Football

It's time for my favorite part of football season, the Puppy Bowl! Animal Planet has just announced the players and the best part about this year is that they have an amazing collective backstory.

Remember when people were talking about the the Giants as a possible Super Bowl contender? My how the mighty have fallen.  An underachieving team, lack of discipline, and the benching of Eli Manning all led to the firing this morning of New York Giants head coach Bob McAdoo.

Know of any high caliber football players that would love a chance to play professionally?  While many local athletes are waiting for an opportunity try out for the Albany Arena Football team (the team hasn't disclosed info for open tryouts yet)  multiple jobs do await.  I love what I do, but I must admit, working for a professional sports franchise seems like a pretty cool gig.

When my family gets together for Thanksgiving, it's usually a s**t show and I love it.  That's what makes us truly, well...special.  Maybe your family does some of the same dysfunctional things mine does, but I doubt it. Enjoy

Cooking Thanksgiving dinner is serious work, I don't even cook it and my anxiety is already kicking in!  It's time consuming, expensive and exhausting. Imagine charging your family $30 a plate to show up and eat turkey.  With Thanksgiving right around the corner, would you pay $30 a plate to literally not have to lift a finger, except of course to feed your face?

I grew up in Mechanicville, a small town with a ton of pride. Anytime someone does well from Mechanicville, I like to highlight them and hope they get the recognition they deserve. This time, it's a linebacker for the UAlbany Great Danes.

Former UAB quarterback and current country music star Sam Hunt will put on a free concert in Birmingham leading into the return of UAB football. Hunt, as many of you know, played big time college football at the University of Alabama Birmingham. Check out this video highlight package of Hunt, the QB, taking on the vaunted defense of the Florida State Seminoles in a game from 2007. How do you think

They say that your time in high school is considered to be some of the best years of your life and I was lucky enough to spend mine at Notre Dame- Bishop Gibbons in Schenectady (Class of 2006). I was crushed to find out that someone came to my school and set the field house on fire but luckily they're moving forward.

New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning is being accused of a scheme that involved giving "fake" game worn helmets to collectors. They sell this stuff for huge money, and for the life of me I've never understood why people buy it!

Garth has been in town for 3 shows this weekend, and has not just been playing music.

To many, Mr. Gully was an amazing man and I, like many, remember him fondly.
