Alex Rodriguez is the “straw” and my perception on America’s Pasttime is the “camel’s back”. No thanks to his admittance to taking a performance enhancing drug during the 2001 season and on through the 2003 season, I feel as if I’ve fallen out a tire swing and everyone’s pointing and laughing. Like a sweaty wrist band being tossed in the 5th [...]
Time T.O. Stop
Enough is enough! I have defended Terrell Owens for the last time. I liked the raw super talent that he had. I liked the fact that he was overly confident and was never going to apologize for anything he said, but now it has gone too far. I excused Terrell’s actions in San Francisco because [...]
No Memory = No Common Sense
The New England Patriots of the future are saved. Given the fact that they are facing a spontaneous quarterback delimma, the young-gun talent of Matt Cassel has landed as a gift in the lap of Belichick and gang. With so much hype surrounding the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback Matt Cassel, it is now obvious that he has proven [...]
Funny Moment in college football television
While watching the Michigan vs. Notre Dame football game this afternoon my roommate and I noticed a simple error made by NBC sports announcer Tom Hammond:
We thought it was hillarious and recorded it for the whole world to see. Enjoy
Jake Locker Costs Team Big Time
Jake Locker, the quarterback for the University of Washington, cost his team a chance at a big time upset of BYU on Saturday. Locker scored what appeared to be the game-tying touchdown at the end of regulation. Locker was so excited about his touchdown that he threw the ball into the air and celebrated with [...]
Instant Replay
Major League Baseball is right around the corner from adding instant replay… MLB and the umpires just signed an agreement to start using instant replay for on the field calls… there still isn’t a for sure date set when they will start to use it, but it’s coming fast… so as cameras are set up [...]
Olympics
As I sat down to write today I had a full head of steam ready to write about the US Men’s basketball team, the “Redeem Team” if you will, but that has to be put on hold right now. Michael Phelps has just tied Mark Spitz for the most gold medals in one single Olympiad. [...]
NBA in August
While most attention on the NBA front is via the “Redeem Team” trying to get back to the prestige that was once held by the ‘92, ‘96, and ‘00 Men’s Olympic basketball teams. With that said there was a fairly significant trade that went down today in the NBA. Mo Williams, a high-scoring [...]
Brewers
Going into the game Wednesday night against the lowly San Diego Padres, the Brewers are a perfect 7-0 since the Manny Parra and Prince Fielder scuffle. Mind you they just got done with a series with the Washington Nationals and just before that the Reds. All three team including the Padres are well below .500 [...]
Owings to Cincy??
Rumors have surfaced that one of the “players to be named later” is Micah Owings. I said in a previous post that Owings had equivalent pop to Dunn, and yes, that is a slight exaggeration, but the kid can swing it. The last two players were said to be going through waivers, which [...]
