close Video Tom Brady retirement a welcome sight for some football fans Football fans react to Tampa Bay Buccaneers' Tom Brady second retirement. The history-making quarterback will end his career with seven Super Bowl titles. New York sports radio legend Mike Francesa teamed up with Christopher "Mad Dog" Russo for one more take on Wednesday as the two voices of an era appeared on ESPN. Francesa had one scorching hot take as Tom Brady announced he was "retiring for good" following 23 seasons in the NFL, seven Super Bowl championships and three NFL MVP awards. The voice of New York sports proclaimed that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New England Patriots quarterback was not the best regular-season or Super Bowl quarterback. "Now I’m gonna throw a little oil on the ceremony," the 68-year-old New York native said. "He’s not the best regular-season quarterback I’ve ever seen, Peyton Manning was. He’s not the best Super Bowl quarterback who … [Read more...] about Tom Brady is not the best Super Bowl or regular-season quarterback, sports radio legend says

Darren O’Day is calling it a day. O’Day, a key cog in the Orioles’ bullpen for seven seasons from 2012 to 2018, announced his retirement from baseball Monday after 15 years in the major leagues. O’Day, 40, pitched for six different organizations and is best known for his submarine delivery — a style that made him one of baseball’s best set-up men during his prime. The Jacksonville, Florida, native ends his career with a 2.59 ERA and 21 saves in 609 innings. “The mental, physical, and time demands have finally outweighed my love for the game,” O’Day wrote in a statement posted on Twitter. “When I started in 2006, I didn’t know if I was good enough to compete in MLB, but I was determined to keep going until someone told me otherwise. I hope anyone out there who does things a little different can find inspiration in my story.” O’Day was signed as an undrafted free agent out of college and made his major league debut in 2008 with the Los Angeles Angels. After a brief stint … [Read more...] about Darren O’Day, Orioles reliever from 2012 to 2018, retires after 15 major league seasons

The burn in my legs is real. No, really. I still feel it as I type this. My calves and quads, more specifically, but I think you get the unflattering picture. The Cataract Falls Trail in Mount Tamalpais State Park is a must for lovers of waterfalls (and who isn’t) and now is the time to be there. As Bill Hader’s Stefon would say: "This place has everything." Marin County’s hottest club has surging waterfalls, green moss and lots of steep staircases. I once did this trail with my wife a couple years ago during the height of the coronavirus pandemic. To say that the trip was muddy, slippery and crowded would be an understatement. Even with the extraordinary rains that just dumped on California, this most recent trip was only somewhat muddy, and the fact that I visited on a weekday morning helped with competing hikers. A weekend visit will absolutely be more crowded, so plan accordingly. This level of water hasn’t been seen in the watershed since February 2019. "The early … [Read more...] about Now is the best time for ‘demanding’ Bay Area waterfall hike on Mount Tam

His memories from a lifetime ago are so vivid that Ray Howard is instantly taken back to a fateful, life-changing night in 1953. He was just 10 and tucked up in bed as a violent storm raged around their terraced council home. He says: “It was a foul, nasty night… freezing, freezing cold. I can still hear that wind blowing. “The best place you could be under terrible weather conditions like that was to go to bed, and that’s what we did. “I was woken up with my sister rushing into the room and screaming, ‘There’s water gushing down the street!’.” It was 70 years ago, in the early hours of February 1, and Britain was amid the worst natural disaster in its history.
