Michael Vick’s latest brouhaha may land him back in the NFL’s principal’s office. It appears the guy who got himself all shot at Vick’s 30th b’day party was a dog fighting co-defendant. If that was the only incident it’s no big deal really, but NFL commish Roger Goodell told Vick not to hang around that crowd anymore. [...]

How do we know that soccer has finally arrived in the US? Well how about Bill Clinton’s appearance for the USA’s final group game against Algeria on Wednesday? Think this guy’s happy to be out of politics? With Hillary and Barack back in DC dealing with the former General Stanley McChrystal firestorm, Bill’s tripping balls at the world’s [...]

Foxwoods Resort Casino and MGM Grand at Foxwoods , along with the Connecticut Alliance for Business Opportunities (CABO), has announced an enactment of newly expanded Human Resources and Procurement policies that will officially recognize and protect the rights of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgendered resort casino employees. This announcement comes in accordance with the ratification of recent [...]

USA head coach Bob Bradley shook up the USA’s starting lineup and the US responded with a wide open attack, producing a dramatic first half chock full of missed opportunities. Lineup Changes Jonathan Bornstein replaced left center back Oguchi Onyewu and Maurice Edu started in the midfield instead of Jose Torres. Herculez Gomez came on for suspended [...]

For those of you who don’t live in Connecticut (you’re lucky) and who don’t have to worry about the prospects of Linda McMahon becoming your elected Senator this fall (you’re luckier !) comes news that the widow of former WWE wrestler Owen Hart is suing the WWE and has included Republican Senatorial candidate McMahon in the [...]

Outrageous. Horrid. Unconscionable. These are some of the words being used to describe the refereeing in the USA-Slovenia match. But perhaps even worse than the calls themselves is the fact that US soccer fans were truly robbed of a watershed moment for the sport. Koman Coulibaly may sound like an unfamiliar name now, but it won’t in a [...]

This US team is known for coming from behind. Trailing 2-0 at the half to Slovenia, the US rallied with goals from Landon Donovan and coach’s son Michael Bradley to finish level for the second straight World Cup match. The US was horrible in the first half and was looking for leadership; they got it from Donovan [...]

In a game featuring both poor shooting and great defense it was fitting the crucial play was an offensive rebound. Lakers’ forward Pau Gasol out hustled Boston’s Rajon Rondo on Kobe’s missed three with 28 seconds left for his 18th rebound, his 9th on the offensive end. Instead of it being Celtic’s ball with a [...]

According to a variety of published articles and sources a church in Memphis, Tennessee has told a softball coach and her team they can’t play in the church sponsored league. The Bellevue Baptist Church has told Jana J. Jacobson that she lives a “deviant lifestyle” and she and her team are not welcome to participate in [...]

Utah’s joining the Pac-10! Talk about anti-climatic. In the wake of what almost was or what could’ve been, only the series end of The Seinfeld Show was a bigger disappointment. Pac-10 commissioner Larry Scott should be praised for his aggressiveness and chastised for his inability to close the big deal. There’s nothing wrong with acquiring Utah, it’s a [...]

A rare goal by Swiss midfielder Gelson Fernandes was all Switzerland needed to beat European champion Spain in the opening game for both in Group H World Cup play. For guys like me, who aren’t big-time soccer/football experts, it had the feel of an NFL or college game where one opponent continually moves the ball down [...]

Boston lost starting C Kendrick Perkins in the 1st quarter of Game 6, and the Lakers took advantage of his absence to dominate the paint and pull even in the series (3-3) with a 89-67 ass kicking of the Celtics. The 67 points put up by Boston was the second lowest point total in an NBA Finals [...]

With the Big 10 conference at 12 members and the Big 12 conference at 10 members it’s time to use some creativity and regional flavor to rename the conferences. SEC, ACC, Mountain West; these are great names for a conference that tell you all you need to know about where they’re located. Seriously, how much [...]

Many of us in the sports journalist world, including myself and Rick the proprietor of Sportsfags, have always suspected but have never been able to nail down the fact that soccer is a gay, make that big time gay, sport. That is until now. A spokesman for the sport held a press conference and has finally [...]

Big 12 commish Dan Beebe and influential behind-the-scenes power brokers apparently brokered a deal to keep Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State in the Big 12 stabble. Don’t be surprised if down the road we learn the bowls, and possibly bowl sponsors, got involved in order to slow down or stall realignment. After all, [...]

If you f*** with an NFL quarterback in a strip club at 3:00 AM you’re an idiot and deserve to get knocked upside the head. The video here clearly shows Tennessee Titans quarterback Vince Young minding his own business when some douchebag bar employee thought it would be cool to flash him the upside down Horns symbol. [...]

Sorry guys I tried. Nope, can’t do it. I admit sometimes I have the attention span of a six year old but I just can’t get into watching grown men kicking or bouncing a ball off their head anymore than watching grown men hitting a little white ball over acres of land. The best line [...]

Almost all of the chatter, save Chip Brown of orangebloods.com, about college conference expansion/implosions has been pure speculation. And when you consider all the public and behind closed doors posturing going on, it gives me tired head. So just like I did a few weeks ago with Nebraska’s move to the Big 10 , I’m gonna tell you why [...]

Talk about bad timing. The same week the Big 12 South appears ready to join the Pac-10, USC gets crushed by the NCAA for their Reggie Bush violations. The NCAA today announced a loss of 30 scholarships and a two-year bowl ban for the Trojans, that’s huge. The truth about the sanctions: No matter what he says, Former [...]
