The Sunshine Hockey Empire

The pantheon of fantastic athletes in The Sunshine Empire is a long and glorious list.  From Emmit Smith, to Tony Boselli, to Danny Wuerffel, to Vincent Lecavalier, to Fred Taylor, to Hanley Ramirez, to Jimmy Smith, to Martin St. Louis, to Tim Tebow, to David Garrard, to Scott Kazmir, to Maurice Jones-Drew, to the next […]

Tiger Woods Walks The Walk

I am a huge sports fan, but I absolutely loathe most sports broadcasting.  Most Sports pundits rarely if every predict anything brave beyond stating that last years champion will win again this year, and most play by play men are steeped in hysterics trying to be the next Johnny Most or Myron Cope.  When broadcasters […]

The Other Gap-Toothed New York Celebrity Retires

The Ghost At Number One

It’s hard to admit in the Sunshine Empire and the Sunshine State that you are a closet hockey fan, but I’ve been a loyal Tampa Bay Lightning fan since the team’s origination in 1992. My father took me to see the Lightning play the defending conference champion Chicago Blackhawks at the old Expo Hall […]

With A Red Bull On Sunday Morning

-After taking some time for some important drinking, and golf I wanted to drop in during my weekend long celebration of James Garner’s birthday to touch on a variety of subjects. After mentioning Phillipe Sands story in Vanity Fair and how David Addington, Rumsfeld, and company should not leave the country, Andrew Sullivan made […]
