Ok, I’ve been away for a while. I think it’s justified considering I’ve been sick and the doctors can’t seem to figure out what’s wrong. Anyway, to get back into the swing of things, let’s start with another poll.
Email me and tell me your favorite sports movies of all time. I’ll post results next week. ESPN ran their top 25 last week and I must say I was underwhelmed. Now, “pick me out a winner Bobby.”

Every year the AAA All Star game goes largely unnoticed. Too bad. A passed ball in the ninth allowed Calvin Pickering of Omaha to score from third and tie the game. League rules require that the game end after 10 innings regardless of the score. (Thanks a lot Mr. Selig!) So, it looked like game was going to end in a 3-3 tie. In the bottom of the 10th with two outs, Columbus Clipper Andy Phillips hit a solo bomb to left field. This, …

It?s time to announce the Inaugural Tub of Goo Team. I decided to induct an even dozen for the first year, then each year we can add more to the squad. The following men will be forever enshrined in Goo-dom.

…but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

Ok, this is the part where you (the reader) get to interact with me (the lunatic). I am accepting nominations for the All Tub of Goo Team. These are players who, despite being out of shape, played Major League Baseball. I currently would qualify for the team in as much as I am out of shape and well, a tub of goo. I think this will help motivate me to lose weight. Anyway I will start the nominations off with a few of mine …

While it is true that skating is a mode of transportation, there are other skills involved. Running is transportation but the other three sports (basketball, baseball, and football) have it. As for the number of players: hockey-5 (yes the goalie makes six, but he doesn’t count…Because I said so. Don’t argue.) Since there are multiple skills (and Canadians are good at it) I say it is a sport.

Winter Olympics Geoff & Jeff style:
(excerpts from a series of emails)
Jeff: I would like to rule out all ?sports? involving Dick Button and the ones where the crowd has to be quiet.
Geoff: Figure skating is definitely an activity. I feel your Dick Button clause is still valid. Also, they have this “death spiral” move where death isn’t even remotely possible. They should refer to it as the “possible cold butt spiral.”
Jeff: For the sake of the children, we need to rule out many of the Winter …

Oh, yeah. It?s heating up. I shall try to respond to the first round of comments to the ?What is a Sport debate.
First to Matt: Take your meds! Gardening is definitely not a sport!
Second to Brian: According to Geoff, ?Hockey – I have come to realize that in order to be a sport, there must be more than one skill involved. Hockey has skating, but also stick-handling, checking, shooting, etc. It has defense, teams, is pointless, and is therefore a sport.?
BTW, Geoff is …

The Geoff and Jeff Show never aired in North America. Come to think of it, we weren?t allowed on television in the Western Hemisphere. Too bad. We had a brilliant concept that was way ahead of its time. Today, there are many imitators. The Mike and Mike show on ESPN radio, The Best Damn Sports Show on Fox, and the Sports Reporters are all pale imitators. The original, the funniest, and the one that never made it to the airwaves was the Geoff and …

The Real Fab Five was…
