Kevin Tyburski Archive
Kevin Tyburski, KT is like the Yankees, you either love him or you hate him. He tries to make up for his piss poor grammar and spelling errors by using wit and comedy and his love for useless sports knowledge is a result of him being the shortest in his family growing up. A die hard Canucks fan, soccer freak and confident enough in his marriage to acknowledge man crushes on a weekly basis, Kevin will continue to write until he finds a new hobby. Kevin was host of a weekly radio show, "Sports with the Hoff", until he had a child. They suck your free time away.
The pitch of a nation. The pitch for 2,977.

Ten years ago, on September 11th, 2001, one of the worst terrorist attacks on American soil took place physically in New York, Washington D.C. and Pennsylvania. As you can see I mentioned the word physically because to me it took place in every American emotionally. We saw the fear in the eyes of those watching the towers collapse. We heard screams and tones of disbelief. We saw our flag tattered. We saw our land of the free slowly being bulldozed away. But in this moment we heard a voice stir in each one of us and remind us not to forget the other statement in our Star Spangled Banner: We are the home of the brave. This was capsulated to Americans and the world in one moment. In one pitch.

America’s Idle

We love our athletes. I know I do. I had posters on my wall growing up of Michael Jordan, Frank Thomas, Pavel Bure and of course Kathy Ireland. The latter is another story for another time, but I digress. We idolize them and even put together our own little game of “American Idol” together to select our favorite. We even go back and forth between teams because we may follow a particular player or buy new jerseys when they change their number. With every generation there are players we look up to as kids and even as we grow into adults with a kids heart, we continue to follow them even though they are not what they were in their prime. But as I look around at yesterdays and todays athletes, I believe there is a vast hole of this “Idle” winner in the world today… if you’re looking in the wrong place.

What if…

What if there is life on other planets?
What if we found out who the Babushka lady was?
What if women didn’t ask men if they looked fat…ever?
What if Ricky Martin really isn’t gay?
What if LeBron doesn’t win a ring in Miami?
All age-old questions but only one seems to have our attention this summer.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to downplay extraterrestrials, just in case they’re reading this and want to probe me on their next trip zippin around the galaxy or Ricky Martins Menudoesqe rise and fall to fame, again, due to his zombie-like 15-year stroll out of the closet. LeBron James’s signing in Miami for 6 years in the summer of 2010 will go down as both the greatest signing and pairing in professional sports history or…I’ll say it:
The biggest bust ever.In any sport.
Ever.
Bigger than Ryan Leaf and Sam Bowie. Combined. Times infinity. Plus one.
