Rochester.Metromix.com: You’re in Bills country, but …

Face it. You’re in Bills country. And if that’s not enough, many folks around here are also crazy for the New York Giants and the Jets.

But if you dig a little, you’ll find bars that support the Steelers, Browns, Saints, among other NFL teams. So get out of the house and cheer on your favorite NFL team with some like-minded fans at these Rochester-area bars: Romig's Tavern, Six Pockets, Tully's, TC Hooligans, German House, Stucko's, Bathtub Billy's and The Distillery...

TheFatherLife.com: The Week in Sports #12.

What year is it, 2007? It sure feels like it. That year, the Colorado Rockies won 21 of their last 22 games to force a one game playoff with the San Diego Padres for the National League Wildcard. We all know what happened. The Rockies won the game in extra innings and went on to embarrass the rest of the NL en route to a World Series appearance. The story didn’t have a Disney ending though, as the Boston Red sox swept the Rockies in the Series. But, 2009 seems eerily similar to 2007...

TheFatherLife.com: Osburn on Tap: Beer Festivals.

So you’re not much of a beer drinker, eh? Is it because all you know about the frothy stuff is fizzy, yellow, mass produced water beer full of corn and rice? Don’t you worry, there’s still hope for you to join the ranks of the beer drinkers and possibly even the beer enthusiasts. But how can you do this without buying dozens of pricey six-packs of craft brews in an attempt to find your favorite? The easiest way is to try a lot of different brews from as many breweries as possible in a short period of time. Where would one accomplish such a Herculean task? At a beer festival, that’s where...

TheFatherLife.com: The Week in Sports #11.

Wow, Brett Favre is back…again. He signed with the Minnesota Vikings earlier this week and is expected to play in tonight’s preseason game against Kansas City. I was all set to write a scathing article about how I’m sick and tired of Favre and his constant flip-flopping, but I’ve changed my mind and I have a whole new perspective on the situation...

TheFatherLife.com: NCAA Football 2009 Preseason Power Rankings.

Another year of pigskin glory is upon us. Well, actually it won’t technically be upon so for another three weeks or so, but that won’t stop me from attempting to rank the top twenty-five Division I teams in the land. On the list are some of the usual suspects as well as some teams that are out to make a name for themselves. This list will be completely different come December, and I plan to come back and check out how right (wrong) I was in my selections. So without further adieu, here are your preseason power rankings.

TheFatherLife.com: The Week in Sports #10.

Terrell Owens is already feeling the heat from an unruly Bills fan. Owens, who’s been out of practice for the last week due to a sore ankle, received flowers and a note calling him a pansy for sitting out. He responded to the gift on his Twitter account, and it is quite obvious that he can handle the haters. Owens response was @terrellowens “Just wanted 2 say thanx again 2 whomever sent the flowers, my dorm room needed the touch! i may twitpic the flowers!” It remains to be seen how Owens handles “fans” like this if the Bills are out of the playoff picture in December.

TheFatherLife.com: The Week in Sports #9.

I’m no fan of taking a nine-iron to a deceased thoroughbred, but as a Red Sox fan I felt that I needed to chime in on the whole “steroids” discussion. Captain Clutch, David Ortiz, the man who was one of the key components that ended eighty-six years of misery in Boston, tested positive for something (we don’t know what) illegal in 2003. His name is now added to the infamous along with Manny Ramirez, Sammy Sosa and others.

Back in the summer of 2002, my friends and I took a road trip to see some Major League Baseball games. It’s one of my favorite summer memories of my life.
