WEEKEND AT BERNIE’S Listed in no special order, here’s what I liked about the Cardinals’ 4-2 win over the Mets on Friday night at Citi Field. The victory gave St. Louis a 3-1 record since getting swept by Milwaukee last weekend. Your favorite team is 12-14 on the...
Judging by the berserk run of picks made in the first round of the latest NFL Draft, it looks like the league plans to eliminate defense in 2024. At best, putting 11 defenders on the field will be optional – and certainly not mandatory. I designate Mike Martz as the...
