When Captain Matthew Clinch said he wanted to become a woman, the army told him he wasn’t the first. There had been others before him and there would be more. ”When I heard that, it was a bit of a relief. I thought they’d have a precedent and know what to do,” says Matthew – who now lives [...]

Memo to the Nationals:  You’re supposed to be cutting cost in Washington these days.  Remember the American people spoke with a clear voice and said cut spending and all that other stuff? 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, [...]

In America today, the fear of homosexuality is prevalent, but misplaced. In most cases, we deny the rights of gays and lesbians to marry, serve in our military or even seek justice when they face discrimination. The time has come to end these practices. Of course, when the debate about homosexuality and issues related to it come [...]

We wish Sen. John McCain could have a little instructional sit-down with the late President Harry S. Truman about doing the right thing. Truman didn’t mince words, and we’re confident that he’d tell McCain in no uncertain terms to quit playing politics with American military policy. Clearly, that’s what McCain is doing. Despite a Pentagon study that showed [...]

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 [...]

To say there’s a lot on the line today when top-ranked Auburn takes on No. 19 South Carolina is like saying Brittany Spears is a little tore up after 29 years. By the way Happy Belated Birthday Brit Brit!! For Auburn it’s simple, win today and you’re on the way to Tempe, AZ to play for [...]

Although they will not repeat as national champions in 2010, the University of Alabama managed to place two players on TheSportsFag’s top 25 college football hotties of 2010.  That’s got to be something head coach Nick Saban could scoreboard during recruiting, right? At No. 3, freshman kicker Cade Foster isn’t your average kicker.  Foster weighs in [...]

Awwww damn…couldn’t this wait until after the Rangers win the World Series?  We’re only talking about a few months? On second thought, if the Yankees get Cliff Lee…well then you might as well come in May. UPDATE: What do you give the man who literally has everything? Frankincense and Myrrh? 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 [...]
