T.G. Smith - Gapshots and Whiffs

Smith writes about this year's Pro Bowl and NHL All-Star game.
I don't remember exactly when I first heard who Joe Paterno was, but if memory serves it was somewhere in the late 1970s. By 1979 I had started paying attention to college football and even got to go to the Orange Bowl that New Year's Day, so that's probably the right time.
So, I kind of have to be a little careful about broaching the subject of this week's Gap Shots & Whiffs, especially being a like-minded person to the subject and all. However, with the NFL playoffs reaching its high point this past weekend, I figured it would be worth mentioning. Especially since the player in question was playing quarterback for the Denver Broncos on Saturday against New England.
Smith writes about the possibilities of the NCAA adding a plus-one game at the end of the football season to determine a true national champion.

MLB preview: Kansas City Royals

The Royals have enough young talent to make them the team most likely to stop the Tigers from ruling the AL Central for the next few years. But they're a year, or more, away.

MLB preview: Detroit Tigers

Even with Prince Fielder, Detroit may have only the sixth-best roster in the American League in my book (maybe the seventh if the Blue Jays really put it together). In the Central, that is plenty to be the favorite.
