NEW TGS COVER STORY...SAINTS WIN! ARE CUBS NEXT?  While doing some of our usual radio show guest appearances last week, it wasn't lost upon three of the hosts, Dave Woloshin and Brett Norsworthy on 560 WHBQ in Memphis, and Jimmy Ott on 1210 "The Score" in Baton Rouge, that if Bill Bidwill's Arizona Cardinals and the New Orleans Saints could end up in back-to-back Super Bowls, heck, almost anything might be possible in sports these days. Which made Woloshin and Ott, in particular, wonder if that trend might continue into baseball season, and if their favorite team, the Chicago Cubs, might follow suit and finally make the World Series this coming fall.
And why not? After all, if the Saints can win the Super Bowl (which they did over the Colts, 31-17), why can't the Cubs win the World Series? Read more... |

TGS BASEBALL UPDATE...HALL-OF-FAME VOTING REVIEW  We have long wondered about some of the voting patterns displayed by the "knights of the keyboard" (as Ted Williams used to refer to the baseball writers) in the annual Hall of Fame elections. And the results of this year's election, announced Wednesday, are no different.
We have no qualms with Andre Dawson finally securing admission to the Hall on his ninth try. "The Hawk" was a state-of-the-art as they come from the late '70s thru to the early '90s, and one of the last superstars of the game to precede the steroid era. Besides his noteworthy hitting stats, Dawson also played defense, had a wicked arm, and could run the bases. Congrats to The Hawk Read more... |

EURO SOCCER WEEKLY UPDATE...WORLD CUP DRAW REVIEW!  Sports star of the day...Charlize Theron?
Maybe not, but we guarantee Charlize never had an audience for one of her movies as big as the one that saw her considerably brighten the festivities as the hostess of the 2010 World Cup draw held Friday in Cape Town. South Africa's most famous export with an American accent distracted attention much as Heidi Klum did at the World Cup 2006 draw in Germany, moving gracefully around the stage in Cape Town while struggling to open those little soccer balls with the group designations. Indeed, the whole stage at Cape Town more resembled something out of the National Lottery, with several glass pots filled with little soccer balls to be drawn by Charlize and numerous dignitaries Read more... |
