Every week “Only A Game” brings you a variety of sports-related music. (Ok, sometimes “sports-related” is an exaggeration.) And every week, Senior Producer Gary Waleik writes about what we play and why he chose it.

Every week Bill chooses two favorites from the never-ending flow of ridiculous sports stories. Today he looks at the problems that arise when a drunken rugby player stumbles upon a golf cart. And fresh off the excitement of Olympic curling in Vancouver, Bill shares the details of the new “sport” of “human curling.”

The Olympics are over and that means we’ve got more time to think about baseball. The sport loves its lingo, from the hot corner to hot stove to Texas leaguers. And if you’ve ever wondered where the term “bullpen” came from, Bill Littlefield has an answer.

Bill has been trolling the Interwebs again. And that means more odd sports stories for you to enjoy. This week, the story (and video) of a 5 year old with super strength. Plus, a winter sport that didn’t quite make it to Vancouver: topless sledding.

For the athletes competing at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver, sports can bring fame, fortune, and even redemption. Not every athlete will make it to the Olympics, but for the 400 teenagers playing sports in the Doc Wayne Athletic League, sports just might be the key to their success. Only A Game’s Karen Given has our story.

Only A Game Senior Producer Gary Waleik offers his weekly thoughts on the music we use for the show, and proves he’s highly susceptible to the advances of Joan Osborne.

The Only A Game team loves the silly side of sports. That includes a hugging record and the latest fashion trends at the Olympics. Check out two of Bill Littlefield’s favorite “sports” stories from the past week or so, complete with links to photos!

Pitchers and catchers reported to Spring Training this week, and it’s got the baseball world buzzing. However, one of our listeners isn’t all smiles, as she’s realized that the Red Sox “Opening Day” will be played…at night. Should one of baseball’s cherished traditions be cast aside for better ratings? Only A Game wants to know what you think!

In all its glory

Only A Game Senior Producer Gary Waleik writes about his music selections for this week’s program, further expanding his cultural horizons along the way.

Could osteoperosis be a factor in skeleton at the upcoming Winter Olympics? Probably not, but Japan is still sending a 45-year-old athlete to compete. Also, a prisoner seems to miss the irony in arguing that he should be allowed to play “Dungeons and Dragons.”

Only A Game Senior Producer Gary Waleik writes about his music selections for this week’s program, and takes a stab at presenting a Boston accent in writing.

These aren’t exactly the top stories from the world of sports … but they are some of the more unusual. Learn why the Stanley Cup is racking up frequent flier miles. And after all the bad blood in Tennessee, one Knoxville resident is proposing an “honor” for recently departed Vols football coach Lane Kiffin.

The Only A Game staff never would have made it through the Summer of 2008 without John Weinstein and Carsey Yee on hand to teach Bill Littlefield how to properly pronounce “Beijing.” Now the Two Chinese Characters are back to teach Bill how to pronounce the name of the Chinese tennis star, Zheng Jie.

Not long ago, you couldn’t give away tickets to a University of Cincinnati football game. The Bearcats’ home field, Nippert Stadium, sat nearly empty on Saturdays in the fall. And by this time of year, UC fans were mercifully talking basketball, not football. But this year is different. With the Bearcats 11-0, ranked 5th in [...]
