In our deepest places, we all wish we could live like Raoul Duke for a while.
Golf is the only sport where watching the game is arguably as grueling physically as playing it.
I don't think anybody's quite accurately branded me. I'm not sure I could do it myself.
High on the list of things I've been meaning to do since I moved to New York in 2004 is going up to a Columbia University football game.
I can't say for sure where I was headed the first time my mom put a blue blazer on me. Church, probably. West Side Presbyterian in Ridgewood, New Jersey, specifically, where my blazer was paired with a clip-on tie and a pair of khakis for a Sunday morning with my fellow congregants.
Watching 'CSI: Miami' is like watching 'Teen Jeopardy!' or doing the crossword puzzle in 'People' magazine. It makes you feel smart even when you're not.
I was a big Dave Winfield guy growing up.
I treat Twitter like a news feed. I follow you guys, I follow every news organization - left, right, center, and everything in between - and it's like a ticker on my phone.

Bacon. Crispy. Salty. I could just eat a mountain of bacon for breakfast; it's so delicious.
