I’m very pleased today to announce the release of Capsule, the developer’s code journal. Capsule replaces the scratch document you have…
GameTonight now creates a module for Panic’s excellent Status Board iPad app. The URL is simple, add ‘/statusboard’ to any metro…
I’ve just released an initial beta of Threads, a WordPress plugin I’ve been working on for about a year. The idea is simple: show posts…
This year’s Ryder Cup has been some of the most exciting golf I’ve seen in ages; really great play on both sides. Sorry that I’ll miss many of the singles matches tomorrow, but I’d rather play than watch and I have a morning tee time. The iPhone app is great, I will probably keep my…
Last year I made some SWAGs about which NFL teams that made the playoffs in 2010 would miss in the 2011 season. Recapping those predictions here. Atlanta Baltimore Chicago Green Bay Indianapolis Kansas City New England New Orleans NY Jets Philadelphia Pittsburgh Seattle italic = predicted to miss the playoffs bold = did miss the…
It’s baseball season again, and in downtown Denver that means traffic and bad cell phone connections. We can’t do much about the latter, but be sure to use GameTonight for warning about potential traffic concerns. GameTonight is a single-serving site that answers “is there a game tonight?” and tracks the major sports teams in 1516…
Every year about half of the teams that make the playoffs in the NFL fail to get back there the following year. Here are the teams from the last few years. Who do you think will fall out of the playoffs from last year’s batch? 2008 7 of 12 teams (bold) failed to make the…
What the heck is Nike doing to college football uniforms? Feathers (or wings)? Wire? I can’t believe we’re seeing something worse than diamondplate. It’s one thing for the University of Nike Oregon to be a testing ground, but Florida too? Yikes, it’s spreading!
I wonder how Cleveland fans feel about the game 1 matchup in this year’s World Series. Discuss…
My first game at Camden Yards became my first rainout at Camden Yards. The rain was definitely welcome as it had been a scorcher (97 degrees plus humidity) in Baltimore today. Along with the rain came some impressive wind and lightning. Camden Yards is an excellent ballpark – definitely recommended. It’s clearly the father of…
I think there are two reason why the baseball’s All-Star game has lost some of its shine. 1. Interleague play. Before interleague play the only time the best hitters and pitchers from each league faced each other was in the mid-summer classic and the World Series. Interleague play has cheapened that – it’s a shame.…
In chatting with folks about the Super Bowl, it’s very interesting to see how the one loss is coloring the season for the Patriots. Had they won, their close games down the stretch would have been an example of their greatness: they “found a way to win” when they needed to. Now that they’ve lost…
Wow, the Rockies continue their unbelievable run by sweeping the Phillies to face Arizona in the NLCS. Winning 17 of their last 18 games – amazing! Keep it going boys, this is really fun to watch.
The PGA Tour is trying a new experiment this year with the FedEx Cup, a season long standings race culminating in a big playoff and payoff for the winners. A quick glance at the standings show that Tiger has a slim lead at the top over Phil and Vijay, with the rest of the pack…
Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball got a nice upgrade this year. The things I’m particularly enjoying so far: A Roto-League Standings Visualization Brilliant! A great way to see where you are in your league, and particularly what areas you need to make a move in. Improved Offline Draft Submission My keeper league does an offline draft every…
Michael Wilbon: Albert Pujols scored a perfect 100 on his citizenship test, are you impressed? Tony Kornheiser: I am. Brad Lidge served that up to him. I can’t wait for baseball season.
I’ve said it before and I’m sorry to have to say it again now – Tim McCarver ruins baseball games. Between his idiotic babbling and Fox missing half the game to show random close-ups of people’s faces, it’s really hard to enjoy the postseason so far. And that’s a shame. The comments are open, throw…
Wow – seeing the Yankee offense shut down so thoroughly was both surprising and impressive. Tigers – A’s for the AL crown, should be a good battle. If Zito pitches well, the A’s have a good chance. Yankees 2006 payroll: $198,662,180 A’s + Twins + Tigers 2006 Payroll: $208,434,171 No additional commentary needed.
