Weekend Primer/Marty Tirrell
Sorry, but the NBA All-star weekend logs a big, fat “0″ with me.
Will say this, however, Celtics and Suns are my pick to play in the NBA Finals.
Now, this Garnett abdominal injury is cause for great concern. Without KG there is no way the C’s get out of the East.
Make it two in a row…Like [...]
Welcome back Bob!
Bob Ryan is back and gets after it. Check out Bob’s comments on Roger Clemens and the Congressional hearings.
All good things must come to an end
The Blue Leather has stopped working.
The Bulldogs fell to Southern Illinois 65-62 in Carbondale.
Drake had several chances down the stretch to pull out a win, but for the first time this season the ball did not bounce their way. You can’t win them all and there is no shame losing in Carbondale. The Salukis are [...]
Try not to make Chris mad tomorrow night
Drake travels to Carbondale tomorrow night to face the Salukis and it seems coach Lowery wasn’t exactly pleased during his trip to Omaha Sunday.
Come on Chris, you guys get more calls than anyone else in the Valley. Your teams don’t get called for a foul until you actually knock someone to the floor. You hand [...]

Bulldog Watch: Drake hosts Evansville tomorrow night at the Knapp Center and you get the sense they are in the mix for a #4, possibly a #3 seed inthe NCAA’s.
I do feel a couple of losses might just be in store here with road games at Butler and S. Illinois.
Here’s hoping the Bulldogs find their [...]
Drake Basketball/Daily Double
Drake Bulldogs bursting onto the national scene with esteemed basketball writer/author John Feinstein weighing in in the Washington Post (registration required) and USA Today with a full page spread today.
The most remarkable story in college basketball this season actually began five years ago, when a son said something he thought his father already knew: “I’ve always [...]
Inside the Numbers/Super Bowl XLII
The Great Gartone/Super Bowl XLII
Q: You’ve ridden the “Dog” against the Patriots for two month (8 games)…now as we approach kick-off are the ‘dogs’ barking again?
GG: It’s time for the them (Patriots) to step up and cover a game? I think not.
Q: So, just like that…it’s the Giants plus the points?
GG: Therefore, continue with my [...]
