Craig Carton is BACK

Image
  Craig Carton went from having the NY sports dream job the a star on the number one WFAN show, making over 2 MILLION dollars a year to essentially talk sports, to being locked up for over a year. The story behind what landed him behind bards is nothing less than wild. A blackjack gambling addiction turned fraud scheme, had him betting upwards of millions of dollars, taking helicopters to and from Atlantic City to NYC, just in time to make it to the morning show and do it all over again the next day. Using one gambling investor's money to gamble to pay his debt with another investor. These were gambling investors who invest hundreds of thousands of dollars, at times even millions, expecting a return from Carton's blackjack skills. It all caught up to him when the FBI grabbed him on his way to work in 2017 and he was sentenced to three years in jail. Fast forward, 2020, 1350 days later, its October 29th, 5pm and Chris Carton is back on the radio, back where he belongs, over the ...

Ford V Ferrari

  Boy was I wrong about this movie. I should've known better when the movie is starring Batman himself, Christina Bale. Dude is an absolute stud and an amazing actor. Like most men, I fucking love cars. And this movie is all about cars, but above all, it's about perseverance. An amazing story, and let's thank the good lord this movie isn't about a Nascar race, where in the simplest form is making left turns over and over again. An example of an American car manufacture sick of making mom cars, and wanting to be a winner instead. And a clear example of Americans getting in their own way, but nobody can stop Mr. Bale. The race at stake was the 1966 24 hours of Le Mans. Leave it to the French to make such a cool fucking race. 24 hours of racing. That means day turns into night, dry roads have a chance to turn into rain, minimal rest if any sleep at all. The ultimate test for any crew and driver. Honestly makes any Nascar race look lazy. If you have a free 152 minutes to sp...

Computers Ruined the 2020 World Series

This is above Major League Baseball. This is above the World Series. This is personal. Analytics have officially hit his tipping point and ruined our beautiful game. We as a collective, baseball fans, from all around the world were robbed of potential greatness. 73 pitches into Blake Snell's start, Kevin Cash has the nerve to ruin pitching theatre for the rest of us. Everything we, sports fans, have gone through in 2020 and in the 6th inning of a 1-0 game, Snell allowed his second hit and Kevin had the audacity to take the ball from Snell's left arm. Every baseball fan felt Snell when he yelled "Fucking guy." Who could ever forget, before 5G, before nerds took over baseball front offices, Madison Bumgarner single handily won the SF Giants a World Series. Not on analytics, with grit and heart. Three days rest, loud crowds on the road, none of that mattered. In October 2014, no team was going to stop MadBum from being great, even the third time through Royals lineup. I ...
