PATRICK CLANCY

PATRICK CLANCY Is Patrick Clancy for real? I mean somehow, he has risen to the level of God or the papacy. Or perhaps, he’s the male equivalent to Mother Teresa. The husband of the woman accused of killing their three children–5-year-old daughter Cora, 3-year-old son Dawson and 8-month-old son Callan–wants…

KATEY STONE REDUX

KATEY STONE REDUX Sheesh. I can’t believe what I just learned. Apparently Katey Stone, of whom I was enamored as a highly successful women’s collegiate and Olympic ice hockey coach, (see accompanying piece written in March 2022) isn’t what I thought she was.

ALEX OVECHKIN

ALEX OVECHKIN Bobby Orr was the Babe Ruth of hockey. He revolutionized the game. He is the greatest hockey player who ever lived. Arguable to some perhaps, but not to me. However, there are others.

KRIS LETANG

KRIS LETANG The question is this: Just how much can one person take? Everyone has stuff. Problems. Big & small. All you have to do is look to your right and left. To your left and right. That’s exactly what a Harvard Law School professor said to my father’s incoming…

PELE

PELE Edson Arantes do Nascimento, 1940–1982. “The King.” When I was a young boy, Pele was dope, the shit, the definition of the greatest. Like Ali–the self-proclaimed greatest–who came after him. There weren’t many like him (or like Ali) certainly. Pele, who won a record three World Cups and became…

SCOTT BORAS

SCOTT BORAS You can like Scott Boras or hate him. One thing is inarguable. Having earned $191 million in commissions in 2022, Boras easily tops the list of the richest agents in all of sports. This offseason, he has already signed lucrative deals for Trea Turner, Xander Bogaerts, Carlos Correa…
