The original cup was donated by Lord Stanley of a Preston, the Canadian Governor General of Canada. This is a unique trophy, one because of the sheer size of it, two because each player who wins it gets to bring it home with them and parade it through their home town. The championship team also…

THE POP EXPOSE – 90’s SPORTS CENTER THE BEST SHOW ON TV!

Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everybody. Today I’m looking at Sports Center back in nineties. Some would argue Sports Center was better than watching the game. The 3 main anchors Chris Berman, Keith Olbermann, and Dan Patrick made the highlight reals so entertaining. And also Stewart Scott. Maybe I loved the show because it was when I really got interested in sports. I would say right around 1991 I gathered up teams around the country, Michigan was my college team, Niners my NFL, Braves MLB, Suns NBA, and Penguins NHL.…

THE POP EXPOSE – GOAT Is A Bad Word!

Story by Mitchell Smith Hello everyone, today I’m taking a look at the GOAT. A word that didn’t exist when I was growing up. I think it should be GOTE, Greatest Of Their Era.

Year by year rules are changed and decade by decade the safety of the game is increased. With that said it’s hard to compare say a Labron James to a Kareem Abdul Jabbar or Tom Brady…
