In 2003, we at WPIX were shocked and saddened by the sudden passing of our friend and colleague, sportscaster Sean Kimerling. He was only 37 when he passed away because of a very aggressive form of testicular cancer. He is gone but never forgotten. Monday I went to his annual golf outing on Long Island. Check out my report.

Golf is a fantastic sport that mixes athletic ability with technical form in such a way that unless you have a little of both, you won't be successful. That's why you can play golf at any age. As you get older, your athletic ability may wane but if you keep a consistent swing and read lines well etc., you can remain competitive. I love that! What I don't love is how anxious I get when I play. I want to just GET IT and get it right then and there. First off, I need to go to the course more than once in a blue moon and secondly, I need to remember that you don't just GET golf. What a way to learn this and other life lessons than in my nine holes with my husband and two new friends, Frank and Henry earlier this week. (in picture below)

Nearly 500 runners wearing just their skivies gathered in Central Park to break the Guiness World Record for "largest gathering of people in underwear". They did it...HURRAH!

I think that takes guts too. I am a former runner and did a lot of it wearing "almost underwear" but now as a 33 year old mom, I will keep the running shorts on, thank you very much. How about you? I love the fact people were having fun with the event! We caught up with some of the participants to get their take on the event....check out the video player on the right side of the page!

Footnote: I am only speaking of people who have chosen to be out in their underwear. In light of the Erin Andrews "Peeping Tom" issue, I don't want to seem insensitive. She was violated and I hope it doesn't happen to anyone ever again. Kudos to ESPN for having her back in a big way and reprimanding those who have sensationalize the incident.

*Also, thanks to New York City Triathlon for the picture.

Marc Anthony has become a minority owner in the Miami Dolphins, along with Gloria & Emilio Estefan. By association, Marc adds his wife, Jennifer Lopez, "owns everything he owns" so she too can be considered part owner. These two are lifelong New Yorkers, Marc a huge Mets fan, and "Jenny from the Block", a Yankee follower. So why are we holding up the aquamarine and orange?

Am I super upset? Not really--too many other things to worry about than how Marc and Jennifer spend their millions--BUT couldn't you have helped a local? We know the Mets could use any punch they can get right now, even in the form of a spicy duo putting money into a team Marc loves and follows intensely. (Maybe that trade--no it's not a trade!--could have happened. I'm speculating but you never know, right? ) Now all the excitement is down in sunny Florida and here in rain soaked NY, we are left with no salsa and spice. Marc and Jennifer are apparently looking for residence in Miami, hence the purchase and office for Marc at Dolphin Stadium. I fear: are we losing them all? If Marc goes, does it mean the start of fans retreating? Someone find me Jerry Seinfeld...quick!

I had the best time judgng the Red Bulls second annual "Iron Chef" cook-off at the ESPN Zone. The players are great! Their energy, their enthusiasm, and their efforts in making my belly happy were very much appreciated, and it was a pleasure getting to know the guys.

I love their down to earth nature and feel they have what so many professional athletes lose when they make it "big". I suggest everyone take in a game at Giants Stadium. The team is playing well and have some must see players including Mac Kandji. First though, check out our story on the cook-off and how Andy Boyens tried to get some extra brownie points from me.

Lolita Lopez checks out a local New York Titans lacrosse player who works just as hard in the office as he plays on the field. Special thanks to Matt Estreich and Pat Ivers for putting together this story. Here's more on the Titans.

The post-Super Bowl/pre-March Madness period we’re currently mired in is traditionally known as the “February Blahs.”

Meaning mid-season NBA, NCAA, and NHL games are best summed up – not with a word or phrase – rather a primitive grunt (and for me, full-extension tongue stick-out).

While true for the most part, TODAY is the exception. Just take a look at the lineup we have in sports tonight:

(***Picture Explanation: This is how all primates should cope with the February Blahs.)

Devin Harris hits game winning shot vs. the 76ers

This is why I love sports... Last night at the Izod Center, Devin Harris of the Nets hit an incredible 47 foot shot from just behind the halfcourt line at the buzzer to beat the 76ers 98-96. That heave capped a 39 point night for Harris. The Nets snapped a 5 game losing streak. An unbelieveable way to end the game. For a moment, I was able to forget about all that's wrong with sports.

Now that the Giants and Jets are done til next September and there is still about a month until pitchers and catchers report... And then still another 3 months until the baseball regular season... What captures your sports fancy? What are you paying attention to?
