Tiger Woods: A Fraud

When it was reported that Tiger Woods was in an accident at 2:25 AM, you just knew that life as he knew it was over. However, no one could have predicted the magnitude of what was to follow. His indiscretions were not simple lapses in good judgment. His dalliances appear to be a long-standing way of life for a man most thought to be the most idealistic athlete in history. Make no mistake: Tiger is not the first or last wealthy, powerful man to be unfaithful. His cheating ways put him on a long… Continue

Michael Vick's Future in NFL

I am a dog lover. My life has consisted of four Great Danes, a Rough Collie, and a Shih Tzu. Each dog remains logged in my memory bank from different times of my life. One of my most heartbreaking memories is when a Dane died in my arms. Another dog memory is loosing my Shih Tzu when a woman broke my heart and left me. She got the dog. I miss that little dog. So, like many, when I learned of Michael Vick’s heinous crimes, I was appalled. Send him to jail and throw away the key! However, now tha… Continue

Baseball Card History

by Jeff Figler, Collectibles Editor, HOFN.com As baseball cards have become a part of American tradition and folklore, it is interesting to see how its evolution developed. A thumbnail sketch is as follows. It is hard to imagine that baseball cards were first issued in 1887 by a few of the existing tobacco companies of that era. A New York company, Goodwin & Company, issued the N172 series in Old Judge and Gypsy Queen cigarette packs. More than 500 players are pictured, and as some players… Continue

Lakers' Greatest Players

If you were watching NBA basketball during the JFK, LBJ, and Nixon presidential era, you must have fallen off your chair when ABC/ESPN broadcaster Jeff Van Gundy recently proclaimed Kobe Bryant the greatest Lakers’ player of all-time. Hell, he doesn’t even make my top four (yet). What makes Van Gundy’s comment even more surprising is that he was born in 1962 and comes from a basketball family. His father, Bill, was head coach at Brockport State University, so I know he recalls the names West an… Continue
