About Jay »

5'8 140 (ding!) 1LT, United States Army. I found myself wanting to write about sports several times on my philosophy blog www.appliedpragmatism.blogspot.com so I decided to open this account to get my thoughts down. I'm from Nebraska, but try to cover everything when I write. I will do game recaps from time to time, but I prefer to work from a broader angle. If you leave a comment I will do everything I can to get back to you and continue the conversation. Recently I have added a film blog www.cinemacomment.blogspot.com

The Shortlist »

  • Favorite Athletes

    Emmitt Smith,

  • Favorite Sports Teams

    STL Cardinals, KC Royals, Nebraska Cornhuskers

  • All Time Sports Moment

    Nebraska winning the 1996 Fiesta Bowl, the '95 Orange Bowl was more defining, but the Fiesta Bowl game showed this youngster that execution and professionalism can defeat flash no matter how technically superior one system looks

  • Most Memorable Game Attended

    2002 Huskers vs. Colorado. The first time I saw the Huskers lose in person

  • Most Unbreakable Sports Record

    stolen bases,,, nobody does that anymore

  • Ruth or Mays?

    Mays

  • Unitas or Montana?

    Montana,,, that's like asking Michael Jordan or Oscar Robertson,,, their might be a discussion,,, if anyone could remember the other guy

  • Pele or Maradona?

    Who cares?

  • Pac 10, Big 12, Big 10, SEC, ACC, or Big East?

    Big 12 top to bottom, from football, to baseball, to basketball, to track.

Yea, the Thunder Collins "I'm no snitch" thing was so unbelievably ridiculous that I could barely believe it. So you know who did it, but you're not going to tell the police and save your ass? Meanwhile, every person who was present at the shooting pointed you out as the shooter? Yeah, whatever helps you sleep at night Thunder.


I didn't like Castille at 250, but I was excited to see what he did at 225/230. I just get nervous because it seems like Roy's hamstring is acting up every other week.

Thanks for the read man.

Thanks for the help. I have a knack of throwing in irrelevant things into my articles and not explaining them that well. Take a look at my other articles if you get the chance.

When I did my show at Rider, I actually never got a chance to bring the baseball team on the show as guests. Their season always conflicted with my show time.

Thanks for the edits and the feedback. I usually stick to news pieces where something is summarized and facts are presented, so I'm a little new to writing my opinion into an article, which is probably why it was a little hard to find my true side in the story.

Jay, I'm not working in firefox today so here's some editor's feedback.

Nice article! I tweaked your headline and teaser and also made some minor stylistic changes. Make sure everything checks out to your liking—keep up the great work!
