John Tortorella is Long Gone but his Press Conferences Said a Lot About the Media
Photo by Rich Mitchell The Rangers fired John Tortorella several years ago. He had refused to yield his style to the makeup of the team roster and got what he deserved. But I still miss his press conferences and not just for the entertainment value.

Things to Note for First-time Skaters
I went skating for the first time ever with an African Association in my school and I had a cocktail of emotions that I was feeling before, during and after skating. What I had imagined in my head was like the ones in the movies where the guy holds the girl or the girl hold the guy and one of them falls in such a pleasant way but my reality was far from that. So, I’m going to be dropping some things that I learned in my first skating experience.

Golf advice
First of all... There are two rules. Everyone should learn the fundamentals of golf if you want to play the game. Second... fast golf is good golf. If you are going to make a 9 on a par 4, please pick up and move the fuck on. Nobody wants to be stuck behind you or stuck playing with you. It’s the cold hard truth. It’s not enjoyable to watch, and hinders confidence for the growing golfer.

But life has a funny way of making you change your mind, and since then, I’ve become quite an enthusiast. This time around, I’m doing it my way: I use a bow instead of a rifle, and I tend to avoid late summer and fall.

Mahopac Umpire Is Still at It After 50 Between the Lines
A basketball referee who is as youthful looking as 91 year old Bob Manning could easily go unnoticed as teams set up in the half court offense. On the other hand, when games goes up tempo his lag was hard to miss - especially from one very pertinent individual. “They would start the fast break and were all going past me before I got to half court. So I felt I was cheating the girls,” said Manning. “They gave me a party and I retired.” But Manning still does have both a whistle and well functioning right thumb, and he continues to put them to good use.
