The Orioles tonight selected RHP KEVIN GAUSMAN of Louisiana State University with their first selection in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft, the fourth overall pick of the Draft.

Of course with my good buddy Rick Jaklitsch at the helm of the MGN, success is almost guaranteed. Thousnads of dollars for the football program were raised through ticket sales and a silent auction. I sat at a table with Assistant Head Coach Greg Gattuso. A quiet confidence exists amongst the coaches. You can’t be around this program without feeling the unity and bonding together . Johnny Holliday hosted the event which officially was a pairings party for tomorrow’s golf … Read More »
Sunday night I had an opportunity to sit down and chat with CJ Brown for a few minutes. CJ is a very confident young man. He appears to be in A1 physical condition. He is very happy with Coack Locksley offensive schemes. A few of the coaches told me that CJ relishes his role as QB1.

Champions are never afraid to lay matches on the line. Recently, LeBron has been criticized for backing off game winning shots.

Kristi Toliver’s buzzer-beating 3-pointer to lift the Los Angeles Sparks over the Tulsa Shock on Tuesday night was a dramatic, exciting and memorable moment. Add it to a growing list for the fourth-year point guard. Toliver has become a load-carrier for the Sparks, who improved to 4-1 with the win to stay on the heels of unbeaten Minnesota in the Western Conference. And that is something of a new role for the former Maryland star, who had not quite found her WNBA footing … Read More »
A few years back Montrose Coach Stu Vetter told me that in a short time Kevin Durant will be considered the best player in the NBA. After watching his stirring 4th quarter performance last night, that time might have arrived. Game 5 on Monday night should be a classic.

Dixon fired in a pair of 2-point goals in totaling seven points while Brooks scored the game-tying and winning goals in totaling five points for Chesapeake, which improved its record to 4-1 and moved into a first place tie with Boston.“This was a real character win and I’m very proud of our players,” Chesapeake … Read More »
