Well you’ve got a lot to answer for with this outrageous 7-year $126 million deal for the Phillies’ Jayson Werth?   Oh, I [...]

College football bowl games come in two flavors: those worth watching and those that make you go, “Meh.” Out of the 35 bowl games scheduled in 2010-11 only four of them offer what I would consider an intriguing match up. BCS Championship Game Oregon vs Auburn January 10,  8:30 ET ESPN University of Phoenix Stadium at Glendale, [...]

One of the things you’ll never hear me say is, “You never know what can happen in one of those rivalry games”, or “Toss the record books out when those two teams play.” Truth is you never know what can happen in any game, but it’s an epic give up to say, “You never know…”.  It [...]

Hells no, that’s so 0 BC. [...]

USC Athletic Director Pat Haden spoke out Wednesday regarding the NCAA reinstating Auburn quarterback Cam Newton’s eligibility. For Haden, it was a rush to judgement that would’ve made FOX News proud. We’ve all known book smart people who lack basic common sense, right? Well you can place Haden, a Rhodes Scholar and lawyer, who played quarterback [...]

It’s probably not fair to equate LeBron James with Michael Vick.   After all, one’s a heartless dog killer while the other just dropped his home town (Akron/Cleveland) in favor of Miami.  But they’re two of the most hated professional athletes in the US and both went off last night in big wins. LeBron’s Return to Cleveland [...]
