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!

The Original Superman Calls It Quits – Shaq Retires
Dwight Howard may be Superman now, but he's not the original. And back in the 90's, not even cryptonite could stop Shaq.
Shaquille O'Neal, one of the most dominating and entertaining centers in NBA history, has announced his retirement...
Mavs Pull Off Comeback For The Ages!
I know it's a baseball term, but you can stick a fork in the Oklahoma City Thunder, because they're done.
Just like that 4 pound bass I had on my line Saturday morning, the Thunder let a big one get away last night. I can go fishing again, however, in that exact same spot this afternoon...
Dirk Proves He Is Among The Elite!
The Dallas Mavericks have been a perennial playoff disappointment for several years, now. It really started in 2005. They had a 2-0 series lead in the NBA Finals over the Miami Heat, and had a 10 point lead in Game 3 with two minutes left...
Animal Kingdom Beats Nehro To Win Derby At 20/1
Nehro ran his heart out in Saturday's 137th running of the Kentucky Derby. But like my father once told me after a baseball game - "Sometimes you just get beat".
That was the case on Saturday, when longshot Animal Kingdom came roaring down the strecth, winning the Derby at 20-1, leaving Nehro - and the rest of the 19 horse field - helpless in his wake...
More Than One Reason to Like “Nehro” In The Derby!
Everybody loves a heart warming story - and this would certainly be one. Whether you're a horse racing fan, or not, it's hard to not root for my horse in this year's Kentucky Derby, Nehro.
I'll explain.
On Derby Day in 1992, my friends and I were fired up for the race...
Liriano’s No-No Could Wake The Twins Up!
I don't know about you, but after last night's no-hitter from Francisco Liriano in Chicago, I've got full blown 'TWINS FEVER' again.
I know they're still in last place. I know their best player, Joe Mauer, is still out. They are also missing Delmon Young, right now...
If The Kings Can Leave Sacramento….
Fans of the Minnesota Timberwolves should pay close attention to what is currently going on in Sacramento. The Kings ownership wants to move the team, and has wanted to for quite some time.
Sacramento Mayor Kevin Johnson, who himself was a terrific point guard in the NBA for several years, is trying to save the team...
A “Glass Half Full” Approach To Vikes Draft
Since taking Christian Ponder with the 12th overall pick in the NFL's draft last Thursday night, the Vikings have taken a lot of criticism. And, I admit, when I watched it live - I fell off the couch and almost had a mild heart attack. I mean, there were still a lot of very good players on the board, when we took Christian Ponder...
A December With No NFL And No NBA?
I had a bad dream last night. When I woke up, though, I felt even worse than I did while in the midst of my nightmare. You see, I realized that my horrific dream, may actually come to reality.
I dreamt that it was around Christmas time, early December...
Eastern Conference Shaping Up Nicely For Chicago!
The Chicago Bulls are back. That's not exactly 'breaking news' to hardcore NBA fans who have watched the Bulls play terrific basketball all season long. But there are still non-believers.
I am NOT one of them, however.
Derrick Rose is this year's MVP, no question about it...
