I was born and raised in San Diego, California - so I'm still a big baby during the Minnesota winter. My 10 year old son, Isaac, is the most important thing in the world to me - but don't tell that to my dog or three cats. I am a sports fanatic, and admittedly, a fan of most types of gambling (good thing I never have any money, eh?) I love St. Cloud, and currently live in the great city of Sauk Rapids....Go Storm!

10 Things MN Sports Fans Can Be Thankful For!
It would be easy right now to be very upset with the current status of our local sports teams. The Vikings are a mess, the Twins are coming off their worst season in recent memory, and the Wolves aren't even playing due to the strike. The Vikings will always be Minnesota's first love, so fans will definitely have to be patient with them...
ROCORI Advances To Championship Game With Win Over Hill-Murray!
About 6 weeks ago, I commented during a ROCORI broadcast that this might be the best Spartans football team in the school's history. That's right, the best team ever. I got a lot of criticism for that, with many people just assuming that I was hyping up the Spartans, because of my closeness to the program...
Rocori Will Have A Challenge On Saturday!
The Rocori Spartans quest for a state championship takes an interesting twist, this week.
It's not surprising that they are going to run into a very powerful, well-coached team, from the Metro area. That's exactly what you would expect in the state 4A semi final game. Bu...
Rocori Beats Rogers – Now 2 Wins From State Title!
It's about time to stop making the 'Cinderella' comparisons to the Rocori football team. Simply put, Cinderella NEVER looked this good!
The improbable dream run to a state championship continues for the Rocori Spartans, who last night impressively defeated the defending state runner-ups, the Rogers Royals...
Rocori Vs. Rogers Tomorrow Night In State Quarter Finals!
Now it's really time to "put up, or shut up".
Not that the Rocori Spartans are a bunch of smack talkers, because they certainly aren't. They have the demeanor of their leader, Head Coach Mike Rowe; relaxed, confident, loose, and smart...
Rocori Leaves No Doubt – Wins Section Championship!
There should no longer be any non-believers in our greater St. Cloud area. There is no question who the best high school football team in Central Minnesota is - the Rocori Spartans - and it's not even close.
On Saturday night, the Spartans easily beat their long time conference rivals, Sartell-St...
Sartell/Rocori Will Be A Great One Saturday Night!
It's a huge game locally. It's an important game in each of these communities. And legitimate arguments can be made on both sides, as to who will win.
For Sartell, it was a disappointing regular season. The Sabres finished with a record of (2-6), but the record itself, is deceiving...
Ty James’ Week 8 NFL Locks
Last week wasn't bad, 4-2 including a huge college winner for you, as USC was a ten point 'dog at Notre Dame, and won the game straight up, just as I predicted. There are a lot of big favorites this week, and I have chosen to leave all of them alone...
Ty James’ Week 7 NFL Locks!
The Jets came through for us on Monday night, but last week, in general, did not go well. The Steelers and Patriots both win, but neither cover. Plus, I really wanted to bet on the 49ers in Detroit, but chickened out at the last second...
Ty James’ Week 6 NFL Locks!
It was a "break even" week 5, which is OK occasionally, but that's not making money! The 49ers and the Lions were my big winners last week, and ironically, they play each other this week in Detroit.
I really like both of those teams, so I'm going to leave that game alone...
