Much of my college career at St. Lawrence University was spent arguing about sports (the rest involved other assorted non-printable social activities, spritzed every once in a while with a class.) The most heated discussions outside of who was more hated (the Redskins or Giants) came with the college polls, football and basketball.
They add layers [...]

Amazingly, 18 holes of watching my off plane swing did not affect Jay Haas in round one of the Constellation Energy Sr. Players Championship. Haas went low with a 66 Thursday, earning a tie for 2nd place with Tom Watson, one shot back of Lonnie Nielsen.
Haas was forced to endure, as he is every week [...]
Game Day and the fog has lifted
September 27, 2009
A dreary, drizzly morning gives way to balmy sunshine at M&T Bank Stadium. Maybe not a legitimate metaphor for the Ravens, but it lately it seems awfully sunny in Baltimore.
As they ready for the Browns they sit at 2-0 atop the AFC North despite not having neared their best football. They offered enough mistakes in [...]
2009 Season Recap: Part 2
September 15, 2009
A ficticious review of the season rolls on, but just in case you want thoughts on actual events, check out my real game recap right here: http://wbal.com/apps/news/templates/ravens.aspx?articleid=35658&zoneid=5
As for the continued ridiculousness, please remember that attempts at humor do no neccesarily reflect the opinions of my bosses, family, or Chris Dachille.
Week 5: How in the name of [...]
Season Recap Preview: Part 1
September 9, 2009
An oxymoron? Sure. Take away the first two syllables and my wife will tell you it’s spot on. But deterred I am not. So here’s a recap of the Ravens 2009 Season.
Week 1: I still can’t believe the Chiefs started Matt Cassel. Seriously flawed logic in allowing a gimpy QB to face the Ravens rush [...]
Snoop a loop
August 6, 2009
Training camp elicits many descriptions from players. Intense, exhausting, draining, miserable, and fun. Fun? Today, camp was fun.
Already invigorated by a cool cloudy morning in which the team practiced with playoff energy, the Ravens received a visitor. Snoop Dogg.
The former gang banger turned multi, multi million dollar rapper, slash actor watched practice from the Ravens [...]
2 weeks from today
July 30, 2009
The Ravens kickoff the preseason hosting the Redskins. They do so with all their draft picks signed and ready for the first day of full team training camp. No other hold outs from veterans either as they prepare for the season (minus Derrick Mason’s retirement which may, or may not prove to be a hold [...]
Happy Training Camp Month!
July 3, 2009
All diversions and no football make Petey snarky boy.
Enough of the Orioles tantalizing then traumatizing.
Enough of the only occasional non rain soaked golf.
Enough tennis, on grass, indoors. Mother Nature finds much at fault with that abomination.
Enough quality US soccer. You can’t suck me in with [...]
Going, going..
June 3, 2009
Going out with a bang. Bulle Rock, arguably Maryland’s finest public golf course, enjoys the best shape of its 11 year career (a bold statement.) Nice to see that the near perfection comes just in time for the LPGA Championship. Not so nice that this is the final year of the event for Harford County.
The [...]
We are all witnesses
May 30, 2009
A nice add Nike ad campaign for LeBron James, and the perfect needling joke for a rookie catcher. Orioles starting pitcher Jeremy Guthrie had some fun pre-game with Matt Wieters. The veteran righty taped signs on the back on the dugout that read, “WE ARE ALL WITNESSES”. A mocking jab at Wieters for all the [...]
