Daniel Riley Sports Talk Radio

With too many worried they can’t go to college or fear being silenced, re-examining what we know about society is crucial. Ego is the enemy nowadays; putting it aside is not easy in a society like the US, but it must be done. Otherwise, we’re all in hot water.

Either Michael Oher is shaking down the Tuohys, or he was exploited for a quick buck. Either way, this is reminiscent of the Danny Almonte scandal in a way: sports became a vehicle to manipulate family for money. It’s a lesson for leagues to prevent similar scandals years down the road.

Detroit has been through depressions, lousy weather, and bad press far too often. That’s why football attracts Detroiters like magnets. The sport attracts athletes who are expected to have grit and deal with terrible times. A mindset Michiganders have.

Let’s remember that before we laugh at Lions fans..

Paul Reubens's (Pee-wee Herman) death comes at the height of political turmoil and a pandemic, with a laugh, needed more than ever. Comedy has made the unbearable easier to get through more than anything I can think of. For the sake of our mental and emotional health, we need a laugh more than ever in these troubled times.

The NCAA has no idea what it’s getting into tolerating anything involving betting the same goes for pro leagues in America. These leagues need to terminate relationships with betting apps and develop stricter zero-tolerance policies when it comes to employees wagering on sports. Otherwise, they’ll destroy themselves!

ESPN Classic was a novelty: a station that aired games decades before some of us were born. It wasn’t just Shows like the Sklar brother’s Cheap Seats and Sportcentury that were shown; it was entertaining documentaries and series like Friday Night Lights, too. This station was a time capsule fans took for granted.

All-star games feature great players wasting great talent in meaningless games with no stakes. As such, leagues have to do away with these contests. Fans don’t even tend to tune in. Why should leagues bother with them?

can’t help but groan about the “Don’t Say Gay” bill in Florida: this is yet another example of the GOP’s long history of an anti-gay message.

Not that Liberal politics’ willingness to hassle journalists, Co-workers, and others close to the Internet mob‘s hit list is better: it’s become glorified cyber-bullying, not true activism like we saw with Martin Luther King and Susan B Anthony.
People on both sides have to understand: that this is costing them, potential supporters. And with good reason!

The 1996 film “Space Jam” is beloved by my generation, and I get it. That doesn’t mean the message was helpful for my generation. Dreams of being a pro athlete, movie star, or actor aren’t simply achieved through self-confidence and work. Unfortunately, too many kids don’t, and didn’t, have the talent to make such a career possible. Chase a dream, but know yourself and your weaknesses! For further information:

One poorly timed joke by Chris Rock and an act of assault by Will Smith have tainted both actors’ legacies, and this could destroy both their careers. While Rock failed to practice discretion with his particular joke, Will Smith getting violent only makes things worse. This made Hollywood look terrible, and the movies may fade from its place in pop culture after all. Honestly, it’s well deserved!

Dan Riley’s commentary is on the following: The NFL combines give people no idea how good incoming rookies really are, eschewing route running or reading an offense for weight lifting and the meaningless broad jump. The combines need to be replaced with a seven-on-seven flag football tourney. At least that would show how we’ll quarterbacks can read defenses and receivers can run routes! Enough is enough already, NFL-ditch the combines!

In an era where scoring is down thanks to defensive shifts, both leagues using a DH is just what the doctor ordered. Adding an extra power hitter to substitute for pitchers will lead to more runs, period. It’s not like pitchers are paid for their at-bats anyway!
