Published April 6, 2013 | By cjblythe

My interest in NHL hockey has waned considerably over the past several months. There’s just something about watching a bunch of spoiled, multi-million dollar players and owners fighting over the almighty dollar that causes resentment to build. Perhaps it’s because we’re struggling financially due to my being on disability, or… Continue reading →

Published September 18, 2012 | By cjblythe

I am disgusted.

I will not show images or print the content of the slurs that were written on Yunel Escobar’s eye black because the content and intent are extremely disappointing.

I will say, however, that our sports heroes make the buckets of money they do to entertain. They also… Continue reading →
