For no particular rhyme or reason other than being fun for me to do and hopefully you to read, I’ve decided to occasionally recap old WWE Monday Night Raw shows (Smackdown will be a future project). At least for me, it’s cool to recreate many Monday nights I evidently didn’t recall as easily as I … Read More

Yanks Literally Turning Their Fortunes Around
The Yankees are literally turning their fortunes around from where they were a year ago. Last night’s come from behind 8-6 victory over the Blue Jays saw them improve to 17-9 in 2017. A year ago at this it was the complete opposite with New York off to a 9-17 start. They find themselves a … Read More
Thoughts: Greg Bird Lands On DL
The Yankees placed first basemen Greg Bird on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday with a bruised right ankle. The 24-year old has been (mostly) playing on the sore ankle since fouling a ball off it during a spring training game in late March. Yankees manager Joe Girardi said Bird had a MRI in New York … Read More
Titus O’Neil Hates Kayfabe
WWE is touring Italy and has a live (Raw) event tonight in Rome. Titus O’Neil posted a few photos featuring some of the rassler’s enjoying their down time, and one includes bitter rivals Braun Strowman and Roman Reigns together at the Roman Colosseum. Considering Reigns is nursing “internal injuries” and Strowman suffered a “torn rotator … Read More
Jimmy Kimmel’s Emotional Monologue
On his show Monday night, talk show host Jimmy Kimmel revealed his newborn son’s health scare/crisis during one of the most emotional monologues you’ll ever see on television.

Favorite 100 Songs of the 80s: (#76) Michael Jackson & Paul McCartney – Say Say Say
It doesn’t get more powerful musically in the 1980’s and quite possibly any decade before or since than when music royalty Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney collaborated on a song. If you’re into today’s music, it’s the equivalent of a Bruno Mars/Ed Sheeran duet. “Say Say Say” was actually the second time the two got … Read More
Favorite 100 Songs of the 80s: (#77) Whitney Houston – Greatest Love Of All
If you’ve followed this countdown thus far, I offer your biggest takeaway—-George Benson originals ain’t shit compared to those that’ve covered him. Benson originally recorded “Nothing’s Going To Change My Love For You”, which eventually was covered by Glenn Mederios and a huge hit in 1986 (No. 86 on this countdown). Lightning strikes again here. … Read More
La Canfora: Pegula Wanted Patrick Mahomes
So this tweet from CBS Sports NFL insider Jason LaCanfora happened early Monday afternoon. First and foremost it’s worth noting that LaCanfora should be applauded for his Buffalo Bills front office and coaching staff reporting in recent months. He was the first to suggest Rex Ryan could be fired before last season ended (he was) … Read More
Grading The Bills 2017 Draft
Tendering my thoughts on the Buffalo Bills 2017 NFL draft late Sunday/early Monday as opposed to real time is no accident. I’m inherently wired with a formidable tendency to dramatize everything the Bills do and express knee jerk reactions in lieu of marinating thoughts before penning opinions. I decided this year to mentally process the … Read More
