The blog world is a wild place. I have learned a lot of things the hard way since I started doing this last year and it has humbled me like nothing else I’ve done. I have done a lot of things in my life that have molded me into the man that I have become. [...]
The Bolts pulled out a tough win last night against the Canadiens, and with each victory like this the light shines through the ugliness that has darkened this franchise for over a year now. It was a doubly god victory considering all the “Vinny to Montreal” talk and Vinny definitely looked fired up for this [...]
The Magic host the Celtics tonight at 8pm on TNT. It’s the biggest game of the year so far for the Magic, who are currently the best in the NBA. Enough said.

I’ve got some personal issues that have come up and these things will be eating up most of my time over the next few days so things will be slowed down dramatically. In the meantime I’m going to have Steve help me out with some site updates and what not. Any ideas you have that [...]
The playoff games yesterday were outstanding. I found myself just completely drawn to both games and could barely move while watching them, which was bad because I was at work. Oh well, my job is safe. There wasn’t much else on so I decided to watch a little of the Phoenix/Edmonton hockey game and I [...]
The Magic are tearing through the NBA right now with a 33-8 record and look like serious title contenders right now. The improvement on both sides of the court is relevant to everyone picking up their game. Turk is what he always has been, a cold blooded beast that attacks other teams defense’s with the [...]
Orlando capped of their 4-0 road trip last night with another convincing win, a 106-88 victory in Denver. The Nuggets are a good team but the Magic turned it up in the fourth quarter to run away with it. Turk, Nelson and Lewis took it to the Nuggets combining for 77 of the Magic’s 106 [...]
I have to admit I was a little surprised to learn that the Gruden/Allen era came to an end on Friday, but was happy I was at work when I heard it. My immediate reaction was laughing and jumping for joy, but as I let it settle in I tried to put things into perspective. [...]
I’m not going to bother going over it too much because I’m sure everyone out there saw the aerial bombing that the Magic dropped on Sacramento on Tuesday, but it was amazing to watch. Normally when teams get hot like that you just sit back and wait for them to cool down and see what [...]
I’ve been attempting to watch as many Lightning games as possible this season as I work 60 hours a week and I find myself wondering, why? If there were Rays, Bucs, Magic and Lightning games on all at the same time, they basically go in that order as I choose to watch them. My first [...]
The Rays have inked Gabe Kapler to a one year $1 million deal to be the fourth/fifth outfielder for 2009. They have been fairly active with minor leaguers too but I’ll leave that stuff to Rays Index. I’m as conflicted as a person be about this signing considering he’s a reserve outfielder. I like it in [...]

I need some help with a couple things on the site at the moment. First off, I hate Brighthouse and need to change service. Can anyone out there tell me if Verizon is in Pinellas County yet? If so, how good is it? I’m also having a tough time finding a Wordpress plugin that works [...]
What we have seen so far from the Orlando Magic this season has been remarkable so far and all of us fans should be excited for what may be to come. The Magic are now sitting atop the NBA along with Boston and the Lakers as the first teams to clinch the 30 victory mark [...]
As I try to catch up with everything there will be some rambling and I’ll start with this, the Hall of Fame vote is stupid. Not just baseball, which brought this on, but any Hall of Fame vote. I think this because the voters, aside from most of them being guys who never played the [...]
The Heater has put out a post that Rocco Baldelli is all but gone. Rocco has basically become an afterthought now with the signing of Pat Burrell and the limited funds left that we assume will go toward the bullpen. That’s fine. The Rays owe nothing to Rocco and Rocco owes nothing to the Rays. I [...]
The Bolts have been a bad team for a couple seasons now and they have become a laughing stock inside the NHL with the circus that they created since acquired by Oren Koules. They are playing better lately but still aren’t anywhere close to the realm of contention and yet I still believe they will [...]
The Magic invited the Wizards into Orlando last night for what has become common occurrence, a loss. Granted these are the Gilbert Arenas-less Wizards, but they are an NBA team none the less. Caron Butler went off for 29 points but got little help as the Magic’s balanced scoring and good defense carried them throughout. [...]

I’m currently working on some player cards for the site. These are going to be short bio type things with basic info and a short opinion of what we think of the players on our beloved teams that we cover. I’m not a fan of profiles or anything like that because I’m not a journalist, [...]
