After watching the U.S. Open online, I have to say that I’m no longer against the Monday 18 hole playoff. Watching the entire playoff, it was tremendous golf and drama. Seeing Tiger Woods and Rocco Mediate battle it out over 19 extra holes was a bonus and if the USGA wants to keep tradition and […]

Since we’re in the midst of the NBA Finals (which could end tonight), I figure I would give you some of the old opens. ABC had the NBA in the 1960’s and early 1970’s, but in 1973, CBS took over the contract. CBS held the rights from the 1973-74 season until the 1989-90 season. CBS […]

I’ve been Mr. Fixit today, running errands and fixing things around the house. I just wondered what we did before HGTV or DIY Network.
