About Joe »

Hi,
I've grown up a sports freak. When I was a kid, we'd play sports as long as the weather allowed outside and then we would move inside and play in the basement.
I've played and coached a lot of different sports. I've been a referee and an umpire for a number of years and I've won a few coaching awards. I enjoy writing and love debate. Thanks for reading my stuff.

    New Article: Hines Ward Needs To Shut Up

    I get it. He's frustrated. He doesn't like losing. He probably thinks that if Ben was in the game, they might have won. I mean, they almost won it with Dennis Dixon...

    Hey,

    The turmoil surrounding the 1977 Yankees earned them the nickname of “The Bronx Zoo.” The current 2009 Yankees have an interesting blend of leaders and pranksters, so I decided to create a LITERAL “zoo.”

    Check out what animal each Yankee would be reincarnated as in a next life.

    Thanks everyone!

    Hey,

    Chien-Ming Wang collected his 1st win in 379 days. This puts him on pace to reach 300 wins on Oct. 21, 2263. Can it happen? Read why I am not ruling the tall Taiwanese right-hander out quite yet.

    Thanks in advance!
