops is Living Up To Its Maddening Reputation
2008-02-11 16:59:00 February is living up to its reputation here in the northeast. Single digit temperatures combined with forty mile per hour gusts have denizens shivering.

Smitty thinks.. Time for some High Stakes Poker
2008-02-07 02:51:00 First let?s log this not under what Smitty says, but what is rattling around in Smitty?s brain.

The Giants, St. Jude, and Casey
2008-02-04 20:54:00 I?m not gonna lie. I gave the New York Giants very little chance of defeating the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLII.

Happy non-official Holiday!
2008-02-03 18:41:00 As I wrestled through the aisles of my local Fortune 500 grocers, I was reminded how today is the most holiday-like of non-holidays.
