May 2, 2013 6:32 PM This weekend at Riverfront Park in Troy, a craze that been sweeping the nation over the last several years takes its rightful place under the spotlight. The Food Truck Festival of NY will invade the Capital Region from 12 noon until 7 p.m. on Saturday, and we here at 104.5 "The Team" are ready to rock The Collar City.
April 30, 2013 3:11 PM Over the last day or so, current NBA free agent Jason Collins' revelation about being gay has sparked tremendous reaction on a global scale, both positive and negative. Along with the reaction by sports fan and media pundits alike, there's also the generic news media coverage, with both our local and national ABC stations doing great work with the story.
April 27, 2013 7:13 PM Going into the 2013 MLB season, I would have called you crazy if you said the older free agents signed during the off-season would help carry the Yankees to a good start and maintain relevancy in the American League East. However, that has been exactly the case, and this afternoon was another perfect example of that.
April 26, 2013 1:16 PM When you take a look at all 16 teams in the NBA Playoffs, the position seeing the greatest amount of injuries is point guard - Rajon Rondo has been out the last few months, Stephen Curry has had ankle issues on and off the entire season, and Steve Nash is dealing with multiple ailments as he plays through the pain. And now, you can add Russell Westbrook of the Oklahoma City Thunder to that list.
April 25, 2013 11:02 PM Entering the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, you could have argued that the Jets needed help at pretty much every position on the football, except maybe kicker and punter. Meanwhile, the Giants and Bills both had specific needs that needed to be addressed. In my mind, two teams succeeded and one team somewhat failed.
April 25, 2013 9:04 PM Usually, when you see players from the same position go first and second overall in the NFL Draft, they play what are called "skill positions" on the offensive side of the football. However, this year is a special exception, as there weren't very many super elite offensive talents in this year's class. Therefore, the first 2 picks of the 2013 NFL Draft focused on the position of Offensive Tackle for the first time in history, as the Kansas City Chiefs selected Eric Fisher with their #1 pick and the Jacksonville Jaguars chose Luke Joeckel with their #2 overall pick.
April 20, 2013 10:45 AM For almost a year, Renan Barao has been "the talk" of the UFC Bantamweight division, becoming the interim champion while the real champion has been recovering from ACL surgery. And now, Dominick Cruz is looking to reclaim his throne completely, as he continues his recovery from the December surgery.
April 17, 2013 9:50 PM After the first 6 innings of tonight's game at Yankee Stadium, it looked as if the Diamondbacks were cruising to an easy victory and setting up a "rubber game" in the series finale on Thursday. But as John Sterling would probably say, "that's why the game of baseball is 9 innings," and now the Diamondbacks will look to avoid a sweep when they take the field again.
April 17, 2013 8:45 PM For anyone who ever pays attention to the articles I usually put together for this website, you are very aware that it is extremely rare for me to post a video and that I usually only write about news stories. However, when something as awesome as this occurs, I willingly make an exception.
April 16, 2013 6:15 PM When you grow up as an avid sports fans, there are certain men in the broadcasting industry that just stick with you for all eternity. Pat Summerall was one of those voices for the National Football League, and sadly he has passed away at the age of 82. A family friend confirmed to the Dallas Morning News that Summerall passed away in his hospital room at Zale Lipshy Hospital while recovering from hip surgery.
April 15, 2013 1:16 PM Today is very special to Major League Baseball, as the league holds their annual celebration of Jackie Robinson Day. During every season on April 15th, MLB commemorates the anniversary of Robinson breaking the color barrier when he made his debut for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. This season is particularly special, as the movie "42" was just released last Friday and had the best box office sales in movie theaters over the weekend.
April 12, 2013 12:21 PM Last week, Siena College introduced the new head coach of their men's basketball program, former Loyola coach Jimmy Patsos. He brings a lot of experience to the table from his time as an assistant under legendary coach Gary Williams at the University of Maryland, as well as the last ten years he spent within the MAAC during his tenure at Loyola.
