I have been holding back on this topic for quite some time, but I just have to finally roll it out. One reason I have had it on hold is because since everyone seems to think I am a racist (I am not), I didn’t want everyone to think I am a sexist as well […]

Former Bills great OJ Simpson was handed parole for some of his 2008 convictions by a Nevada parole panel. This does not mean that he will be free though. Simpson was convicted 5 years ago for burglary, assault and extortion for trying to get back sports memorabilia from two dealers in Vegas that he said […]

I hate when I have to be the arbiter of good taste in sports, but there is a problem brewing in Beantown. The Boston Red Sox have taken the hockey tradition of “playoff beards” and boosted it to a new, even hairier level.  It ain’t pretty. Hey, I should know!  Remember?  My namesake, Craig Schaller […]

Well sports fans….welcome to the worst time of the sports year.   From the day after the Super Bowl ends to the day the NCAA tournament begins, this is where sports fans enter sports “no mans land”.  It is a yearly purgatory that we sports fans have to suffer through each and every year. This […]

Time keeps on slipping…into the futrure”  –Steve Miller, 1976 I have nothing to say about sports.  What can I say?  It’s that time of year.  Oh sure, I could talk about Syracuse’s collapse recently, or go into my thoughts on who the Buffalo Bills should target in free agency, or the Knicks total ineptitude.  Really […]
