From NBC SportsWorld: You might remember a version of this story from a couple of years ago … I go back and find the history of Alcoa’s Fantastic Finishes. More, though, it’s a memory of watching the NFL many years ago, before Red Zone Channels and constant highlights and football games on Sunday night. It…

The Laura Graves Story
From NBC SportsWorld: This was a fun one to write about Laura Graves, an Olympic hopeful in dressage, and her crazy horse. It’s a story that will probably be a movie someday. Movie Magic
Pete, Ty and 4,192
From NBC SportsWorld: With Pete Rose back in the news, at least somewhat, it’s a great time to retell the deception of 4,192, the absurdity of the 1910 batting race and the day Pete Rose REALLY passed Ty Cobb to become the Hit King. Set the Record Straight

Riding with Junior
From NBC SportsWorld: Doing Donuts with Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Drew Carey and the Browns
From NBC SportsWorld: Drew Carey has given up on the Cleveland Browns. This was the fact that kept echoing in my head as I watched every minute of the Browns’ humiliating and brain-dead 37-3 loss to the Bengals on Sunday. Drew Carey — Mr. Cleveland, the city’s native son, a guy who has had his own…
The Koufax-Drysdale Gambit
From NBC SportsWorld Fifty years ago, Sandy Koufax and Don Drysdale tried to take on the system. They failed miserably. Then and Now
