Think ASU linebacker Vontaze Burfict will be fun to watch? These guys do: Walter Camp Award, Bronco Nagurski Award, Lombardi Award, Butkus Award and the Bednarik Award. All have Vontaze on their pre-season watch lists… The latest holder of the title “Comeback Kids” has to be the Arizona Diamondbacks. After 124 games and 69 wins, […]

Bill Risser Talks Opening Day

April 8, 2011 by Bill Risser 2 Comments

Opening Day.  What comes to mind when you hear or see those two words?  Football? No.  Basketball?  Uh uh.  Hockey?  Really? Opening Day means one thing.  Baseball.  No other sport’s first game of the season has the same magic as baseball’s Opening Day. It doesn’t even have to be professional baseball.  All the way from […]
