I can hardly believe there’s only three more weekends of ‘real’ football left, notice I’m not counting the Pro Bowl as actual football. Preseason predictions: For the record my preseason Super Bowl picks, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, are done. Also for the record, SI’s Peter King predicted the Patriots and Bears. Ha! What an idiot. Divisional diversity: It rarely [...]

Pics I took today of the new basketball practice facility at Ole Miss.

Bye, bye, bye, bye Beckham. The Armani empire released the first photos of new spokesmodel and football (soccer for us US blokes) star Cristiano Ronaldo. The Real Madrid and Portuguese national team member is no doubt comfortable being photographed shirtless in various states of nakedness, and while these photos may have been brushed up a bit [...]

Lane Kiffin’s surprise departure to USC may leave the Vols high and dry for the 2010 signing period. It may also cost the AD and UT President’s their jobs- many folks were not happy about the way they handled the Phil Fulmer “situation.” All and all this has been a wacky last month in college [...]

After further review not even replay can save humans from making mistakes so I think it’s time we end our aversion to technology and embed pucks, footballs and baseballs with Radio Frequency Id’s (RFIDs). This way, in football, we can eliminate an umpire’s judgement as to where the ball should be marked and save some [...]

OK, so I don’t expect my new favorite show, Blue Mountain State, to win any Emmys, but after watching a couple of the trailers I found myself laughing out loud. Blue Mountain State, the story of a legendary college football program premiers tonight on Spike TV at 10 PM EST and my apologies to the Daily [...]

A very smart person once told me, ‘people change only when it benefits them’. So with his re-introduction to baseball as hitting coach for the St. Louis Cardinals, there’s never been a better time personally for Mark McGwire to change his story on steroid use. I’m a big believer in giving people a second chance if they [...]

How did the highest-scoring playoff game in the history of the NFL end? If you answered on a defensive touchdown in overtime then give yourself a cookie. After all of the dust settled from the wild card weekend match ups, the AFC underdogs reigned, while the NFC favorites held serve at home. One more bonus question: [...]

It will be deja vu in Dallas tonight when the Cowboys and Eagles square off for the second time in six days. Last week Dallas shut the Eagles out 24-0 and captured the NFC East title, but the stakes are much higher in tonight’s elimination game. These teams are evenly matched at quarterback, wide receiver and tight [...]

SportsFags preview of this weekend’s NFL Wild Card Weekend. NY Jets at Cincinnati Bengals 4:30 EST on NBC The Jets may have backed into the playoffs when both the Colts and Bengals decided to either pull or rest their starters in the last two weeks, but the Jets do bring the NFL’s #1 defense to Cincinnati. The [...]

I’ve been disappointed in a lot of things in my life, there was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the guy with the big feet…well you get the point. But never had I experienced what was close to outright sports depression as when I saw Colt McCoy get knocked out of the BCS title game. To say [...]

Hot, muscular, college football jocks going at it for three and a half hours tonight, whew! What else could a gay sports fan ask for? Well maybe nude football — quick someone call Bravo, I just got an idea for a new show. OK, back to sports for a minute. Get ready for a close, hard [...]

Gilbert Arenas Suspension The NBA leveled an indefinite suspension against Washington Wizards’ foward Gilbert Arenas on Wednesday for a gun incident involving teammate Javaris Crittenton. The latest reports corroborate the initial Washington Post story that Crittenton actually loaded his gun during the incident at the Verizon Center. If true, Crittenton deserves a life long ban from the [...]

NFL linebacker Brain Cushing is making a name for himself with gay sports fans both on and off the field. The Houston Texans selected the extremely well built and former USC LB with the 15th overall pick of the 2009 draft and he subsequently earned the NFL’s 2009 Defensive Rookie of the Year award. The 6-2/243 native [...]

Former USC linebacker Brian Cushing was named the AP’s NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year, receiving 39 out of 50 votes by a nationwide panel of 50 sports writers and broadcasters. If you’re wondering why USC had a little bit of a drop off this year consider this, Green Bay Packers linebacker Clay Matthews, who also [...]

The NCAA is considering a rule change that would allow officials to remove players from games if they show signs or symptoms of a concussion. The NFL moved recently to toughen the standards on when players are allowed to return after experiencing concussion-like symptoms. With all of the science recently regarding the long-term effects of concussions on [...]

The extent to which the Dallas Cowboys recovered from a disappointing 2008 season is nothing short of remarkable. The difference between 2008 and 2009 is simple, the Cowboys shed Terrell Owens, Tank Johnson, Adam ‘PacMan’ Jones and Jessica Simpson. It may sound like a simplified version of events but with Tony Romo and Wade Phillips able [...]
