‘The Cardinal Countdown: 100 Days Until Kickoff’
Some of the more challenging words I write every single year are the ones that start this series on Day 100. How could I possibly encapsulate my excitement or energy about an entire upcoming season into a single paragraph, or even a single post, without sounding like a blabbering idiot for two thousand words?!? I […]

Hoopaholic’s Gazette: NBA Draft Withdrawal Dreadline
How does the line go? He played ’em like a Stradivarius? Something like that. I’m thinking about Milan Momcilovic (and his very adroit financial team). By waiting until the last moment to report he shall return to college hoops, he shall be reaping the benefits of a pot of gold at the end of the […]

Bidunga Report & Other Pending Decisions
Even though I have not seen a statement from Flory Bidunga himself, or his agent, the reports are so many that he is withdrawing from the NBA Draft, such that I feel more comfortable this May morning that he’ll suit up for the Cardinals come autumn. Earlier reports that he “signed” with the Cardinals were […]
Pigskin Prattle: Lookin’ Ahead
I don’t always think about football in May. But when I do, I drink Dr. Brown’s Diet Cream Soda. Stay thirsty, my friends. So, yeah, it’s drizzly, as it is most every Memorial Day weekend it seems. Didn’t there used to be a Reggae Fest at the Water Tower that would get rained upon more […]

The Bidunga Wait is Over. Maybe.
I now dodder. I get confused. I’ve eaten with the same two guys every Wednesday for a couple decades now. We rotate who chooses where. When Mr. B proclaimed the venue in our text feed yesterday, I immediately confused it with two other restaurants along Frankfort Avenue. It happens more often than ever. Which is […]

A Hoopaholic in Verklemptitude
When awakening to the news, my inner Linda Richman (Mike Myers) kicked in. Like the day she and her bestie Liz Rosenberg (Madonna) were kvelling about all matters Streisand and then were visited by Barbra herself during an episode of “Coffee Talk.” Vapors ensued. Pat Kelsey, who has done more than any reasonable diehard could […]
Will Stein wants Louisville-Kentucky football game back at week one
Ever since the Louisville-Kentucky football rivalry game’s permanent move to the final week of the regular season, there has been a clamoring from both fan bases to transport the Battle for the Governor’s Cup back to week one.
