Ahh. Baseball, America’s pastime, is currently a topic rarely shown at the top of sports analysis or sports news shows, so what can be done to rectify the situation? I have three steps.

1. Install a game clock to run continuously for three hours with exceptions for extra-curricular activity like slowing the game down in any way. Nine innings have to be completed at a minimum. If, after nine innings, regardless of score, there is still time on the clock, the teams should continue playing until time expires.

2. While the NFL and NHL have a frequent issue with caving in each other’s brains, baseball is like a field full of crops waiting to be harvested...

Tanking, a practice used by professional sports teams in America to get a top draft pick, has been a practice commonly seen in recent years. Proponents say it’s necessary to improve the team, while opponents of it say it abuses the concept of competition.

Let’s face reality, America; we can no longer tolerate tanking. It undermines the spirit of competition in a manner that is unacceptable. The 1919 Chicago White Sox tanked and threw the World Series that year. The players responsible were banned for life as a result. Another example, the 2011 Indianapolis Colts tanked so they could draft Andrew Luck. Where has that gotten them? Zero Super Bowls since he was drafted.

What should we do about tanking, you might ask? For players involved, the penalty should be a hefty fine...

Every Thursday night basketball fans are treated to a blooper reel known as Shaqtin’ A Fool. This segment is under attack from those on the liberal side.

Let’s face it, America; humor is not going to disappear. It is good for keeping morale up. We cannot let the McGees ruin our fun. The McGees are JaVale and his mother Pamela. They are whining about Shaquille O’Neal making fun of him frequently.

Hey, JaVale and Pamela, it’s humor. Nobody is taking it seriously. ESPN has a similar feature called “Not Top 10.” No one is complaining over that. I applaud JaVale wholeheartedly for trying so hard. He should learn to laugh at himself sometimes.

My biggest beef is with media pundits who put themselves above Shaquille’s level on the basis Shaq is only trying to have some fun...

Ah, the National Anthem. Played at every sporting event in America. Is that really necessary? Is doing so an attempt to indoctrinate Americans? Should we be outraged over this practice, when conducted excessively?

The answer to all three of these questions is no.

What exactly are we trying to honor when we sing the anthem before sporting events? I get the Conference Finals and the Championship game, as well as after special (and occasionally infamous) occasions. Other than those, what are we honoring? What’s the point of doing this?

Contrary to recent belief, Americans are not indoctrinated by the anthem. If our decadence could’ve been prevented by it we’d sing it a lot more...

The offseason in the NFL more often than not is littered with players getting in trouble with the law. Each year between the conclusion of mandatory minicamp and the beginning of training camp there isn’t much to do for a young player who’s single that is productive. If I were a young player and I had some free time, I’d go buy a PlayStation 4 and play video games, or go to movies with my friends, or go to baseball games, hoping to be seen.

Unfortunately a few players party at clubs, consume alcohol, get behind the wheel of a vehicle inebriated, and either get arrested for DUI or cause a much larger tragedy, like getting into an auto accident and taking the life of a person. This kind of behavior is very deplorable and very preventable...

Let’s talk about the worst form of human nature, revenge. In baseball, a batter sometimes gets hit with a pitch for any of the following reasons: the batter before him flips his bat when he hits a home run, the same batter does likewise (gets plunked next time up), an opponent gets hit by a pitch and his team retaliates, or the Skipper orders his pitcher to plunk the current batter.

This is one unwritten rule that needs to be thrown in the garbage. First of all, it is a safety issue. Remember Ray Chapman? He died as a result of being hit by a pitch. Batting helmets won’t always save you. Let’s put an end to this rubbish of intentional hit by pitch. The last thing we want to see is a MLB or minor league game turn into a WWE event. Fans didn’t pay to see that nonsense.

Please govern yourselv...

Super Bowl Sunday. No better holiday (yes, it should be considered a holiday and Monday after should be a paid day off work to get over the hangovers) than comraderie with friends and family, stuffing our faces with all kinds of food, from pizza to chips, hamburgers to wings, soda to alcoholic beverages.

Tips for a successful Super Bowl party:

1) Make sure there are a barbecue grill and plenty of charcoal. Gas grills are not safe and the taste isn’t as good

2) Plenty of beverages. Bring as many beverages as you want, but bring only those that you know your buddies will drink and that they last the whole game. If you’re under 21, DO NOT USE OR BRING ALCOHOL TO THE PARTY!

3) If the game is a blowout, don’t turn off the screen. A fan of the team ahead could be enjoying every minute of it...
