The US Labor Department might soon have to create a public service announcement for pro sports. It would warn of the disastrous economic impact that could occur when teams purposely play a procrastinating, chew-up-the-clock style of offense. The ad would be based on the 1980s drug-prevention PSA of a father confronting his pot-smoking son. […]

NASCAR: not just talking moonshine
Let’s do away with all your high-horsed jokes before we continue. Yes, NASCAR’s roots are in the Deep South, where terms like “y’all” and “you’ve got a pretty mouth” are common vernacular. Yes, NASCAR apparel is the most ungodly thing ever created, full of wraparound-print T-shirts and hats that are louder than a hot […]

Shooting for the ‘Stars
Most 18-year-olds fret over waking up in time to make their English 101 class. Mike Magee has to worry about scoring on Zach Thornton and Pat Onstad. The New York/New Jersey MetroStars forward, who graduated from high school earlier this year thanks to an accelerated program, has six goals already this season — just one […]

Rhinos enter tie land
Last time out. The Lynx are so bad. They’re so bad, they couldn’t even draw the Rhinos 2-2 at Frontier . The last time a non-Toronto team failed to score two goals on the road against Rochester was back in June, when the Rhinos shut out Montreal, 2-0. Last Friday, the Lynx (9-3-10, 30 points) […]

Rhinos enter Bizarro World
Last time out. Who would have dreamt that the Rhinos (12-4-5, 40 points) would get more points during the Charleston-Richmond road trip (3) than they did in the Charleston-Richmond home stand (2)? Anyone with their hands in the air is a filthy liar. Richmond (10-4-7, 34) still seems to have Rochester’s number, winning in Virginia […]

Finger-gnawing fun
Last time out. Montreal (8-3-3, 27 points) had its full complement of ex-Rhinos on the field (Martin Nash, Mauro Biello, Eduardo Sebrango, and Gabriel Gervais), but that dog refused to hunt as Rochester (8-4-2, 26) denied the Impact a third straight win, netting a 2-0 victory at Frontier on a lovely Saturday night. Montreal’s loss, […]

Rhinos beat themselves
Last time out.The Score won an autographed ball in the Perinton Youth Hockey raffle during Friday’s 3-2 home overtime loss against Montreal, but that trinket wasn’t enough to dissuade us from seriously considering a leap off the Court Street Bridge on the way home. The Rhinos watched a 2-0 lead evaporate with 10 minutes left […]

May we suggest…
Last time out. The Rhinos (16-3-7) split a pair of games with the Toronto Lynx (10-4-13) over the weekend. They dropped the road portion of the home-and-home series on Friday, losing 2-1. The Score is a little mystified by the decision not to start Hamisi Amani-Dove and the red-hot Greg Simmonds in that match, especially […]

Rochester Rhinos
Last time out. The Rhinos (15-3-6) hit the road for a pair of matches against two of the weaker teams in the A League. On Friday, they earned their first bonus point of the season with a 3-1 win over Cincinnati (8-0-16). Hamisi Amani-Dove scored twice in that game, and added one the following evening […]

The score
Who told you last Friday’s match against Charleston was going to be the biggest and toughest regular-season battle in the history of Frontier?
