Even With Momentum, May Be Best to Sit Jake Allen

By Randy Gardner

I always say that a small change in something can make a world of difference. I am a huge proponent of momentum in sports and in life.

Too Many Excuses at This Year’s Super Bowl

By Randy Gardner

Miss Alabama Almost as Famous As QB Boyfriend And the Crimson Tide

By Randy Gardiner

What a shame the National Championship Football Game between Notre Dame and Alabama turned out Monday night. I was so excited about watching the game. I sat down with some snacks and watched the most lopsided game that I have ever seen.
