  1. Hello Kent, I would like you to take a look at this article and leave your support in the comment area. I would love to see this story make a difference. Pass it around! Thanks

  2. I would love your thoughts on the Spurs' offseason.

    You still think the "reign of brilliance is over?"

    I had no idea the team could upgrade as quickly or as thoroughly as it has. Jefferson, a superb defender, deadly scorer and all-around athlete, for three bit role players--also the oldest guys on the team; Dejuan Blair as one of the steals in the draft; Antonio McDyess, 35, but as smart and effective as most starting big guys, plus a low-risk acquisition in Marcus Haislip (only 28 and still brimming with athleticism)...

    And, a few youngsters from the Summer League which a chance to be impact, rotation players.

    The squad's average age has dropped from nearly 30 to 27.5 in a mater of weeks (that's without Blair factored in), and the Spurs now have the best talent at positions 1-4 in the league.

    Your thoughts?

  3. Hey,

    It’s been a very long time since I have extended an article of mine to the Bulletin Boards of my friends/fans, but this one is filled with the true venom and passion of a frustrated Yankees fan. The days of consistent success are over, and this baseball lifer is blaming Brian Cashman. Read how he has displayed the baseball knowledge of a little leaguer in assembling Yankee teams of the last 7 years.

    I would love to hear your feedback on this one. Thanks everyone!

  4. Hey,

    Read about a metaphoric but also personalized tale about a cocky Yankees fan realizing the harsh realities and lessons of professional athletics. I would love to hear your opinions.

    Here's my latest, a case for Albert Pujols as the greatest of all time. Please give it a read and let me know what you think. Thanks

  6. Hey,

    The Yankees have been putrid against Boston this year, especially over a 3-game sweep in Fenway Park. They are returning to the scene of the crime tonight, and this slideshow highlights 5 major reasons why this time around could be very different:

    I would love to hear your feedback and input, and I look forward to talking to you soon. Thanks in advance!

  8. It appears as though Nick Swisher’s Yankees honeymoon is coming to a close, and is being replaced with married life. Smiles are quickly transitioning into expressions of concern. Read about how bad it has gotten for Swish in the Bronx.

    Thanks in advance!

    I am really pleased with the reaction to this article I wrote last night, just to blow off steam from a long day at work. I didn't really pimp it at all, but since it's gotten a good response I thought I would push a bit. Take a look if you have time today. Thanks

  10. Hey Kent,

    Melky Cabrera hit a walk-off home run last night for the Yankees, but the score and the win paled in comparison to Brett Gardner’s remarkable story. Read how he brought a smile and hope to a sick little girl in NYC.

  11. Hey Kent,

    Ryan Zimmerman’s hit streak halted at 30 games last night. As one streak ends, another is admired. Read about how Joe DiMaggio forever redefined ’56,’ and how his feat may never be broken. It is a record that thankfully cannot be broken through steroid use, and represents all that was once right in a game that has since gone so wrong.

  13. Hey Kent,

    In the wake of countless college graduations around the country, it is once again time for the Yankees to go through the GPA gauntlet. See if you agree with the Yankees strengths, weaknesses, and individual grading. I would love to hear your comments and feedback.
