Kobe knows how to put on a show.
The biggest reason for Bryant’s frustration in the All-Star game was that he wanted to give the fans something to talk about. When LeBron deferred (as he so often does in those moments) Kobe was noticeably upset. Continue reading “Kobe Continues To Prove Why He Is Best In Show”

Hines Ward will go down as one of the most decorated players in Pittsburgh Steelers history. If, however, he is true to his word on playing in 2012 he will not go down as a career Steeler. Continue reading “Hines Ward Era In Pittsburgh Set To End”
Looking down the list of pitchers for the Colorado Rockies you see the new norm in Major League Baseball. Dozens of pitchers file into Spring Training looking to capitalize on an offseason of work as they prepared their young bodies for the rigors of a 162-game baseball season, most of them born between 1975 and 1989. There is one exception on those back fields of Arizona amongst the mass of players convened to fight for a major league spot. Continue reading “Jamie Moyer Continues To Defy The Odds, Father Time”
I have a question for you before you enter that war room Coach Shanahan.
Please, just hear me out.
I understand you’re heavily considering trading up to get the number two pick in the draft but I just wanted to run something by you before you make anymore mistakes with this franchise. Continue reading “Washington Redskins Should Take A Long Look At Russell Wilson”
For some it could be seen as a positive step in the right direction. I am not some.
Terrell Owens, he of the 1,000+ receptions, 153 touchdowns, and more receiving yards (15,934) than anyone in the history of the game not named Jerry Rice made his Arena Football League debut and scored three touchdowns on 53 total yards.
it was a sad sight to see, a man once known for making plays that no one could imagine for some of the most storied franchises in football (Dallas, San Francisco, Philadelphia) was now toiling away in Allen, Texas. Not merely for the sheer fact of wanting to continue his football career.
His situation is much more dire than that. Continue reading “The Sad End To A Prolific Career For Terrell Owens”
Chipper takes shots at drug cheaters (though he considered it)
There was a time when he considered it. Chipper Jones thought about taking a pill, sticking a needle in his arm, doing whatever it is cheaters do in hopes of gaining an edge and fooling us into believing the mutant statistics all came about from hard work and whey shakes.
“Yeah. I mean, definitely,” the Braves’ almost-40 third baseman said Monday when asked if he ever considered using performance-enhancing drugs. “You see peers doing it. You see contemporaries on other teams doing it and putting up [big] numbers. But at that point in my career, while I didn’t have kids yet, and I thought, I don’t want to jeopardize their lives [with the backlash] one day.”
Jones will go into the Hall of Fame one day. He will be in a special group of players who, as he said, “have done it right. The guys who get done with their career and make it through the so-called steroid era unscathed, that’s a huge feather in our cap.”
There have never been any allegations against Jones. No smoking syringe. No leaked grand jury testimony with his name on it. No chapter in a Jose Canseco book.
“I can just imagine what my dad would’ve said if he found out that four, five or six years out of my career he knew that I was cheating,” Jones said. “He told me as much. He said, ‘Please tell me you never did that.’ I said, ‘I never did.’ He said, ‘I can’t think of anything that would disappointment me more than finding out that you did something like that.’ I said, ‘Well, you don’t have to worry about that.’”

Pat Knight this is your signature moment.
The son of legendary head coach Bob Knight went on a rant of epic proportion after his team lost to Stephen F. Austin. It wasn’t so much the rant part that was shocking but the content of it. To call your players out for being lazy, heartless, problematic thieves in a public forum is probably one of the most shocking displays I’ve seen from a coach in a long time.
I understand the frustration of a coach is at a high when your players aren’t performing and don’t seem to care if they get better. I don’t understand airing out the laundry in public, especially in a way that doesn’t build up the players or the program.
Lots to learn coach.
