Money Talks – the Reason Why Most NFL Players Change Teams
Money talks. That's the reason why most NFL players change teams. Even if it means going from a contender to a team with little chance. There are countless examples of players who were content to join mediocre clubs for the money. And we've seen how their performance reflected the fact they were now comfortable. That's the reason why many golfers have ditched the PGA Tour for the Saudi-backed LIV Tour. Huge guaranteed money eliminates the intense desire to practice and prepare to compete to win. The payout is there, win or lose. That's the reason why west coast schools like UCLA and USC will play in the Big Ten, mostly made up of colleges in the Midwest. USC vs Ohio State won't be a novelty anymore The teams from those two conferences used to play in the Rose Bowl. A one-a-year matchup of champions from those two conferences who...
When I was growing up if you ran into someone who said he was a Yankee fan you kind of knew he didn't love baseball for what it was, he just wanted to root for the team that won all the time. It was easy to be a Yankee fan. They pummeled everyone in the American League, and when the World Series rolled around they were tested a lot more, mostly by the Brooklyn Dodgers, but you knew they ultimately would be popping the corks at the end of the Fall Classic. Why wouldn't you cheer for the men who wore the pinstripes? Long before my love affair with baseball began in 1951, the Yankees were the team of Ruth, Gehrig, Lazzeri, Dickey, Ruffing, Gomez, and I could go on and on. When I started following the game, the Yankees were in the midst of winning five consecutive world...
Tony Siragusa, a defensive tackle who played on one of the finest defensive units of all-time passed away recently. His death hit me hard since I worked with him for several years on my Fox NFL broadcasts. Tony was only 55 years old, which was tragic in itself, and my thoughts of my experience dealing with him week-in-and-week out came to the forefront. If you're a football fan, you know who he was. If you're not, let me fill you in. Siragusa played for 12 years. First, for the Indianapolis Colts, and later for the Baltimore Ravens where in his six seasons, played a major role in the Ravens first Super Bowl championship in 2000. Tony played alongside Sam Adams, and with a combined 700 pounds clogging the middle, the Ravens set records in stuffing the run. The star of the defense was middle linebacker Ray...
Cutting to the Chase with the Pro Golf Circus
Let's cut to the chase with this pro golf circus. It's take the money and run. In case you haven't followed the battle of the professional golf tours, the established PGA Tour is being challenged by one called the LIV Series. Maybe you don't care because if you're a fan of the sport you only want to watch the competition and don't want to be bothered by all the other stuff. If that's the way you feel it's totally understandable. But the fact is, it threatens to change what golf viewers have come to regard as business as usual each weekend. You'll only get the broad strokes here because it's mighty complicated and I don't want you, the reader, to lose interest. At least not yet. But I will offer my opinion on where this will all end up. The LIV Tour is offering the kind of money that...
Time Out. We're Taking a Break from Everything, Except for What's Been on the Mind of Everyone for Over a Week.
Time Out. We're taking a break from everything, except for what's been on the mind of everyone for over a week. The horrible tragedy that saw the lives of children and adults taken by an 18-year old killer in Uvalde,Texas. You've seen so much, heard so much, and read so much. You won't read more of the same here. We're going deeper. This is not about re-hashing and speculation. It's about facts, and looking forward. I have no idea whether the passing of gun laws will eliminate mass shootings. If a would-be gunman really is intent on obtaining a weapon, maybe he can. I have no idea whether we can prevent an evil person from going on a murderous rampage. I talked to someone who deals in mental health, and he has doubts whether that's actually possible. But I do feel that the security of schools, churches, and any public...
Captivating Final Stages of the PGA Championship
The captivating final stages of the PGA Championship served as a reminder to us all that the game's the thing. No matter what may be going on behind the scenes, for the players who play and the viewers who watch, nothing overshadows the competition on the field of play. Who will survive, who will make the plays, who won't? That's really what counts. When Justin Thomas completed a three-hole playoff victory over Will Zalatoris at Southern Hills in Tulsa, no one was thinking of what has become a rancorous battle involving the PGA Tour and the LIV Golf Invitational Series. The finish to the second major of the season was a thriller, with a bushel-load of story lines. The main contenders entering the final round were hardly household names who had never won on this kind of stage before. Leading the way was 27-year old, Mito Pereira from Chile,...
I Never Thought There Would Be Another Column About Tom Brady … At Least Not So Soon.
I never thought there would be another column about Tom Brady. At least not so soon. He seems to command attention whether it's in the thick of the NFL season, or months after. But here we are, not long after the great one ended his all-too-brief retirement to play at least another season. He will be 45 before they 2022 campaign begins. I was thinking how the NFL, as popular a sport as it is, never seems to take a breath. I am aware fans can't get enough. The season ends, and the combine isn't far away. Free Agency. Then the NFL draft, then the revealing of the schedule. The NFL networks shows entire games from the past season. Overkill anyone? I wonder what would happen if the pro football calendar included a quiet time. Say, a couple of months of down time, so when the various practices begin again...
Sunday at the Masters with Two of the Biggest Stories Unfolding at the Same Time
It was Sunday at the Masters and the two biggest stories were unfolding at the same time at opposite ends of the spectrum. On the second hole, the two hottest golfers on the tour were just at the beginning of their duel for the right to wear the Green Jacket at the end of the day. On the final hole, the man who has been the symbol of the sport, one who had five of those Green Jackets, was completing a grueling and courageous effort that few people ever thought would be possible. Tiger Woods was walking up to the 18th green amid cheers and applause from those behind the ropes and others sitting in the stands. A loud salute of appreciation for the truly brave four days of golf and strenuous walking up and down the hills of the Augusta National terrain. Meanwhile, the battle for the 2022...
March Madness is Here and Tom Brady is Back
March Madness is here. Tom Brady is in the news again. What a surprise! Oh, March Madness is about the NCAA Basketball Championship. That's right. I almost forgot. For a second I thought it was about the daily doings of the Greatest of All-Time. I once wrote that I would never use the term GOAT. But I'm breaking that rule. Is the GOAT in? Or is the GOAT out? What is the GOAT thinking? How is the GOAT leaning? Now we know. The GOAT is coming back. His 23rd season. And returning to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The team is elated. Brady is elated. His family is elated. The world is elated. This may be looked upon as heresy, but frankly, I've had it up to here with what #12 is thinking and deciding. It's actually a good decision. He's not ready to retire. He thinks he can win another...
The Experience of Knowing That One Person Who Wouldn't Give Up On You
No matter how successful you become, there is always a time you remember someone who believed in you and saved you during a period of adversity. Success doesn't always mean reaching the very top of what you do. It can be a stepping stone, or anything that represents something you wanted to achieve. Often we forget about that special person who bailed you out by giving you a second chance, or even a first chance. I've been reading a book, just released by Ian O'Connor, a sportswriter with the New York Post, on the life and career of Duke basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski. Krzyzewski, or Coach K, as he is called (fortunately for us), is retiring, at age 75, at the end of this season after, perhaps, the greatest college coaching career in history. The early days He has won more games (1,149) than any coach, won fives national...
The Broadcasting Carousel of Top Network TV Announcers
In considering topics to discuss this week, I could have delved into the complicated saga of Phil Mickelson, who has lost most of his sponsors, and has been excoriated by critics of his attempt to break away from the PGA Tour in favor of a super-league promoted by Saudi Arabian interests. I could have jumped into the labor dispute that has delayed, if not ruined the Major League Baseball season. A lockout by the owners which is so ill-timed when you think of what sports followers went through with the pandemic a short two years ago. Baseball needs the fans more than the fans need baseball. But I've elected to focus on the crazy goings-on involving my business: The broadcasting carousel of the top network TV announcers. Frankly, it all started when CBS paid Tony Romo $17 million when he jumped into the lead booth with Jim Nantz three...
NFL Season Wound Up with an Incredible Run
The NFL season wound up with an incredible run. The last six games of the playoffs were all decided by 3 points, capped by a Super Bowl filled with thrilling moments, and captivating emotion. The Los Angeles Rams are the new champs. Not really a surprise when you looked at the contenders at the start of the year. But considering their highs and lows, the moves they made during the season to reach the top, and the tense final moments of the final game, it was more of a time to exhale, than acknowledging a foregone conclusion. Now, the team the Rams defeated, well, that's another matter. For the Cincinnati Bengals, winners of a total of only six games in 2019, and 2020, their Super Bowl appearance was unthinkable back in September. But they came within a whisker of pulling an upset for their first Super Bowl title. The...
It's Super Bowl Time — But for NFL, Unsettling Developments Make it Much More
For the NFL, this is the week of The Game. It's Super Bowl time. But for the NFL, unfortunately, it is much more. Unsettling developments have arisen, ranging from the never-ending challenge of hiring minority head coaches, to the alarming accusation of an owner offering to pay a head coach to lose games in order to gain the top pick in the draft. Brian Flores, the deposed head coach of the Miami Dolphins brought suits against the Dolphins, the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos alleging a pattern of racist hiring by the league and racial discrimination during the interview process in Denver and New York, as well as during his time with the Dolphins. Brian Flores Flores was fired following a season in which his team started the year 1-7, then won 8 of its last 9 games. He accomplished a winning record in 2020...
NFL Conference Championship Weekend Recap
Frankly I didn't think the NFL's conference championship weekend was going to approach the resounding excitement of the four games played the previous week. But it actually did. If you looked at the two contests, nearing halftime of one and at the end of the third quarter in the other, you might have thought the AFC and NFC Championship battles to determine this year's Super Bowl matchup, were both letdowns. And why not? The Kansas City Chiefs appeared headed to their third consecutive Super Bowl appearance, scoring touchdowns the first three times they had the ball, leading the surprising Bengals 21-3, with less than two minutes remaining in the half. Cincinnati finally scored a TD with 1:15 left, and the Chiefs, passing up a field goal, failed to get a quick-answer touchdown of their own on fourth and goal at the one. So, it was still 21-10 KC. Who knew the...
Football Playoff Recap
Have you ever seen a better weekend of playoff football from this past weekend? I haven't. Every game was better than the previous one. It didn't seem that would be possible. But it was. And that last one. Wow, that last one. I can say this. I've been watching the NFL for over 70 years, and I've never seen one like the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills staged into the night at Arrowhead Stadium. Never. There have been dramatic finishes, amazing comebacks, improbable winning touchdowns and shocking upsets, but nothing like those two heavyweights displayed last Sunday evening. It was a classic back-and-forth shootout that reached a crescendo with 25 points scored within the last two minutes of regulation thanks to the remarkable brilliance of the two quarterbacks, Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs, and the Bills' Josh Allen. Mahomes moves on Josh can only watch But...
NFL Playoff Battle, the Search for New Head Coaches, and Wild-Card Weekend Recap
There are two classes of NFL teams right now. The ones battling in the playoffs, and the ones searching for new head coaches, General Managers, or both. There are eight teams still alive in the drive to the Super Bowl, and eight clubs in the process of finding new decision-makers. Wild-Card weekend was hardly wild. Several of the contests were one-sided, and won in decisive fashion. Bills quarterback Josh Allen was nothing short of brilliant in leading Buffalo's rout of the Patriots, setting up another duel of top of-the-line QB's with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Kansas City crushed Pittsburgh in what is likely the last career game for the great Ben Roethlisberger. Bills-Chiefs is the top game coming up. The Great Josh Allen The defending champion Bucs outclassed the Eagles in the NFC starting their run at a second straight Super Bowl crown. Two other games had...
Finally, The Champions!
When all is said and done, the college football team rated the best in the land practically all season, wound up the champion after all. Sure, there was drama as the end was in sight in the final month, but when the dust cleared in Indianapolis last Monday, there was no doubt. The Georgia Bulldogs won the national championship over Alabama, 33-18, responding to the lingering question as to whether they could avenge their only loss, a 41-24 thrashing to the Crimson Tide in the SEC title game. Georgia wins title! They did, in decisive fashion. Outsiders seem to always feel that a crushing defeat leaves the victim so wounded and demoralized that there is no way they can recover. But that's why they are outsiders. The truth is, unless you are with a team day-to-day, and are aware of how they operate and go about their...
Enjoying the Red Zone by the NFL Network
If I knew how good the Red Zone was I would have retired years before I officially did last March. The Red Zone for those unaware, is the Sunday presentation by the NFL Network cutting from game-to-game, often in frenetic fashion, to bring the entire league's action to viewers. They cut to games when a team is threatening to score. My tongue is planted firmly in my cheek when I say I would have retired sooner to enjoy the Red Zone. My friends have told me over the years that they've heard my voice describing plays. But I never realized how exciting it can be to be on the other side. Especially when several games are coming down the stretch with the outcome in doubt and so much riding on the result. That was the case last weekend, you couldn't have scripted a more dramatic scenario. Here was Kansas City,...
Boycott the Winter Olympics
The United States should refuse to send its athletes to the Winter Olympics in China, scheduled to commence February 4th. I realize our Olympians have trained long and hard for their dream which for most is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. While I'm aware of their sacrifice and dedication in earning a place on the team to represent the U.S. in the games, I cannot possibly know to the degree they worked to get there and what they went through. I also have no idea what it would mean to be bitterly disappointed by not competing. Nevertheless, world events must take precedence over the dreams of any athlete and must dictate the stance of our country in participating. I wish the Winter Olympics were being held virtually anywhere else but in China, where there have been actions against human life and decency that cannot be ignored. There are concentration camps that imprison members of a...
John Madden — The Best of All Time Expert Sports Analyst on Television
In a shocking development, the great John Madden passed away this past Tuesday morning only days after the documentary on the man aired on Fox. I wrote about him in November 2019, and in celebration of the 90-minute program, I reprinted the column. I share so many memories of having known him and now they will be etched forever in a special way, now that he is gone. The introduction to the original column follows, with my thoughts of him expressed more than two years ago: ________________________________________________________________ A 90-minute documentary on John Madden aired on Fox last week and it lived up to its advance billing. It was titled "All-Madden", and it chronicled the man, now 85, who jumped from being one of the more successful NFL head coaches into a legendary figure that transcended his role as a television expert-analyst. He was the best ever, in any sport,...
Wishing You a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
Two Titles of Newspaper Columns Which Stood the Test of Time
In the long history of sports reporting in newspapers, there were two titles of columns which stood the test of time. One, we've dealt with in the past: Jimmy Cannon's "Nobody Asked Me, But……." The other, was headed by "Notes on a Scorecard", originally penned, I believe, by Alan Malamud, a Los Angeles writer. There is a strong possibility, he picked it up from from a writer long before his tenure. In any event, here is our version of "Notes on a Scorecard". By far, the biggest story of the past sports weekend was Tiger Woods return to competition at the PNC Championship. It's totally incredible that we could even write these words, considering his near-death car crash last February that required multiple surgeries on his right leg. He struggles to walk and in a father-son tournament, played with his 12-year old son Charlie, whose swing looked...
The Bitter and the Sweet in One Sports Week
There's bitter and sweet in the sports world this week and we'll touch on both. Let's begin with the positive. First off, I don't remember when the NFL has had so many teams with either a shot at a division crown or a playoff berth at this point in the season. Most teams have five games remaining, which is a lot of games, but considering the fact that usually at this point there are many teams with no hope whatsoever, you have to consider this a sparkling year. I don't feel a two game lead is a commanding advantage at this point. There are only two divisions which appear safe and sound for the leaders. The Packers in the NFC North, and the defending Super Bowl champion Buccaneers in the NFC South are home free. The rest are still in a dogfight. That also means if you're only two losses...
Fall Birthday Cruise to Ports in Greece, Italy and Spain
One thing I have not been able to do in the last 50 years is to travel in the fall. When you're broadcasting NFL football, you're out of action basically from August through December. You can't really go anywhere when you have prep during the week, travel on Fridays and don't return till late Sunday night or Monday if you have a game on the west coast. If you fly back late Sunday evening after working a Rams game for instance, you get back early Monday morning. It's called a red-eye folks. And it's not fun. But now, all bets are off. Since I'm retired I can go anywhere anytime. And so we did. Jamie and I went on a cruise to ports in Greece, Italy and Spain. If I zero in on the one compelling highlight of the cruise experience, it was the music onboard. It was uplifting, stirring, and exhilarating....
With warm gratitude for our association, we wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving!
NFL has Reached the 2021 Halfway Mark
It's halftime. The NFL has reached the halfway mark in the 2021 campaign, (well, since there are 17 games to the regular season it is to some), and a time to see what's what. An advisory here. Don't be fooled into drawing conclusions based on what we've seen so far. Many, if not most observers get on and off the bandwagon week to week. Just so you know, it'll all come down to the last month, probably the last two weeks. We see it every year. This one is no different. We've also learned not to assume anything. Week 8 told us that. On the Thursday night going into the weekend, the Cardinals and Packers presented the most compelling matchup of the season to date. The Arizonans were the big surprise of the NFC, sporting the only unbeaten record in the entire league. The Aaron Rodgers Packers had won seven straight...
The Romantic Aspects of Listening to Sports Broadcasts on the Radio
There was an essay in last week's Wall Street Journal that piqued my interest and provoked me to write further on the subject. It was penned by Jared Diamond and it was about the unique, often romantic aspects of listening to baseball broadcasts on radio. Certainly, a way of life that existed decades and generations ago, that have taken a backseat to the television and streaming world of today. This is not to say it doesn't exist today, it does. But not like the days of yesteryear. It was the way youngsters were attracted to what was once the most compelling sport which captivated so many of us, including myself, that still brings back memories of a time that makes us smile. In the essay, the incomparable Vin Scully, the former Dodgers voice of 67 years, talks of taking a plate of crackers and a pillow into the living...
Manning-cast on Monday Night Football — Revolutionizing Sports Viewing
A phenomenon in television viewing has emerged this season with the Manning-cast on Monday Night Football. What in heaven's name is the Manning-cast you would say if you aren't aware? The Manning-cast as it's come to be known, is the pairing of the great two quarterback brothers, Peyton and Eli Manning. They appear separate from the usual broadcast on ESPN's presentation of the NFL's Monday night game. So, you can either watch the traditional telecast of the game with the commentators, Steve Levy, Brian Griese, and Louis Riddick, view the two Mannings, appearing in separate boxes on screen with the action on the field, or switch around and see both. I'm going to say they're revolutionizing sports viewing, because the audience has increased solidly every week they've been on. Peyton and Eli appeared the first three weeks of the season, have been off the last three, and will resume this coming Monday night....
Two Legendary Sports Rivalries – Both about Baseball, My First Love
I've been captivated by two legendary sports rivalries in my life. One was personal. The other, professional. Both were about baseball, my first love. Professionally, of course, nothing was more intense, heated, even hated, than the Red Sox and the Yankees. They had been strong rivalries forever, but it became real in my world when I began telecasting Red Sox games in 1975. This season they were the two wild-card entries in the American League playoffs. So, they played one game to survive, and the Sox prevailed to move on in post-season and as of this writing they are still alive and kicking. The Giants and the Dodgers were the personal rivalry for me that grabbed my attention in 1951, a magical year for sure, but lasted a mere seven years, until they both moved to the west coast. That's far too short for a youngster, passionate about baseball....
Fake News is Alive and Well in Sports
I gotta laugh. Fake news is alive and well in sports as it has been in the news. Meaning, when the actual event differs from the media, they are never accountable. Prior to the incredibly over-hyped week four return of the great Tom Brady to New England, all we read and heard was the deep determination of Brady to embarrass his long-time coach Bill Belichick. Brady was primed to roll up the score on the villain who had the audacity to allow the QB to depart, sign with Tampa Bay, and win a Super Bowl, thus exposing the coach as an utter fool. Now, the much-heralded return to the scene of six Super Bowl triumphs, and the chance to the show the coach, on his home turf, who really was responsible for those trophies. Brady vs Pats Guess what folks? They did it as a team. For 20...
Ryder Cup Remains One of the Most Compelling Events in Any Sport
The reason why the Ryder Cup remains one of the most compelling events in any sport was etched on the tear-filled face of Rory McIlroy after winning his golf match on the final day of the three-day competition at Wisconsin's Whistler Straits course. McIlroy's victory leading off the match-play singles finale had little effect on America's steamrolling beatdown over their European rivals. The U.S. was never challenged. Pumped Up US Victory Big Hug After building a commanding 11-5 lead after the first two days of foursome, and fourball (alternate shot) play, all the Americans needed was three wins and a halve (tie) in the final head-to-head battles to capture the Cup. But this group was not merely content on simply winning, they were out for blood. No team had ever amassed 19 points since the new format of 28 matches was adopted in...
NFL's Week Two Recap
I refused to fall into the trap of overreacting to the NFL's first week of action and won't do the same after week two. But there are a few early observations that bear watching. Why do we not go crazy after one game? Just check out the Steelers, Saints, Dolphins, Seahawks, and Ravens to name a few. After whipping the Bills in Buffalo, Pittsburgh came home to lose to the Raiders. More on them later. After Jameis Winston "finally" got smart and avoided throwing interceptions, he tossed a pair and fell back into character. For Miami, after beating the Patriots in New England, they lost their hopeful savior Tua the QB and were blown out by the Bills. Seattle winners in week one, blew a lead at home to the Titans, and lost in OT. Never count out the Ravens who went down for the count in...
Novak Djokovic – So Close to Winning a Grand Slam
The entire world of the great sport of tennis waited patiently to witness history. In fact, the moment that would certainly come was a sterling attraction to anyone who followed sports of any kind. Who wouldn't? It had been 52 years since Aussie Rod Laver won the game's Grand Slam. The Grand Slam…. The Australian Open in January, the French Open which starts in late May, Wimbledon, which takes place in late June and early July, and the U.S. Open which starts in late August. And it was on the second in September, history was in the offing at the Finals of the U.S. Open. Think of it. Not one of the brilliant men's tennis performers who graced the courts since 1969 were able to achieve that monumental feat. Not Roger Federer, not Rafael Nadal, not Pete Sampras, not John McEnroe, not Bjorn Borg, not Andre Agassi, not Jimmy Connors,...
Another NFL Season is Upon Us
I know. Another NFL season is upon us. That means it's time for predictions. Time to reveal who will succeed and who won't? Who wins the division races? Who makes the playoffs? Who gets to the Super Bowl? Who wins the Super Bowl? It's September and we're supposed to take out our crystal ball from the moth balls and show how smart we are. If you know so much, buddy, tell me how the upcoming season will go. Well, as many of you know, I think predictions are ridiculous. I believe it's a total waste of time to forecast the future on anything. How wrong are meteorologists? You know the answer to that. How can you say what will happen in the NFL, for instance, when there are significant factors, such as injuries to key personnel, especially quarterbacks. Another important issue will be players sidelined due to COVID. For...
Mt. Rushmore View of Former Play-By-Play Broadcasters
Mount Rushmore in South Dakota has great majestic symbolism for our country. I notice that more and more people use Mount Rushmore to represent greatness in a wide variety of ranking the best of the best in almost any field of endeavor. So why not join the growing crowd? Thus, I will present my personal Mount Rushmore for my own profession, network play-by-play broadcasting in the four major professional sports. The man on the far left would be Vin Scully, arguably the greatest baseball announcer of all-time. Vin Scully I believe this would be the only category that would be uncontested. I first heard the golden tones of Scully when he was the third man in the Brooklyn Dodgers booth in the 50's. He was top-notch right out of the gate. Ultimately he rose to #1 while the Dodgers still played in Brooklyn. But it was when the Dodgers...
NFL Football is Underway
NFL football is underway. But it's the pre-season variety. Not very exciting. So why are we spending any time on it? Two reasons. The first, is to put them in perspective. Pre-season is of value to the teams who can see things, especially in judging the players who have a chance to win a roster spot. Most teams already know who will be around for the start of the season, with the exception of a few openings. Starters hardly play. Why risk injury? No team game plans for these contests. The offense and defense they will display in game 1 is drilled solely in practices. What is really ridiculous is the way the media over-emphasizes events in these games as if it were the playoffs. They rate the performances of rookie quarterbacks, and other players and forget it's just one preseason game, with little regard to the...
Significant Lifetime Moments at Fox Sports
Last weekend was a significant lifetime moment for two of my colleagues at Fox Sports. Jimmy Johnson, the former head coach of the Dallas Cowboys, and John Lynch, who was my partner on NFL telecasts for two years, were inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio. Finally, John Lynch HOF The week started with a special presentation by Fox Sports paying homage to my career after announcing my retirement in March. Originally, when asked to appear at the football seminar, I was reluctant to do so. Not masquerading under the guise of false humility, which I abhor, I wanted to leave my retirement after a long five-plus decade as a broadcaster simply and quietly, with little fanfare. But my boss, Eric Shanks, Fox Sports CEO, and Executive Producer, insisted that I show up one last time at our gathering of 200 broadcasters and production...
Simone Biles, Aaron Rodgers and the New SEC
What are people talking about in sports these days? The answer is open for discussion. But I'm going to say it's about Simone Biles, Aaron Rodgers and the move from the Big 12 to the SEC for Oklahoma and Texas in the world of college athletics. Maybe Aaron Rodgers is old news. Granted, that story has been run into the ground. But since NFL training camps have begun, and Rodgers has reported to the Packers, it's time to wrap up that soap opera. Maybe those who are not into the big picture of college football have little interest in schools jumping from one conference to another. Those folks, too, may have a point. But it's a telling development that could actually have an impact on schools everywhere. But there's no disputing the Simone Biles story, which has dominated the Tokyo Olympics. Simone Biles Simone...
Let's Talk Olympics
Let's talk Olympics. Despite no fans in the incredibly costly venues, the COVID situation (whatever it is on a particular day), the threat of cyclones, low ratings etc. etc. etc., the games are underway and they are meaningful. Once the decision was made to hold the Olympics after the one year postponement, the competition ensues, whatever the obstacles. The first thing we have to consider, are all the athletes who have dedicated their dreams to competing, sacrificing a great deal, and dedicating themselves to representing the United States in the greatest international arena. Imagine the immense letdown and disappointment when then-President Jimmy Carter declared that the U.S. would not compete in the 1980 summer games in the SovietUnion. So, for those athletes who know what it means to represent America, and are proud to wear the Red, White, and Blue, my hats off to them. I am proud of...
Another Golf Major and Another First
Another golf major and another first. This time, Collin Morikawa in capturing the Open played in Sandwich, England at Royal St. George's, became the first in history to win two majors in his first attempt. Morikawa made his debut at the 2020 PGA Championship and won that one. The Champ And at the same time, joined Tiger Woods at taking home two majors before the age of 25. It was a highly contested final round with Jordan Spieth winding up two shots behind the champion. It was a bitter sweet weekend for the Texan, who had to feel buoyed by regaining his form which has taken some grueling work in getting back. On the other hand, Spieth bogeyed the final two holes in the third round which damaged his chances, including a failed 2-foot putt on the final hole which never came close to the hole....
The Sport of Fishing
One sport I've never written about is fishing. If you weren't sure, fishing is definitely a sport. It is something that requires skill, physical exertion, and considering the multitude of tournaments throughout the world, it is competitive. That makes it a sport. I regret I have never done much of it, because it has tremendous appeal. I know baseball players and golfers who talk of the relaxation, calm and overall atmosphere of fishing. Here on the Thousand Islands on the St.Lawrence River, fishing is a way of life. I want to learn how. I've gone out a few times with Pat Snyder who is a local fixture and the one you want to connect with if you have a group that is looking for a day fishing on a boat with maybe a shore dinner afterwards. He helped me with putting the proper bait on the line, and showed...
Bad News at Muirfield and College Athlete Compensation…
US Open Champ He was the last man standing. Two weeks ago he suffered a huge disappointment when a virtual certain victory was snatched away in a most unusual circumstance. But not a shock considering the times. On this occasion, the "karma" he talked about afterwards, became a reality. Jon Rahm won the U.S. Open at Torrey Pines. His first triumph in a major. Then first Spaniard to capture this particular championship. Isn't it amazing how with every golf major as of late, there is either some kind of historic note, human interest element, or irony wrapped around the champion? Let's take a quick look. A year ago in the year of the pandemic, Bryson DeChambeau, won his first major title at the U.S. Open, which had been postponed for three months and played without spectators. He turned a two-stroke deficit into a rousing six-stroke victory on...
Stanley Cup Playoff Time
Every year, it seems, there is a compelling story developing surrounding the Stanley Cup playoffs. This time it's the New York Islanders, who, some 40 years ago, were the supreme dominant power of the National Hockey League, capturing four consecutive Cup championships. Currently, the Islanders are battling the strong Tampa Bay Lightning in a series to determine one-half of the Stanley Cup finals. Las Vegas, and the Montreal Canadiens are fighting out in the other series. The Canadiens, one of the original six teams in league's history are also a fascinating story, considering what that franchise has meant to the sport. But the Islanders are in the spotlight here, and the focus is on the man behind their success. Islanders Unlike Scotty Bowman, who is arguably the greatest coach ever with nine Stanley Cup titles with three different teams, this man is not as visible as a head coach...
I Thought Our Little World of Sports Would Be Different in 2021
I thought our little world of sports would be different in 2021, but I was wrong. I figured once the severest effects of the pandemic had lessened, things would be more back to normal. That hasn't been the case. I was convinced that athletes and fans would be so grateful the worst might be over, that we might be returning to a kind of golden times. Nope. Instead, we have experienced horrendous fan behavior. Athletes have been assaulted by a variety of methods. Those who play the games have raised the issue of mental health. And in the most recent incident, a professional golfer, on the brink of winning a significant tournament, and ready to cash in monetarily big time, saw it all disappear in a blink of an eye. Jon Rahm, one of the young giants who has emerged on the Tour, was ready to sail home...
Tired of the Never-Ending Aaron Rodgers Soap Opera
I guess I'm an old-fashioned guy. I believe that there are employers and there are employees. I am of the opinion that there are those who head companies and have the responsibility of calling the shots, making the decisions they feel are best for the organization. And those who are paid to produce the best product possible. I don't feel, using an old term, that the inmates should run the asylum. I don't care whether the company makes computers or fields a professional football team. There is only one way to do it right. That's why I am tired of this never-ending Aaron Rodgers soap opera. I realize pro football is an entertainment enterprise. Fans are critical to the success of the sport. The fans who attend the games. The fans who watch. The fans who follow from afar. Aaron Rodgers Aaron Rodgers is one of...
Thumbs Up All the Way for Phil Mickelson, and happy retirement to Marv Albert
It was thumbs up all the way for Phil Mickelson. In what was one of the top moments of the year in sports, and undoubtedly the banner moment in Mickelson's career, the golfer who many understandably said was no longer a threat to win a major, captured the PGA Golf Championship. Not only did he achieve the victory on the difficult Kiawah Ocean Course with winds creating chaos, especially on the final day, but he had to hold off some mighty challengers in the process. Yes, Brooks Koepka, was coming off knee surgery which left him unquestionably less than 100%, but Koepka is 19 years younger than Mickelson and has won the PGA title twice and the U.S. Open on two occasions. Also, Louis Oosthuizen, who won the Open Championship at St. Andrews in Scotland in 2010, was in the hunt as well. I guess I buried the lead. ...
The Annual NFL Draft
Outside of the Super Bowl and the opening weekend of the season, what truly captivates fans is the annual NFL Draft. Before the ink is dry on the three-days of 32 teams picking through seven rounds, there is immediate speculation on next year's draft. It never ends, and there is no down-time when it comes to the draft. This year's draft was about two things. Quarterbacks and players from the University of Alabama. Eight quarterbacks were chosen in the first three rounds the most in the common draft era which began in 1967. Six Alabama players were picked among the first 24 selected, including four of the top 15. Two more members of the Crimson Tide were gobbled up in the second round. If this doesn't solidify the recruiting future for 'Bama head coach Nick Saban, I don't know what does. If you're a prime prospect coming out of...
The Triumph By 47-Year Old Stewart Cink
I was going to discuss the reasons why the great game of baseball has fallen prey to a game that is anything but the sport most of us have loved. It was obviously not going to be a positive topic. Instead, there was a moment in sports that was so uplifting and heart-warming that it took center stage and moved the baseball issue to the background for now. And the watching the news in these times, makes it even more imperative to bring this event to light. I'm talking about the triumph by 47-year old Stewart Cink last weekend at the Heritage Open Golf tournament at Hilton Head, SC. No, it obviously was not one of pro golf's majors, and many of the stars of the game did not compete. But that's not the point. There are the facts surrounding his win and more down the line on who...
Why is it Ridiculous to Predict Who will Win a Golf Tournament?
Why is it ridiculous to predict who will win a golf tournament? The answer: Who can know how anyone will perform, especially the player himself. The 2021 Masters is history, and it was wonderful to see it played in Augusta in April with all the sights and sounds which have made it unique and special. The new Masters Champion I know you hear it all the time, but the words "a tradition unlike any other" can't be overused. It's a fact. Here's another fact. Defending champ Dustin Johnson, and Rory McIlroy, did not make the cut. Slugger Bryson DeChambeau tied for 46th at +5 struggled throughout, and Justin Thomas at even par for the championship was never a serious contender. The much anticipated back-nine excitement on the final day never materialized, except for a moment of drama at the 15th and 16th holes. Japan's Hideki Matsuyama, who led by...
Bringing an End to My Broadcasting Days
So, the time has come for me to bring an end to my broadcasting days. After 55-years on the air, I will no longer be announcing football games for Fox Sports, and I leave with exceptional memories of events I covered, the people I worked for AND with, and looking forward to doing more of the same things I have been doing. It will really not involve a significant adjustment. It will simply mean I now have a clean slate to do the things I like doing, without a work schedule to think about. Don't get me wrong, I loved doing games. In all sports. Actually, I never worked a day in my life. You may wonder, why would I give that up? Yes, it's been fun. Physically I believe I could go on another five years. But it's not about that. The truth is, I don't NEED to...

San Francisco, California: Outdoor Adventures in this Urban Gem
By: Heike Bachmann
San Francisco – the very name awakens well-known associations beginning with the Golden Gate Bridge to Alcatraz to the open-air cable cars rolling up and down steep city hills.
Then there are the historic neighborhoods, such as Castro, Haight Ashbury, North Beach and Union Square, that have made San Francisco into the fascinating, ever-transforming global destination it is today. I've been a fan for years, but this time, I'm setting out to explore a few outdoor recreation spots in this famous California city on the Pacific.
Culture and Nature in Golden Gate Park
Located in the heart of the city is San Francisco's Golden Gate Park, which stretches nearly 5 kilometers from east to west and 800 meters from north to south. In addition to beautifully landscaped meadows and lakes, a stunning winter garden, a Japanese teahouse and a bison paddock, the park also houses the famous de Young Museum. After a refreshing walk next to bikers, runners and skate boarders, I enjoyed looking at the tastefully displayed contemporary art in this uniquely designed museum that also features an unforgettable 360-degree view of the Bay Area from its Hamon Tower Observation Floor. Directly opposite is the state-of-the-art California Academy of Sciences, one of the largest and most environmentally friendly natural history museums in the world with a living roof made of self-sustaining plants.

Sunbathing on Baker Beach
When a city is surrounded by water, like San Francisco is, you long for a beach – and what a beach you've got in Baker Beach! Situated in the northwest of the city directly adjacent to the Presidio district, the 800-meter stretch features soft sand, gently rolling Pacific waves and a gorgeous view of the Golden Gate Bridge. No wonder it attracts locals and visitors alike for walks, sunbathing or a nice picnic.

Unique Hiking on the Lands End Trail
After Baker Beach, I follow the urge to dive deeper into the nature of San Francisco and drive to the picturesque Lands End Lookout in Golden Gate National Recreation Area. Equipped with useful information and a good cup of coffee from the new visitor's center, I'm on my way. There are a number of interesting trails to choose from. I opt for the Coastal Trail, which is part of the famous California Coastal Trail. It offers fantastic views at every turn, as well as the unique opportunity to walk along the coastal edge of the American continent.
Relax with a View at Alamo Square Park
San Francisco should be called the city of the countless vistas. Back in town, I round out my day at the elevated Alamo Square Park, the heart of the residential neighborhood with the same name. Here, locals and visitors mix while relaxing in front of the classic background provided by the famous Painted Ladies while the San Francisco skyline lies at their feet. As the sunset casts a beautiful light over the bay, I can sense the beginning of the vibrant downtown evening life in the distance as I sit on the grass hill watching locals walk their dogs.
This is where I realize there aren't many cities that combine cosmopolitan flair and wild nature as effortlessly as San Francisco does. And I haven't even mentioned the fantastic cuisine – that's for next time!

Hey you guys remember Xanadu?
Xanaduuuuuuuuuuuu, Xanaduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuooooooo, now we are here, in Xanadoooooo!
Olive Newton-John rolling her way around town on roller skates and claiming to be a Muse (we all that was totally not true, there is only room for one Muse around here) was the awesome back in the day!
Hey, you know what else you can roll on?
Sue Devitt E-Z Eye Roller Ball Eye Shadow, the busy girl's guide to easy eye shadow application and go.
Sue Devitt E-Z Eye Roller Ball Eye Shadow is the quickie, easy way to apply shadow on the fly. It's pretty much goof proof and nice for those of us who aren't too coordinated with shadow brushes or a quick slip of shadow when we are in a rush. It's pretty easy to use as you simply slide the roller ball directly onto your lid, glide it across, and done! Pigmented shimmery shadow is left behind for a quickie eye look that's both easy and flattering.
I bet it took Olivia Newton-John longer to learn how to skate than it would for her to apply this eye shadow!
The formula does have a heavy shimmer finish so the glitter/shimmer haters probably should avoid. As for the Muse she's a self proclaimed lover of the shimmer so bring it. It has a nice pigment to it and it glides on quite nicely and easily, fall out is minimal too as with a brush you'd see confetti all over your face with use but the roller ball makes it a pretty mess-free application.
These come in a total of 10 shades for $18 each. On a side note I do know that a few drugstore brands have a similar product but I will say these were much easier to work with compared to cheaper brands as the ball of the applicator glides across the eye well. I've experienced tugging and not alot of color pay off with cheaper brands.
The shades I tried were Hydra (Frosty Shimmering White), Nola (Pure Shimmering Baby Pink), and Hopetown (Rich Shimmering Plum).
Overall, I thought they worked a treat and are fab for quickie shadow looks when I'm not up for dealing with three or more shadows, blending, etc…..simply roll and go.
Totally the lazy girl's way to apply eye shadow!
ooooh perdie. I'm confused are they liquid or powder?

Since I'd rather spend my euros on sausages and wine, I ended up taking the bus to Vienna. That meant six hours later (and a short argument about who got the last bag of chips), my brother and I finally arrived. I feel like practically every post has to include something along the lines of "blah blah beautiful architecture", but come on! How can you not stand in awe when you come across buildings like these?! The next few days were spent with me stopping my brother ever few meters to take a picture. We also stumbled upon a fun outdoor festival and got to see some great artists and skaters showing off a few tricks. As for the sausages and wine? You better bet I had my fill!

Iran's Velayati pushes for strong ties with Bosnia
TEHRAN - Ali Akbar Velayati, the senior foreign policy advisor to the Leader, said on Tuesday that Iran and Bosnia-Herzegovina should expand their relations and level of interaction.
Velayati made the remarks during a meeting with President of the Bosnian House of Senate Safet Softic in Tehran.
He said the Bosnian official's visit to Tehran indicates the country's determination to expand ties with Iran.
Velayati was Iran's foreign minister during the 1992-1995 Bosnian war during which hardline Serbs committed war crimes against Bosnian people.
"Iran and Bosnia have long background of cooperation and the Iranian people stood beside the Bosnian people and government" during the Balkan war, Velayati remarked.
Commenting on the developments in Syria, he said, "The cooperation between Iran and Russia have led to a new situation" in the region.
For his part, Softic said Iran is the main axis of stability in the crisis-hit Middle East region and expressed hope that the relations between the two countries would be expanded in various spheres.
'Iran-Russia-Turkey meeting can bring regional peace'
After his talks with the Bosnian official, Velayati told reporters that the trilateral meeting between Iran, Russia, and Turkey on Syria in Moscow on December 20 can result in a peace in Syria.
Iran, Russia, and Turkey issued a joint statement on Tuesday agreeing to try to broker peace talks between Syrian militants and the Syrian government and to expand the ceasefire in Aleppo to other parts of the country.
Velayati also called the murder of Russian Ambassador to Turkey Andrei Karlov a "brutal" act, noting such actions are intended to "undermine peace" in the region.
He added such moves should not influence Russia-Turkey relations negatively.
The Russian ambassador to Turkey was killed in an attack by a gunman in an art gallery on Monday.

Q: Positive factors of $18150$ and $22000$
How many positive factors do $18150$ and $22000$ share?

What would be the ideal way to go about this? If I prime factorize both I get $18150= 2 \cdot 5^2 \cdot 3 \cdot 11^2$  and $22000= 2^4 \cdot 5^3 \cdot 11$. Also if I take the greatest common divisor I get $gcd(18150, 22000) = 550$. Is the answer easily seen from here or am I missing something?

A: The greatest common divisor 550 has all divisors which have 18150 and 22000 in common. If they had a common divisor which wouldn't be a divisor of 550, let's call it x, $lcm(550, x)$ would also divide both numbers and would be bigger than 550, which is a contradiction.
All you need to do is counting all divisors of 550. If I didn't forget any, there are 12 such divisors: 1, 2, 5, 10, 11, 22, 25, 55, 50, 110, 275, 550

A: The shared factors are the factors of $550=2\cdot5^2\cdot11$, and there are $2\cdot3\cdot2$ of them.

La cuisine ouest-africaine englobe une gamme variée d'aliments répartis entre ses . En Afrique de l'Ouest, de nombreuses familles cultivent leur propre nourriture, et au sein de chacune, il y a une répartition des tâches. Les aliments indigènes se composent d'un certain nombre d'espèces végétales et animales et sont importants pour ceux dont le mode de vie dépend de l'agriculture et de la chasse.

L'histoire de l'Afrique de l'Ouest joue également un rôle important dans la cuisine et les recettes, car les interactions avec différentes cultures (en particulier le monde arabe et, plus tard, les Européens) au cours des siècles ont introduit de nombreux ingrédients qui sont devenus des éléments clés des différentes cuisines nationales actuelles.

Histoire
Au début de la période moderne, les explorateurs européens et les marchands d'esclaves ont influencé les cuisines régionales en Afrique de l'Ouest, mais seulement dans une zone restreinte. Cependant, ce sont les navires marchands et négriers européens qui ont apporté les piments, le maïs et les tomates du Nouveau Monde, et tous deux sont devenus des composants omniprésents des cuisines ouest-africaines, avec les cacahuètes, le manioc et les plantains. À leur tour, ces navires négriers transportaient des ingrédients africains vers le Nouveau Monde, notamment des doliques aux yeux noirs et du gombo.

À l'époque de la période coloniale, notamment lors de la ruée vers l'Afrique, les colons européens ont défini les frontières coloniales sans tenir compte des frontières, territoires ou différences culturelles préexistants. Cela a divisé les tribus et créé des colonies avec des styles culinaires différents. En conséquence, il est difficile de définir précisément, par exemple, la cuisine sénégalaise.

Bien que les colons européens aient apporté de nombreux et nouveaux ingrédients sur le continent, ils ont eu relativement peu d'impact sur la façon dont les gens cuisinent en Afrique de l'Ouest. Sa forte tradition culinaire se perpétue malgré l'influence de la colonisation et de la migration alimentaire qui s'est produite il y a longtemps.

Ingrédients

Bien qu'il existe des différences évidentes entre les cuisines locales en Afrique de l'Ouest, il existe également de nombreux points communs, principalement dans les ingrédients utilisés.

De nombreux plats sont enrichis d'une base de tomates, d' oignons et de piments. Considérée comme une technique culinaire essentielle, voire "sacrée" dans la région, la combinaison de ces trois ingrédients sautés dans l'huile est analogue à des concepts similaires tels que la sainte trinité de la cuisine cajun et créole aux États-Unis, le sofrito utilisé dans le monde hispanophone, le soffritto en Italie et la mirepoix en France.

L'huile de cuisson la plus répandue est l'huile de noix de palme, traditionnellement associée aux régions côtières et qui apporte une couleur, une saveur et une texture particulières aux aliments, tandis que le beurre de karité est plus couramment utilisé dans le Sahel. Appelé karité en français, qui vient du mot arabe ghartī, il est apprécié pour la richesse de sa texture en bouche.

Plats représentatifs
Certains plats sont très répandus dans la plupart des sociétés ouest-africaines, mais portent différents noms selon les endroits.

Foufou

Comme ci-dessus, le fufu est généralement fabriqué à partir de manioc, d'ignames, et parfois combiné avec du taro, des plantains ou de la farine de maïs. Au Ghana, le fufu est principalement fabriqué à partir de manioc bouilli et de plantain non mûr battu ensemble, ainsi que de taro. Actuellement, ces produits ont été transformés en poudre/farine et peuvent être mélangés à de l'eau chaude pour obtenir le produit final, ce qui élimine la tâche de le battre dans un mortier avec un pilon jusqu'à l'obtention de la consistance désirée.

Ragoût d'arachide (  ), (var. , , ,  ,  ou  ), est un ragoût à base d'arachide originaire du Mali et répandu dans une grande partie de l'Afrique de l'Ouest et très populaire au Mali, au Sénégal, en Gambie, en Guinée et en Côte d'Ivoire. Des variantes du maafe apparaissent dans la cuisine des nations d'Afrique de l'Ouest et d'Afrique centrale . Avec l'expansion significative de la culture de l'arachide pendant la période coloniale, le maafe est devenu un plat populaire dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest et jusqu'au Cameroun.

Les recettes du ragoût varient considérablement, mais le ragoût d'arachides est cuit avec une sauce à base d'arachides ( cacahuètes ), la trinité ouest-africaine de tomates, d'oignons et de piments, et les composants protéiques courants sont le mouton, le bœuf ou le poulet. Dans les régions côtières du Sénégal, le maafé est souvent fait avec du poisson. Le maafé est traditionnellement servi avec du riz blanc (en Sénégambie), du couscous (alors que l'Afrique de l'Ouest rencontre le Sahara) ou du fufu et des patates douces dans les régions plus tropicales.

Riz Jolof

Le riz Jollof, également appelé benachin, est un plat populaire dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest. Il est originaire du Sénégal mais s'est depuis répandu dans toute l'Afrique de l'Ouest, en particulier au Nigeria et au Ghana, parmi les membres de l'ethnie wolof, à l'origine du mot "jollof".

Il existe de nombreuses variétés de riz jollof. Les ingrédients de base les plus courants sont le riz, les tomates et la pâte de tomates, l'oignon, le sel et le poivron rouge. Au-delà de cela, presque tous les types de viande, de légumes ou d'épices peuvent être ajoutés.

La version sénégalaise du riz jollof est un peu différente et s'appelle ceebu jen, le plat national du Sénégal. Une variante, thiebou yapp, ou "riz à la viande" est faite avec du bœuf, du mouton ou d'autres viandes rouges.

Étiquette
Les repas sont collectifs, les convives utilisent leurs doigts pour manger. L'eau a une signification rituelle très forte dans de nombreuses nations d'Afrique de l'Ouest (en particulier dans les régions sèches), et l'eau est souvent la première chose qu'un hôte africain offrira à son invité.

As a business owner in Texas, you need the same kinds of insurance coverages for the car you use in your business as you do for a car used for personal travel -- liability, collision and comprehensive, medical payments (known as personal injury protection in some states) and coverage for uninsured motorists. In fact, many business people use the same vehicle for both business and pleasure. If the vehicle is owned by the business, make sure the name of the business appears on the policy as the "principal insured" rather than your name. This will avoid possible confusion in the event that you need to file a claim or a claim is filed against you.
One Choice Insurance can help you find the right business auto insurance for your vehicle at the right price.
Whether you need to buy a Texas business auto insurance policy will depend on the kind of driving you do. A good insurance agent will ask you many details about how you use vehicles in your business, who will be driving them and whether employees, if you have them, are likely to be driving their own cars for your business.
