The New York Yankees have won the 2009 World Series. They won it the same way they won there other 26 titles…pitching, timely hitting, and unshakeable defense. That has always been the formula to winning a World Series. In spite of their $200 million dollar plus payroll, the Yankees earned this one the old fashioned way. Their pitching was phenomenal. The Yankees had failed to win another

The money season in the NBA starts Saturday and if the regular season is any indication of the postseason; than NBA fans are in for a treat. The subplots in the 2007 NBA Playoffs are more intricate than a Quentin Tarantino movie (Side note: I love all of his movies!).

Remember in elementary school when the science teachers would ask the students to conduct a very simple experiment to show the difference between nature and nurture. The student would take two seeds and plant them in separate cups of dirt. One would be placed in the window the other in a closet. Both would be watered on a consistent basis to maintain a control in the experiment. At the end of the

Super Bowl Sunday…the only day where even the big guy excuses you for missing church. The snacks are big. The entertainment is big. And depending on the teams, the ratings are big. The commercials are so funny and subliminal, that one 30 second mind controlling ad will cost 2.6 million dollars. There is so much to enjoy about the Super Bowl: Media Day, Super Bowl Parties and Super-sized trouble.

Led by the bionic arm of Drew Brees, the ’06-’07 Saints now have the inside track on the #2 seed in the NFC.
