HometownHero is Writing the Pine's resident Al Bundy. Once a first-round draft pick in the Little Leagues, he now struggles to maintain a .250 batting average in his softball league. He also led his high school football team to its first victory in three seasons by rushing for two touchdowns and recording eight tackles, but has not accomplished anything significant since then. It is quite possible that in the foreseeable future, he may be seen selling shoes, slouching lazily on his couch, watching tv, with his hand down his pants.

These days we’ve been reading a lot about the uncertainty of Michigan’s current coach, Rich Rodriguez. We hear all these rumors, such as yesterday’s ridiculous statement by Michael Wilbon in which he said RichRod is done at Michigan.

Friday, August 7, 2009
Are you an idiot? I have a hard time understanding your logic in threatening to sit out a year and re-enter the draft. How dare you Michael Crabtree. 1. You’re wasting a year of experience. Granted you came out of college early, but why would you waste a year when you could further develop your skills and [...]

Baseball has long served as moments between father and son. Whether its playing catch in the backyard, going to baseball games, or being your little league coach, it’s always been you and your pops. A sacred bond. My father is the one that taught me the difference between a 4-seam fastball and a 2-seam, he kept [...]

Photo Credit: Melissa Majchrzak/NBAE/Getty Images Before anybody goes apeshit on how ridiculous this is, let me start off by asking you to name the starting point guards for the last five NBA champions.
