I see the Blackhawks have traded Duncan Keith to the Oilers for Caleb Jones and a draft pick. Edmonton gets better and the Hawks piss me off.

I am a rabid reader of detective/spy/action thrillers and am looking for new books to read. Tom Clancy and Robert B. Parker were my favorites and I have read all of Grisham, Baldacci, Le Carré, Forsythe, Higgins, Ludlum, et. al. Do you folks have any recommendations for a desperate fellow...

Is everybody ready for tonight's airing of Cosmos: Possible Worlds? I understand that Seth MacFarlane, Viggo Mortensen, and Patrick Stewart, among others, are going to assist host Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Just watching an old episode of Rizzoli & Isles and these two guys are both in it. Freaked me out

Are you kidding me? Mike Golic, the heart and soul of ESPN sports talk radio is being kicked to the curb as of July 31. In their infinite wisdom, ESPN's suits want to replace Golic's (with Trey Wingo) show with a show with those household radio names Keyshawn Johnson, Jay Williams and Zubin...

Overnight I became a huge fan of the musical Hamilton. Great music, not bad as history and excellent performances. You can stream it on Disney+.

This book by Simon Winchester (The Professor And The Madman) chronicles the history of man's pursuit of precision in how things are manufactured. For example, James Watt invented the steam engine but a fellow named Wilkinson invented the tools to bore the more precise cylinders that made the...

I was rummaging through a box in the basement the other day looking for some old photos (which I never found) when I found a list of ballplayers I started over drinks with a buddy one night about 25 years ago. The list had all but the last 6-8 names on it which I added just a few days ago...

T minus 3 hrs 14 min. Astronauts are on the way to the pad for Launch America. It's cool to see live manned spaceflight again. They're travelling in a Tesla rather than a crew van.

And what do you think of it so far? I've enjoyed the first four episodes. We in Chicagoland knew a lot of that drama was going on (but not all of it), but we were mostly ignored it as long as they kept winning. Phil Jackson's handling of Dennis Rodman was exemplary and showed why Jerry Kraus was...

As part of my winter reading programme, I read Thomas Malory's Le Morte d'Arthur his great 15th century contribution to the stories of Arthur, Merlin, Guinevere, Morgan le Fay, et. al. It was wonderful though rough reading because of the archaic spelling of many words and other words with which...

In baseball and world football, the standard for overturning a call on the field is "clear and obvious error." If a replay takes minutes (not seconds) and multiple prolonged looks at replay vantage points, by definition, no error detected could be clear or obvious. I propose a 30 second time...

Who can tell me why it takes two days to play the last five minutes of a college basketball game?

Just saw on Fox Sports that Kobe was killed in a helicopter crash. RIP Kobe.

I posted earlier that I would put the late Neil Peart on the Mount Rushmore for drummers, Alongside him I would put Ginger Baker, John Bonham and Carl Palmer. Who would be your Fab Four drummers.

I know this subject must have been discussed here before, but I want to know why the baseball people who use statistics as what they optimistically call "analytics" use WAR as some sort of benchmark statistic. I have seen most of the many definitions of WAR and realized it is total mathematical...

Well, we have four days ahead of listening to Joe bleeping Buck screwing up the coverage of the U.S. Open. Besides Joe, who is my personal least favorite sportscaster, who are the worst announcers - any sport?
