Monday Musings
So I will be too busy this week to get my weekly Shakespeare read in. I could probably find the time to do it, but with how much of my spare time will be eaten up by other things, I really don’t want to spend another 2 to 3 hours for the weekly read. But, [...]
Now we’re getting in to the more obscure sports that get much less attention from the media and the fans, but are no less deserving of it. Unfortunately it’s just a reality that 4 major sports is about all the audience can support, and so it’s really an uphill battle for the rest. Many of [...]
I’m a slacker, I’ll admit it. I kept forgetting to do these posts the past two weeks, remembering only after midnight and it was Tuesday. Well, this week I remembered at least, though with only a little time to spare. Luckily the major sports are done with, and I’m on to the more minor sports, [...]

To be honest, I don’t follow Basketball too much though, particularly since we field one of the consistently worst teams in the NBA. When the Timberwolves made their playoff run years ago, I will [...]
Well, now that I’ve done the sport that is arguably the most popular sport in this country these days, I’ll go with the sport that is considered America’s pastime next. While Baseball isn’t quite as big or popular as Football is these days, it is still easily one of the most popular sports in the [...]
Alright, time to post this weeks post about my current topic; the overall health of our various professional sports in North America. I’m going to start with the sport that is arguably the biggest and most followed sport out there right now, and that is Football. To clarify, I am of course referring to American [...]
As part of my ongoing effort to increase content here on my blog, I’m starting a weekly ramblings session that will take place every monday. For this I will be selecting a topic and will pick it apart in sessions until I’ve gone through everything I’m looking to discuss. This is primarily to keep the [...]
