Watching Hank Aaron hit his record-setting home run from 1974, it almost means more to me now than it did then. Why? Because I am so glad I saw it as it happened. I was 10 years old when Aaron, in the national spotlight as the season opened amid his chase of Babe Ruth’s record, hit the 715 th home run of his brilliant career. When Aaron passed away at age 86 on Thursday, so many of us thought abou
Don Shula, the winningest coach in National Football League history and hailed by his team as the “patriarch of the Miami Dolphins franchise for 50 years,” died on Monday at age 90, the passing of a legend who said he only wanted to be remembered as a coach who did things the right way. Of that, there is no doubt. Shula oozed integrity and class, universally respected and beloved. He is the person
Our entire family came down with COVID recently and we’re all fine but I have a few observations. The first is a serious public service announcement: Don’t put your health at risk, get the vaccines. All three of us were vaccinated, but I was the only one who had recently gotten the booster, as my wife and son were not yet eligible. So what happened? Our son recovered quickly because he is vaccina
Florida Keys resident Marc Serota saw his share of future NBA Hall of Famers as the Miami Heat team photographer for more than a decade. Serota never missed a home game in his tenure. He was there for the franchise’s first game in 1988. He was behind the lens for all three of the team’s NBA championships. Along the way, he also captured memorable images of NBA superstars on the visiting teams, inc
Fall is such a beautiful season, but not because of the crisp air and lovely colors. It’s because I’ve finally got a chance against the mosquitoes. They’ve been mocking me since May, laughing at my efforts to keep them out of the house, feasting on family blood with reckless abandon – life’s been pretty good for the creature most of us regard as the worst part of summer living. Well, at least unti
The Dallas Cowboys last won the Super Bowl in 1996 and last season may have missed their best chance since to claim another championship, when a 12-5 campaign ended with a playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Yes, most are tabbing Dallas as this year’s favorite to win the NFC East and on paper, it’s a sensible pick. From a statistics standpoint, Dak Prescott is the best quarterback in the divi
The AFC East looks like a competitive division in 2022 and it will be – for second place. Defending division champ Buffalo should have gone to the Super Bowl last season and even in the brutal AFC, the Bills are my pick to represent the conference this year. Miami will be improved and New England is hard to figure, while the Jets will be more competitive than they’ve been in years. Here are my 202
This is a story about setting goals and achieving them, in this case my goal to acquire a new television. I’m sharing how I accomplished it in case you are a goal setter too. And I should clarify. It’s not just buying a TV when you’re married, it’s about bringing a new TV into the marriage. You always hear that as a devoted spouse you need to be regularly thinking of ways to keep your marriage int
Every season in the NFL there is that talented team that brings in the veteran quarterback in hopes of finally getting to a Super Bowl. It usually doesn’t happen, but never say never: It happened last year with the addition of Matthew Stafford to the Los Angeles Rams, who persuaded the Detroit Lions (who else?) to take the uninspiring Jared Goff off their hands. L.A. went on to win it all and that
Tom Brady led the NFL in passing yards (5,316) and touchdowns (43) at age 44, and he won’t care at all if an improved Tampa Bay running game in 2022 puts a dent in those numbers. After all, the man is 45. Tom Terrific is all about winning Super Bowls – he’s got six with New England, one with Tampa Bay – and last year the Bucs didn’t get there, getting out-dueled by the eventual champion Los Angele
