They Named It “San Diego”: Harmon Attends Chargers Training Camp
Each year, I make several long treks along our nation’s highways to take in the glorious sounds of crashing helmets, popping pads and air horns. Yes, I said air horns. It’s a Pavlovian experience. You might not understand. There is a magic in the air that surrounds training camps. You’re not watching NFL players under […]

Your MLB Weekend Update: One-Line Quick Hits (4.8.12)
The first set of “Opening Days’ have now completed, and fans are already hammering on message boards about bullpen struggles, hitting woes and strategical miscalculations (the decision to have CC Sabathia intentionally walk the bases loaded for Carlos Pena ended, shall we say, terribly on Saturday). This week, fans in the remaining ballparks will have […]
FMC: The Oneders Propel Calipari to His First Title
He’s one of the most divisive men in sports. You say the name “Calipari” amongst a group of college hoops fans and you’re more likely to hear diatribes about the NCAA and vacated Final Four appearances than an assessment of his coaching and recruiting skills.

The Road to Swoll: Accountability
The “Road to Swoll” is on in southern California. I don’t suspect that I’ll see much of a difference in my huge head, but we’re working on an overall reduction in 2012. I believe that I still have a few blitzes left in me for the annual turkey bowl, and perhaps I’ll get a look-see […]
