Tiger Woods is finally being brought to his knees. Augusta couldn't do it. Pebble Beach, neither. Nor could any of the vaunted courses across the pond. A four-stroke deficit on a Sunday doesn't faze Woods, either...
I’m going to make a preemptive strike here. An end-around, if you will, to head them off at the pass. I’m getting my own iron hot. Not enough time to wait for others to reach the proper temp...
Cinderella's coach really did turn back into a pumpkin. Hansel and Gretel got caught after all. None of the pigs got around to building a joint out of brick. John Elway's legend is safe once again...
Time to give thanks. I suppose I can muster up the will to do that. It's only once a year, after all. So, here goes... I'm thankful for Army-Navy, even though I never watch it. I'm thankful for Brandon Inge...
First, a semi-major announcement—“The Knee Jerks” will be moving up a couple of hours! Beginning Dec. 14, you’ll be able to get your jerkosity two hours earlier...
It'll be a cornucopia of football tonight on "The Knee Jerks," the weekly Blog Talk Radio gabfest I co-host with Big Al Beaton of The Wayne Fontes Experience ...
Someday, they’ll have Ford Field’s capacity up to a quarter million, for as many people who will claim to have been there. The Cleveland Browns will be defending league champions. Matthew Stafford will have been carried onto the field on a stretcher...
I’m a little early on this, I admit. I’m jumping the gun, but this time they can’t call me back to the starting blocks. You heard it here first, then...
They’re putting a Michigan-Ohio State football game on this Saturday, right on schedule. The third Saturday in November, usually. You used to circle the date. Now you happen upon it, by accident...
Brendan Shanahan shouldn’t have been a hockey player. He should have been tasting wine, or taking in the theater. Or maybe he should have been in the aisle behind you at the bookstore, helping ...
First, a semi-major announcement: “The Knee Jerks” will be moving up a couple of hours! Beginning Dec. 14, you’ll be able to get your jerkosity two hours earlier...
It's a hockey-centric episode tonight (Monday) on "The Knee Jerks," my weekly gabfest on Blog Talk Radio with my co-host, Al Beaton , as we talk all things Detroit Red Wings and NHL with Kahn...
The Lions proved once again that they have a losing foundation. The mix that was poured to create it includes an impressive blend of poor blocking, miserable tackling, and an obscene pass rush and coverage...
Curtis Granderson is a nice guy. He’s the kind of man any father would be thrilled to have his daughter marry. He is one of the true ambassadors of baseball, and I don’t throw those kinds of words around willy-nilly...
Ben Wallace is a 35-year-old NBA big man who is playing like he’s 25. For now. There’s been a lot of ballyhoo over Wallace, who the Pistons snatched from the jaws of retirement last summer and signed for a league pittance...
Believe it or not, half of the Lions’ 16-game NFL schedule has been played, so after a suggestion from Big Al Beaton, my co-host on the weekly gabfest “The Knee Jerks” , we gathered around the campfire, and had ourselves a mid-season review...
The Lions blew a game on Sunday, but you can hardly blame them. It wasn’t exactly a familiar situation for them. The Lions lost, and those betting that the Seahawks would cover their 10-point ...
He played hockey in Waterford, growing up in the northern Oakland County burg in the 1970s—a decade of horrors when it came to his local team, the Detroit Red Wings...
They don't make arenas like Olympia Stadium anymore. Hell, they don't make buildings like it anymore.I don't know of any place where an escalator lifts you up at an 80 degree angle, which it ...
All those Jim Zorn haters out there ought to rev up their engines again. They ought to bang down Redskins owner Dan Snyder's door, and demand that Zorn get the ziggy...
Football has had a fascination with the morose when it comes to handing out monikers to the game’s greatest defensive platoons. We’ve had Steel Curtains and Doomsday and Purple People Eaters...
They don’t win championships in Philadelphia. If they do, it’s a fluke—something that someone pulled over on God. Every three decades or so, one of the teams will screw up the ecosystem and snatch a title out from under fate’s nose...
Strength in the middle. It’s been bantered about in all the major team sports. NBA championships, folks used to say by rote, can’t be won without a dominant big man clogging up the middle...
So this much we know. One evening, in the not-too-distant future, fans will look to the rafters at Joe Louis Arena—or wherever the Red Wings will be playing by then—and see a large red "jersey" with a white No...
Things are apparently so bad with the Lions that they don’t even show up for their games anymore. The Lions yesterday set football back in Detroit all the way to…2008...
