It’s April Fools’ Day, one of my least favorite days of the year. I love a good joke, but I never got into pranks. I know this is something I talk about every year. It’s a day for amateurs to try to be funny, and they often fail. I always assumed that this was a…

I watched a lot of this year’s NCAA Basketball Tournament. I’ve probably watched more men’s and women’s games than in recent years combined. And while the rules, for the most part, are the same as when I played back in high school, it’s not the same game. Today, the referees aren’t as critical to most…

I’ve always been a big fan of team uniforms in nearly every sport. I love it when they make updates, big or small. But I’ve noticed something in recent years.
