Ten acts that SHOULD be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame … but aren’t
Every year, the same old story. Several singers, musicians and bands get nominated to enshrinement in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and we all kvetch and moan about why such didn’t get selected or why so-and-so DID. This happens every year. And we gripe and we grumble, and life goes on. This year,…
Read MoreBowling used to be great. Not any more.
As a kid growing up in Albany, New York, I remember many of my family members participated in various bowling leagues throughout the area.

You don’t want that name to be associated with failure or ineptitude. which would explain car names like the Edsel. Or the Tempo. Or the Aztek. At the recent Singapore Motor Show,…
Read MoreNo, you can’t vacate World Series championships …
It started out as a feel-good story – the Houston Astros, whose hometown was battered and bashed by Hurricane Harvey earlier that year, finally won their first World Series championship. Yesterday, Major League Baseball suspended Astros General Manager Jeff Luhnow and manager AJ Hinch for the entire 2020 season for their actions – or inactions…

It arrived in the mail on Saturday, and it only took ten minutes (and three people) to put it together. But now I have some additional mobility. Let me explain. Last week, I smashed my ankle into tiny little pieces. The doctor told me that I could not put any weight on that ankle for…
Read MoreCongratulations, Coach Cowher
I’ve been a Pittsburgh Steelers fan for as long as I’ve drawn breaths. And the stability of this franchise is legendary. They’ve only had THREE head coaches in the past 50 years. Chuck Noll won four Super Bowls with the Black and Gold (SB 9, 10, 13, 14); Bill Cowher took the Steelers to two…
