Apparently, a travesty happened last weekend in college football.
Savannah State, a division I-AA program, played Oklahoma State and lost 84-0. I would have thrown in a more appropriate term for the loss but there are none really. Continue reading “NCAA Football 2012-2013: Savannah State, Florida State Type Match Ups Aren’t A New Concept. But Is It Wrong?”
It’s been nine, frustratingly long years since an American hoisted the US Open, or any grand slam trophy.
The last man to do so, Andy Roddick, retired after his fourth-round loss to Juan Martin del Potro, yesterday. A somewhat unceremonious end to a great career altered drastically by the likes of Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal.

It was only a matter of time before Tony Romo does what he normally does statistically on a big stage.
Playing on a national stage and in the home of the defending world champion (and bitter NFC East rival) New York Giants, Tony Romo and the Dallas Cowboys played the role of party stoppers in grand fashion.

Monday August 20, 2012: Draft schedules are released
I think we all know the ramifications of this event. It’s no longer about “Bounty Gate,” Free Agency, and Coaching changes. Continue reading “Five Fantasy Football Drafts In Three Days: My Week Long Process To NFL Fantasy Football Championship Glory in 2012-2013”
Kyrie Irving might be fast becoming my favorite Duke player of all-time.
And I’m not a Duke fan.
Irving challenged Kobe Bryant to a game of 1-on-1 for charity ($50,000 donation) next summer and upon hearing this I immediately got so excited it shocked me. Check out the exchange provided by DukeBluePlanet Youtube page
Also, you can’t really fault Kobe’s bravado; especially considering who he is. But ummmm Kyrie not dribbling? He might wanna check the practice tape.

Marino, Barkley, Ewing, Drexler, Griffey and Tim Brown. When I say those names what comes to mind? Is it legends of their sport without a championship?
Don’t look now, but Philip Rivers is treading dangerously into a category he doesn’t want to be in. And no signs of it getting any better anytime soon. Continue reading “NFL Offseason 2012: Philip Rivers Is At A Career Crossroads”
College football has their playoff. They also have a huge headache coming in 2014.
For some, this is seen as the answer to all of college football’s problems. It will determine the “true” national champion. All a playoff really does, in the case of the proposed four-team format, is leave the door wide open for a larger debate and personal agendas.

It isn’t often I look at an NFL contract dispute and take the side of the franchise.
Holdouts are nothing new in the realm of the National Football League. Big name franchise players are doing so as I type (Drew Brees, Maurice Jones-Drew, possibly Darrell Revis). But one contract situation I’ve held off on commenting on for some time has been the one between the Chicago Bears and running back Matt Forte.

This is what we call the old “Uncle Charlie.” Nasty indeed. Gregor Blanco just got baseball’s equivalent of posterized.

Good for Mark Cuban going on ESPN FirstTake and giving it to Skip Bayless. I’m not a Skip Bayless hater, I’m just one who loves it when people are held to the fire for their words. I can be right or wrong in what I write, but I will make sure I know what I’m talking about if I put it out there. Kudos, Mark.
