(Via our DC/Baltimore correspondent Adam Chen) Ahh, the return of many an ex-Raven to the greatest city in the world, Baltimore. Rex Ryan, Bart Scott, and now even long time Raven great Derrick Mason all strolled back home with gang green. Despite the final score of 34-17, this was anything but an offensive shootout, in [...]
As we all know 2011 has been the year of the Lockout. While the NFL Lockout ended up being all bark and no bite (in reality, all it cost us was the Hall of Fame Game), the NBA Lockout continues on. It appears to be leading to a basketball diaspora as some of the best [...]
I was hanging home Saturday afternoon, trying to figure out ways to knock myself unconscious until football started the following afternoon. I got a facebook message from a friend who had a spare ticket to an Atlanta Silverbacks soccer game. If you didn’t know, Atlanta and its surrounding area is devoid of any MLS Teams, [...]
This past Saturday, friends of Lola Sports Talk Dean Vassallo and Jessica Taylor went to Yankee Stadium to to see the Yankees take on a reeling Boston Red Sox team. Their seats were in the swank Legends Suite (you know, those seats that are usually empty on TV because they cost so much). Through their [...]

In 2008 I as living in Vegas and fortunately for me the Jets played 4 games on the west coast that year. Unfortunately for me Brett Favre was their QB. Here’s the story of when I went to go see them in Oakland. This was just a one day trip as got off work [...]
Football season has returned which means that I’m hitting the roads again and following the Jets like stoners follow Phish. I made the 900 mile drive from my home in Atlanta to the Jets home opener. I stopped in Anderson SC to get gas. I mentioned by chance I was going to a football game. [...]
Thar she blows: Red Bull Arena, one of the wave of new, smaller, more sensible MLS stadiums. On Saturday the Red Bulls hosted the Vancouver Whitecaps, an expansion team at the bottom of the table. The Whitecaps are part owned by NBA player, documented soccer enthusiast,and NY resident Steve Nash. The stadium looked pretty cool [...]
My friend Philippe called me at about 12:30 yesterday and said that he just given tickets to the US Open and asked me if I wanted to go. About an hour later, we were on the Grand Central platform for the seven train, sweating through our shirts in the late summer New York subway humidity. [...]
