The Jersey Dilemma

One of the fun things about being a sports fan is the endless amount of cool things a person can buy at the Team Shop.  Team hats and t-shirts are an easy and safe purchase – not too pricey and fairly long lasting. Player shirts are not very expensive and offer the fan a chance …

Saturday Spitballin’ with Andy: I’m Proud to be an American

My posts so far, as limited as they’ve been, have been completed mostly with a comical/entertaining intent. This one’s a little different. Many of you may know (hopefully) that Donald Trump’s inauguration ceremony was yesterday. This event, along with the entire election process and Trump’s campaign has stirred quite the controversy. Many politicians, people with …

And Then There Were Four

This past weekend had four NFL playoff games that took the remaining eight teams down to the final four.  There were many hopes and dreams placed on these games, and some of those were crushed while others remain for another week.  Three more NFL games are left – how did we get to the end …

Why yes of course I’ll explain, I’m glad you asked. Every day, beginning December 1, Marissa gave me a gift specifically designed for …

Rivalries

The Pittsburgh Steelers and the Cleveland Browns have had an ongoing rivalry since 1950 when Cleveland won the first game, and went on to win the next seven! That win streak didn’t last long, and now Pittsburgh leads Cleveland in the all time series with an overall record of 69-58.  The largest victory the Browns …
