Here we are in mid-October, and for some reason, the horrifically boring game of baseball is still prevalent on my TV. By no means is this my choice, but I can’t avoid it. Baseball playoff games. Highlights of baseball playoff games. Baseball umpires blowing easy, meaningful calls. These calls not getting reviewed by instant replay.  Read More

For some reason, I always try to think if there is anything bad about football season. There’s the Dolphins. There’s my consistently-in-first-place fantasy team. There’s no more baseball (not to me, anyway). When you force yourself to dig deeper, however, there is one con that comes along with the plethora of pros. Sunday fever. Sundays  Read More

Before I get to the main topic of my post, let us all rejoice in the fact that Dolphins-Jets week has arrived. As mentioned several times in this blog, these matchups create a Civil War-like atmosphere in the Herman household. My brother Matt and I are exiled to the playroom to root for the Fins  Read More

As I miserably sit here and watch the Mets (believe me, there’s nothing else  Read More

I apologize to any NFL-crazed, sick-of-baseball fans who are reading this, but I need to take the focus of this blog back to “America’s Pastime” (hopefully for the last time). I, like my two brothers, dog, and every other Mets fan I know, have given up on this season, and for good reason. The pitching  Read More

I always wonder what’s going on in my dad’s head. I mean, I think of myself as a pretty typical 21st century sports fan, except maybe a little more passionate than some. And we just don’t agree on anything. Take the fantasy football issue. Since every single male in the country plays it, and loves  Read More
