What has changed to trigger the Tennessee Titans’ turnaround is obvious. Running back Chris Johnson has been a constant, however, producing highlights even during the team’s lowest moments.
Josh Peek seems to be one of those cowboys who believes that timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. He’s big on faith, on a higher being guiding our destiny.
My mother is a small, forgetful, cheerful Irish immigrant who never drove a day in her life, is convinced mashed potatoes aren’t the same without mixing in that fourth stick of butter and always thinks the next cup of coffee she drinks is the best of her lifetime.
About the current waterfowl hunting conditions, a hunter named B. Shaw reported Tuesday that there is “no migration” and “few local birds.” Weather conditions are sunny, with early-morning temperatures ranging from 51 to 60 degrees. The day before, B. Julain reported similar hunting conditions.
One of these days, Tony Romo might put the puzzle pieces together and become a complete quarterback. For now, though, the leader of the Dallas Cowboys is perceived as a falling star.
Mike Sanford insists he is going to stay off the field more during games this season, which is a good thing considering UNLV’s football team has an opportunity to flirt with its first winning record since 2000.
See. This is what sport needs more of, and I’m not talking about some golf fan playing a flatulence machine along a fairway to make it sound as if Tiger Woods cut a big one while waiting to hit a shot over the weekend.
Brian France has been hanging around the garage too long because the fumes seem to be messing with his senses.
The point guard in Robert Smith could handle tonight without dropping a tear or bead of sweat. Calm. Cool. A massive grip around his emotions.
The Triple Crown is a grueling five-week campaign that few horses go through nowadays. In fact, Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird and Flying Private will be the only horses to race in the Derby, Preakness and Belmont Stakes this year.
DETROIT — It’s almost like the whole UFO phenomenon. There are those who deeply believe in their existence and those who mock such faith. There are those who always will remain skeptical and those who always will keep an open mind.
With the changing of the political guard, we all knew it was coming. Anyone who says different must be either in a state of denial or supportive of the onslaught. I’m talking about the barrage of gun control legislation that has been introduced for consideration by Congress in the past two months.
The best thing about the Cubs-White Sox game Wednesday night was that the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association didn’t have any of its schools involved, meaning there was little chance of a forfeit or some NIAA official trying to remake the schedule in a way that would make sense only to stupid people.
