That card made so many dreams come true for me. My two all time favorite players, together, with a piece of their game used jerseys, with a repair stitch on the Hasek? Beyond perfect.
And now it begins. The 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The best two months in sports, with the greatest trophy on Earth at [...]
So, as you can see, Typhoid Mary has led me to the promised land. The artist known as Red. Living in Montreal, surely as excited as we are about the playoffs starting tommorrow night. Each one of those cards was randomly packaged by Upper Deck and flung to the far corners of the collecting universe. [...]
That just about says it all. The dreams, the realities, the hope and the beauty of our fair city on Opening Day. I love you Miami!
That was Mark Fidrych at the height of his inspirational Rookie of the Year season. He lit a fuse that exploded all over the baseball world, bringing joy to the masses. He gave everyone a call to arms, celebrating his unique kookiness while performing at the top level of his sport. He was a freak, [...]
Sports and Superheroes. Two great tastes that taste great together. Clicking that link will time travel you back one year, and Nina will be wishing luck to Dontrelle Willis in person, as he rubs my belly.

Sidney Crosby, already anointed as the next big thing, got smacked around OUR house like a felt-covered stuffed [...]
Time to see that pose with Stu Barnes underneath. Brad Richards (and Johan Holmqvist) to the Dallas Stars for Mike Smith, Jussi Jokinen, and Jeff Halpern. The deal is done, and I love the move. They kept the fishsticks, and now Stu has his sights set straight on the heart of the Cup.
Word.
Yes, I actually own a piece of Joe Namath’s old clothes. If there is a big enough drop of sweat in there, we might be able to clone him. Technology keeps getting better each day. Soon, nothing really will be impossible.
Last night was grand entertainment on a massive scale. The 1972 Dolphins, the team I [...]
Nina and I did some divination last night for Super Bowl XLII. Four random card and board games, one for each quarter. She was the Giants, I was the Pats. This is what we got. I am posting this at 9:24 am Eastern Standard. The game is still 9 hours away. We shall see how [...]
