The 13 most memorable individual altercations in sports, Part One
March 4th, 2011 by Chris HumpherysWhen I first heard that Jerry Sloan, long time coach of the Utah Jazz, had retired due to an alleged altercation with point guard Deron Williams (which inadvertently led to both of them leaving Utah), I was immediately taken by surprise, even though we all know Coach Sloan never met a fight he didn’t like.

February 23rd, 2011 by Chris HumpherysTo paraphrase Herm Ewards, one of the great things about sports is the never-ending, and often unresolved, debates over “Who’s better?” Brady or Manning, Magic or the Big O, Boggs or Gwynn, Emmitt or Barry, Russell or Chamberlain. Read the rest of this entry »

A review of Freedarko’s The Undisputed Guide to Pro Basketball History
February 21st, 2011 by Chris HumpherysMost books written about sports are either compiled by pre-historic journalists out of touch with the modern era, former athletes who have their life story transcribed for them by another, or fans who have been able to piece together a few complete sentences well enough to impress their publisher.

Like the Heat, hate the Heat. Still undecided.
July 28th, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI’m torn.
Not Rip Torn, the actor, but torn torn. Unsure torn. Conflicted torn.
Now that some of the dust has settled since LeBron James publicly spurned Cleveland for the oft-unfilled American Airlines Arena, I’m still not sure whether the move was a) good for the league b) good for the fans or c) one I’m looking forward to watching. Read the rest of this entry »
