It's a small world....

We are still down here at Hooters of Milford, CT and just happened to glance over my left shoulder and who do I see..none other than a 2007 graduate of WCSU, the DH of the baseball team and he was also an alumni of the show, James Furino. Yes...the two Jims are here in Hooters of Milford, with grandmaster Joe and a couple more players of the team watching the game, having a couple cold ones; of what we wont say; and he has just informed me that coming up on Saturday, January 26th he ill be involved in the WPLR 99.1FM Wing Eating Contest at Sports Haven, so make sure you come out to support him and stop by either Hooters and get some of the 3 mile island sauce or go to TK's and get the caribbean hot sauce for him to put on the wings, because that makes it the good taste go down easy. :) that's all for now...enjoy the game, be back with you in about 20 minutes.

Update, WWE News....

Okay, so for those who aren't watching the Pats/Jags game, it seems that they Pats may have bitten off more than they can chew literately. The Jags have evened the score and the game is tied at the Half at 14-14. So while its halftime I'll take the time and let you know some very important news...who remembers the Paul Wight..aka The Big Show from WWE or the Giant from WCW days? Remember on how he said he was retired and not coming back to wrestling? Well, you can take and throw all that out the window as it has been told to us by an inside source that he IS returning to the ring and you can take that to the bank, compliments of LTS..the number one rated sports show in CT. That's our story and we're stickin to it.

2008 Hooters Day

What's up Sportsfans and welcome to 2008. We are coming to you live tonight with a blog on the New England Patriots vs. Jacksonville Jaguars football game, live from Milford, CT at the Hooters Restaurant located on the Boston Post Road. The score right now for those who can't see the game and have access to the web, we will be doing updates at the end of every quarter so I guess now would be a good time to tell you that the New England Patriots are winning the game right now in the second quarter 14-7. We are coming to you now, simply because we couldn't get down here in time..but how many people got to see the football game with the Green Bay Packers against the Seattle Seahawks? Brings back memories of the Ice Bowl game...played at where else but LAMBEAU FIELD. that's all for now, be back in about a half hour.

PS.....THIS PLACE IS FILLED TO THE BRIM.

Update for 08!

What's up fans..okay, so here's the deal. Our last post was more or less just a reflection on the past happenings o f 2007 and we are only three weeks into the new year and already the sports world is being shaken up by what else other than the steroid scandal with unanswered questions. How is a pitcher past his prime capable to still throw a 90MPH fastball? The fact of the matter is this, its been proven to all that Barry Bonds has been taking steroids no matter how much he denies it. We all know it. I know we said we wouldn't address this issue on the show but now my mailbox is starting to get filled with all these questions and just bare with us folks, we will get to the proof and put it out there for you all to see, and we can do that because we are media that's not controlled, we are a community access sports show and this is the time that we love it because we do get all the inside information and we're not main-staged controlled by the bigger networks.
So now the question on whether Roger Clemens is guilty of taking steroids. Well, who's to judge on whether he has or not. He's definitely not showing it obliviously the way Bonds, McGwire and Palmeiro did. As his buddy said "I did it one time on a rehab stint" okay..I'm glad Pettite admitted to it, this year is going to be a long year for the world of baseball and slowly but surely the game we once knew is going to be gone.
Everyone thinks that they can pull a Bill Clinton and get away with....just no cigars involved.

What's In Store For 2008?

Wow..2007 saw a lot of crazy and great things that happened in the sports world as well as some tragedy. Where do we begin? Why don't we start off by saying to everyone that we hope you all had a happy and safe holiday season and was able to bring the new year in with some joy.

Lets Start our year off here with a midsummer night where two legends became legends of the game. July 29th, 2007 was the day that baseballs new ironman, Cal Ripken Jr and Tony Gwynn were enshrined into the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY.
Cal Ripkens streak of 2,632 straight games is something that will never be touched. That's just the lighter side of his career that spanned for decades. Another great achievement was reaching to the midsummer classic 19 times in a 21 year career. He finished his career with 431 HR's and a .276 batting average. The other enshrinement was Tony Gwynn. Gwynn spent a career with the San Diego Padres. He spent 20 years with that team, something that is unheard of; even to this day. Out of that 20 year career, he spent 15 playing in the Midsummer classic. He finished his career with 135 Hr's and a .338 batting average.

Fast forward to November 18th with a spotlight on the NFL. Baltimore Ravens vs. Cleveland Browns. One of the most fired-up defensive players in the league; who was on a cold-streak of not making big plays, stepped up and unleashed what seemed to be an eternity of fustration. #52 Ray Lewis. Lewis had every position covered on that game, going with deep coverage, short coverage, tackles galore. He finshed that day with 23 tackles. When talked to about the game, he just smiled and winked. We both knew that for one day he beat what seemed to beat everyone out there. Father Lewis defeated Father Time.

Rewind back to May 31 with the NBA. There are all kinds of sports athletes that are prospects and step up to have big games, and then there's some who don't live up to the hype. This next superstar did live up to the hype and he finally had a team to help him, not that he needed it on this night. I'm talking about cleveland Cavaliers sensation LeBron James. This was one game where he was often manhandled with coverage of 5 guys to one and still wouldn't get rid of the ball. He ended up going for a final total of 48 points on the night. Can you still wonder if this guy is the next michael jordan or doctor J? Ohh yea, did I mention that this was done against the Detroit Pistons?

And then of course there's the ongoing Steroids scandal. One of the greatest things about this though is that the Bonds ball will forever be tainted with an asterick, just the way his whole career was tainted. But you know every sport has steroids involved in it, theres no such thing as a "clean" athlete anymore. In the 80's it was Hulk Hogan of wrestling fame...Lawrence Taylor of the NFL..and so now, there's some room for it involved in baseball.

That's all for this posting, wil return to you with another update later.
