The WNBA: An Arena Full of New Problems | Something to Say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Playoffs begin Sunday, and no, I'm not talking about Major League Baseball. The postseason I'm focusing on is the WNBA, which in my half-century of covering sports represents the first sport my wife and I enjoy together. Now, the W has not had an easy time of it, as many of you have no doubt noticed. Something is always going awry, often involving the Indiana Fever's Caitlin Clark to one degree or another, and frequently ropes in embattled league commissioner Cathy Engelbert, a 1986 Lehigh Unive
Why We Keep Coming Back to The Cup | Something to Say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On a recent Saturday night, as my wife, grandson, and I approached The Cup on Linden Street, we made our predictions as to how many people would be standing in line. "10," said my grandson. "12," said my wife. "15," said I. There were 45. Okay, it was Saturday night, but it wasn't the middle of summer, and it wasn't particularly hot. On any given night, there could be 45 people in line at this venerable ice cream establishment at 1430 Linden Street, with a branch on the south side of Bethlehem,
Same Eagles, New Questions | Something to Say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Travel vacation and a couple medical issues have kept me from pontificating for a few weeks, but what better time to return than the drawing nigh kickoff of the Eagles season, 4:25 PM this Sunday, Lincoln Financial against the Washington Commanders. Now, if we conjure up one word about the Eagles' 25-26 season, it might well be "disappointment." The residual effect of the 2025 Super Bowl victory and the subsequent failure to not even win one playoff game, combined of course with our relentlessly
The Chosen One Comes to Sixer Land | Something to Say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
23 years ago, I sat beside 18-year-old LeBron James on a bench in the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room. I was preparing the Sports Illustrated cover story on the most anticipated rookie debut quite possibly ever in any sport. LeBron had already graced the SI cover as a high schooler under the tagline "The Chosen One" (boy, that's not much pressure). We sat there making small talk as an SI photographer prepared for the shoot, and I was keenly aware of our age difference. One of my tricks in that s
In Defense of the Jersey Shore... | Something to Say (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You won't be hearing my voice in this time slot for a few weeks because I'm going down the shore. That's down-a... There's an ongoing debate about why that particular expression evolved, some saying it refers to elevation, as you would go up to the mountains and down to the shore. Others saying it has to do with direction, as in you're going south or down. I favor the latter. And make no mistake about it, when I go to the shore, I'm going south to Jersey, not north to that whole strangely amorph
