Heroes get remembered, legends never die

Early this morning we lost the legendary Carmen Basilio. More importantly, we lost a good, good friend. RIP Carmen. You will always be Canastota’s first son.

On the real, though, looks like the Mayans may have gotten that whole 2012 thing wrong after all. High-res

Why Sandy Sucked

Frankenstorm made her presence known last night and wreaked havoc on New York City. That is, every section of New York City except for my neighborhood, the Upper West Side. Instead, Sandy was a little wind, rain and a huge thorn in my side for 24 hours. Here are the top 20 reasons why Sandy sucked, in no particular order:

Excellence in Journalism

ESPN’s Jane McManus recently published an article titled “Tim Tebow might play at RB.” In the article, Tebow is quoted as saying, “It’s not something that’s been talked (about) or planned or worked on at all, so probably not.”

This has been an Excellence in Journalism moment.
