Best Of’s – Players To Be Named Later

David Ortiz

As Crash Davis said, “I’m the player to be named later”.  For those who don’t know what that means, it’s when a baseball trade occurs, but the final pieces of the deal are not finalized until a later date… that is where the “player to be named later” comes into play.  This is common for […]

Best Of’s – Football’s Mount Rushmore For Each Position

NFL Mount Rushmore

A while back I wrote an article for each State’s Mount Rushmore for the 21st Century.  It sparked a lot of reaction and intelligent debate, which is the goal of any article.  And I’ll be honest, it was fun to compile.
