I’m a big fan of hall of famers returning to the place that made them famous. The return of Pudge Rodriguez to Arlington is special. The all-time franchise leader in hits makes his re-debut as a starting catcher this evening and I’m hoping just as many fans are headed to celebrate him as are headed next [...]

While the Seminoles prepare to replace six starters on defense, Sr Linebacker Dekoda Watson prepares for his new role as a leader. A return to national prominence for Florida State starts with getting back to the ACC Championship game. Watson’s leadership role will be critical for a team that went 3-3 down the stretch and returns [...]

We often hear that quarterback is the most difficult position to play in football and while that may be the case I’m beginning to think it’s not as difficult as some former QB analysts would lead us to believe. How else do you explain Greg Paulus being named as the starting quarterback for Syracuse. Is Syracuse [...]

He’s The Real McCoy alright. Not since the Marlboro Man has there been a better named Texan than Colt McCoy.

An often-cited story relates to McCoy’s birth: his parents were from Texas but his father, Brad McCoy, was working just across the Texas border in Hobbs, New Mexico. Brad McCoy reportedly brought a shoe-box of Texas dirt [...]

After spending a few days of hard work ‘researching’ college football hotties I had #24, Gators WR Paul Wilson, as a solid top ten hottie. So what happened to Wilson to warrant such a precipitous drop in the SportsFags College Football Hottie Preview? Wilson, who missed all but two games last year due to injuries, re-broke [...]

Wow, what a week for freshman QB Matt Barkely. First, it appears the true freshman is pulling ahead of the once heir apparent Aaron Corp in the QB battle at USC. Then, in the same week, he’s ranked #25 in the SportsFags College Football Hottie Rankings! Hummm, I wonder which one he’s more excited about. Barkley, at 6’3″ [...]

The surprise comeback of Michael Vick overshadowed Tom Brady’s triumphant return to the NFL. While the Partiots walked away with the preseason win the Eagles signed another offensive player with first-round draft pick ability. Michael Vick isn’t going to be expected to play quarterback anytime soon but adding his abilities to an offense which now includes [...]

The NFL preseason is underway but a lot of eyes are still tuned to baseball and the American League wildcard race. This weekends battle between the Texas Rangers and Boston Red Sox has plenty of drama and story lines. The Red Sox have a 1/2 game lead over ther Rangers and four game lead over the [...]

I can’t help but wonder will Dante Stallworth’s return to the NFL receive as much coverage and outrage as Michael Vick? He was suspended for a year by NFL commissioner Roger Goddell for DUI manslaughter? DUI is something that most Americans have heard of, done and joked about. Dog fighting is a dark under world, seedy [...]

With summer winding down tempers are flaring, beers and balls are being thrown and the post-season push is heating up. It’s getting a little crazy in the major leagues and don’t think that Bud Selig’s not gonna notice the uptick in batters being thrown at over the past couple of weeks. Gotta feeling that Bob Watson [...]

The pre-season football schedule really gets rolling tonight with four games on the schedule two of which hold some intrigue. Cowboys and Raiders from Oakland tonight. Hottie and gay favorite Tony Romo removed two drama queens, Terrell Owens and Jessica, from his life during the off season and the Cowboys will be improved this year with [...]

20-year old Detroit Tiger hottie Rick Porcello makes a mistake and starts a bench-clearing brawl in Boston last night. There’s some history of HBPs between these two clubs in this series. I’m not sure this one was intentional, I mean look at his his reaction right after the pitch and as Youk comes after him. OK, so [...]

Can you see the star fading? I know it’s a little further to the NE than it wants to be, but I can see it. After being unceremoniously dumped from the Cowboys, TO finds only the Bills interested in his ‘services’. Now his reality show bombs. What’s a fading star to do? Is it time for [...]

So with the rampant speculation regarding Michael Vick’s return to football, what can his new team expect? I imagine ESPN is gearing up for 24-hour coverage. After all, if they bent over to stick a washed up, 40-year old QB like Brett Favre up their ass what are they gonna do with someone who could actually [...]

The NFL pre-season kicked off last night with the annual Hall of Fame (HOF) game in Canton, OH. The game brought an end to this weekend’s HOF festivities which included the induction of Ralph Wilson, Jr., Randall McDaniel, Bob Hayes, Rod Woodson, Derrick Thomas, and Bruce Smith. I guess you can be a HOF’er without winning [...]

Saying athletes who test positive for steroids, illegal drugs or banned substances would like a do over is like saying Palmeiro and Clemens might like a mulligan with Congress. You think some lessons would’ve been learned in what many consider to be the early days of testing. Yet, the denials continue and athletes who deny positive [...]

No doubt there’s an obsession amongst some gay people to ‘out’ others. I’m not sure what drives their need to make someone confront their sexuality in such a public manner. There’s a subset of gay bloggers and blogs where speculation as to one’s sexual preference is a consistent theme. I don’t get it. The latest [...]

I don’t know why I read USA Today at lunch time cause it usually gets me so riled up I have a hard time swallowing. The latest example nearly made me choke on my club sandwich from Which-Wich a few minutes ago. It appears that Anquan Boldin’s not happy with management about his contract, wahhhhhh. Another [...]

The Oakland A’s took advantage of Ron Washington’s over-management and rallied for a 3-2 victory last night for a loss that resonates beyond the boxscore. Are the Rangers dead in the AL West? Not quite, it’s still just the beginning of August but falling 4.5 games off the Angels pace makes it a long up hill [...]

Wanna see where Tony Romo is gonna shower after the game? Check out the shower, locker room and big screen photos from my recent tour of the new home of the Cowboys. Let me preface this report with the fact that I am an ardent Cowboy hater and Steelers fan. So when my boyfriend suggested that [...]
